She stepped backwards and put her arms around Josh’s arm then grinned at Hendrix. “I want you out of my life because I want to settle down. And I don't want you to ruin it,” she added. Her sanity left her. And she didn’t know what came to her mind that she suddenly blurted those out. But as soon as she said those words, she felt her chest tightened and everything inside her seemed protesting. She wanted to reprimand herself but her anger towards Hendrix was to the moon that her rational mind was nowhere to be seen. “Leave now before I call the security to take you to the airport,” she said sternly. Beside her though, Josh looked very stiff but she just ignored it. She actually preferred him that way though, so he won't expose her for lying. Meanwhile, Hendrix shook his head. The look on his face was unreasonable but his eyes were bloodshot and his hands were trembling. Margaux averted her gaze as she suddenly felt guilty for lying. However, she reminded herself about the pictur
What wedding invitation?! Margaux’s eyes went wide like a saucer as she stared at her cousin incredulously. She didn’t voice it out, and she tried so hard to keep a blank face. “You gave him.. the invitation?” she queried slowly. Her voice was a little hoarse and words barely came out.It was too hard to process what Daisy had just done. She was in utter disbelief that her hands were shaking.“I did. You told me to do it last night. Have you forgotten?” she smiled at her meaningfully. She felt like she was struck with lightning, making her immobile. The astonishment she felt earlier was nothing compared to what she felt at that moment. Daisy’s lips stretched widely. She briefly glanced at Josh beside her before returning her gaze back to her. “You called me last night and asked me to deliver the invitation in his apartment since you don’t know where he was..” She stared at her cousin for a long second before she clenched her fists. Upon hearing her last words, she realized that D
Her steps abruptly halted. Stunned, she stared at nowhere while her mind was in a mess. ‘What did he just say?’ she asked inwardly. “I didn’t have a ticket. Liana went alone on board. You can check it in the airport,” the guy continued. She shut her eyes as embarrassment was slowly crippling in her system. She blamed herself for not checking it after that picture was sent to her by Liana.‘That woman! She should have known better not to trust everything she says and does. Born liar will never change overnight. That’s too reckless and stupid of her for falling once again from that bratty Princess. Who knows if she's plotting something against her and joined forces with Hendrix? Thinking about it, her fists clenched tightly until she could feel the stabbing pain on her palms. It made her blood boil. She was furious once again. “I thought you don’t like her? Are you close enough now to send her off?” Daisy interjected. Her jaw clenched as her face darkened. She could only see b
Margaux gave back his phone silently and immediately walked inside the manor. Her face was void of emotion but he knew better that she had read something. He had just no idea whether she was upset about it or not. But he hoped she was because it only meant that she cares. Clutching the phone tightly, he followed her. But unfortunately, Josh was quick to block his way. “Where do you think you are going?” he scowled. The guy was a little shorter and skinnier than him. His skin was also pale and he looked like an actor who portrayed the role of a vampire in a popular movie. He seemed unhealthy that one weak push from him, he would immediately fall on the ground.His jaw hardened. ‘What did Margaux see in that guy that made her decide to marry him?’ he thought as he stared at Josh intently. He shook his head. Clearly, he was way better than him in every aspect. However, he couldn't help but still feel insecure as she still chose him despite the fact. “I need to talk to her,” he respo
Hendrix hesitantly accepted the business card. His thick eyebrows furrowed upon seeing a familiar yet unfamiliar name written on it. Puzzled, he looked at Daisy with a big question mark on his face. “That's my friend. You have met her already. She could help you with your problem with my cousin,” the woman said with a knowing smile then went inside the manor, leaving him astounded. Frozen, he just stood there alone while staring at the business card in his hand. He tried to remember where he heard that name but it was just hurting his head. Although Daisy said he already met her, he found it absurd for he didn't remember interacting with anyone that was related to them aside from Liana. Hendrix just snapped out of his trance when he heard loud footsteps coming near him. Subconsciously, he quickly went inside the manor and hid behind the golden life size statue next to the grand staircase. “Is it true that Margaux has been married before?” His ears perked up upon hearing Margaux’s
Margaux stared at Daisy fiercely as soon as the latter entered her bedroom. She knew it was her doing although she couldn't really remember what exactly happened last night after her cousins brought her to their mansion. “What did you do?” she queried, her tone was full of accusation. Meanwhile, Daisy gave her an innocent look which could deceive everyone but her. “What are you talking about?” she arched an eyebrow. “Stop playing innocent. I know it's you. Just tell me what else did you do aside from making a fake wedding invitation?” Margaux glowered at her cousin. “Oh, that..” Daisy smirked before gracefully sat on the couch and crossed her legs. Her eyes were sparkling as she leaned her back and folded her arms, “I got your consent last night about that. Don't you remember?” Margaux stared at her cousin incredulously. She couldn't believe that that's what she would hear from her and seemed too calm about it when she was about to lose her sanity for overthinking. “Daisy! I wa
“It’s not true,” Margaux said slowly. Her hands were clasped together as her eyebrows deeply furrowed. Her gaze then shifted back to Josh, and saw him scowling at his mother as well. Suspiciously she looked back at the old woman and tilted her head. “What's not true?” Mrs Garcia asked in confusion. “About the marriage. It's just a rumor. I'm not marrying anyone,” she said firmly, She purposely mentioned anyone so they would not think she was rejecting their son again. And also she wanted to let them know that she was not interested in settling down again. “But..” the old woman glanced at her son with a big question mark written on her face. She then returned her gaze back towards her and continued. “One of our family friend's daughter just made your wedding invitation. She saw it when her daughter asked one of their men to send it over to your friend..” Her eyes widened in shock. She wanted to run back to Daisy and reprimand her for getting a fake invitation but then she remembe
Margaux grunted as she shut her eyes. She couldn't believe what was happening and how it suddenly turned out like that so fast!“I knew it! This is already a big deal so we have no way now but to just make it real!” Mrs Garcia stated. Her voice was loud and full of enthusiasm which made her open her eyes in an instant. “Mom..” Josh reprimanded her. The old woman just beamed at him though, then turned to face her and gently grabbed her clasped hands. “Dear, that's for your own good. You just took over your father's post, it's better to keep your name flawless to avoid any problem in the future” Her stomach churned. She didn't like everything that she said and felt like she was imposing something behind those words. However, before she could open her mouth to question her, Josh beat her to it and pulled his mother's hands away from hers. “Mom, stop,” he said gently opposite to his eyes, sharply looking at the old woman. Mrs Garcia seemed taken aback. Her eyes went round and her m
