The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 320

Lexi was gasping for breath through her tears as she followed Natalia away from the bustling harbor walkway, settling down in a crowded spot.

“Okay. Lexi, stop crying and tell me what’s going on. Why do you look so distressed?” Natalia asked, her voice filled with worry.

“Natalia, can I get something to eat first? Lexi asked hesitantly. She was pregnant and couldn’t handle being hungry. But she didn’t have a penny in her pocket. Callum held all her identification documents.

“Sure, what do you want to eat? I’ll take you somewhere.” Natalia responded, helping Lexi up and leading her to a cafe by the harbor.

They found a private booth and ordered some food. After Lexi had gobbled down her meal, Natalia softly asked, “Lexi, what’s going on? I’ve been looking for you for a while but haven’t heard from you. I even visited your parents, but they said you hadn’t returned from overseas.”

Lexi swallowed her last bite, finally feeling full. As Natalia asked about her situation, tears welled up in her eyes. “Natalia, I was held captive. It’s

true”

“What?” Natalia could hardly believe her ears. “Where were you held captive? Who did this to you?”

Lexi shook her head. Despite the constraints Callum put on her, she didn’t want to expose him. She sighed deeply, “Natalia, I was out in England, just wandering around, and suddenly someone took me captive. I don’t know who it was. Then, after a lot of struggle, I managed to escape.”
