“What is he doing there?” Daisy pointed at the television when Josh suddenly appeared on the stage. “We just met him next door not more than half an hour ago! How did he get there so fast? Did he teleport?” Her cousin asked in disbelief. Even her asked the same questions in her head as the guy was so fast. But also it finally made sense why he immediately left when Daisy shooed him away. “They are just in the next building,” Sue answered nonchalantly. “And how did you know?” Dinah raised an eyebrow. Sue grinned, “Because I was the one who booked that place for him,” he replied casually. There was a collective gasp from everyone, excluding her. Instead of gasping, the creases on her forehead just deepened as she stared sharply at Sue. “Be honest, did you threaten him to do that?” Dinah scowled. Margaux never left her gaze to Sue as she waited for his answer. Her chest thumped wildly as she was nervous that he probably did that. If that’s the case, whatever Josh would say in the
“Who is that?” Calli queried. Daisy rolled her eyes before she glared at her brother. “Roxanne Roswell, the crazy lady who pretended to be pregnant and claimed herself as Hendrix’s mistress to lure Margaux to sign the divorce paper,” she answered. Margaux pursed her lips upon hearing that. Her blood boils as she remembers the very reason why she hated that woman to the core. “What about her?” Sue asked. Daisy glanced at her direction as though telling her that it was her turn to speak. She let out a heavy breath before she looked at her mother who was also staring at her intently. “She went to Hendrix’s room and was accusing me that I was the one who planned that accident for Hendrix,” she shook her head. “She did that?” Sue stood up and was ready to fight. Daisy scoffed, “She did. That’s why I asked her for evidence and told her if she could not provide one, we're gonna sue her for false accusation and defamation..” “Why do we need to wait? We will file it now,” Dinah stated
She did not know why. But she felt her mother’s smile had a different meaning. Twisting her lips, she shook her head not wanting to overthink about it. “Okay,” she responded, stretching her lips and returning the smile. The topic immediately changed when Sue asked about the updates regarding the driver of the car who hit Hendrix’s car. She just listened to them in silence. Although she wanted to be involved and hands-on with the investigation, she knew her father wouldn’t allow her because aside from it’s exhausting, it’s quite risky and dangerous. “Can we eat now?” Daisy asked after they learned that there’s still no lead with the investigation. “You can eat those,” Margaux said, then pointed to the paper bag that Wilma gave. Her cousin narrowed her eyes on, “It’s for you,” she stated. She rolled her eyes in return, knowing full well that Daisy was teasing her. Shaking her head, she turned to her mother and just ignored her cousin. “Can I have heavy meals now?” She asked. “
Margaux turned her head towards the bed and saw Hendrix was already awake. Her eyebrows furrowed as she stared at him, thinking why he had already woken up when he had just slept half an hour ago. “Why are you already awake?” She queried. Hendrix smiled at her. The creases on her forehead deepened as she wondered what was missing in him. But then she almost stood up upon realizing that he took off the oxygen mask. “Why did you take that off? Take it back! You won’t be able to breathe!” She said in hysteria. Her chest was thumping hard as she panicked seeing him without those oxygen mask. The doctor had warned her not to take that off yet because his breathing was still unstable. “Relax. I’m okay now,” Hendrix responded and chuckled weakly. But then, almost instantly he coughed loudly which made her nervous and quickly pressed the emergency button to call the nurses. “Wear that oxygen mask again!’ she ordered and stood up. Although her body was still feeling weak, she forced h
What? Her mind turned blank upon hearing that. That single word ‘too’ kept ringing in her ears. She then kept questioning herself if her tongue slipped and unconsciously told him that she loved him. Meanwhile, Hendrix stretched widely.His eyes were sparkling and if not for the tube attached to him and those brushes and bandages on his face, arms and legs, she will think that he was faking the accident because he looked so happy lying on that bed.“I love you so much, too..” he said, this time a little louder. She stood there frozen while her gaze got fixated on him. Their faces were just an inch gap in between each other as she was still leaning down on him while his hand was on her nape. “I love you also. Can you hear me?” Hendrix repeated. She felt like she was getting insane as she was so confused about the situation. Her mind was in chaos, trying to wrack her brain out to remember if she said it to him or Hendrix was just messing with her. When she felt Hendrix shaking her,
Hendrix cursed internally upon hearing that very familiar and annoying voice. Among all the time he should get in, that freak really chose when Margaux was finally letting him kiss her! “Aren't you supposed to be in the Philippines and managing my company? Why are you here?” he scowled. He threw him a deadly glare before turning his gaze back to Margaux. His eyes then instantly softened as he saw her still in shock while staring at him. “Sorry about that,” he mumbled, He gave her a quick peck on the lips before and on the forehead before lying back on the bed without cutting his gaze off of her. Letting out a heavy sigh, he grabbed her hand and gently squeezed it. “Hendrix! Explain this to me, now!” Giro demanded. Hendrix’s eyes squinted as he looked at his friend. “Shut up! Go back to the Philippines. I don’t need you here,” he hissed. “You’re so bad! I came here for you and that’s what you are going to say to me?!” His friend responded. He shook his head in annoyance as he
What the fvck was that?! Hendrix stared at the closed door sharply as though he was digging a hole in it. He’s got curious as to who had hired him and why he was not telling it to him. ‘Why is that bastard keeping it a secret to me? Seriously?’ he thought. His gaze just broke from the door when he heard a loud sigh from Margaux. “Who is that?” She queried. Hearing it, his thick eyebrows deeply furrowed as his eyes shifted on her. He was puzzled because as far as he could remember, Margaux already met Giro and his other friends during the wedding. “You don’t remember him?” He asked back. Margaux shook her head in response. His lips pursed tightly and his jaw clenched. He was angry with himself as it was reminded of how jerk he was towards her during their marriage. A good husband would introduce his wife to his friends. Shaking his head profusely, he shut his eyes and drew out a heavy breath. He was worse than his mother because at least her mother also visited her ev
Margaux said it almost to herself. Her heart was beating erratically and she immediately looked away after saying that as she felt so embarrassed confessing her feelings to the man she had been pushing away and claimed to loathe. She froze when she suddenly felt a hand cupping her face and gently tilting her head back to his direction. “I thought I’m not going to hear it from you..” Hendrix said in a hoarse voice. Her chest was drumming wildly as she stared at him. His face looked so bright and his eyes were sparkling like those stars in the sky which was almost blinding her. Hendrix chuckled, “I thought I’m just going to rely on what your cousin told me..” he added.Her eyebrows instantly furrowed. Though her heartbeat was still beating abnormally, she could not help but think again about what Sue had told him that made him react that way. “What did he say?” She queried curiously. Her eyes narrowed a little upon seeing Hendrix’s lips stretched widely. She was not sure but she
