‘Closure?’ Margaux was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat and her inside went riot as they all protested upon hearing that word. It was a taboo word for her and her brain just exploded.‘Do I want it?’ she thought to herself. However, she quickly shook her head by instinct and stepped backwards again. “Margaux..” Hendrix finally spoke. Her body stiffened. She stood there like a statue. Her heart almost drop while her eyes turned wide as saucers as she stared at Hendrix. She did not know why but she suddenly got scared hearing his voice and she just wanted to hide from him. “Can I… come in?” he queried. Her lips parted and jaw almost drop on the floor. Subconsciously, she clutched the bathrobe she was wearing. However, before she could refuse, her mother already pushed Hendrix inside her room and smiled at her. “You two need to talk. Don’t worry about your father,” her mother stated then winked at her before closing the door. She was beyond shock. Her eyes remained on the clos
The silence was killing Hendrix. He buried his face on the crook of her neck and squeezed her body tighter as he took a deep breath. “Love..” he mumbled. He felt Margaux flinched but still, she remained silent and unmoving. She was so stiff as if he was hugging a statue, cold and immobile. His heart sank thinking that she was really not interested in whatever he was saying. Shutting his eyes, he bit the bottom of his lips and nuzzled his nose against the skin off her neck. Her porcelain skin was so soft and smooth. She also smelled so good that it was slowly awakening his desire. If she stayed unmoving, he would just take advantage of it, he thought. However, before he could even start his plan, Margaux seemed to hear his mind and quickly removed his hands off her waist. She also stepped away, leaving a huge distance between them as though he had a contagious disease. “Leave now if you have nothing to say,” she said sternly.His body instantly froze. His eyes went a little wide
It was hard, but Hendrix tried his best to suppress his feelings from bursting out. His eyes were already damp and bloodshot while her insides were on the verge of dying. But still, he managed to keep a straight face in front of her. Looking up, he took a deep breath and sighed loudly. His gaze went back to Margaux and saw her looking stunned while staring at him in utter disbelief. ‘Why does she seem shocked though? Is that what she badly wanted?’ he thought to himself. Forcefully stretching his lips, he tried to give her a reassuring smile. However, he was not a good actor, thus his smile probably scared her rather than assuring her. Just by the look on her pretty face, it seemed like she could tell that he was just faking it. “Please do it now,” she muttered after a long excruciating silence. His eyes flickered as tears almost fell upon hearing her response. All his hope disappeared in an instant as well as his biggest dream just shattered into pieces in just a snap.Margaux’s
“Miss Margaux?” Carlos quickly stood from his chair and hastily walked towards her with brows furrowed. “Why are you here?” he queried in disbelief. Margaux raised her eyebrows as she looked at her secretary, “I’m here to work, isn't it obvious?” she responded.Her secretary tilted his head and stared at her as if something was wrong with her, “Work? Aren't you still on leave?” She could see the confusion on her secretary’s face. Indeed, she was supposed to be on vacation as her two months leave was not yet done. However, she didn't think she would ever enjoy traveling and such after what happened the other night. Shaking her head, she flashed him a fake smile, “I miss working,” she replied curtly then walked ahead to her office. Carlos immediately ran past her and opened the door for her. She muttered a small thank you before entering the room. Her eyes wandered around, looking at the spacious room that had obviously not been used for the past few weeks. “Bring all the papers I
Her hands froze from skimming the documents while her heart skipped a beat. Her eyes flickered but she immediately blinked several times and just cleared her throat. “Good for him,” she said blankly. She kept her eyes on the documents although her focus was already out of it. “Seriously, babe?” Daisy retorted. “Stop deceiving yourself, will you?” her voice sounded frustrated. Pursing her lips, she lifted her eyes and scowled at her cousin, “Who says I am deceiving myself?” she queried. Her cousin arched her eyebrow perfectly as she gave her a scrutinizing look. “You don't?” Margaux quickly shook her head in response. Daisy squinted her eyes but did not say anything anymore. All the three of them walked to the sofa and sat there comfortably. “You're okay not seeing him anymore?” Dinah inquired. She pressed her lips tightly as her jaw clenched. She didn't want to answer that because she was sure they would know that she was only lying. And it won't justify what she had just tol
“Don’t say that,” Daisy retorted. She then put her hands on her shoulder and shook her body a little. “It’s either you’ll be happy or miserable, there was no neither nor in between,” she stated. Margaux shook her head and flashed a bitter smile. “You don’t understand,” she mumbled. “Then explain and make us understand what you are feeling right now. We’re in this together okay?”She did not respond. Her heart melted at their concerns but still she was doubtful that they could really help her. “Babe..” Saab suddenly called her name. She looked up and met her younger cousin’s gaze. Saab’s innocent eyes almost stunned her. She was the youngest among them so she never said anything whenever they were in a serious talk regarding old people’s problems. Although no one was stopping her to speak up, her cousin just chose to stay silent and always says that she was not experienced enough to have a say. But at that moment it was different, which surprised not only her but Dinah and Daisy a
Her cousins apologized after her outburst. It was hard to admit it because of her pride, but she was glad that she finally let it out because the heavy feeling inside her chest had finally been lifted. The three left her alone in the office after making sure that she was already okay and had calmed down. They said that they will fetch her later to have a drink after the office hours and even assured that they would finally let her drown herself to alcohol to forget for a while. She was a little happy with that because it was really hard to be sober knowing the fact that the person she almost died for will no longer be around and have completely given up chasing her. “Miss Margaux?” Carlos softly knocked on the door. Her eyebrows raised, thinking why he sounded so cautious. “Come in,” she answered. The door then opened which made her eyebrows knitted together. But as soon as she saw his face, she finally remembered what he told him about not entering her office. “I am not sure if
Upon hearing that, she immediately straightened on her seat and her body then froze.“What?!” her eyes went round as her jaw almost dropped on the floor while staring at her secretary in utter disbelief. Meanwhile, Carlos, her secretary, seemed to contemplate whether to tell her more regarding it. “I haven’t asked someone from the courthouse to confirm it, but the old woman was very confident when she said that while waving the marriage certificate in her hand,” Carlos stated. Clenching her fists, she shook her head profusely. “Impossible!” she exclaimed and gritted her teeth. There was no way that the marriage certificate was real. Because she was the one who prepared everything for their wedding and she only used her fake identification with all the transactions she made during the process. So how come those were authentic when the original copy was in her safety box?Suddenly, she wanted to go home and check it in her room. “Do you want me to confirm it?” Carlos asked cautiou
