The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 264

Kyler nodded repeatedly, following the doctor towards the exit. "Thank you, doctor. Let me walk you

out."

Unsuspecting, the doctor walked ahead towards the front door. As they neared the entrance, Kyler

grabbed a sledgehammer he'd hidden behind the door and swung it with all his might at the back of the

doctor's head.

Crack! Thud!

The doctor hit the floor with a dull thud. Kyler wiped the bloody sledgehammer on his pants, muttering,

"Only the dead can keep secrets. It's not my fault. You just had bad luck."

Addison, who had covered Kendra's eyes, reproached Kyler. "Are you out of your mind? Why do this in

front of our daughter? And now the house is a bloody mess, disgusting! Clean this up right now!"

Kyler didn't respond but dragged the doctor's body towards the basement.

Meanwhile, in Melfort, Natalia was finally settling in.

It was the town she'd grown up in, and once she'd gotten past her initial unease, she managed to relax

a bit, especially after learning that Morgan wouldn't bother her anymore.

After all, Morgan was Magnus' grandfather, and Natalia knew that Morgan had never liked her. She

didn't expect to gain Morgan's approval; she just hoped he wouldn't make things difficult for her.

However, it seemed that over the years, Morgan had clearly stopped targeting her. Whether it's

because Morgan had compromised with Magnus or simply because he had grown old and wanted to

enjoy his family, this outcome was exactly what Natalia desired.

On her third day in Melfort, Natalia packed a small gift basket to visit her old friend, Lexi. It was a day

when Magnus was away at work, and Natalia was glad for the rare moment of peace.

Since leaving that note, Lexi seemed to have disappeared completely. How irresponsible! Natalia

would give Lexi a piece of her mind when she met her.

As she prepared to leave, a small voice stopped her. "Mommy, where are you going?"

Natalia looked down at little Jonas and answered gently, "Oh, I’m going to visit an old friend, sweetie.

I'll be back soon."

Jonas looked up at her with hopeful eyes. "Can I come too, Mommy? I promise I'll be good."

Natalia thought for a moment, then nodded, "Sure, honey. I think Auntie Lexi would be happy to see

you."

As they drove towards Lexi's house in the convertible Magnus had gifted her, Natalia failed to notice

the pair of eyes watching them from a distance.

As she drove, Natalia couldn't shake off the feeling that they were being followed. Jonas, wise beyond

his years, confirmed her suspicions. "Mommy, there's been a car following us since we left the house."

Natalia's heart pounded as she glanced in the rearview mirror and saw a red sports car tailing them

closely.

"Maybe they're just passing through?" She suggested, more to comfort herself than Jonas.

But Jonas was certain. "No, mommy. This car has been following us for a while. I'm sure of it."

Natalia felt a wave of panic wash over her. She was unsure of what to do. If she knew leaving the

house would be this dangerous, she wouldn't have brought Jonas along.

"What do we do, Jonas? What do we do?" She asked, her voice trembling with fear.

As she slowed down, the car behind them sped up, threatening to overtake them.

"Mommy, you can't slow down. If they get in front of us, they'll force us to stop. That's bad," Jonas

warned.

"Okay, okay. I'll speed up," Natalia replied, trying to calm herself as she stepped on the accelerator.

Their car sped away, leaving the red car a little behind. But the driver of the red car wasn't giving up

and sped up to catch them.

The two cars raced down the deserted highway, each trying to outpace the other.

"Oh God, Jonas, they're catching up. What do we do?" Natalia asked, her voice filled with panic. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

She was driving a car she'd sneaked out with, and now they were being chased. She was completely

out of her depth.

"Don't worry, Mom, we'll shake her off!" Jonas encouraged Natalia. "I've already sent a text to Dad. I'm

sure he'll be here soon to help us out."

Upon hearing Jonas' words, Natalia felt as if her brain was failing her. Of course, why hadn't she

thought to alert Magnus?

Perhaps it was the knowledge that Magnus was coming to their rescue, but Natalia felt a sudden calm

descend upon her. Her earlier panic vanished without a trace.

She glanced in the rearview mirror, taking a closer look at the car behind them. To her surprise, she

recognized it.

God, wasn't this the car that Addison used to drive?

Could it be...

Natalia shivered, not daring to complete the thought.
