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

    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

    Margaux’s eyes almost popped out of its socket upon hearing Hendrix’s confession. It was the first time she heard of it as she almost forgot about it ever happening. All along she thought it was just an accident. But it turned out that she was really the target!“We already checked her background and we found nothing. There was no crime record on her,” one of the officers was quick to say it. Hendrix clicked his tongue. His annoyance was very evident but he remained polite. “Your investigation team then is not really competent. We have evidence that she was in jail as soon as she was deported from here just a few months ago,” Daisy interjected. “Miss Hermani. Please do not underestimate our team. We are doing our best to do our job–”“Your job is to protect the innocent and capture the criminals. Are you sure you are really doing your job right?” Her cousin retaliated. “Daisy,” Calli gave his sister a warning look. Meanwhile, Margaux was still in shock. Her mind was still proces

    Hendrix's thick furrowed eyebrows became permanent as he buried his face on paper works. His workaholic self just couldn't help finishing them all before he went home. “Sir, it's past nine already,” Tom, his secretary, stated. “You can go home now,” he responded without lifting his head. Tom looked hesitant as he stared at his boss who was busy signing the documents. He could leave just as he told him to, but he knew his future would be at risk if he did not drag his boss out of his office. Standing there, he took a deep breath and was prepared to say the magic word when all of a sudden, a loud ring erupted in the whole office. Hendrix stopped whatever he was doing and scowled at his mobile phone resting on the corner of his desk. His face was dark as though he was displeased that he's got interrupted with his work. “Let me see, you're still in the office, am I right?” the caller said without any greetings. Hendrix didn't need to ask who was on the other line. His annoyin

    The manor was very busy as everyone seemed to be panicking as the time was running. But Margaux seemed oblivious as she was busy staring at herself in a huge mirror. Her heart was thumping hard. ‘This is it,” she told herself internally. The white beautiful wedding dress that was full of tiny diamonds was sparkling, almost blinding her eyes. Her hair was tied up in a very neat bun with some hair strands curled beautifully decorating her small face. While her makeup was just light, almost bare showing her natural beauty that made everyone in the room bewitched as they all looked at her. “Miss Margaux, it’s time to walk down the aisle,” the organizer announced. Margaux glanced over herself one more time before leaving the room. The organizer gave her the beautifully arranged white bouquet with a huge grin.“Mr Mondragon is so lucky,” she muttered with pure admiration. She did not respond and just gave her a small smile. Her stomach was churning as her chest was about to explode. S

    Margaux crossed her arms as she leaned on the back rest of the sofa, staring at the woman in front of her. She woke up alone and everyone in the manor was nowhere to be found aside for Liana who was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room while having a cup of tea as she descended the stairs. “Babe,” Liana flashed a small smile. Her eyebrows raised as she had no idea what her cousin was doing in their manor. As far as she could remember, she was left in the Philippines so she thought she would stay there and will never have the guts to show her face again out of remorse. ‘I forgot that she’s shameless,’ she thought and rolled her eyes. “I know you never wish to see me again,” Liana muttered. “You know but you still show up here,” she replied sarcastically. The princess let out a sigh then shook her head. Seeing that, Margaux thought she was going to retort a sarcastic remark and grin mockingly at her like she always does before. However, she’d seen none of it, rather

    “I want to give her a grand wedding in front of all of you, her family and friends,” Hendrix added. He was looking straight to Don Geronimo as he said those words with a very serious face. However, the corner of his lips lifted upon seeing Margaux’s reaction in his peripheral vision. “You’re already married,” Don Geronimo stated. Hendrix's lips pursed as he brought his attention back to the old man. “But it didn't feel right. I married her as Margaux Hermani and I want to correct that“ “Hendrix..” Margaux muttered. He finally looked at her direction and saw her flustered face and teary eyes. She probably didn't expect that and had a doubt about his plan. Stepping forward, he cupped her face and stared into her blue eyes. “I want to make this right,” he muttered. Then he put down his hands and shoved one onto the pocket of his jeans whilst slowly kneeling down in front of her. A loud gasp came from Margaux as he pulled out the velvet box and revealed a huge diamond ring.

