Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 43

After speaking, Isadora turned and ran off, tears streaming down her face.

She had to leave; if she stayed another moment, she'd break down right in front of them.

Isadora still remembered how her wrist was supposed to heal in a week, but after that collision, it was fractured and took two full months to mend.

In the end, it was Richard who took her to apologize to Magnus.

Back then, her love for Magnus was so all-consuming that she had no self-respect left-she'd humbled herself to the point of utter submission.

Even though Magnus's distrust and accusations had left her heartbroken, what she feared most was that Magnus would get angry and abandon her.

So, when Richard offered to take her to Magnus to smooth things over, to give them both a way out, Isadora agreed without hesitation. Naively, she followed Richard, trailing behind him like a lost child.

Richard did most of the talking, apologizing on her behalf, painting her as the immature one, and asking Magnus to forgive her little outburst.

Magnus shot a glance at Isadora, who stood silently by the side.

His face betrayed nothing. "Come here," he said.
