“Who gave you this?” Hendrix asked sternly while holding the bouquet of flowers that Josh gave her. Margaux pursed her lips and just stared at him sharply. “This kind of flower is not good. choice. I'm sure you didn't like it,” he said then looked around as if searching for something. “Where is the trash can?” Her brows instantly furrowed, “Put that back on my table” “This?” He shook his head, “I'll just buy you roses,” he muttered. “Roses?,” she scoffed. “I hate roses the most,” she uttered sarcastically. She shook her head and marched towards his direction. Then she snatched the bouquet away from his hand and put it back on the table herself. Folding her arms, she turned around and faced him with a grim expression. “Why are you here?” She raised her eyebrows. “You didn't go back to my apartment, so I visit you instead,” he answered casually. Margaux’s eyes darkened as she looked at him. She didn’t like his answer, especially the way he said it so confidently. “I
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 118: Follow
Margaux frowned but didn't say anything and just let him ride the private elevator with him. Only the two of them were there since her secretary didn't follow Hendrix anymore upon seeing she was with him. They were both silent, which she was grateful for. However, she couldn't stop herself from glancing at him from the corner of her eyes, checking on him and feel a little conscious. “Where are you going?” Hendrix finally spoke, cutting the silence. “I said it's none of your business,” she hissed. Hendrix turned to the side and took a step forward, bridging the gap between them. “Your business is my business, Margaux,” he retorted. She glared at him. “How so? We're not married. If you still acknowledge that I am Margaux Hermani, well then, we are already officially divorce. I'm single now with my original and fake name. So my business is no one's business. That's only mine, not even my family, especially not yours!” she exclaimed. She really hated him to the core, because ev
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 119: Friend
“I'll take it,” Margaux said and quickly stood up to open the door. But her eyebrows knitted together as soon as it opened and revealed the scene from outside. She looked around but saw nothing which made her puzzled. “Huh? Is someone trying to prank here?” she mumbled in confusion. “Who is it?” Josh queried. Margaux shrugged, “I don't know. There's no one there as I opened the door,” she elaborated. The guy tilted his head and tried to look outside as well from the bed. “Someone is probably pulling a prank,” he stated as he saw nothing as well. “Here? I'll have the CCTV check later. Playing here is not allowed,” she said in a serious tone while closing back the door. Josh wore a huge smile while watching her intently. But Margaux was oblivious of that as she was marching back to her seat. The room filled with silence when she sat back down and caught the guy staring at her again like he did back in her office. Her eyebrows furrowed but he didn't flinch which made the c

“Director,” the Doctor greeted, followed by the two nurses behind him as soon as she opened the door. Margaux blinked several times before she forced herself to shift her gaze to the couple of people right in front her. “Doc, come in..” she said as she stepped sideways. As the Doctor and nurses entered the room, her gaze went back to the person outside. Her eyes narrowed at him but the latter didn't flinch and just stared at her with a very serious expression. She scoffed and turned around to look at Josh and his parents, “I'll just stay here outside,” she muttered. “No need to step out, Margaux. You can stay here.." Mrs Garcia gently stated. But she quickly shook her head, “I will come back immediately, I just saw a friend..” she said. She discreetly cringed at the word ‘friend’ but she couldn't tell them what she was planning to do. It was her business and as much as possible, she just wanted to keep the information about her and Hendrix to her extended family only. “Alrigh
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 121: Compromise
Her body stiffened as she realized what was happening. She wanted to push him, but she suddenly felt weak when his lips started moving. She drew a loud breath as her heart was almost bursting out from beating so wildly. His lips were too soft and the way his tongue moved coaxing to enter in her mouth was sending tiny tingles through her body. “Margaux..” he whispered. Then, slowly she felt his large hands started to travel up her spine and up to the back of her head. Her body shivered and the hair from her nape stood up when his tongue successfully entered her mouth. “Hhm,” a moan involuntarily escaped her lips and she couldn’t help it anymore but to kiss her back with an equal fervor.“Your lips taste so sweet,” Hendrix groaned as he deepened the kiss.Margaux shut her eyes and completely surrendered with the temptation. She lifted her hands and snaked it around his neck while she let him devour her lips. They were in their own world, understanding each other in silence with th
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 122: Crazy
“Are you crazy?!” Margaux hissed and squirmed from his embrace. “Let go of me!”“Yes, I think I'm already crazy,” Hendrix responded. Her body shivered upon hearing that but she kept her heart guarded. She won’t be swayed by his flowery words, as she was sure it only came to his nose and didn’t really mean it. Hendrix probably forgot that she chased him for two years so she knew he was not capable of saying such things. All he knew was to reject women. And the only words coming out from his mouth were nothing but rude and harsh. Although she never heard him cussed, she was pretty sure it was part of his daily life. That’s how he was, not the person he was trying to portray as of the moment. And that was also the reason why she was certain he had a hidden agenda regarding his fake chasing.She stayed still and let him hug her. She knew eventually that he would get tired and let go of her.“You think I will let go eventually, right?” Hendrix suddenly queried. She didn’t answer and rem
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 123: Kidnap
