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
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
The chief officer stepped forward“I can’t assure you about that, Miss Margaux. My team is the one assigned for Mr Mondragon’s case..” he stated. Margaux tilted her head. “Then I will ask for a formal turn over,” she responded. She watched how the chief’s face dimmed. She knew it would not be easy for it was their field of work she was going to meddle with. But she was skeptical. Those people did not seem trustworthy as Daisy had mentioned about the special treatment they gave to Roxanne. “We are not going to stop you. But I am advising you that you should not expect too much,” the officer muttered. Daisy sighed dramatically. “Don't worry, we will make sure that the assigned team for Hendrix’s case will be fair and just,” she said. Margaux did not bother looking at the officers’ reaction and quickly shifted her gaze to Hendrix. Her husband seemed very serious but when their eyes met again, his face suddenly lit up. “Do you want to rest now?” She queried. He was still recoverin
“Are we disturbing you?’ Daisy raised an eyebrow at her. Margaux cleared her throat as she averted her gaze. She wanted to hit Hendrix for taking her in that position but she couldn’t turn her gaze back nor even glance at his direction again. “Take a rest now. I have something to discuss with my family outside,” she said dismissively then stood up. She forgot that her foot was still injured. Hence, she almost stumbled as soon as she stood up. Fortunately, Hendrix was quick and was able to hold her arm before she fell and stumbled on the ground. “Careful!” He said. “Oh my! Are you okay, babe?” Daisy and Dinah immediately went to her and helped her sit back on the edge of the bed. She shut her eyes and heaved a deep breath. “I’m fine,” she answered, although she felt like her sprained foot had completely broken at the moment. “You don’t look okay. Don’t lie to us,” Hendrix said sternly.At that time, he was already up and was sitting straight next to her while staring at her with
