Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“My dear Natalia, don’t worry. I’m definitely standing on your side.” Bailey’s eyes were sincere as she looked at Natalia, whose personality had just taken a drastic turn. Bailey was not surprised at all but was glad to see Natalia’s change.
Over the years, Vasili had been slowly chipping away at Bailey’s authority, forcing her to be extremely cautious in TY’s scrutiny. Now, she finally saw a new opportunity budding in Natalia. Bailey must seize this and make Vasili regret everything that he had done to her!
?
Due to Natalia’s interception, Bailey had forgotten another piece of stirring news that she just encountered. Recently, bats and rats had been crawling out of people’s bodies for no reason, and it started to cause a huge panic. As for the reason behind it, further investigations must be conducted before any form of conclusion could be made.
On closer inspection, it was not difficult to find out that those who posted pictures online claiming to be attacked by bats and rats were mostly people who insulted and slandered Natalia under the topic #Natalya’sSubstitute.
After discussing the follow-up details of her revenge plan with Bailey, Natalia made up an excuse, picked up her handbag, and drove away on her own.
She did not inform Bailey that she had already registered her marriage with Alex Bruch.
There was no need for this marriage to be publicized considering how they were both in this for mutual benefits.
At night, at the front desk of a five-star hotel.
“Mrs. Bruch, Mr. Bruch is waiting for you in the room.” Natalia had just gotten out of the car when Alex’s assistant—Natalia recognized the man who had been following Alex around—approached her.
Natalia nodded with a smile and handed her car keys to his assistant. She was getting used to hearing this empty shell of a status a bit too quickly for comfort.
In the elevator, Natalia could not help but let her imagination run wild. What had Alex invited her here for? A hotel? How it made her thoughts run wild.
“Mr. Bruch, are you there? This is Natalia.”
Natalia knocked on the door once, only to realize that the hotel door was ajar. The moment she touched the door, it swung open.
Alex stood in the doorway and gestured for Natalia to enter in a chivalrous manner.
Natalia entered, puzzled.
A mellow symphony created by the cello trickled from the vinyl record player to every corner of the room. The warm afterglow from the sunset added a layer of visual comfort to the immaculate hotel suite. On a plain wooden table on the balcony, two sets of steak and wine were laid out in an orderly manner.
On the bed that was faintly discernible behind a white sheer canopy, delicate red rose petals were arranged in a heart-shaped..
The night breeze floated into the room, filling the room with a waft of fragrance.
“Do you like it?”
Catching Natalia unawares, Alex had already walked up from behind Natalia. Turning around to look at him, Natalia’s gaze landed straight into Alex’s violet eyes.
“Oh! I like—I like it!” Natalia’s heart skipped a beat. Those beautiful violet eyes never failed to mesmerize her.
She did not peel her eyes away, and the corners of her lips curled up involuntarily.
She was pleasantly surprised by Alex’s thoughtfulness. Today was their wedding day! Therefore, this must be their wedding night.
Natalia lifted the sheer veil to the bed and crossed her long legs as she sat on the large bed decorated with rose petals.
Alex’s violet eyes darkened at Natalia’s gesture.
“Have you thought it through?” His voice was low and cold, but the hint of gentleness in it was hard to miss.
She reciprocated with a small smile—she was not deterred. She was his wife, and it was only a matter of time before this happened.
“Mr. Bruch, I have no regrets.”
She spoke firmly. It was the same tone she had when they bumped into each other at the cathedral this morning.
Alex walked toward Natalia. Natalia’s heart started palpitating, but she still shifted to the side gently, looking as if she had let down her guard completely.
He rested his large palm on Natalia’s slender waist, and the hemp belt slipped onto the extravagant Persian carpet as he continued advancing toward Natalia. He unbuttoned Natalia’s shirt deliberately, gradually exposing her beautiful figure to the temperature that was slowly rising to the occasion.
Alex buried his head in Natalia’s slender neck and took a deep breath. The sweetness of Natalia’s skin was like magic that lulled him in, challenging his suppressed desires. He closed his eyes slightly and avoided looking at her snow-white neck. He suppressed all thoughts of the wonderful blood flowing in the blood vessels under her beautiful neck.
A golden spark ignited in the depths of Alex’s violet eyes, dyeing them with a strange, mesmerizing color. He held Natalia’s supple hand with unbearable control and deliberately put some distance between them. “That’s all for today. I’ll face you in my truest form, and I hope you won’t regret what you said today either.”
“Also…” Alex paused, and his violet eyes locked onto the woman before him. “As my wife, you must be absolutely loyal to me. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself incapable of dealing with the consequences! ”
Natalia did not rush to respond. She focused her eyes on Alex.
Loyalty and devotion were what she needed too.
She nodded solemnly. “Of course, Mr. Bruch. I won’t disappoint you.”
Alex moved to the side and lay beside Natalia. They could feel the warmth emanating from each other’s bodies.
After what seemed like an eternity, right before Natalia descended into a deep sleep, she heard the man’s husky murmur above her head. “Sleep, Mrs. Natalia Bruch.”
