The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 49

Magnus took the elevator down to the ground floor of the Andersen Tower, where his butler Linden immediately wheeled him towards the parking lot. As he smoothly glided out of the building, a woman stood frozen by the stone pillars. Her gaze was fixated on the man seated in the wheelchair. He was even more striking in person than in photographs.

Dressed in a sleek black suit, his long legs were resting on the footrest of the wheelchair, and his handsome face was marked by a pair of dark, impassive eyes. He exuded an air of exclusivity, yet there was something about him that was irresistibly intriguing. Despite being wheelchair–bound, he carried an aura of regal authority.

He smoothly transitioned into a Rolls–Royce Phantom, and Linden closed the car door behind him. The car pulled away slowly. The woman, Kendra, promptly hailed a taxi and trailed behind Magnus‘ car. Linden, noticing the car tailing them, immediately heightened his alertness. “Sir, we’re being followed,” he warned.

Magnus, with his eyes closed, responded nonchalantly, “Let them follow. It’s not a problem. Let’s just head home.”

As they arrived at Maplewood Manor, Kendra got out of her taxi and approached the gatekeeper. But she was immediately stopped by the security guard. “Miss, this is a private

residence. You’re not allowed to enter.”

Kendra glared at the guard. “I came here with Mr. Andersen.”

“That’s impossible. Mr. Andersen’s car just went in. If you know him, why didn’t you ride with him? I’m sorry. You can’t enter.” The guard blocked her path.

Frustrated, Kendra raised her voice. “Open your eyes, I’m Magnus‘ wife!”

The guard was taken aback. “How can you possibly be Mr. Magnus‘ wife? His wife is at

home. We’ve all seen her.”