Hendrix turned off the phone before tossing it back in her bag. “There,” he said and smiled in satisfaction as if he had accomplished a very huge task. He then turned to Margaux while he put her bag behind him to prevent her from getting it back. Meanwhile, Margaux folded her arms while glaring at him. “What are you doing?!” she asked.Her voice was like ice but he just gave her a wide smile in return which made her gaze sharpened even more.“Stop fooling me!” she snarled.“Fooling you?” His thick eyebrows raised, then shook his head slowly, “I’m not fooling you,” he answered. “You’re not?” Margaux scoffed, “Then, what do you mean by this?” Hendrix looked at her, confused. He didn’t understand what she was trying to say but he was telling the truth when he said he was not fooling her. How can he fool her though? He was scared to do that, especially after she threatened that she would deport him back to the Philippines. He can accept to be banned anywhere and be homeless as long as
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 124: Chance
Shock was understatement as she looked at Hendrix. She was rendered speechless as she didn't know what to feel about that. “C-chance?” she breathed. She could feel that he was really determined for that chance he was asking for, by the way he was holding her hands and by the way he was looking at her. “I only ask for one chance, Margaux. Just this day..” he pleaded. She averted her gaze as she couldn't look at his brown orbs while he was giving her that intense and penetrating gaze. It was as though he's trying to bewitch her to agree with his request. “Let me think about it,” she could only answer. “Think until we reach my apartment,” he replied almost instantly. Her gaze went back to him but he was already looking out of the window. Her brows furrowed as she couldn't understand what he was thinking. Suddenly, her heart filled with doubt. The confidence he was showing was making her uncomfortable. She wasn't sure but she thought that he was not just doing it for something to g

The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress EPILOGUE
Hendrix's thick furrowed eyebrows became permanent as he buried his face on paper works. His workaholic self just couldn't help finishing them all before he went home. “Sir, it's past nine already,” Tom, his secretary, stated. “You can go home now,” he responded without lifting his head. Tom looked hesitant as he stared at his boss who was busy signing the documents. He could leave just as he told him to, but he knew his future would be at risk if he did not drag his boss out of his office. Standing there, he took a deep breath and was prepared to say the magic word when all of a sudden, a loud ring erupted in the whole office. Hendrix stopped whatever he was doing and scowled at his mobile phone resting on the corner of his desk. His face was dark as though he was displeased that he's got interrupted with his work. “Let me see, you're still in the office, am I right?” the caller said without any greetings. Hendrix didn't need to ask who was on the other line. His annoyin
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 380: Yours
The manor was very busy as everyone seemed to be panicking as the time was running. But Margaux seemed oblivious as she was busy staring at herself in a huge mirror. Her heart was thumping hard. ‘This is it,” she told herself internally. The white beautiful wedding dress that was full of tiny diamonds was sparkling, almost blinding her eyes. Her hair was tied up in a very neat bun with some hair strands curled beautifully decorating her small face. While her makeup was just light, almost bare showing her natural beauty that made everyone in the room bewitched as they all looked at her. “Miss Margaux, it’s time to walk down the aisle,” the organizer announced. Margaux glanced over herself one more time before leaving the room. The organizer gave her the beautifully arranged white bouquet with a huge grin.“Mr Mondragon is so lucky,” she muttered with pure admiration. She did not respond and just gave her a small smile. Her stomach was churning as her chest was about to explode. S
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 379: Forgiven
Margaux crossed her arms as she leaned on the back rest of the sofa, staring at the woman in front of her. She woke up alone and everyone in the manor was nowhere to be found aside for Liana who was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room while having a cup of tea as she descended the stairs. “Babe,” Liana flashed a small smile. Her eyebrows raised as she had no idea what her cousin was doing in their manor. As far as she could remember, she was left in the Philippines so she thought she would stay there and will never have the guts to show her face again out of remorse. ‘I forgot that she’s shameless,’ she thought and rolled her eyes. “I know you never wish to see me again,” Liana muttered. “You know but you still show up here,” she replied sarcastically. The princess let out a sigh then shook her head. Seeing that, Margaux thought she was going to retort a sarcastic remark and grin mockingly at her like she always does before. However, she’d seen none of it, rather
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 378: Okay
“I want to give her a grand wedding in front of all of you, her family and friends,” Hendrix added. He was looking straight to Don Geronimo as he said those words with a very serious face. However, the corner of his lips lifted upon seeing Margaux’s reaction in his peripheral vision. “You’re already married,” Don Geronimo stated. Hendrix's lips pursed as he brought his attention back to the old man. “But it didn't feel right. I married her as Margaux Hermani and I want to correct that“ “Hendrix..” Margaux muttered. He finally looked at her direction and saw her flustered face and teary eyes. She probably didn't expect that and had a doubt about his plan. Stepping forward, he cupped her face and stared into her blue eyes. “I want to make this right,” he muttered. Then he put down his hands and shoved one onto the pocket of his jeans whilst slowly kneeling down in front of her. A loud gasp came from Margaux as he pulled out the velvet box and revealed a huge diamond ring.
