“I don’t know what you are thinking , Sue. That Josh obviously is lying. Look, it’s been days but where is he? He’s probably hiding somewhere by now,” Daisy ranted out after learning of his request to their uncle Geronimo. Sue leaned back on the couch and calmly watched his cousin getting furious. “You’re so impatient. You should stop stressing yourself out, seriously,” he said. Daisy clicked her tongue, “How could I?” She retaliated. “I won’t be relaxed in this situation when I can see Margaux like that?” She then pointed her index finger towards Margaux’s direction. They all turned their heads at where Daisy was pointing at and Sue quickly stood up upon seeing Margaux was already awake. “You’re finally awake,” Sue commented as he approached her. Margaux shook her head and looked away. Just like what she had been doing for the past days, she stared at the ceiling and lost in her thoughts once again. Daisy’s heart constricted as she could not take seeing her cousin like that. Sh
“Please eat more,” Daisy coaxed Margaux as she pushed the spoon to her mouth. Margaux did not move as she already felt nauseated.“Daisy, that’s enough. She should eat just a few as her stomach needs adjusting,” her mother stopped Daisy. Sighing, Margaux carefully laid back on the bed as her body was still weak and she cannot sit for a long time. She did not say anything and just let her mother to talk some sense to Daisy because that cousin of hers wanted to keep feeding her despite knowing the fact that it was risky. “I’m sorry. This must be the hormone,” Daisy muttered. She nodded her head in response. Although she felt a little better at the moment, she was still feeling dizzy as she hadn't fully recovered yet. “How are you feeling now?” Her mother then asked. “Good,” she curtly answered. She chose the safest answer as she has no energy for talking even. All she wanted to do was to go back to sleep after filling her stomach. Her head was blank and she felt like there was
Her body froze upon hearing that. All of a sudden, her energy deflated as if someone had just sucked it out of her body. “Listen to me, Margaux..” her mother pulled away and cupped her face. “Please keep yourself together and be strong. Hendrix needed you the most this time so you shouldn’t shut down again, okay? Please be well..” Her tears were already streaming down her face as all the memories she thought was just a dream were flashing back in her mind like a bomb that suddenly exploded. Unable to say anything, she stared at her mother with an aching heart. “Mom, I want to see him..” her voice was cracking as she mumbled. Felissa let out a heavy sigh and pulled her back into her chest. She did not hear any response from her mother but she knew she was scared that she might loss in herself once again and shut down once she entered the room where Hendrix was confined. She gently pulled away and wiped her tears. Then, she tried to flash a reassuring smile towards her mother to sh
“Hendrix?!” She immediately exclaimed. Her eyes went wide and she almost stood up and run towards his direction, if not for Dinah who was quick enough to put her hands on her shoulders to keep her from moving.“You’re already awake?” She asked incredulously. Hendrix stared at her, there's still a lot of tubes attached to him as well as the oxygen that prevented him from speaking. However, He seemed stunned as his eyes were wide, mirroring hers as if he was shocked to see her as well. “W-when?” she queried. Her tears welled up, feeling relieved to see him looking at her, wide awake, instead of what she was anticipating to see. She wanted to run and hugged him, but her body went frozen, probably because of utter shock. “He woke up last night,” Wilma answered. She started sobbing upon hearing that. She wanted to scream and lash out on the old woman for keeping that information to her but above all, she was so damn ecstatic that she couldn't bring herself to be mad. “Last night? Wh
Hendrix did not say anything as he promised. He just stared at her intently, waiting for her to continue. She wanted to avert her gaze as the way he was staring at her was too intense. “I’m sorry for treating you badly and for always being rude to you. I can’t apologize enough and I know there was no excuse for what I have done to you..” she said. She felt Hendrix retrieved his hand from her hold. Her heart skipped a beat while she suddenly held her breath as her gaze landed on her empty hand. But then it did not last even just ten seconds, for Hendrix suddenly placed his hand on her cheek very gently. “It’s.. okay..” he breathed. Her eyes dampened once again and she felt like a hand also touched her heart as It warmed inside her chest upon hearing those words. “I don’t deserve it,” she muttered as she felt even more guilty. If it was her, she wouldn't let it slide and would never say that it was okay. Because what she had done to him was worse than what he did to her. She pl
They both turned their head on the door and Margaux’s blood instantly boiled upon seeing Roxanne. “What are you doing here?” Roxanne pointed her fingers on Margaux as she halted on her track. “I should be the one to ask you that question,” she retaliated. The woman crossed her hands and snorted. “You’re so shameless. After almost killing Hendrix, you come here to visit him for what? To pretend that you care so he won’t suspect you?” she shook her head and smirked. “Stop the act now, b*tch! The police will come here any minute and they will take you!” Margaux looked at Roxanne incredulously. She did not know if the woman lost some screws in the head or if she was just inborn with a mental disorder. ‘Who in the right mind would think that I could do that?’ she shook her head in disbelief. ‘I wanted him to be deported back to his country but never wished him to d3ad!’ Looking at the woman's arrogant face, she couldn’t help but click her tongue and smirked. “Do you have any proof o
Margaux stared at Hendrix as her face became blank. She did not know whether to believe him but she promised herself that she would not make an assumption that he was lying without investigating first. Shutting her eyes momentarily, she then let out a sigh. “What is he saying, babe?” Daisy queried when she noticed her reaction. She took a deep breath before she shifted her head towards her cousin. “What’s wrong?” Daisy quickly stood up and rushed towards her upon seeing her reaction. Maybe it was written all over her face because she was not really good at hiding her fear and disappointment. She could suppress her tears but her eyes will shine from keeping it from falling. her cousin, of all people, knew when there was something bothering her. “Babe, tell me what it is,” Daisy cooed. Her grip on Hendrix’s hand tightened as she tried her best not to burst out. Hendrix just mentioned her uncle but there was really no context if he was the one who was supporting Roxanne or he mean
“Josh?” She frowned. She momentarily forgot about the stalker incident and was about to greet him, if not for Daisy reminding her about it. “I’m surprised by your audacity to show up here,” her cousin stated. Margaux pursed her lips and averted her gaze. What Josh did was so big that she did not think she could forgive him anymore. She hadn't checked if those pictures were already spread out already, but based on Daisy’s reaction, she was sure that it was and the outcome must be very bad because she won’t say that to him at all.“Margaux, please listen to me..” Josh pleaded, ignoring Daisy. She did not respond and did not even give him a glance. There was no excuse for what he had done and it seriously lost her trust in him completely. “Margaux doesn’t want to talk to you. You may leave now before I call our body guards to drag you out,” Daisy warned. Surprisingly, Josh did not insist on talking to her and just left the room in silence after that. Both Margaux and Daisy were
