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
“What are you–” Margaux hadn't finished her sentence yet when Hendrix hastily strode towards her and grabbed her wrist. Her chest pumped wildly as their skin touched. She felt as if she got electrified as soon as the top of his finger came in contact with her skin. “Are you cheating on me?!” Hendrix hissed. Her eyes widened in utter disbelief. “What are you saying? Let me go!” she screamed as her anger flared up in an instant.The audacity of that guy! Who does he think he was?! “Let Margaux's hand go, Mr,” Jack said calmly. He then took Margaux's free hand and pulled her towards him, however, Hendrix didn't let go and pulled her towards him as well. Margaux felt a little disoriented as the two men had a tug of war with her as the rope. “Mind your own business, Mr Simon. This is a marital problem between us. You are out of it,” he said harshly. Margaux threw Hendrix a glare as she yanked her arm away from him with all her strength. “Are you crazy?! What marital problem are yo
Margaux smirked when she watched Wilma's face get drained of blood. She was white as paper and seemingly about to faint any second. Standing on her side was David, who was holding her for support while his eyes were staring coldly at her. “So, why are you talking to them?” Daisy shook her head in displeasure, “Shouldn't you mingle with more important people than hang out with them who are insignificant to us?” her tone was sharp as she deliberately looked at Hendrix's parents while saying it. Margaux's eyes glinted upon seeing David's face darkened. Honestly, just like his son, she hadn't interacted with him even once. Because the old man was just always on the side, silently watching his wife throwing insults at her. When she felt someone hold her hand, Margaux finally averted her gaze from Hendrix's parents and looked at her aunt Belinda. “Come here, Sweetie. Let's just catch up,” Belinda said softly then gently pulled her away from the crowd. Just like what Daisy said, aside
“Secretary?” Margaux raised her eyebrows then stared at Roxanne. She didn't know what to react as it would just finally make sense as to why Hendrix was practically in his office and only went home to sleep. “His mother begged me to work as his secretary! I agreed because you can't take care of him!” Roxanne defended. Abigail was about to say something but Margaux stopped her. She shook her head to her cousin and smiled at Roxanne. “You don't need to explain. No one is asking you,” she said casually, although deep inside, she was in rage. “Why are you even with us? Do you need anything?” she queried. She smirked when Roxanne was rendered speechless. But it wasn't enough to satisfy her though, because the pain she felt when the woman showed her their pictures and ultrasound was still fresh in her heart. That woman had to feel it too, and the pain should be double that hers. “You're wasting our time,” she shook her head, “We're talking here and you're disturbing us,” she added. “Y
“Margaux! Let's talk! Don't run away from me!” Hendrix's voice rang out but Margaux continued running away and just ignored him. He ran after her, but a loud curse escaped his mouth when he lost her and just disappeared after turning to the left corner.“Margaux!” he screamed. He looked around and checked all the rooms she could possibly be hiding, but he saw nothing as if the woman could teleport somewhere else and disappeared without any trace. ‘This place sure has secret doors,’ he thought. Upon realizing that, he let out an exasperated sigh and shook his head.It was very obvious that Margaux was avoiding him. He just wanted to talk to her and asked her about the fake name she used in their marriage contract. He badly wanted to know her reason why she did that. As he was still in denial that she was not the Margaux he legally married. He continued searching in all corners of each room he entered for the secret passage. However, as he stepped out of the last room he checked,
Margaux stayed in the basement until the party had ended. She was not in the mood to entertain all the guests, so she just let her family do it on her behalf. It was already past two when she finally decided to come out and walk to her room, to make sure that the party was already over and she wouldn't bump into anyone in the living room. Clueless of what happened at the party after she left.However, as soon as she entered her room, she saw her cousins already occupying her huge bed, and seemed to be knocked out from drunkenness. “What should I expect?” she shook her head. She already took a long bath in the basement and changed into comfortable clothes there. And since the three girls were already sleeping in her bed, she just slumped her body on the couch and tried to sleep there. Although she was exhausted, she didn't feel sleepy at all. Her mind was still fully awake as what happened earlier was flashing back vividly. “Did you have fun playing with me?” she could still hear
Her body stiffened as her eyes went a little wider. She clenched her fists and continued walking as if she didn't hear anything. However, as soon as she took one step to the staircase, she heard a loud commotion which made her heart skip a beat. “Foreigners had no right to interfere!” someone screamed followed by women's deafening shrieks and bouncers to run to the direction of where she just came from. Her chest was pounding hard as she marched back at the bar counter. However, a lot of people were blocking her way as they were watching the scene like a movie. “You're harassing my wife! I won't forgive you!” Hendrix's voice erupted. Margaux stood frozen on the spot as she gasped loudly. She wanted to convince herself that she just heard it wrong, but she couldn't deny that voice was indeed from Hendrix. She knew his voice very well. She had that husky and baritone voice recorded to listen every night before they got married. She had it indented in her mind that's why she couldn
