“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
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
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
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
“She showed the invitation card I made as a proof and even showed candid pictures of you and her son in the hospital, saying how worried you were and you have been crying the whole time Josh left the operating room,” Daisy continued. Her mouth hung open as she could not believe what she had just heard. It was all a different level of delusion and she could not believe that she would meet such a person like that old woman. Roxanne might be the first, but she failed in comparison with Mrs Garcia. If there was a ranking, she was just an amateur as she could only work secretly in the dark. “And as expected, it immediately blew up and quickly toppled the number trending topic in all social media platforms,” her cousin shook her head in annoyance. “Your face was all over the internet world, but what really angered me is that she had the audacity to call Uncle to back her up!”“What?!” she exclaimed.She almost stood up from her seat and slammed the dining table. Fortunately, she was able
“Are you crazy? Why the heck would you think that I would even consider that?!” Margaux hissed. She was hysterical as Daisy's suggestion was so ridiculously! Throwing her cousin a piercing gaze, she stood up and walked away. “Margaux!”“Babe!” She heard her cousins calling her but she played a deaf ear. It was not an exaggeration to be angry over a suggestion because she thought Daisy was being too much. She felt disrespected by hearing her suggestion and overstepping the boundary. Just because they were blood related and tight knit close with each other, didn't mean she had all the right to do everything with her that was already affecting her mentally. Shaking her head, her lips pressed as tightly as her fists clenched. She understood that Daisy must've failed to realize the depth of her situation as a divorcee because she had been divorce before. And she would never wish it would happen to her for it was not just emotionally exhausting but as well as physically and mentally d
The drive was long and as Sue’s promised, it was very silent because the guy never opened his mouth again the moment they hit the main road. Margaux did not know whether she would feel relieved with that because suddenly, she felt that something was not right, knowing that the cousin of hers was never really the type who can keep his mouth shut. Actually, he was the most talkative amongst them and he never ran out of topics to keep the conversation afloat and the atmosphere light. He was known to be the more sociable person in their peers which was why it was so weird and unusual of him to really keep his promise. Clicking her tongue, she was not able to contain it anymore and finally broke the silence by asking him. “Are you really going to keep your promise?” she queried. Sue glanced at her through the rearview mirror. It was just brief but it did not escape her eyes and saw him smirked. “You can’t take it anymore, huh?” he chuckled. ‘She knew it!’ she thought. Her eyes squin
Fortunately, Sue did not ask further questions and just silently started the car again after she said that. He drove quite fast and they quickly reached Liana’s hotel in no time. “What are we going to do here?” he queried when she immediately stepped out of the car as soon as he parked it in front of the entrance. She did not answer, instead she walked inside the entrance, leaving him puzzled. “Wait for me!” Sue quickly gave the key to the valet then ran after her. Margaux did not look back. She just kept on walking until she reached the elevator. She ignored all the meaningful stares of the people she walked past with and let her eyes look straight ahead. “Since when did you walk so fast?” Sue complained.The elevator door was about to close when suddenly a woman shouted ‘wait’ which her cousin quickly pressed the open button to let the woman in for the last minute. “Thank you! I’m in a hurry because I might not catch my boyfriend if I take the next trip,” the woman enthusiasti
