The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 7

The sound of running water caught Natalia’s attention. Could there be a bathroom in there?

What a peculiar man, she thought, to have a bathroom inside his study She was here to look after him, so she walked over and pulled open the glass door

Sure enough, it was a bathroom Natalia looked up to see steam filling the space Through the misty heat, she saw a man sitting in the bathtub, his head under a shower of hot water Countless droplets fell from his dark hair, running down his broad shoulders, onto his muscular back, and then to the tub, causing a splash. There was a wet wheelchair nearby.

The moment she opened the door, the man looked up sharply His dark eyes flashed a blade like chill. He glared at the stunned Natalia standing at the door. “Who let you in? Get out!” His voice was deep and icy, filled with anger and arrogance

Natalia lifted her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly “Well they sent me in to take care of you,” she said, preparing to turn off the shower

“Get out!” The icy voice echoed once again in the steam–filled bathroom, full of rage and on the brink of explosion.

Under his fierce anger, Natalia had no choice but to leave the bathroom and close the door

The man in the tub leaped up, quickly grabbed a bathrobe and jumped onto the wheelchair. The whole process took less than five seconds

Just as Natalia heard the sound of the man getting up, the glass door was already being opened. A man, neatly dressed in a bathrobe, sat in the wheelchair In just three seconds, he had rolled up to her His hand fiercely gripped her throat, and his enraged expression was like that of a devil ready to tear her apart.

Natalia stared in horror at the ferocious man. She gripped his iron–like hand tightly. “Don’t they sent me in to take care of you”
