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

  • The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress   Chapter 189: Dislike

    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

    Margaux scoffed and quickly turned around. She was not interested in whatever she was about to tell about him. “Aren't you curious?” Daisy inquired but she just ignored her. Walking back inside the manor, she felt the two trailed behind her but paid no heed to them. “Where have you been?” Don Geronimo asked Daisy as soon as they showed up again with her. “I just sent off Hendrix, Uncle,” Daisy answered. Margaux’s head quickly turned to her cousin with her eyebrows knitted together. She did not expect her answer and was suddenly confused as to why she did that. However, instead of asking her why, she just gave Daisy a knowing look while the latter glanced at her and winked. “You sent him off? Shouldn't you just let our men do that?” Daisy immediately shook her head. “I can't, Uncle. I don't trust them..” Surprised, her eyes went round as her lips parted slightly. All of a sudden, she felt conflicted whether to scold her or something because of her extreme honesty. “What's the

    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 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

    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

    “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.

    “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,”

    “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

    “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.

    “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

    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
