"Thank you for your efforts, goodbye!" Natalia forced the words through clenched teeth. "I can continue
working at Orange Horizon, but please, Mr. Andersen, respect yourself. As of tomorrow, I'll be someone
else's fiancée. I hope you won't do anything that damages the company's image."
"Ha, you think I'd just stand by and watch you get engaged to that Brit? My dear wife, you don’t seem
to know me very well." Magnus' face was graced with a smile that felt like a spring breeze, but there
was an underlying coldness that sent chills down her spine. As he undid his tie and approached
Natalia, the air in the room seemed to freeze.
Natalia cautiously moved towards the door as the previous scene flashed before her eyes. She needed
to escape this room.
"My dear wife, I've been too lenient with you. You seem to think you can leave me whenever you want.
Let me tell you, you won't escape from my side, not even for a second." Magnus removed his suit
jacket and casually tossed it onto his desk as he advanced towards Natalia.
She quickly unlocked the door, but Magnus pulled her back into his embrace before she could open it
fully.
Feeling her softness against him, Magnus couldn't help but inhale deeply. Only his dear wife had this
intoxicating scent.
Noticing Magnus sniffing her hair, Natalia felt herself stiffen. "Mr. Andersen, please show me some
respect."
"Ha, my dear wife, you certainly know how to test my patience. I wonder what's so disrespectful about
being affectionate with my wife."
As soon as Magnus finished speaking, Natalia broke free from his embrace. But before she could take
two steps, she found herself back in his arms.
Feeling dizzy, Natalia was once again held tightly by Magnus, who showered her with soft kisses. Her
delicate wrists were trapped by Magnus, and her hands were forced to rest against his crotch. Even
through his trousers, she could feel his arousal.
"Magnus, you're a jerk."
"Right, since you're calling me a jerk, I might as well live up to the title! You are driving me insane!"
Magnus' desire, which he had barely managed to suppress, erupted at the touch of Natalia. If hatred
could keep her by his side, then he was willing to be hated.
But once he had her in his arms again, he didn't want to let her go. He wanted to express his pent-up
desires freely, to make the emptiness of the past five years real!
Even if it meant going to hell afterward, he didn't care.
Just then, the office door was kicked open, and Callum stormed in, his face grim. Seeing Magnus
pushing Natalia onto the couch, he was filled with rage. He grabbed Magnus by the collar and punched
him. "Magnus, you bastard!"
Callum's punch was strong, pushing Magnus back a few steps.
"Cal!" Natalia was startled by Callum's sudden appearance. She didn't expect him to witness her in
such a vulnerable state.
Callum scooped Natalia into his arms. "Let's go."
He had been waiting in the car for Natalia, but when she didn't appear, he decided to go in. Luckily, he
arrived in time to stop Magnus from taking advantage of Natalia.
Magnus wiped the blood from his lip and growled, "Stop! Do you think you can come and go as you
please here? Is this place some kind of convenience store to you?"
Magnus stood up, grabbed Callum's hand, and pulled Natalia back into his arms. "She's my woman. It's
not your place to take her away!" He bellowed. "Security! What am I paying you for? Letting this guy
in!"
The security guards immediately rushed in and started pulling Callum away.
Callum turned back to face Magnus, and his eyes were filled with disdain. "Magnus, you disgust me! I
welcome a fair competition for Natalia, but I will not tolerate anyone who disrespects her!"
Magnus felt embarrassed, realizing he had been forcing Natalia. He had been too impulsive, and his
longing for Natalia over the years overpowered his rational thoughts. If Callum hadn't arrived in time, he This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
might have taken Natalia right there and then.
"My dear wife, I... I'm sorry." Magnus awkwardly apologized, fearing Natalia would never speak to him
again. He held her tightly, terrified she would leave him again.
And things were heading in the direction he feared. Seeing the security guards pulling Callum away,
Natalia's gaze towards Magnus was filled with estrangement. "Magnus, I’m just your subordinate, and I
don't know you well. Please, don't call me your wife again. I'm not!"
Turning to Callum, she said, "Cal, let's go now!"
She needed to leave immediately, to get away from this dangerous man. If she didn't leave now, she
feared her defenses would crumble.
Magnus was like a demon from hell, wanting to possess her completely. His possessiveness was too
strong. Five years had passed, and all she wanted was to forget the unpleasant past and live a
peaceful life. She also didn't want to continue owing Callum.
"Okay, let's go." Callum glared at Magnus and then walked out with Natalia.
This was England, not Melfort, where Magnus could rule unchallenged. Callum didn't give a damn
about Orange Horizon!
Magnus watched Callum leave with Natalia and furiously punched his desk. The loud noise echoed
around the room, and blood slowly dripped onto the floor from his fingers.
He could match wits with Callum, but he couldn't stand being looked down upon by Natalia.
He was filled with regret now. Callum had ruined what was supposed to be a joyous reunion.
Magnus strode towards the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the crowd below. His eyes were turbulent
with emotion.
Callum, who had just stepped out of the door, heard a thunderous noise from inside the room. He
stopped abruptly and turned back. "Magnus, I dislike you, but I'm still inviting you to my engagement
party with Natalia tomorrow."
With that, Callum left, taking Natalia with him in a stylish exit.
The descending elevator doors slowly closed. Callum heard the sound of furniture being smashed in
the CEO's office, and a smirk had spread across his face.
Yes, Magnus had heard him, and he was furious to the point of wanting to kill! His eyes sparkled with a
bloodthirsty grin. Ha! An engagement party? Callum was asking for trouble!
