The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 133

Magnus legs had failed him, and in a moment of despair, he suggested he and Isabella part ways. However, Isabella refused to leave his side, a gesture that touched Magnus deeply and gave him hope for the future.

Half a year later, when doctors informed him that he would never walk again, Isabella quieted down, and her once vibrant spirit seemed to wane. Magnus knew their relationship was reaching its end.

He asked his grandfather, Morgan, if he could recuperate on Sapphire Island, perhaps for the rest of his life. Morgan agreed, even going so far as to give Magnus forty percent of the shares in Andersen Corporation

Upon hearing this, Isabella insisted on going to Sapphire Island to care for Magnus. She still held hope that Magnus wouldn’t go. Yet, this was a decision made by Andersen Corporation, and she had no power to change it.

Once on Sapphire Island, Isabella took care of Magnus meticulously, but as the sun set each day, she’d stare blankly at the horizon and fall deeper into

silence

Magnus realized she was growing lonely. He contacted Dr. Frankie in France and left for treatment. As he departed, he reassured Isabella, “Wait for me. I’ll be back.”

But Isabella didn’t wait Instead, she left Sapphire Island for the United States.

After Magnus leg had healed, he immediately went home to see Isabella, but he never saw her again, nor did she leave a single word. From then on, he harbored a deep resentment towards women and completely avoided any interaction with them. With the help of James and Chase Carter, he established a prominent corporation in France with branches across the country Yet, Isabella remained a hurdle in his heart.

Recalling the bitter memories from the past, Magnus immediately rushed out, searching everywhere for the woman he had just saw, but he couldn’t find her For a whole day, Magnus was lost in thought, even forgetting to give Natalia her driving lesson

‘Magnus, what’s wrong? Natalia asked with concern as they lay in bed.

“Nothing, let’s sleep. Magnus replied, turning away He couldn’t possibly tell Natalia about seeing isabella. His wife had a fiery temper when upset Natalia was left puzzled by his behavior.
