The Imposter Bride (Natalia and Magnus)

Chapter 276

Soon enough, Callum, with his exceptional memory, mastered the simple game of rock-paper-scissors,

and started competing with Lexi.

Then, Lexi found herself in an unfortunate predicament. Despite being the one who taught Callum the

game, she always ended up losing to him.

Even though she managed to avoid the penalty of singing a song with her unrivaled skill of playing the

victim, Lexi's spirits soared higher after downing another bottle of red wine. Holding the empty wine

bottle, she began singing and dancing. “We cry, we laugh, we look up at the sky, stars still shining

bright… Because I just met you, leaving footprints so beautiful. Wind blows, flowers fall, tears like rain,

because we don’t want to part…”

Lexi’s melodious voice echoed in the room, and her petite figure and beautiful voice cast a spell on

Callum.

Callum thought he was looking at his Buttercup alia for a fleeting moment. He quickly shook off the

thought, chuckling at his drunken imagination. How did he see Lexi as Natalia? They looked nothing

alike!

Outside, the wind and rain intensified, making the night even darker.

Inside, the room was littered with empty wine bottles. Lexi, drunk to the point of not knowing which way

was up, was laughing foolishly, occasionally singing a few lines of a song. There was no denying it; she

had put on a one-woman concert tonight.

“It’s late, I need to go. You should get some rest, too,” Callum said, standing up from the floor and

turning to leave. He had drunk a fair amount of wine with Lexi, but the alcohol wasn’t enough to make

him drunk, it just made him a bit tipsy.

However, he had barely taken two steps when he felt his legs being held tightly.

Lexi threw herself at Callum’s legs, mumbling incoherently. “Don’t leave. I’m scared.”

Callum’s handsome brows furrowed, looking down at Lexi, who was clinging to his legs. “Scared? What

are you scared of?”

Lexi gave Callum a foolish grin, tightening her grip on his legs. “I’m scared of the witch, and the big-

nosed monster, and the red-eyed creature…”

She spoke so quickly that Callum couldn’t quite catch what she was saying, but he knew that these

were probably figments of her imagination from some horror story.

“Alright, I won’t leave. I’ll stay with you, okay?” Callum crouched down, gently stroking Lexi's hair. “I’ll

be here with you, and help you fight those monsters.”

“Mm-hmm, fight them off! Especially their king!” Lexi climbed onto Callum’s legs and rested her head

on them.

“The king? They have a king?” Callum couldn’t help but smile. She was really drunk.

Lexi prattled on, completely unaware of who she was talking to. “Yes, they have a king, the most

despicable, fierce, and brutal tyrant. He has a name too, Callum. If you cross him, he will lock you up in Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

a big castle with a dragon guarding you, and never let you leave.”

Callum was both amused and annoyed. So this is how she saw him when he wasn't around - as the

most despicable, fierce, and brutal tyrant? He must not have been fierce enough in real life for her to

make up such stories.

She needed to be punished!

As soon as the thought came to Callum’s mind, he flipped Lexi over and gave her a firm spank. “Let’s

see if you dare to blabber next time.”

Caught off guard by the spank, Lexi’s temper flared up instantly. She glared at Callum. “You, you hit

me?”

“Hehe, yeah. What are you going to do about it?” Callum suddenly found it amusing to tease Lexi.

Lexi, in her drunken stupor, had no idea who was hitting her. Acting on instinct, she bit down on the

closest part of Callum’s body. “I’ll bite you to death!”

While biting Callum, she also hit him hard on the thigh.

“Hss!” Callum sucked in a breath.

To be honest, Lexi’s strength was nothing to him, but, the location where she bit him was...

And what was even worse was her little hand, which was not staying put!

That's right! Lexi's drunken hit was not just a hit, but could be considered harassment.

Callum quickly grabbed Lexi, who was causing a ruckus on his thigh, and said hoarsely, “Stop it!”

“Hmph! I won’t. You hit me first! I’m going to bite here, here, and here,” Lexi said, lunging at Callum’s

sensitive parts, completely oblivious to what she was doing.

“You little minx, you asked for this!” Callum’s renowned self-control crumbled in an instant. He forcefully

turned Lexi over, pinning her underneath him.

He looked down at Lexi, who was now beneath him. Her seductive looks made his blood boil.

After a brief struggle, Lexi looked up at Callum with a dazed stare. “You think you’re so great just

because you’re stronger? I won’t back down!”

With that, she lifted her head and bit down on Callum’s nose.

Callum easily escaped Lexi’s attack, but for his own safety, he had to seal her bewitching, mischievous

lips. Lexi felt her mouth being bitten and was absolutely livid.

What could she do when she was bitten? Lexi had the answer, bite back!

When Callum forcibly silenced Lexi’s mischievous mouth, the defiant Lexi summoned all her strength to

bite Callum’s lips.

“Hss.” A sigh escaped Callum's lips. He threw all his restraint and guilt out the window, leaned down,

and savored the intoxicating sweetness of Lexi.

He sealed her lips, deeply drawing in the taste of red wine and her unique fragrance, which filled all his

senses.

Lexi, too, gave as good as she got, fighting back with all her might.

Gradually, the air filled with an underlying current of intimacy, and their struggle turned into a tender

embrace. Slowly, it grew stronger, until it turned into bubbles of pink, filling the entire room.

With resolute determination, Callum cradled the girl in his arms and strode towards the regal four-

poster bed.

Kisses, possession...a potent conquest that eventually subsided into tranquility.

Outside the window, the gentle patter of rain serenaded the whispering breeze. Inside the room, they

lay entwined, their passion burning hot and fierce, then gradually simmering into a tender afterglow.
