Chapter 67

Just moments ago, Natalia had been blushing and overjoyed by the intimate gestures he’d bestowed upon her. Now, she was a bundle of nerves.

Magnus was, after all, an incredibly dangerous man. Natalia truly worried for her father’s well–being.

As she was about to voice her concern, Magnus, noticing her anxiety, furrowed his brows and silenced her with a hand over her lips. He looked her straight in the eye and said, “Why are you so nervous? Even for your sake, I wouldn’t harm your father. I brought him here to settle the matter of my divorce from Kendra. I told you I would give you a marriage license, and I will. I don’t want to hear anything about Kendra and me coming from your lips anymore”

The mere thought of that night, Kendra, drunk as a skunk, slurring her words, made Magnus sick to his stomach. He was grateful Kendra hadn’t been shipped off to Sapphire Island if she had been, he probably wouldn’t have lasted three days before wringing her neck.

“You you’re serious? You’re really divorcing Kendra? Magnus‘ determination took Natalia aback.

Unsure if she could actually remain by his side, Natalia was at a loss for words. Sometimes, Natalia found it hard to decipher what was going on in Magnus mind. He didn’t want her to leave and promised her commitment Was it because he was reluctant to let her go, or did he harbor a hint of affection for her?

The mere thought startled Natalia. She scolded herself, “What am I thinking? Magnus was supposed to marry Kendra. If he did fall for someone, it should’ve been Kendra. Even if he no longer loves her, he wouldn’t fall for me.”