    “You're blooming,” Daisy smirked as soon as they entered the dining room. Margaux’s face turned hot in an instant. She then threw her cousin a sharp glare on which the latter just laughed it off. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just stating a fact,” Daisy said and gave her a malicious grin. She rolled her eyes and did not say anything. Instead, she took her seat and looked around the table to see that they were complete except her parents, who were probably still in the hospital. “You should take the seat next to your wife,” she heard her uncle say. Her eyebrows raised as the only vacant seat next to her was his father's chair. “I don't think that's right,” Hendrix muttered as he stood still behind her chair. “Just take that seat and eat. It's just a chair,” her uncle Daniel insisted. Knowing that her husband won't do it for his respect for her father, she let out a sigh before glancing over her shoulder. “You can take that chair. No one will mind,”

    “Are you tired?” Hendrix queried as they cuddled under the blanket. ‘I am exhausted!’ Margaux’s mind screamed internally. Her face was burning and kept her eyes closed recalling what they had just done. It was not the first time anymore but it still felt new to her. Moreso, the experience was entirely different from the first one as she thought Hendrix didn't strain himself anymore which made her whole body sore. She felt his soft lips touch her forehead and a soft whisper of ‘I love you’ tingles her left ear. He then tightened his hold on her and pressed her body to his even more as if he was afraid to have even a tiniest gap between them. “Love..” he murmured. Curiously, Margaux slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. But before she could say something, Hendrix quickly leaned in closer and claimed her lips. Gasping, she opened her eyes and reluctantly pushed him away. “I can't do it anymore,” she mumbled. She averted her gaze as her face became hotter. She had no qualms

    “Call all the doctors, quick!” she exclaimed as she kneeled down next to Hendrix. Her heart just stopped beating upon seeing his unconscious body. She didn't know where to touch him as she was afraid she might hurt him even more. “Love! Open your eyes, please! Don't sleep!” she cried. She could feel her cousin was trying to calm her but her emotions exploded that she could not hear anything anymore. “Babe, calm down!” Daisy shook her. “Love, please!” she pleaded. Her hands were shaking as she placed her palms on his chest. Although she could feel his heartbeat, still she cannot calm down seeing him unconscious with blood almost covering his shirt. “Let me check his wounds,” Felissa muttered. Reluctantly, she moved away and let her mother check where the gunshot was. She was holding her breath as she was trying to prepare for whatever she was going to see. However, as soon as her mother lifted Hendrix's shirt, loud gasps reverberated in the room and followed by loud laughter.

    “Aren’t you afraid that he might let that woman free?” Felissa inquired. Margaux heaved a sigh. Then, a small smile flashed her face as she looked at her mother. “I trust that he won’t do it, Mom..” she replied. Her mother stared at her for a long second before she responded. “What if he betrayed you?” she asked critically. She did not know if her mother was just testing her. But her question did not really come across her mind. After learning what happened from the nurse that was supposed to kill her, she knew right then that Hendrix did not really mean to shoot her. He was aiming for Doctor Pablo, not her. That’s why as soon as he tried to approach her, she did not hesitate to send him with that woman. She was that confident that he would come back to her, not thinking about other possibilities that he had other motives. Looking away, she curled her fingers as she was starting to doubt her decision. But then she shook her head immediately and lifted her chin as she returned her

    Margaux quickly shifted her head towards the door as soon as she heard it shut. Her shoulders slumped while she heaved a deep sigh. “Why did you make him leave and feel disappointed now?” Her father queried. She pursed her lips. Seriously, she didn’t know why she did that. Probably because she was not ready to face him yet. She took a deep breath once again and looked at her father. “Did you already know about Doctor Pablo?” She asked instead. Don Geronimo raised his eyebrows. His eyes lit up, prolly seeing her intention of changing the topic. “I had suspicion, but never thought he could actually do that to us,” he shook his head. Margaux’s eyes narrowed as she stared at her father. His actions and facial expression were so contradictory that she could not help but be skeptical. “Really?” She tilted her head and crossed her arms. She did trust her father, but at that moment, she could not help but doubt his words. Meanwhile, Don Geronimo suddenly laughed boisterously. “You’r
