‘PREGNANT?!’ her mind screamed internally. Her head suddenly throbbed. She glared at him. Her eyes were flaring while her whole face and neck turned red. If it was either because of anger, nervousness, or embarrassment, she didn’t know. Maybe she felt all of it at the same time if it was even possible. “What are you saying?!” she hissed then shook her head while grinning exasperatedly, “Just because we did it doesn’t mean I will certainly be pregnant!” She then looked at her mockingly. “Who knows if you are capable or not?” Her intention was to make him lose his cool. She knew men’s egos were too fragile and her remark would certainly hit the right spot of his nerves. However, as she watched Hendrix after saying that, her eyebrows slowly pulled together when he seemed unaffected. “I’m just stating the possibility because there’s no way I would let anymore take my responsibility. If ever I’m not sterile and you get pregnant, I will be the only person who has the right to be
Hendrix gave her his blazer before he offered to bring her home after leaving her in the dark with that vague speech. She tried to ask him for clarification, however, the jerk just grinned at her and kissed her until she forgot about it. Thinking about it, she shut her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh. ‘Why am I so easy?!’ she berated herself.She couldn't believe she easily gave in to him. And there's no one she could blame but herself when consequences of her action come knocking. Looking through the window of the car, her lips pursed as she realized they were already in the driveway going to the manor. “How’s your feeling?” Hendrix suddenly queried as he decreased the speed of the car. She glanced at him, but it was just brief and she quickly returned her gaze back outside the window. “Fine,” she answered curtly. Her cheeks suddenly felt like burning as she unconsciously closed her legs. She’s still sore all over, especially down there, and was actually hoping that her p
“Here,” Dinah threw the paper bag on the bed as soon as she entered her room. “What’s this?” she scowled. Her cousin shrugged, “Daisy asked me to bring you those..” she answered nonchalantly. Puzzled, her head titted as she took the paperbag and opened it. At first, she was so confused at what it was, but upon seeing the label, her body instantly froze and her heart almost stopped beating. “Two or three should be enough. But Daisy insisted on buying you a dozen. I even had trouble purchasing that, you know?” Dinah clicked her tongue. However, her mind was already wandering somewhere and she did not hear her at all. Her eyes were fixated at the box of the pregnancy test as though it was something illegal that she should not be touching. “Why do you need that? Whom did you finally give yourself to?” Her cousin asked straightforwardly.Margaux shuddered. Daisy didn’t need to say anything and just with the fact that she asked her to buy those pregnancy tests kits for her was a d
Filled with guilt and conscience, Margaux stood firm with her lies and never admitted anything to her cousins. Despite Daisy’s insistence, she kept saying nothing happened even though she knew the woman could see through her. She did not want to lie to their face. But they could not blame her though, she’s not an open book. She’s more reserved despite her outgoing personality and was not comfortable sharing intimate details regarding her life. For her, it was already too much that they learned that she remained pure regardless of being married for three years. She was not yet ready to tell them about losing it, especially that even she herself hadn't accepted that happened. The two gave up eventually and left. However, as soon as she was left alone, she immediately regret not going with them to hangout. Because being alone was just keeping her mind flooded with the reminiscents of her actions. “I don’t want this,” she clicked her tongue and quickly stood up. She went to the b
She drove as fast as she could until she reached the hospital after getting that call. She really had no intention to talk with them again after what happened in the manor the last time they gathered there, but her curiosity got the best out of her. But eventually, she was glad that she answered that call from Josh’s father because she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if she didn’t. Although the last time she met Josh's family did not end well, she was not cruel to use it against them to just ignore Josh when he needed her the most. Josh got into an accident. What’s worse, he’s got triggered again which worsened his condition. She did not ask for the details but those were enough to make her drive right away to the hospital. Her hands were cold and her forehead was sweating because she really cannot handle that kind of emergency situation well. Increasing the speed, she reached the hospital over an hour later since it was in the city which was very far from where she was. It w
“Hey!” she exclaimed in utter shock. The thief immediately ran fast with her bag. Her eyes were wide and her body just froze as she could only watch until that person disappeared from her sight. But when she finally recovered, she just shrugged it off as she was confident that her bodyguards would definitely run after that culprit and take it back for her. Relieved, she continued walking slowly until she reached where the swing was. She sat there and started swinging slowly while watching the people around. “MIss Margaux,” a stranger suddenly appeared in front of her. He was sweating and panting hard as though he just ran a marathon. He even bent his upper body as he tried to catch his breath which made her eyebrows knitted together. “What can I do for you?” she inquired. She can’t just ask him who he was because he might be one of her employees which she could not afford to offend by asking that question. Her parents worked hard to establish a healthy and friendly relationsh
“Babe!” Daisy quickly entered the room, walking past Hendrix and strode towards her. “I just heard what happened! I was calling you but you never answered,” she frowned then hugged her. Margaux snapped. She blinked several times before she turned her gaze to her cousin. “What are you doing here?” she queried. Her eyes could not stop glancing at Hendrix’s direction. She pursed her lips as she realized that she failed to see Daisy and that her eyes instantly landed on him as though he was the only one she could see. “Why won’t I come? Josh is my friend too!” Daisy retorted. She wanted to ask ‘What about Hendrix? And why was he with her?’ However, she decided against it as she did not want to give him any attention anymore. She did not want anything to do with him anymore and should just treat him as a ghost that she could feel but could not see. “Daisy, thank you for coming. Is that your fiancè?” Mrs Garcia walked to them and intervened. Margaux’s eyebrows deeply furrowed
Hendrix’s jaw clenched. It was not the first time he met Margaux’s father. However, it was a different case for her mother, Felissa. He only had seen her in the event where Margaux was finally introduced to the public, but he never had a chance to talk to her. Therefore, he got mixed emotions as he felt happy but mad at the same time. He was happy that as the mother of the woman he loved, she knew him and recognized him as her daughter’s ex husband. However, he did not like the fact that he was just the ex husband, which only means that he was nothing but a stranger to them. “Ex-husband? What is he doing right here?” The old woman asked disgruntledly. Everyone’s attention then turned to him and their gazes were either genuinely curious or taunting, specifically coming from that nosy old woman. But he was not really bothered by that. His eyes stayed on Margaux and did not give any attention to his surroundings. “I’m here for Margaux,” he said. He watched as Margaux’s eyes
