The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 366

When Callum saw Lexi's cheeks puff up in frustration, he couldn't help but pull her into his embrace,

whispering in her ear, "You getting jealous? That's adorable."

"Ugh! As if!" Lexi's face flushed as she retorted, "You jerk, let go of me. You can go flirting all you want,

so why can't I? Let go, I need a drink, and I'm gonna snag me some hotties!" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

But Callum was unmoved by Lexi's protests. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her right out of

the bar. "Alright, go ahead and try to catch me. I'm all yours."

"You're shameless and despicable. Let me go!" Lexi's voice faded into the distance as Callum forcibly

took her away from the bar scene.

Meanwhile, Magnus never once turned to look at the squabble between Lexi and Callum; he just kept

his head down, continuing to drown his sorrows with shots of whiskey, numbing his soul that ached to

its core.

Hawaii

After months of preparation, the NH International brand, spearheaded by Natalia and Hector, officially

launched and took the market by storm. Thanks to its fresh, simple designs that steered clear of

clichés, it quickly captivated the high-end market consumers.

With fashion influencers showcasing the brand, this sweet trend swept through the fashion circles like a

whirlwind, sparking a buying frenzy that left the stock in short supply.

As NH International rose to prominence, the media shifted their focus to Natalia, the designer behind

the brand. After numerous patient negotiations with the fashion magazine, Natalia agreed to an

interview to better promote her products. She carved out time for a photo shoot and revealed plans for

an upcoming summer fashion contest.

Natalia, dressed in her own designs, showcased her stunning figure so perfectly that it took one's

breath away. She looked like a celestial being that had descended to Earth, not bound by worldly

sustenance. Her regal aura and confident demeanor instantly attracted legions of fans in Hawaii.

No one could have imagined that such a heavenly and star-like beauty would be the mastermind

designer behind NH International. For a time, even the fashion magazine featuring her photographs

struggled to meet the demand.

On the magazine's pages, bold headlines declared. [New Fashion Mogul Natalia - Set to Host Summer

Fashion Contest Mid-Month.]

With the help of her growing fanbase, Natalia's fame spread like wildfire across the globe even before

the contest began.

Hector was over the moon with Natalia's remarkable achievements. He always knew that someone as

kind-hearted as her had the talent to succeed. She had worked tirelessly on her designs, burning the

midnight oil. But the fruits of her labor were sweet, and the accolades were the best acknowledgment

of her dedicated efforts!

With her newfound confidence, Natalia no longer hesitated in her steps. She walked with a brisk,

decisive stride, having transformed into a powerful and assertive businesswoman.

In the hazy night at James' upscale bar, Magnus lay sprawled at the counter as usual, knocking back

bitter spirits. He wasn't without other places to drink, but the noisy crowd in the bar made him feel less

alone, less like a numb, walking corpse.

James watched Magnus with a sense of helplessness, unsure how to reach him. Only Natalia's return,

he thought, could pull Magnus back from his abyss.

But where on Earth was Natalia hiding?

Sighing to himself, James was about to walk away when one of his guys came rushing over, clutching

something that looked like a book.

"Boss, I’ve got news! Look at this!" The guy pulled out what he had been clutching, a foreign fashion

magazine, and thrust it into James' arms.

James took the magazine and immediately saw Natalia's charming face on the cover. "Damn, it really is

her!" James' eyes lit up, and he playfully kicked the messenger. “You’ve struck gold this time, wait for

Magnus’ reward!”

Without another word, James strode over to Magnus and slapped the magazine down in front of him.

Magnus, mid-drink, was startled by the sudden appearance of the book. As he looked down, he saw

his wife’s exquisite face on the magazine’s title page. Her beauty, the one he yearned for in his dreams,

had tormented him for so long.

But now, before him, she was a shining new star, captivating, brilliant, and irreplaceable. This was his

wife and the woman he deeply loved. The most important woman in his life.

Magnus slowly pushed himself up to his feet, reminiscent of a fish out of water finally finding its way

back to the stream. The feeling of being at death's door was flung far away, as he embraced the

rejuvenation of a new beginning.

"Magnus, it's fantastic news. We've finally located Natalia!" James struggled to keep his emotions in

check, but his voice still broke with emotion.
