Hendrix woke up by the loud ringing of his phone. He was still disoriented as he had not much rest since he arrived there. “I found something,” the other line announced excitedly without any introductions nor greetings. Frowning, his mind was still processing it when Giro spoke again, “Sorry to interrupt your sleep. But this is very important”Hendrix let out a sigh. He sat on his bed and wiped his face with his palm. He's already completely awake and ready to hear whatever he has to say. “I'm listening,” he stated. “Surprisingly, we are searching for the wrong keyword that's why we met the dead end!” Giro started. The creases on his forehead deepened, as he vaguely understood what he was saying. “Go straight to the point,” he ordered impatiently. Giro's energy was too high and he could not understand his excitement. As far as he knows, it was already night there so he didn't know what's gotten his friend to because of that. Hendrix heard him clearing his throat first as if he
Daisy elegantly sat on the couch as soon as Hendrix opened the door. His parents, however, were giving him a look that he couldn't fathom at all. “Who is she?” Wilma's eyes were squinting suspiciously at him. But instead of answering, he just ignored his mother and walked towards Daisy instead. She's an esteemed guest anyway, therefore, he couldn't leave her unattended. “What can I do for you, Miss Hermani?” he politely asked. Good thing, he washed his face and changed his clothes before he opened the door and let them in. He cannot embarrass himself, especially in front of Margaux's cousin. “Hermani? Is she related to Margaux?” Wilma interrupted. Hendrix watched how Daisy's eyes narrowed at Wilma. He clearly saw how those pair of blue orbs glinted in disdain. Although confused, he didn't say anything even though he was wondering why she seemed angry at his mother when they hadn't met before. “Who are you?” The woman raised her eyebrows perfectly. “I'm Hendrix's mother. How
“Margaux?” Roxanne gasped as soon as the door opened in front of the and revealed Margaux with a man. “W-why are you here?!” Hendrix watched how Margaux stiffened the moment she noticed them. Their eyes met but she immediately avoided him as if she was guilty for being caught. As she should' be! He thought. She was leaving a hotel suite with another man, which only meant she was cheating on him! His headache was getting severe as he thought of the possible things they had done inside that room! “Fvck. I won't forgive you!” he screamed and right away, his fist instantly landed on the guy's face. “Cali!” Margaux screeched and quickly attended to the guy. “Are you okay?” she asked worriedly. Then, her head whipped at Hendrix and glared at him, “What the heck is wrong with you?! Why did you punch Cali?!” she snarled at him. Hendrix's eyes were blazing in anger. He didn't leave his eyes to the guy who was wiping the blood on his lips. “What did you do to my wife?” he glowered. “H
To say she was shocked was understatement. It was not even that because she was actually terrified. “What are you saying, Hendrix? Didn't you already sign the divorce paper? Your mother already filed that with me,” said the old woman. Margaux got frozen upon hearing that. She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry as she felt her body suddenly turn numb. “What?” Hendrix hissed in disbelief. Roxanne's mother smiled gently at him, “I was with her when she filed it. She said you asked her to do it since you were to busy with the company” Before Hendrix could react, someone had already pulled her back inside the suite. Everything was so fast that she felt dizzy and disoriented. “I knew he's up to no good,” Daisy commented. “C'mon, move there and treat my wound!” Cali whined as he nudged her. Margaux blinked several times before finally realizing she was back inside the suite. She quickly went to the bathroom and took the first aid kit. “Be my nurse since it's because of you why
The Montello's manor was very busy for the whole week. A lot of famous people who expertised in organizing big events were hired to make sure that the welcome party was meticulously organized and successful. “I don't remember this place had been this busy before,” Daisy commented as she sat on her chair with professional artists doing her hair and make-up. “This is so refreshing,” she giggled. Everyone agreed while those professionals sighed in excitement as it was their first time coming to the Montello's manor and had a glimpse of their wealth with their very eyes. Their land was so huge it can even be considered a small country inside London. The backyard was such a sight to see that pictures from postcards will be ashamed of. But the highlight was the manor, where they were standing at the moment. It was like a castle with real golds and diamonds that were used as the highlight design of the walls and structures. “How many people have confirmed their attendance by the way? Da
Hendrix didn't know why but he was excited coming to the party that night. As he finished fixing his hair and straightened his expensive suit, he took a last glance at the mirror and was ready to go. “Are you going now?” Roxanne queried. He frowned upon seeing the woman waiting outside his door. “What are you doing here?” he asked sternly. His eyes squinted as he looked at the woman who was fully dressed. He didn't know if they were also invited to the welcome party and he didn't care about it at all. What he didn't understand was why she was waiting there as if they were going to the event together. “I won't go with you if that's why you are here,” he said without waiting for her to answer and walked past her immediately. “Wait!” Roxanne blocked him. Hendrix glared at her, if not for the fact that she's pregnant, he would've pushed her already. “Say it now and don't waste my time,” he said impatiently. He's not the person who's fond of small talk. More importantly, he hates
Hendrix wasn't interested in the successor of Don Geromino. His priority at that moment was Margaux and nothing else. And even when he pulled his mother on the other side faraway from his wife, his eyes were fixated on her, never leaving his gaze on her as if she would disappear if he did. The host of the party was already speaking and everyone was quiet and listening intently to what he was saying except for him. His full attention was with the most beautiful and gorgeous woman he had ever laid his eyes on. His throat went dry when his eyes went down on that burgundy dress that hugged her body. But his jaw almost dropped on the floor when she suddenly turned around and showed her almost naked back. ‘Why was she wearing a backless suit?!’ his mind was going to explode. The diamond crisscross strap on her back shone brightly, desperately begging for attention. Hendrix drew a heavy breath. He badly wanted to go to her and covered her with his blazer. But then his brows knitted toget
It took a while before Margaux finally answered. That's why after saying those words, loud cheers and laughter erupted inside the manor. The place became unusually very lively, far from the traditional formal parties that everyone had to be calculated with their every move. Margaux smiled and looked at her father, “But even if I'm single, I don't think I'm available,” she added. Don Geronimo laughed heartily. He then rested his hand around her shoulder, “Don't worry, Princess, we'll support whatever you do. You're of age now. I think it's time to search for your future husband,” he said meaningfully. “Uncle, Margaux is actually looking for a boyfriend right now!” Daisy shouted which caught everyone's attention. Margaux glared at her, but Daisy just winked in return. While Saab and Dinah were chuckling on her side whilst looking at her. “Really? Well then, that's good news right?” asked Don Geromino. “That's the greatest news I've ever heard!” someone shouted from the crowd. All
