Hendrix tried so hard not to smile while listening to Margaux talking on the phone about giving his father a VIP room and assisting him to take his mother there. He had no idea what happened and why his father needed a VIP room. But it warmed his heart by the thought that she did not hesitate to help his parents despite what they did to her. ‘I think I’m falling in love with her even more for that,’ he thought. He shut his eyes tightly when the call ended. He did not want her to know that he was already awake because she might be upset with him for not resting long. However, he felt like he’dd already slept enough that his body was fully awake and refused to rest any longer. “The things I do for love, huh,” Margaux suddenly mumbled. Hendrix almost opened his eyes upon hearing that. His chest started drumming wildly and it was even painful because of his internal injuries, but still he managed to keep his pretense of sleeping. Silence then filled the room and he felt the side o
His jaw hardened upon seeing what was inside the envelope. He then lifted his head and looked at his friend as if confirming if it was true. “I did not expect that, too,” Gino said in a very serious tone. Gone was his playfulness. It was as if he had a switch and he turned to his professional self after Hendrix received and opened the small envelope. “Let's keep it for now since we have no concrete evidence yet”“And what do you call this? Isn’t it not evidence?” He scowled while waving the envelope. Surprisingly, his friend shook his head, “No. That can barely be called evidence. Remember that technologies nowadays are very hightech and everything can be copied. We need to gather more back ups as much as we can. The more, the merrier,” Gino stated. Hendrix did not say a word anymore. His lips pressed tightly as he stared intently at the pies of information in his hands.He could not believe what he was seeing and he was afraid of the outcome once it came out.“I have to go. I’ll
“Why can’t you?” Margaux’s eyebrows deeply furrowed as she looked down on Hendrix. Hendrix, on the other hand, lowered his head as though he was avoiding her gaze. Her eyes narrowed in an instant upon seeing his reaction, “Are you hiding something?” She queried. Seeing him avoiding her gaze made her heart sank. It felt like they were back to square one again and she was afraid her trust issue won’t be able to disappear by the way he was acting. “Hendrix..” she muttered. Slowly, Hendrix finally lifted his head once again. Their eyes met me once again and she was taken aback upon seeing his bloodshot eyes. His lips parted and was about to say something, when all of a sudden, a knock came which stopped Hendrix from speaking. “I’m here to check if the patient’s already take his medicine,” the nurse politely said after opening the door slightly. Margaux scowled at Hendrix and saw him sighing heavily. “My medicine’s there,” he said, then pointed to the nearest table
That did not answer her question though. Frowning, she stared at him in confusion but did not ask what he meant by that. Meanwhile, Hendrix lifted his hand and cupped her right cheek. He then caressed it with his thumb while smiling. “I won't promise anything but please remember that everything that I will do is for you..” he whispered. “For me?” She frowned. She did not know if he was just blabbering or something. But his words were vague and she was more confused as she had no idea as to why he was saying that all of a sudden. However, instead of giving her the context and explaining, he just flashed her a smile before putting his palm on her neck and then carefully pulled her down towards him. “I love you so much, love,” he whispered before pulling her further into him until their lips touched. She sighed as she stood straight. Slowly, she opened her eyes and twisted her lips. ‘This will be our thing now?’ she asked herself. Shaking her head, she looked at him and quickly
Margaux had no idea who the caller was. But then she just shrugged her shoulders off and did not think much about it. Maybe it was just an unknown number and her cousin was just being cautious that he decided to take the call instead of giving it to her upon seeing it. Leaning back on the sofa, she shut her eyes and let out a heavy sigh. And due to lack of sleep and body ache, she immediately fell asleep there. She grunted as she stirred from her sleep. She could not move and felt she was being tied thus she slowly opened her eyes to see where she was. Then, a loud gasp came out from her mouth upon seeing what situation she was in. “H-hendrix?’ she breathed in disbelief. The guy was the first thing she saw as soon as she opened her eyelids. And his face was so close to hers and the tips of their noses touched. She could even feel his warm breath as he was breathing evenly. “You're finally awake,” Daisy’s voice suddenly echoed. She stiffened. Her body suddenly straightened upo
“Sue?” Margaux scowled. “What happened to you?” She queried as she almost couldn't recognize him anymore. His hair was disheveled and his clothes were so dirty. It seemed like he rolled over in the mud all day and he went straight into the hospital without bothering to shower or even just changing to clean clothes.Sue, however, ignored her question and went straight to her father. He seemed very serious which was a very rare sight, knowing he has a playful personality. “Where have you been?” Felissa queried. Margaux pursed her lips as her eyes followed her cousin.“It’s a long story, Aunt Felissa,” Sue said, then faced Don Geronimo, “Uncle..” “How was it?” Don Geronimo inquired. Margaux’s eyebrows knitted together. She looked at her father in confusion and wanted to ask him what he meant by that. But then, she stopped herself and just decided to just listen to them first. On the other hand, Sue just let out a frustrated sigh. He then profusely shook his head while lowering his
“What is it?” Hendrix queried upon seeing Margaux looking stunned. He instantly got worried and quickly got out of the bed as well to see what she was staring at in her mobile phone. “Liana?” He muttered the moment he saw the name on the screen. His thick eyebrows deeply furrowed as he did not know what was going on. Sue’s appearance was horrible as he looked like he escaped from the military training camp in the middle of their intense training. He wouldn’t really bother knowing what happened to him to be honest. However, after hearing that it was something to do with Don Geronimo, his father-in-law, he knew it had something to do with Margaux. “Care to explain what is going on? It’s really confusing now,” Daisy demanded. Margaux’s other cousins and their parents seconded.His eyes then lifted up at his wife's face and that’s the time he noticed that she was looking paler than she normally was. In an instant, he got even more worried and was about to ask them to call the doctor
Hendrix thought deeply about it. However, he did not want to assume anything and wanted to be extra cautious because even though Margaux obviously did not like Liana, still, they were related by blood and not only that, the woman was the princess of the country so she was not someone who was not easy to go against. “Do you think Liana is the one behind the accident?” Daisy inquired. The room fell silent. Hendrix’s thick eyebrows deeply furrowed. He stared at his wife and saw her in trance. Suddenly, he got curious about what exactly she was thinking at the moment.Squeezing her hand, he slowly took the mobile phone out from her grip. Margaux flinched when he did that. But she said nothing and just let him steal it away from her. She then moved her head to her side and looked at him. Their eyes met each other's gazes and Hendrix's chest thumped wildly in an instant. He swallowed hard. Her blue eyes seemed so bright and her gazes were burning as though she was furious at him. “Lo
