Hendrix called Giro and asked to investigate the caller. He also told him to see his parents and informed them to call him because he had important things to discuss with them. After that call, he decided to change his plan and just stay in his apartment to wait for his friend’s response. He realized he needed to talk to his mother first. He badly needed to know every detail first before he met with Margaux in case she asked for it. Sitting on the floor, he waited for his phone to ring, however an hour had passed but nothing came. He just waited in vain and wasted an hour that he was supposed to use to see Margaux. Clicking his tongue, he lifted his phone and tried to dial his mother’s number again. But just like his first try, she still didn't answer. Impatiently, he called his secretary instead and ordered him to go to his parents house. Giro must be really busy and most likely just literally went to his parents house to tell them what he said. And since he gave him another
Margaux silently entered the manor. She saw her parents in the living room waiting for her, but she just ignored them and went straight to her room. She didn’t want to talk to them while her mind and emotion were all over the place. After showering, she felt a little better but still, it was not enough to improve her mood. Therefore, she decided to just lock herself in her room and unceremoniously threw herself on the bed. Shutting her eyes tightly, she let out an exasperated sigh. There was just too much happening that day and she felt exhausted and vexed. She tried to sleep because she wasn’t able to sleep the whole night since she was in Hendrix’s apartment and wasn’t comfortable there while thinking about what his mother had done. She let out an exasperated sigh. It was insane. She thought Liana and her parents were crazy but didn’t expect that Wilma was worse. Just because she didn’t like her for her son, she went down that low to part them away. Lifting her hands, sh
“I just did it to annoy you,” Liana added. “Your ex husband is not really my type. I just pretend that I do to get back at you” Stunned, Margaux stared at her cousin in disbelief. She stood straight while her eyes went wide as her brain was processing what she had just said. ‘What did she just hear?’ she thought. She thought Wilma’s scheme was already the last, but she didn’t expect that another one would come out and it was as big as what the old woman did. Staring at Liana darkly, she queried, “Get back at me? Did I hurt you or something?” Liana immediately shook her head. She raised her eyebrows and folded her arms across her chest, “You pissed me off,” she rolled her eyes, “You didn’t tell me the reason why I should get away from your ex husband, but you refused to tell me,” she answered casually. “Just because of that?” she asked in disbelief. Shaking her head, she smiled bitterly and glared at her cousin, “You are so petty” The woman equaled her sharp gaze and scoffed.
“Are you sure about your decision, Margaux?” Don Geronimo queried. Liana already left and she decided to talk to her parents thoroughly. She purposely didn’t answer her father because she wanted to know if the information they got from whoever was accurate. “I’m sure you already know what happened. I won’t ask you who told you about it, but I want to know how much you know,” she said. Felissa, her mother who was sitting next to her, held her left hand and squeezed it. “The Field Marshall reported to us that you called him for assistance,” She replied. Her hunched was right. She knew pretty well that she couldn’t hide that from her parents because first of all, that field marshall was a close friend of her father. He was very professional, and reporting about her to Don Geronimo was just normal because the situation was not just a normal thing. “He also told us everything, a detailed one so you have nothing to keep from us regarding what happened there in the Palace,” her father
“We came here to personally apologize, Hendrix,” Wilma said as soon as Hendrix showed up in the lobby. His jaw hardened as he clenched his fists while walking towards them. He already expected them because his secretary already found out they were flying to England an hour after she ordered him to search for them. “I’m really sorry, son. I wanted to talk to you personally to explain my side properly,” his mother added. She didn’t wait for him to reach them and ran to his direction instead. Crying, she grabbed his hands and clasped them tightly. “Please listen to me, son. I mean no harm. I just did it for your own sake. As your mother, your happiness is my first priority..” He just stared at his mother, face void of emotion. His nerves were all over the place and he didn’t want to say something that he will regret. “Believe in your mother, Hendrix. She’s only worried about you,” his father interjected. “We thought that woman was just good for nothing. She never mentioned he
“What?” Margaux asked, confused. Hendrix looked away and cleared his throat. His ears felt like burning but it instantly eased up upon seeing his parents gawking at him. Suddenly, his anger towards them came back but he tried to ignore them and set aside his rage to give all his attention to Margaux instead. She was his first priority and he will come back to them after Margaux was done talking to him. Slowly, he shifted his gaze back to her and looked straight into her eyes, “I will do everything that you say,” he said firmly. He watched her reaction intently. His heart swelled when he saw a brief spark past her eyes. “Are you sure about that?” she asked. He immediately nodded in response and even smiled at her lip tight. Although he didn’t know what changed and why she suddenly wanted him to stop filing a lawsuit against those horrible people, he would give in to her wants even though it was not really easy because it was about his pride and safety. Margaux looked away a
“No. Please don’t do this..” Hendrix shook his head vehemently. His hands were shaking as he tried to reach her hand, ”Margaux please..” he pleaded while trying to equal her pace. Margaux stopped and glared at him. Her unreadable expression earlier was replaced by a flushed face and furious eyes. “I’m so done with you! I do not want anything to do with you and your family anymore, so please leave me alone! I don’t want to be tied up with horrible people!” she shouted. Her eyes were bloodshot as she glowered at him. “You said you will do everything I say,” she scowled, “Then I ask you to disappear from my life,” she added, then turned around and left him astounded. She thought her mind would change once she heard Wilma admit what she had done. She thought it would make her feel more vengeful and motivated to punish them more than she planned to. But she was wrong. It didn’t make her neither, rather, she just felt so done and just had enough of their b*llsh*ts. Wilma deserv
Hendrix snapped and immediately searched for a taxi, but unfortunately, there was none until Margaux’s car disappeared from his sight. He took out his phone and booked an uber, and he muttered a loud curse when the driver said that it would take half an hour before it could pick him up. He brushed his fingers through his hair. If he only had a car, he wouldn't have any problem there. Why did it never come across his mind to purchase one? He should’ve considered buying it after he got the apartment. He clicked his tongue. “Hendrix. What’s going on?” His mother asked. HIs brows furrowed upon hearing his mother’s voice. Turning around, he saw his parents already standing behind him and looking at him worriedly. “Leave. I don’t want to see you anymore,” he said sternly. “Hendrix, please. Don’t do this to us. We are your parents..” Wilma pleaded and tried to hold his arm. He slapped her hand and glared at her. “Leave before I call the police for harassment!” he hissed.
