The photographs fluttered down like colorful snowflakes, dancing in the air before cascading to the ground

Facing Natalia’s reproach, Magnus responded not with anger, but with laughter His eyes shone with profound affection “My dear he began. “You must know how much I love you How completely I am devoted to you. I want to know and feel everything about you haven’t been spying on you, but I’ve been appreciating you openly You just never realized it

He took her hand and looked into her angry eyes, now moist with unshed tears “My dear

However, Natalia remained unmoved by Magnus explanation His repeated deceit and manipulation infuriated her Her fading anger flared back to life. She glared at Magnus, and now her voice was thick with ire “Magnus, get out of my life! Eve had enough of your games. I have nothing left for you to hurt so please for my sake and yours, leave me alone”

Seeing Natalia’s pain–stricken face, Magnus felt his heart shatter He approached her slowly, undeterred by her attempts to retreat ‘My dear” he said softly, how can you ask me to let you go? Don’t you understand that you’ve stolen my heart? Since you were lost at sea five years ago, I’ve spent every day every minute, every second, in endless longing for you I could only find solace in your photographs, using alcohol to numb the pain. Without you, everything feels so cold and lonely How many more five years do I have to wait?

“No, it’s over it ended the moment I was lost at sea Can’t we just be strangers who once knew each other top well? Isn’t that enough?

Natalia knew there was no going back. Nothing could return to how it was five years ago unless their child could be brought back to life However Magnus never intended to inform her about the baby yet. It was his last card to play, and he couldn’t reveal it yet.

As Magnus closed in on her, Natalia was forced to retreat further until her back hit the cold wall

His gaze was soft and tender, as he backed Natalia into a corner His voice was husky with emotion My dear what are we to do? I can’t let you go, and I ca become a stranger to you. You’re my wife, now and forever. Let’s put our past misunderstandings behind us and start anew, okay?

For a moment, Natalia found herself almost lost in Magnus intense, affectionate gaze, but she quickly snapped out of it No, she couldn’t entertain any illusions about Magnus Hadn’t the heart–wrenching past taught her anything? She couldn’t afford to make the same mistake again after a brush with death

Magnus noticed the hesitation in Natalia’s eyes. Leaning against the wall, he moved closer to Natalia, reaching out to caress her face. He whispered into her ear his breath warm against her skin “My dear, these past five years without you have been like an eternal darkness. Isn’t that punishment enough? Can you bear to watch me suffer and die?”

His minty, fresh breath lingered in Natalia’s nostrils, causing her cheeks to flush with heat. Natalia pinched herself, mentally scolding her wes Magnus bewitch her again. She couldn’t let herself experience that heart–wrenching pain again.

She couldn’t

Seeing Natalia’s flushed face Magnus felt a sweetness spread through his heart. He knew her every sensitive spot, this shy woman was his sweet porson

His desire for Natalia was becoming unbearable, so he leaned down without a second thought and accurately captured her lips. The kiss was passionate and intense, leaving no room for rejection

Natalia pushed him away immediately

No, let go, get away! With all her strength, Natalia managed to push Magnus away slightly

Magnus blinked and came back like a sticky candy “No. He murmured. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Natalia could feel her face burning up and her blood rushing to her head. She was furious with Magnus for making advances at her. She remembered that was waiting for her downstairs, and yet she was up here, kissing this man.

Without thinking, Natalia slapped Magnus across the face, leaving a clear handprint on his cheek. She regretted it instantly She knew Magnus arogant nature and

But Magnus was tall and imposing, and quickly blocked her way and closed the office door behind him. His face was dark and menacing, and his dark eyes appeared to be filled with murderous intent

He stared at Natalia like a demon emerging from the darkness. His gaze was fierce. “Say that again What are you doing tomorrow?

Natalia felt an invisible pressure, but she refused to back down. She took two steps back, trying to escape from Magnus chilling aura. Callum tomorrow From now on please don’t interfere with my life!”

“No Magnus snarled, his teeth grinding in frustration it wasn’t the slap Natalia had delivered him that bothered ham, but the fact that she kept inwaling – marrying someone else
