The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 173

To ensure Natalia had good nights of sleep, Magnus moved to sleep in his study.

Natalia smiled in silence. Her hand was placed on her belly, as she fought the internal pain and

reminded herself to stay strong.

At eight months pregnant, Natalia was hit by a series of unfortunate events in the dark month of June.

Fate had finally separated her from Magnus.

It was a separation like death itself!

At the Golden Groove, in a hidden VIP lounge, Kendra and Lucius were entangled like two people high

on drugs, indulging in primal pleasures.

“Lucius, you're amazing…”

“Baby, I can be even better…” Lucius panted. All his attention was focused on Kendra beneath him.

“Do you like it, darling, should we change positions?”

“You're such a tease…” Kendra feigned shyness and turned her head, sneaking a glance at the hidden

camera she had installed in the corner of the lounge. Her red lips curled into a triumphant smirk.

She didn't lure Lucius to the Golden Groove for some mere thrill. If that was the case, any penthouse

suite would have sufficed. She was here to record their passionate encounter and then send it to

Natalia after some editing. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Rumor had it that Natalia was several months pregnant and Kendra figured a good shock was just what

she needed. Anything that could drive Natalia to the brink would be fantastic. It would save Kendra the

trouble of dealing with Natalia once the baby was born.

Lucius was engrossed in his carnal pursuits. He noticed Kendra was distracted and forcefully turned

her face towards him, biting her lips hard. “What's distracting you? Focus!”

Lucius was a wild beast in bed, with little regard for boundaries. He bit Kendra's lips until they bled yet

showed no signs of remorse. His movements grew rougher, ravishing Kendra without restraint.

“Darling, I can never get enough of you.”

Kendra pretended to be docile, clinging onto Lucius. She was well aware of Lucius' wild tendencies in

bed, and she was desperate to escape his clutches.

‘Natalia, you better be gone, stop claiming Magnus as your own, and give me back my rightful place as

the wife of the CEO!’

Filled with resentment, Kendra had to keep her emotions in check. To avoid suspicion, she made an

effort to respond to Lucius' actions. The lounge was filled with heavy breathing, which eventually

subsided after what seemed like an eternity.

Lucius was still feeling unsatisfied, pulled his trousers back on. His eyes were filled with lust as they

scanned Kendra's bare chest. “This place is a lot more exciting than any penthouse suite. You really

are something, thinking of such a great place.”

Kendra was pretending to be shy and blushed at his compliment. “Not at all. I just wanted to make you

happy. Don't exaggerate. You make it sound like I'm some kind of expert.”

Lucius, now fully dressed, seemed less enthusiastic. “Whether you're an expert or not, you know the

truth. Even a whore could learn a few tricks from you.”

Kendra, also dressed, was taken aback by Lucius' words. She had never expected him to say

something like that!

“Lucius, you jerk!” Kendra grabbed her stockings and threw them at Lucius in frustration.

Lucius caught the stockings with a swift move and took a dramatic sniff. “It's no big deal. If I'm a jerk,

then you're a slut. We're a perfect match.”

Kendra was shaking with anger. How dare Lucius call her a slut!

“Get out of here, you've gone too far!” Kendra bent down, pretending to rummage through her

handbag, and quickly grabbed the hidden camera. “Lucius, you're a jerk!”

With that, Kendra stormed out of the lounge, with her high heels clicking against the floor. She couldn't

wait to edit the video and send it to Natalia. Her anger was just a ruse to give herself an excuse to

leave early.

Lucius, however, found the whole thing amusing. He took his time to straighten his clothes before

leaving the lounge. The experience had been thrilling, and he was already planning to convince Kendra

to meet at such public places more often. It was far more exciting than he had imagined. As for

Kendra's outburst, Lucius didn't take it to heart. He knew Kendra all too well. If she was angry, all he

needed to do was spoil her with gifts and she would be all smiles again.

Women were just bed companions. If he liked one, he spent more time with her; if not, he moved on.

As of now, he rather liked Kendra.

Meanwhile, Kendra, feigning anger, stormed out of the Golden Groove and headed straight to a private

detective agency.

The receptionist saw Kendra elegantly dressed and immediately greeted her, “How may I assist you,

miss?”

Kendra looked down at the receptionist. “I need a computer expert. I have a video that needs to be

edited. It needs to be flawless, and untraceable. Can you do that?”

The receptionist saw a potential big client and was eager to please Kendra. “You've come to the right

place, miss. We specialize in tracking, searching, and manipulating images and videos. If you want it,

we can make it happen. However…”

“The price is high, right?” Kendra scoffed. “Money is no issue. Call your most expensive guy. I need the

best service.”

The receptionist hurriedly called the operations manager, deciding it was best to keep her distance

from such a demanding customer.

The operations manager was a shrewd man, with a rather sleazy appearance. As soon as he saw

Kendra, his eyes lit up and he scurried over to her. “What can I do for you, miss?”

Kendra frowned, clearly annoyed. “Are you professionals or not? If you can't do it, I'll find someone

else. Repeating the same question is unprofessional!”

Having seen his fair share of finicky clients, the operations manager greeted her with a practiced, warm

smile. "Miss, don't be upset. Please follow me."

He led Kendra to a private room, attentively closing the door behind them. "Miss, please share your

request. As long as you're willing to pay the right price, there's nothing we can't do."

"Really?" Kendra quirked an eyebrow, suddenly feeling out of place. "What if I asked you to kill

someone for me?"

The account manager's smile froze on his face. "Miss, we might operate in the gray areas of the law,

but we certainly don't break it!"

The atmosphere in the room immediately thickened. Kendra studied the account manager for a

moment, then burst into exaggerated laughter. "HA! I was only joking. The task is simple, really. I just

need you to take the man in this video and edit it to look like another man."
