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
“Why are you smiling?” Dinah asked. Instantly, she finally noticed that her lips were stretched so wildly which she immediately wiped off. “Nothing,” she muttered nonchalantly and tried to hasten her steps towards her room. She heard chuckles from her cousins but she just ignored them and pretended that she did not hear anything. Fortunately, the room was only a few steps away. Almost hastily, she opened the door and the faces of her parents along with their other relatives. “I’m going to call the doctor first. Her foot needed a check again,” Daisy said as she followed her inside. “Why are you walking? Where’s your wheelchair?” Felissa scowled. “She doesn’t need it anymore, Aunt Felissa,” Daisy chuckled. She glared at her cousin before she carefully walked to where her mother was and sat beside her. “I’m fine, Mom. I can walk,” she said.“But you can’t walk without our help,” Dinah countered. “You almost fall earlier, if not for Hendrix, your injury might get worsen”She click
“How many times do I have to tell you that I need my coffee the moment I step into this villa? You even have the audacity to sleep in!” Wilma roared as she barged in Margaux's room. Meanwhile, Margaux almost had a heart attack. Her eyes instantly snapped open as she was surprised at the loud voice of her mother-in-law!‘Jeez,’ she thought. Pressing her lips tightly, she hastily got out of the bed and greeted Wilma. However, the old woman gave her a disapproving look which made her lower her head and ran to the kitchen as fast as she could. Hurriedly, she made her mother-in-law her desired coffee. She made it precisely, making sure that there was nothing wrong with it just to please her. “Here's your coffee, Mom. I'm. . .sorry, I–” “Cut it off. Go out and clean the pool. My niece will come and wants to swim later,” said Wilma without looking at her. Margaux carefully placed the coffee on the table in front of Wilma and quickly dashed out of the house. She hasn't washed her face n
Margaux's heart beats wildly upon hearing her husband's voice. It's crazy that they had been married for three years already, yet it's the first time she saw him again face-to-face after their wedding day. It's not that Hendrix doesn't go home. He actually did. However, he only goes home when she's already sleeping and goes out again while she's still sleeping. There were even times that she waited for him only to fall asleep again and wake up; he was already in his room, sleeping soundly. Had she not seen it in her eyes, she would think her husband never comes home at all. “Hendrix!” Margarita quickly ran to Hendrix and pretended like a wounded puppy. “That woman is so mean! She suddenly pushed me for no reason!” She lied.Margaux felt her blood left her face upon seeing Hendrix's expression darkened. “N-no.. I didn't do anything.. I was just going to help–” “Help?! You are so angry and want me to leave, that's why you pushed me!” She shook her head profusely, “No! That's not t
Margaux gracefully sauntered down the stairs with a big smile plastered on her lips. Opposite from her stinking look from earlier, she looked really pretty in her white lacy dress accentuated with her long wavy hair that naturally cascaded on her shoulder, down on her slender back. “Look who's here!” Margarita suddenly exclaimed. But her attention wasn't on her but at the entrance. “Roxanne!” Wilma chortled. “I was worried you would never come!” All of Margaux's efforts to look presentable in front of everyone went to waste just like. As everyone in the dining area, including her husband, didn't even spare her a brief glance. But aside from Hendrix, everyone's attention was on the newcomer who immediately claimed the spotlight. ‘At least my husband was busy with his phone and not with anyone else!’ she consoled herself. She quickly walked to the dining area whilst her gaze never left Hendrix until she reached the table and sat next to him. “Come, have a seat. Hendrix called the
“Wake up!"Margaux immediately woke up from her slumber when a loud slap landed on her face. Her hand covered her cheek as she quickly sat up on her bed and looked at the culprit. “Get your lazy ass off there!” Wilma ordered then walked out of her room as if nothing happened. Her eyes dampened as her cheek stung from the slap she didn't know why she suddenly received. She already cried herself to sleep because of Hendrix, now, it's his mother who's hurting her physically this time. Wilma had always been unreasonable, but at that moment, she thought that she was actually crazy. “What are you waiting for? Come right here quick!” Wilma screamed. She didn't waste anymore time as she didn't want to anger her more. Just like from yesterday, she did not bother washing her face and fixing her hair again, as she scampered out of her room to go to where the old woman was. “Sign that,” Wilma said, throwing the paper and a pen on her face as soon as she stopped in front of her, panting. “
