“I thought this routine had reached its end,” Daisy stated as she entered the VIP room where her cousins had been hanging out for the past week. Her face contorted upon seeing Margaux already half emptied the bottle of liquor in her hand. “I’m starting to think that you are already an alcoholic, babe,” she commented as she sat next to her. “She chugged down the bottle right away as soon as it was served,” Dinah said. Her eyebrows then raised as she looked at Daisy knowingly, “Did something happen again?”Daisy let out a dramatic sigh while shaking her head, “I just heard Hendrix showed up in her office earlier,” she shrugged. She knew what happened exactly as Margaux’s secretary called her when the latter decided to invite Roxanne Roswell to her office. The guy was just being cautious and thought that it was better to let her and her uncle know about it in case something bad will happen. And something bad happened indeed. She did not have the whole information but knowing that t
Hendrix did not waste his time. After thinking thoroughly about what was happening, he immediately left his suite and drove to the palace to confront the King. Giro called again to inform him about what he had gathered upon further investigation. It wasn’t not much and still had no direct proof that Roxanne was being supported by the King, but the information his friend had told him was safe to conclude that it was the King. Without thinking twice, as soon as the call ended, he left his suite to go to the Palace to confront him. He did not need to collect any proof to show it to him for he was sure they wouldn't have one even if he pays thousands of private investigators to search for it because of that person’s authority and connections. Roxanne’s case was way too differ than his situation because the woman was a real criminal who did worse things in the Philippines. She should not be able to get out of jail because of that, what more to leave the country because of that, but th
“What do you mean Hendrix is in the hospital?” Daisy scowled while her mobile phone was pressed on her left ear. She immediately glanced at Margaux who was peacefully sleeping on her bed. Biting the bottom of her lips, she tried to cover the mobile phone as if her cousin would hear whatever the caller was going to say. “Hendrix met with an accident. The car he was driving was crashed by a speeding SUV and hit the wall with a huge impact,” the caller answered without beating the bushes. Her hands turned cold as her lips quivered. She immediately left Margaux’s room as her insides were shaking. They just got home and she was already exhausted from convincing Margaux to stop drinking and take a rest. The woman was being difficult and wanted to see Hendrix right away, but they did not allow her because they wanted her to be in the right state of mind when she faced her husband. But after hearing her secretary’s report, her mind suddenly went blank as her chest suddenly tightened. “A
Margaux stirred from her sleep as she felt thirsty. Still heavily drunk, she did not want to leave her bed and just go back to sleep, but she suddenly heard a noise from outside. Not interested in whatever was happening outside, she covered herself with the blanket. However, her throat felt so dry which was uncomfortable. That's why having no choice, she sat up with a loud grunt. She dragged her feet towards the door grumpily. She could just call and ask their servants to bring her a glass of water but despite being drunk, she did not want to disturb them thinking that they were already fast asleep. Her eyes were still closed as she opened the door, but then it instantly snapped open upon hearing Hendrix’s name.“What did you say?” Margaux’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed as she squinted her eyes. Her parents and cousins were all gathered outside her room but she did not think of any reason as to why they were there. All she could think about was Hendrix at that moment. “Margaux,
“I think it will be better for you to remain angry with him and not want to see him again for now..” Daisy muttered. Margaux fell asleep as soon as her eyes closed and did not hear it clearly. She immediately fell into a deep slumber that she failed to see how her cousin broke down beside her. The next day came, and she overslept. When she woke up, she was alone in her bed that she thought it was just a dream that her cousins had a sleepover there. She grunted as she felt a splitting headache which made her stay still and refused to get up. “You're finally awake,” the door opened and her cousin, Dinah, appeared. “Would you like a breakfast in bed or you will join us for lunch downstairs?” she queried. Shaking her head, she shut her eyes again. “Where’s Daisy?” she asked instead. After hearing no response, she opened her eyes and looked at her cousin. Her eyebrows then furrowed upon seeing Dinah’s serious face.“Didn’t she sleep over here too?” she frowned. Dinah let out a heav
Margaux’s body went frigid upon hearing Hendrix’s name. Her mind went blank as her insides were shaking.‘Hendrix?’ she thought. But then she quickly shook her head, denying that she just heard the name wrong. It must be a different name and only sounded the same as Hendrix. There was no way he would be the patient there since she had just met him yesterday and he was very healthy. That’s just absurd. However, there was a nagging feeling in her and she knew she wouldn’t be at peace thinking about that. She was about to ask the nurse for confirmation, but she realized the two were already quite far from the elevator as well as the elevator was only a few gaps to close.She closed and opened her hands repeatedly, not trying anything to call them out. Her gaze was fixated at the closed doors while her head was in mess. ‘What if it’s really him?’ her mind kept questioning. She tried to let that slide and just diverted her attention to her cousin. But unfortunately, that nagging feelin
She narrowed her eyes on her, and became suspicious all of a sudden. Then Daisy laughed heartily, “Why would I fake my pregnancy? I’m not the desperate one who wanted to be tied with Jack, just so you know” She stared at her cousin incredulously. She almost thought that she was not pregnant because the way she said those things sounded like she was implying that it was all a lie. The mood has completely turned light as though they were not in hospital because of that. For the meantime, she forgot all her concerns and worries as she got excited with the unborn child. Everyone finally arrived but the atmosphere suddenly changed. Margaux was not sure what it was but she had a bad feeling about it. Daisy, like always, was the one who led the conversation as though nothing had happened to her and she was not the one who was admitted in the hospital. “Have you two already talked about the wedding?” Calli inquired. She was not interested at first because still had not recovered from h
Her body instantly froze when that person glanced towards her direction. She blinked several times to check if she was not just seeing things, but the elevator had closed completely before she could confirm it. “I really need a rest now..” she muttered while shaking her head profusely. Just then, she noticed that Dinah was not able to keep up with her and was left out. She let out an exasperated sigh. Her mind was in haze. While waiting for the elevator to reach the ground floor, she had decided that she would just wait for her cousin in the lobby. However, the door suddenly opens and Doctor Pablo was revealed. “Margaux?” the doctor frowned, surprised to see her there. “I thought you were still on vacation,” he said. Her eyebrows knitted together as she was confused with what he said at first. But eventually, she realized that she hadn’t reported yet in the hospital and was only going to their main office. “I've already been back in the office for almost two weeks. I'm sorry I h
