The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 168

With a sudden burst of tears, she clutched her belly as a sharp pain shot through her. She quickly focused her attention elsewhere. “I’m sorry, baby. Mommy shouldn’t be crying. You have to be good, okay?”

Natalia held her belly, trying to clear her mind and forget about the photograph. She gently turned off her phone, closed her eyes, and settled into the chair on the balcony.

In the middle of the night, Magnus returned to Sapphire Island, a shadow of his usually vibrant self. He walked into the bedroom, only to find it neatly made and empty. His heart lurched. Where was she?

Immediately, he went to the study, pushing the door open.

Bathed in moonlight, he saw her lying on the small bed in the study. She looked like a small, abandoned kitten, lying on her side with her hands resting on her belly

Magnus watched her silently. The lingering effects of the drug, which hadn’t completely worn off, suddenly flared up again. He bent down and kissed her lips. He tasted her sweetness and pulled her into his arms to savor her unique sweetness. Her scent was his ultimate weakness. Dammit, he wanted her She was already more than five months pregnant. If he was gentle, it would’ve been alright. As he thought this, Magnus continued to kiss her

Natalia woke to him kissing her and immediately remembered that he had kissed Isabella not long ago. She quickly pushed him away, feeling a wave of nausea. She rushed into the bathroom and started throwing up.

Magnus watched as she retched. His handsome face grew darker and darker. She disliked him so much that just kissing her would make her throw up like that?

When he saw Natalia emptying her stomach, he got up and silently went to pat her back. Natalia turned around and coldly pushed his hand away “What’s the matter, Magnus? Didn’t you get enough of kissing Isabella tonight? Now you want to kiss me, a pregnant woman?” She said, her voice sounding icy far the first time.
