“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
“Hendrix!” someone called out his name. He was expecting it to be Margaux only to be disappointed upon seeing it was Daisy. Standing there, the woman looked disappointed as she stared at him. And he knew exactly why, but he cared less about whatever she felt about him. He wanted to ignore her, knowing the fact that she was very insistent and manipulative. However, he decided against it as he did not want to be rude to the person who seemed to be the only one who was siding with him. Letting out a heavy sigh, he fully turned around and faced her. “What?” he asked with a stoic face.The woman raised an eyebrow as she folded her arms across her chest. “Are you leaving just like that?” she inquired. Her eyes were taunting, as though she was looking down at him just because he left. His thick eyebrows deeply furrowed as he did not understand why she was giving him that look. “I am not needed there,” he replied nonchalantly. Daisy clicked her tongue. She was shaking her head and cont
Hendrix was fuming mad as he left the hospital. He was planning to wait outside for Margaux but the information he gathered ruined his mood. His parents either lied to him or were deceived by someone else. He should not care as it was none of his business anymore. But he couldn’t help it because he had a feeling that Margaux had something to do with it. “What is it now?” Giro answered the call sternly. “Ask my mother if she received the results of her test before she was discharged and fly back there,” he said, going straight to the point. “Your mother? I thought you don’t want to do anything with her?” his friend asked. He clicked his tongue. He did not want to explain anything but he knew Giro wouldn't move until he didn’t get any answer from him. “I met her doctor here and he told me that my parents left before the results came out. I want to confirm who was telling the truth..” he elaborated. “Okay. And if your mother is telling the truth, do you want me to investigate furt
