“Are you seriously gonna stay here until Josh wakes up?” Daisy queried as soon as she came back to Josh's private room. Margaux folded her arms across her chest then glanced at Josh's unconscious state. Her heart swelled out of pity seeing her childhood friend like that. “I guess so..” she muttered. She heard her cousin let out an exasperated sigh before gently closing the door behind her. Finally looking at Daisy's direction, she saw her contorted face while staring at Josh. “Why?” Daisy mumbled while her eyes were still fixated on the bed. “Why what?” she frowned.She watched her cousin with her eyebrows deeply furrowed as the latter kept staring at Josh as if waiting for the guy to open his eyes. “Daisy,” she called as she couldn't stand watching her anymore. “What is it?” she probed. Her cousin finally retracted her gaze away from Josh and shifted towards her. But her expression didn't change and it actually became more sour as she looked at her. “Why would you stay here a
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 231: Awake
Her heart was pounding hard in anticipation. She felt like crying as her gaze fixated on him.It took a while before Josh had completely opened his eyes and stared back at her. “Margaux, it’s really you..” he said in a very weak and hoarse voice. She hastily walked towards the bed and tearfully held his hand, “You’re finally awake,” she muttered. She was still in shock and disbelief. Her eyes roamed at his body before she let out a sigh of relief. “We have to call the doctors and nurses,” Daisy chimed in. Right then, Margaux quickly pressed the emergency button and in no time, Josh’s doctors and nurses came in. Daisy pulled her out of the room then. She wanted to protest but when she saw how busy the room was, she immediately pressed her lips together and let her cousin drag her out. ‘We need to go home,” Daisy said as soon as they stepped out of the room. Taken aback, she looked at her cousin in disbelief. “We can’t. Josh–”Daisy glared at her, “Do you want to get stuck here
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 232: Expose
Margaux automatically pushed herself up and straightened her body. Her face was burning and her eyes were a little wide as she felt utterly embarrassed at what they had witnessed. Most of all, her chest was thumping so hard because of the man who can already put a hole in her face by the way he sharply stared at her. “Babe?” Daisy muttered. Her hesitant voice made her quickly turn to her cousin’s direction. However, instead of feeling relieved, she became more nervous when she saw her confused expression. “What’s wrong with the patient?” the Doctor inquired, saving the awkward atmosphere in the room. Clearing her throat, Margaux stepped back and lowered her head, “He said he’s in pain..” she muttered. She could feel her cheeks were getting hotter as she realized how awkward it was being caught by them when the guy who was lying on the hospital bed was in pain while she seemed hoarding above him.‘What just happened?!’ she screamed internally. It was too quick and she really di
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 233: Delusion
Mrs Garcia’ss voice reverberated throughout the whole lobby that all people there immediately stopped whatever they were doing and stared at their direction. While the hospital staffs and those who recognized her looked at her with shocked expression. Her steps abruptly halted as her body got frozen. Even Hendrix seemed frozen as well for both of them did not move after that. “That’s defamation,” Daisy stated calmly. “That’s a huge accusation and we can sue you for that, Mrs Garcia..” she added. The lobby became eerily silent after that as if everyone was waiting for the old woman’s response. But the old woman was too dense and absorbed in her delusion that she did not notice the growing audience around and continued with her lies. “You are filing a lawsuit against me for telling the truth?” “Truth? Your son was drunk-driving. He was lucky enough that there was no people there and got hit or else he will go to jail after he recovered” Mrs Garcia did not reply which made Margaux

“What important matter is that? He’s banned in the whole country, he can’t roam around freely unless he wants to get caught and be deported back to the Philippines,” Margaux stated without a pause. She was not able to stop herself and let her mouth run as soon as she heard that he declined going with them and left without even bidding goodbye to her mother. Also, she’s got annoyed by his reason because she can’t think of anything important that he could do rather than hiding from the authorities. ‘Didn’t he say he would stay beside me?’ she thought. Her eyes turned darker and could not help but hissed as she was getting more piss as she thought about him. “I don’t know. I didn’t ask. It is not my business, so.. I did not think it was necessary to ask,” Daisy replied. Her eyes then sparkled as the corner of her lips lifted upward. “Why don’t you call him? You have his number right? Ask what is the important thing he has to do that he refused to go home with us. Also, don’t f
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 235: Worried
She thought she was quick enough to step on the brake and luckily her car did not bump with him. But she was wrong. Her heart was breaking into tiny pieces upon seeing Hendrix’s unconscious body was slumped on the ground. “Hendrix!” she exclaimed as her knees wobbled until she lost all her strength and kneeled down. “H-hey!” she shook his arm. He did not respond which made her hands tremble even more. Her eyes scanned him from head to toe and checked if there were any blood stains but she could not find any. “You’re okay, right? Don’t scare me!” she hissed then shook his body profusely.When there was still no response, she forced herself to stand up but her knees felt numb and had no strength at all. “Stop pretending there and open your eyes! Don’t scare me like this!” she screamed in frustration. She had never felt so scared like that before. What she felt after learning what happened to Josh cannot even compare to what she was feeling at the moment. It was like she was being
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 236: Spill
Margaux went home in a very bad mood. She walked straight to the living room where her parents were waiting and slumped on the sofa adjacent to her parents. “What took you so long?” her father inquired. Her jaw clenched as she did not want to recall what happened in the parking lot of the hospital. But she knew her father won’t start whatever he wanted to talk with her, that’s why she was forced to tell them what happened minus the identity of the victim. She purposely excluded the part that it was Hendrix for she did not want the topic about him to be long. Her mood had depleted drastically and all she wanted to do was be alone and take her mind off of him. “Did you have that person checked?”“I offered, but he declined,” she answered curtly. “Why didn’t you insist? What if it was just a set up and use it against you?” Daisy intervened.She highly doubt it.It was Hendrix after all. What can he do against her? If he tried to report me to the police, she was certain that he woul
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 237: Meeting
Margaux stiffened. She did not know what to answer about that. That question was like the hardest question had ever thrown to her in her entire life. It was harder than when she joined the quiz bee competition because at least there, she studied about it and there was expectation that it would come, while her mother’s question was so unexpected and was so out of the blue. It was not as if she had not considered it before. She actually did, hence the reason why she banned him in the whole country. However, it seemed useless because he was still everywhere and what’s worse? She even gave herself to him. “Think about it, Margaux. Think a lot before you make a decision because not every mistake you do has a chance to be corrected,” her mother stated before gently patting her cheek. “But right now, go upstairs and take a rest first,” she added. She did not say anything and just nodded at her mother. Silently, she walked upstairs and locked herself in her room, knowing that Daisy will f

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 Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 380: Yours
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
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 379: Forgiven
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
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 375: False Alarm
“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.
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 374: Trust
“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
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 373: History
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
