Chapter 127
"Those two fools, they're just children playing adults. The best strategy right now is to avoid ruffling
their feathers. Once we know where my wife is, we can nab them all in one fell swoop."
"Alright, I got it. I'll get in touch with the security team. Have them tail you."
Watching Lucius get under control, Magnus couldn't help but smirk, his plan had worked perfectly. "You
think you can challenge me? You're digging your own grave." He moved his wheelchair closer, slapping
Lucius' contorted face, "You are so damn stupid."
Biting his teeth in anger, Lucius stared at the man in the wheelchair. He wished he could rip him apart.
"Don't worry Nat, I'm coimg." Magnus turned and entered the rundown factory.
As he pushed open the broken door, it wasn't Nat's face that met his eyes, but Kendra's.
Magnus' presence sent a shock through Kendra. This was bad, Lucius had screwed up.
Magnus looked at the foolish woman before him, his dark eyes glinting ominously. "Where's Nat?
Where is she?" Magnus asked, his disdain for Kendra clear in his eyes.
"She's right behind me." Kendra replied coldly, her smirk intact even in defeat. She wouldn't let Nat get
away that easily.
Magnus followed her gaze to see Nat, hanging high from the steel beam of the ceiling, unconscious
and deathly pale.
"Darling!" Magnus shouted, his voice echoing in the empty factory.
Hearing his voice, Nat slowly opened her eyes, a weak smile appearing on her face at the sight of the
man in the wheelchair. "Magnus." She managed to whisper, his name carrying all the weight in her
world.
"How about it, cripple? If you have the ability, save her yourself. You've treated me like this before, and
now it's Nat's turn to taste the bitterness I've suffered." Kendra roared, her face twisted in rage and
vindictiveness.
She tightly gripped the rope in her hand, ready to let Nat fall from the height at any moment.
Magnus saw her intentions clearly, but instead of panicking, he felt an anger rise within him. He stared
at her, his eyes cold and determined as he slowly stood up from his wheelchair.
"You... you can stand?" Kendra gasped, staring at the scene unfolding before her in disbelief.
Magnus stood tall, taking steady steps towards Kendra, his presence commanding and godlike.
Kendra was stunned, forgetting about her vengeance on Nat as she watched the man approach her.
His cold demeanor like a demon from hell, yet captivatingly irresistible.
Nat too, was shocked. She watched as Magnus stood up from his wheelchair, forgetting about the
dangerous height she was dangling from.
He really stood up. He was standing. A weak smile appeared on her face.
"I told you, anyone who touches my woman will die." Magnus approached Kendra, pulling her up by her
hair and throwing her to the side.
"You should be thankful that you're a woman. I'll spare your life." Magnus said, pulling the rope and
slowly lowering Nat to the ground.
Once Nat was safely by his side, he scooped her up in his arms, holding her as if she was his entire
world. He was terrified of what could've happened to her.
"It's okay, don't be afraid. Darling, I'm here. I’m sorry..."
But the woman in his arms had already passed out, exhausted from the hours of torture and fear. He
held her close, stepping out of the factory and heading towards the hospital.
After two days of unconsciousness, Nat finally woke up. During this time, Magnus never left her side,
not eating or drinking.
"Magnus." Nat croaked weakly, her voice barely a whisper.
Hearing her voice, Magnus' bloodshot eyes shot open, he held her hand tightly in his. "I'm here, I'm
right here. Baby."
"...water... water..."
Magnus quickly fetched her some water, carefully feeding it to her.
Finally, after two days, she was conscious again. She looked at the man bustling around her, a
comforting smile appearing on her lips.
"Darling, you're awake." Magnus' voice, hoarse from worry and lack of sleep, reached Nat's ears. His
face filled with relief and joy.
"I..." Nat coughed, her throat felt like it was on fire, her head throbbing with pain. Her wrists ached too.
As she tried to recall what happened before she passed out, all she remembered was being hung from
a high steel beam by Lucius. It was cold and Kendra was there too. Then Magnus arrived, he stood up
from his wheelchair.
Did he really stand up? Yes! He did!
But how? Wasn't he disabled? Was he lying to her all this time?
Fighting the intense headache, Nat stared at the man before her with suspicion.
"What's wrong Nat? Are you hungry? You haven't eaten in days, I'll get Linden to make something.
What would you like, darling?" Magnus got up and left the room, oblivious to the intense gaze Nat was C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
giving him.
"Magnus." Nat called out, her voice filled with disbelief.
"What is it? Do you want something specific to eat? Just tell me, I'll have Linden make it."
Magnus' nonchalant response only served to irk Nat further. He could stand up, yet he lied to her.
"Aren't you going to explain about your legs?" Nat asked, her voice cold and distant.
It was then that Magnus noticed something was amiss. He immediately moved closer to Nat, taking her
hand in his. "Listen, Nat, I have my reasons."
"Reasons? What reasons?" Natalia cut Magnus off abruptly. Her voice was still raspy, tinged with a
sense of betrayal. "It's not something you should be so secretive about, talking about reasons. And
even so, why would you keep this from me? Do you think our relationship is not strong enough to
handle this? All this time, what have you considered me to be?" Natalia felt as though she had been
physically and emotionally wounded, and she couldn't help but dissolve into tears.
Seeing Natalia raise her voice at him for the first time, her tears falling like pearls from a broken
necklace, Magnus felt a pang in his heart.
"Darling, I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean to hide it from you. I wanted to tell you multiple times. Remember
those times after making love, when I held you as we showered together, didn't you sense anything?"