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 377: Ask
“You're blooming,” Daisy smirked as soon as they entered the dining room. Margaux’s face turned hot in an instant. She then threw her cousin a sharp glare on which the latter just laughed it off. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just stating a fact,” Daisy said and gave her a malicious grin. She rolled her eyes and did not say anything. Instead, she took her seat and looked around the table to see that they were complete except her parents, who were probably still in the hospital. “You should take the seat next to your wife,” she heard her uncle say. Her eyebrows raised as the only vacant seat next to her was his father's chair. “I don't think that's right,” Hendrix muttered as he stood still behind her chair. “Just take that seat and eat. It's just a chair,” her uncle Daniel insisted. Knowing that her husband won't do it for his respect for her father, she let out a sigh before glancing over her shoulder. “You can take that chair. No one will mind,”
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 376: Sorry
“Are you tired?” Hendrix queried as they cuddled under the blanket. ‘I am exhausted!’ Margaux’s mind screamed internally. Her face was burning and kept her eyes closed recalling what they had just done. It was not the first time anymore but it still felt new to her. Moreso, the experience was entirely different from the first one as she thought Hendrix didn't strain himself anymore which made her whole body sore. She felt his soft lips touch her forehead and a soft whisper of ‘I love you’ tingles her left ear. He then tightened his hold on her and pressed her body to his even more as if he was afraid to have even a tiniest gap between them. “Love..” he murmured. Curiously, Margaux slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. But before she could say something, Hendrix quickly leaned in closer and claimed her lips. Gasping, she opened her eyes and reluctantly pushed him away. “I can't do it anymore,” she mumbled. She averted her gaze as her face became hotter. She had no qualms
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 375: False Alarm
“Call all the doctors, quick!” she exclaimed as she kneeled down next to Hendrix. Her heart just stopped beating upon seeing his unconscious body. She didn't know where to touch him as she was afraid she might hurt him even more. “Love! Open your eyes, please! Don't sleep!” she cried. She could feel her cousin was trying to calm her but her emotions exploded that she could not hear anything anymore. “Babe, calm down!” Daisy shook her. “Love, please!” she pleaded. Her hands were shaking as she placed her palms on his chest. Although she could feel his heartbeat, still she cannot calm down seeing him unconscious with blood almost covering his shirt. “Let me check his wounds,” Felissa muttered. Reluctantly, she moved away and let her mother check where the gunshot was. She was holding her breath as she was trying to prepare for whatever she was going to see. However, as soon as her mother lifted Hendrix's shirt, loud gasps reverberated in the room and followed by loud laughter.
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 374: Trust
“Aren’t you afraid that he might let that woman free?” Felissa inquired. Margaux heaved a sigh. Then, a small smile flashed her face as she looked at her mother. “I trust that he won’t do it, Mom..” she replied. Her mother stared at her for a long second before she responded. “What if he betrayed you?” she asked critically. She did not know if her mother was just testing her. But her question did not really come across her mind. After learning what happened from the nurse that was supposed to kill her, she knew right then that Hendrix did not really mean to shoot her. He was aiming for Doctor Pablo, not her. That’s why as soon as he tried to approach her, she did not hesitate to send him with that woman. She was that confident that he would come back to her, not thinking about other possibilities that he had other motives. Looking away, she curled her fingers as she was starting to doubt her decision. But then she shook her head immediately and lifted her chin as she returned her
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 373: History
Margaux quickly shifted her head towards the door as soon as she heard it shut. Her shoulders slumped while she heaved a deep sigh. “Why did you make him leave and feel disappointed now?” Her father queried. She pursed her lips. Seriously, she didn’t know why she did that. Probably because she was not ready to face him yet. She took a deep breath once again and looked at her father. “Did you already know about Doctor Pablo?” She asked instead. Don Geronimo raised his eyebrows. His eyes lit up, prolly seeing her intention of changing the topic. “I had suspicion, but never thought he could actually do that to us,” he shook his head. Margaux’s eyes narrowed as she stared at her father. His actions and facial expression were so contradictory that she could not help but be skeptical. “Really?” She tilted her head and crossed her arms. She did trust her father, but at that moment, she could not help but doubt his words. Meanwhile, Don Geronimo suddenly laughed boisterously. “You’r
