The Imposter Bride by Sallie Woods

Chapter 259
In any case, she was already a prisoner, and who knew when Callum might just flip his lid and off her. She might as well live it up
while she was here
Lexi was surprised to find her chin getting chubbier despite being confined to her room, where she could indulge in a variety of
gourmet dishes from around the world.
This morning, as she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she felt nothing but contempt for herself. Anyone who knew her
situation would understand that she was being held captive, but others might think she was off living the high life somewhere
A
Her
would her face look so pufty? It was as if it had been inflated! No, she had to rescue herself from this downward spiral and get
out of this godforsaken place!
was plotting her escape, Lex heard footsteps outside the door She quickly tossed the teddy bear she was holding into the air and
rolled off the bed
princess bed, with its dreamy canopy, had a large enough gap underneath to hide an adult.
“Creak”
The door was pushed open, and the sound of footsteps followed Lexi knew it must’ve been fita, leading the maids to deliver her
food
Sure enough, Rita’s professional voice filled the room ‘Ms. Lexi, today’s delicacy is from Paraguay
Before Rita could finish, she noticed that Lexi was nowhere to be found. She stopped speaking, knocked on the bathroom door,
and called out softly. “Ms. Lex, Ms Lent
After a moment of silence when Lexi did not respond, Rita pushed the door open in a panic ‘Oh dear, where has Ms Lexi gone?
Lex lay under the bed, holding her breath, watching as Rita quickly led the maids out. She waited a moment until she was sure
they were far enough away before crawling out from under the bed

“What are you doing?”
A voice suddenly echoed from above. Lexi looked up in surprise to see Callum standing in the doorway, and she was caught in
the act of crawling out from under the bed
Lex was instantly flustered “Um, I was looking for something”
Callum gave Lexi a cold look, seemingly aware of her intentions but not calling her out “I heard you’ve been behaving lately.
That’s good, a smart choice” Callum left her with these words, then strutted out of the room.
Lexi watched Callumi’s departing back, wishing she could kick him over Enough! What does he mean by ‘smart choice?
Absolutely infuriating!”
For some reason, Lex always felt a bit powerless whenever she faced Callum. She knew she hadn’t done anything wrong, so
why did she always feel like she was beneath him?
As Lexi was questioning where her courage had gone, Rita rushed back in with the maids Seeing Lexi sitting properly on the
bed, Rita was thoroughly impressed with Callum’s prediction that Ms. Lexi hadn’t disappeared for no reason and was indeed still
in the room.
“Ms Lexi, we’ve brought your meal. This is a special crab dish from Paraguay, it’s incredibly flavorful and is said to have beauty
and weight loss benefits.”
Lexis attention had already been captured by the food the maids were carrying. She took a deep breath- it smelled heavenly!
However, she kept her cool facade, pointing to a table and saying “Put it there for now”
Once Rita left. Lexi uncovered the exquisite dishes and saw the succulent king crab inside. All thoughts of escape were quickly
forgotten
As the holiday season approached Magnus took Natalia and Jonas back to Melfort. Upon landing, Magnus was extremely
excited on the drive home because he had at last successfully brought his wife back home
The driver was in the front and Magnus sat with Natalia and Jonas in the back seat.
Looking at Natalia, who was silently staring out the window Magnus grabbed her hand. “Are you nervous, honey?”

“No“Natalia shook her head, then nodded after a moment “Maybe, a little homesick perhaps. It’s been a long time since I’ve been
here.”
“Don’t worry, honey, we te going home, not to a battleground. And remember, you’re the lady of the house, so you call the shots.
Don’t worry about anything else.
As soon as Magnus finished, Jonas, who had been leaning on Natalia, chimed in. “Yes, Mommy. I’ll always protect you”
Natalia gave a small smile “Okay, I’m not afraid anymore. You will protect me
“Honey, why are you ignoring me? i can protect you, too, Magnus said feeling a bit neglected.
Natalia glanced at Magnus is that so? Here’s a look, interpret it as you will
Magnus immediately fell silent, reflecting on Natalia’s words it seemed his wife still didn’t trust him completely. Indeed, he was
partly to blame for what happened to Natalia in the past if he hadn’t been negligent those jealous women wouldn’t have been
able to hurt her
But just wait, this time, he swore, he wouldn’t let her experience the same pain she felt five years ago
As they drove towards their mansion the streets were bustling Jonas playfully rolled down the window at a red light and gazed
outside.
Natalia sat quietly in the car and all of Magnus attention was on her Neither of them noticed the resentful gaze locked onto them
from another vehicle.
The light turned green, and their car smoothly crossed the intersection Befund them, a red convertible followed.
The driver was Addison, who was glaring resentfully at the car she had accidentally spotted wishing she had a gun to blow them
all to amithereena.
Five years ago. Addison’s daughter Kendra had mysteriously disappeared causing Addison and Kyler to spend a lot of resources
to track her down. They eventually found Kendra imprisoned in an underground gambling den
Witnessing her daughter being tormented by those despicable men, Addison was seething with rage Although she had no
tangible proof, she was sure that her obert daughter would never antagonize anyone willingly. The only person capable of
executing such a heinous act and leaving no trace was Magnus, the man who practicaly owned Melfort

Magnus must have done this to avenge Natalia That damn girl, even in death, she managed to cause such havoc She surely
didit suffer enought
Addison, along with Kyter immediately set out to redeem Kendra. They spent millions, but they had no other choice. The casino
claimed that Kendia had accumulated a massive debt she couldn’t repay, which forced her to sell herself to cover it
