Chapter 232
Natalia knew Magnus was capable of anything! He had purposely asked her if she was game, gauging
if she was willing to leave with him. If she refused, he’d threaten to bomb Callum’s castle
If a fight broke out because of her, the result would be catastrophic. The weapons at play weren’t just
fists and kicks but large–scale destructive artillery that could cause irreparable harm. This was the
castle that had been in Callum’s family for generations, filled with innocent people. She couldn’t
possibly let Magnus wreak
havoc
So, after much deliberation, she resignedly sighed. “I’ll go with you, just put away those weapons.”
“Great! As you wish!”
“No way!”
Both Magnus and Callum spoke simultaneously. One face lit up with joy, while the other was etched
with deep loss
“Natalia, you can’t go back with him. I don’t fear the fire from his Gatling guns, Callum protested, his
face filled with panic as if terrified Natalia might go with Magnus
Natalia looked at Callum with sympathy “Cal, you’ve already done so much for me over the years, and I
don’t want you to suffer anymore because of me
“How can you call it suffering? Callum shook his head desperately, afraid of losing Natalia. I’ve told you
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmarly times that doing anything for you is my pleasure. how can you think this?”
“Cal, I’ve made up my mind. If he wants me to go with him. I will. Once he realizes I’ve completely
given up on him, he won’t bother you anymore Tears brimmed in Natalia’s eyes She didn’t want to go
with Magnus, but she wanted even less for Callum to be hurt by him.
“No way! I won’t allow it! Natalia, today’s supposed to be our engagement day. How can you, how can
you just leave me like this?” Callum wailed, unwilling to accept Natalia’s impending departure.
In stark contrast to Callum’s devastation, Magnus was elated. As long as Natalia agreed to go with him,
he was confident he could soon make her forgive him He pulled Natalia to his side, exclaiming joyously,
“Darling, you’re really going back with me?”
Natalia gave Magnus a cold look and nodded. “Isn’t this what you wanted? I’ve agreed to go with you.
Now you can withdraw your artillery, right?”
“Of course!” Magnus nodded enthusiastically, turning to James. “Did you hear that? Withdraw the
Gatling guns, as the lady commands”
“Sure, sure, Natalia’s always right. Let’s move, James ordered his men to retreat, and the threatening
Gatling guns were removed from Callum’s castle
Callum was furious and refused to let Natalia and Magnus leave. “No matter the cost, I want Ms.
Clarkson to stay!” He shouted to his mercenaries, who obeyed his
command ruthlessly
Callum’s men listened to his order and prepared for battle, loading their mortars.
“No, Cal, please don’t do this. If a real fight breaks out, many innocent lives will be harmed,” Natalia
pleaded
Callums eyes were bloodshot. “I don’t care about collateral damage! My fiancée is openly getting
kidnapped on our engagement day. I’ll become a laughingstock How will I face others if I can’t keep
you here?”
Natalia knew Callum was in pain, but she had to leave with Magnus in this situation. Violence wouldn’t
solve anything
“Cal, trust me. I’ll be back. I promise Once I convince Magnus, I’ll return to you immediately. Please
trust mel” She assured him, her eyes filled with resolve. She was determined to make Magnus
understand that keeping someone by force couldn’t mend a broken heart
Natalia turned to Magnus. Her eyes were icy, as though she was looking at a stranger “Let’s go.”
“Good The plane will be here soon,” Magnus agreed
Plane? Natalia was taken aback Well, it seemed Magnus had prepared for everything. He had decided,
whether she was willing or not, that he would take her away. Soon, the roar of an airplane engine filled
the air as a small private jet began to descend
“Cal, take care. I’ll be back soon, Natalia thought, glancing at Callum one last time before being pulled
onto the plane by Magnus.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the plane ascended, Natalia watched Callum, who was still standing there watching the plane Tears
welled up in her eyes.
Cal always put her first. She would forever be indebted to him for his kindness
On the plane, Magnus noticed Natalia ignoring him His handsome face darkened with anger. She still
cared for that Englishman!
“You still care about him!” He growled, wishing he had killed Callum when he’d had the chance.
Natalia ignored him, focusing only on the clouds drifting by outside the window.
Magnus realized Natalia was giving him the silent treatment and knew she was still angry with him, but
he didn’t mind. He was determined to win her over, no matter what it took
Regardless, he had scored a win today, successfully preventing her engagement to Callum. That was
enough
Magnus looked at Natalia, clad in her pristine white wedding dress, and felt a potent urge to tear it to
shreds. It was a thom in his eyes. Yet, he fought back the impulse, quietly taking in the sight of his
beautiful woman before him
He didn’t voice any of these thoughts, though Natalia was still seething, and he didn’t want to add fuel
to the fire.
The rest of their journey was spent in tense quietude. Natalia’s gaze was frosty as she stared out the
airplane window, and Magnus silently observed Natalia.
