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
She immediately averted her gaze as she felt her cheeks burning in an instant upon hearing his words. It was too corny for her liking but she could not help but she felt her insides were tingling in giddiness.‘Why did he suddenly become so mushy?!’ her mind screamed inwardly. She shut her eyes as she could feel the tidbits of perspiration on her forehead. Her stomach was churning and her system was in chaos sending alerts to every part of her body. She did not peg Hendrix to be that kind of man for she had only seen him as a very serious and hard working person who only knew work and did not know how to have fun. It was crazy that she knew him for years yet the moment she left him and came back to her home country for good, that was when the guy’s showed her a different side of him. “Love..” he mumbled. His voice was deep and hoarse. It sounded so sexy that she almost convulsed because her heart could take the giddiness anymore. Letting out a loud breath, she clutched the hem o
At first, his kisses were very slowly as though he was giving her a chance to stop him and pull away. But eventually, his lips were starting to move aggressively like a hungry madman and even tilted her head to deepen the kiss better. Her eyes automatically shut as the sensation was overwhelming her. It was not their first kiss as Hendrix had been stealing kisses from her ever since he stepped his foot in England. However, the feeling was always new and refreshing every time. It was as if he was kissing her differently, especially at that moment as though he had never kissed her before. “I love you more. I won’t get tired telling you that,” Hendrix murmured before delving his tongue into her mouth. Margaux let out a silent gasp as she felt the electricity in her mouth when their tongue touched. I felt surreal for she still could not believe that it was happening again and there was no guilt or suppression in her system anymore. Slowly, she lifted her hands and snaked around his ne
“Could it be. . .” Daisy trailed off while her gaze shifted to Margaux. 'Let's not accuse anyone without evidence,” Calli quickly said in a very serious tone. The room was filled with brief silence once again. Everyone seemed to be lost in thought including the police.“Do you have in mind who might have held grudges on you, Mr Mondragon?” One of the officers queried. Margaux turned her gaze back to Hendrix and saw his expression changed. His eyes were dark and dangerous, very opposite when he was looking at her just a few minutes ago. Hendrix’s jaw then clenched, “There is one,” he muttered. His eyes then shifted to her which made her heart almost jump out of its ribcage. ‘He’s not thinking it’s me, right?’ she thought nervously. Although she admitted that she hated him to the core, it was already in the past and she will never harm him, not even wish anything bad to happen to him. “Can you tell us who?” The officer inquired. She clenched her fist tightly and bit her lips so
