The Imposter Bride - Season 4 Episode 5

Belle emerged from the shrubs where she had been hiding for a long time, nodding at Natalia. “Not

bad, you kept your word and didn’t bring anyone with you.”

Natalia shook her head, surprised at Belle’s cunningness. She had been watching from the sidelines to

see if Natalia would bring anyone to capture her.

Belle had been hiding for a long time, her aura radiating an intense malice. Like a rat, she had been

hiding in the most dangerous places, avoiding the pursuit of Chase and James. But Belle knew that she

was safe as long as she had the antidote that would save Magnus.

Natalia had a hard time hiding her disdain for Belle. “Belle, why did you poison Magnus? How could

anyone be as cruel as you?”

“I’m cruel?” Belle laughed, hugging her arms. “You’re right, Natalia. I’m cruel, and not just cruel, I’m

filthy! Do you know who I am, Natalia? Do you know how much I wanted to strangle you when I saw

you and Magnus together?”

Belle’s words left Natalia confused. When had she offended Belle? “Belle, who are you?”

“Who am I?” Belle laughed again. “I’m Isabella, Natalia. You’ve been living a peaceful life for too long,

you’ve even forgotten about me. You never saw me as your opponent, did you?”

Belle looked resentfully at Natalia, wishing she could claw that enchanting face of hers. “Natalia, how

am I inferior to you? Tell me! Why did Magnus treat me like dirt just because you appeared?! You

disappeared for five years, but do you know where I was?! Do you know what kind of life I’ve been

living?! Huh?! You don’t know. You don’t know anything! You’re protected by Magnus so thoroughly,

from even the slightest harm!”

Natalia was taken aback. She never expected Belle to be the long-missing Isabella.

“Why you? Isabella!” She wanted to laugh, but she couldn’t. “You loved Magnus, didn’t you? Why

destroy him? Why poison him?”

Even though Isabella was cruel, she had always loved Magnus. Natalia knew this.

“Ha!” Isabella laughed maniacally. “Even you know I loved him, but he despised me! Do you know

what, he once told me that he finds my love disgusting.? He blamed your disappearance on me, forced

me to cut ties with my family, and made me a beggar! Do you know what I went through?”

Isabella’s words shocked Natalia. She had no idea that Isabella had been through so much.

“Even if you’ve had hardships, you shouldn’t have poisoned Magnus. Your heart is beyond evil!”

Isabella stared at Natalia through blurry eyes. “You want to know what I’ve been through? Fine, I’ll tell

you.”

She looked into the distance, her eyes filled with despair. “Five years ago, my so-called father, was

threatened by Magnus, slapped me, and cut off all ties. He loved his company more than me. I couldn’t

accept it, so I ran to the river. But then, I was knocked unconscious by a stranger.”

Natalia was horrified. Isabella’s father had indeed severed ties with her for his company, and she had

been attacked by a stranger.

“Who was that man? Why did he knock you out?” Natalia asked, her innate kindness shining through.

“He was a disgusting man, a farmer in Mexico, who held me captive. He used me as a tool, locked me

in a dark basement without clothes, without sunlight,” Isabella explained, her voice full of hatred.

“Natalia, have you ever lived like that? Like an insignificant ant that could be crushed at any moment?”

Natalia was speechless. She had never experienced such a life.

“You wouldn’t know, because Magnus protected you. You wouldn’t understand the lengths people

would go to survive. I lived like that for a year.” Isabella’s face twisted in pain. “Eventually, I earned his

trust. He even began to believe that I had fallen in love with him and allowed me some freedom on his

farm.

“Day in, day out, I was always prowling every inch of the ranch, constantly racking my brain trying to

figure out how to kill that nauseating scoundrel! Finally, my chance came!” Isabella’s eyes gleamed with

murderous intent. “That day, he came home utterly drunk from the pub, incessantly demanding more

booze. I obliged him and fixed him a drink that would be his last.”

At this point, Isabella started to chuckle. “Natalia, have you ever killed someone? Haha, I bet you

haven’t. What a waste! Let me tell you, when that poisoned whiskey came spurting out of that beast’s

mouth, mixed with the stench of fresh blood, it was a sight to behold. Watching him squirm and beg on

the floor, that moment was bliss for me! After enduring so much, I finally took my revenge with my own

hands! Hahaha, Natalia, there’s no such thing as a savior in this world. One must save oneself!”
