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
After listening to Margaux, Hendrix’s face was getting dimmer whilst his blood almost reached the boiling point. “I’m going to kill that woman,” he muttered in a very cold but firm voice. Margaux gasped loudly as she stared at him with rounded eyes. “Don’t,” she breathed. Then, she vehemently shook her head as she cupped his face. “You shouldn’t do that” Hendrix pursed his lips as he looked back at her. His chest was thumping wildly due to the anger he was feeling towards Roxanne. Everything he heard from Margaux about all that woman had done to harass his wife was extremely unacceptable to him. “That b*tch has to pay,” he said coldly. He watched Margaux sighed before tapping his cheeks and backed away. He did not want her to step away but he knew she would be mad at him because there were a lot of people in the room. He let out a deep and exasperated sigh as his eyes remained dark. “She’s getting comfortable harassing you. She should pay,” he said darkly. “Hen
“Dad?” Margaux got alarmed. She looked at her father with an incredulous expression upon hearing him saying that. At first, she thought he was talking to her, but then as she followed where he was looking, she realized that he was talking to Hendrix. Her heart started pumping wildly. She knew how much her father disliked her husband and she was scared of what he was going to say to him once they were left alone. “Let’s go to your room,” Don Geronimo said. His voice was calm, actually too calm that made her more suspicious. She knew her father and the calmer he became, the angrier he was deep inside. ‘Why was he angry anyway?’ she thought. She had no idea what was going on in his father's head, but whatever it was, she would make sure that he wouldn't succeed if he ever wanted Hendrix to leave her. But she highly doubted it though. Her father won’t do such a thing that would hurt her. Hendrix immediately obeyed and was ready to leave her room when she suddenly clung in his a
Her head snapped towards his direction. Wide eyes, she stood there and was too stunned to speak. “He’s going to be our spy,” Daisy clarified. She blinked her eyes several times, trying to process what she had just heard. Shocked and disbelief must be evident in her when she saw Gino grinning at her as if laughing inwardly at her reaction. But who cares though? The least she would think about at that moment was her face. She felt like they were just pranking her, because why would Hendrix's friend would want to risk his life and spy that crazy woman?“For real?” She frowned.The guy stared at her confidently and nodded, “For real,” he mused. Her lips pursed tightly, not sure how she would react with that. She did not expect that at all. ‘Why would he do that?’ she thought. Being a private investigator was already a risky job. Imagine stalking a person, there was a possibility that the person was a criminal, which was the thing with Roxanne. What more to be a spy? It was even mor
Margaux sighed as soon as she opened the door into Hendrix’s room. Her heart instantly calmed down upon seeing him lying down on the bed, peacefully sleeping. After talking with her family, she immediately excused herself and went straight there. She did not ask her father anymore, wanting to see Hendrix first. And she was glad she did that for it might hurt her father's feelings for not trusting him if she ever questioned him without checking first. “You scared me,” she muttered as she sat on the chair next to his bed. Gently, she stroked his hair and let out a sigh of relief once again. “You're finally back,” Hendrix suddenly spoke. Her hand froze in the air in surprise.Meanwhile, Hendrix chuckled and took her hand as he opened his eyes. “What took you so long?” He queried. She stared at him for a second before her lips finally curved upward. “I thought you were sleeping,” she mumbled. Hendrix shook his head, “I miss you..” Her heart made a huge leap. There she felt a sud
“Dad!” she gasped loudly at the sight. Her father was being held by some men while her mother and cousins each had one capturing them. Her body felt cold as her feet got rooted on the spot. That was too far from what she was expecting and she regretted not coming sooner. “You’re finally here, my precious niece..” Her head instantly snapped to where the voice came from and she held her breath when she saw her Uncle George was sitting comfortably on the sofa facing her father. “Your Majesty! What’s happening here?!” She exclaimed. The King slowly smiled and it was not the kind of smile that was pleasant. But rather it was the smile that made her insides tremble. It was the first that he actually smiled because all those times that she saw him, he only wore a blank and stoic face. “I’m just giving you all the favor,” he said. “You call this a favor?” Don Geronimo's voice thundered. The King chuckled as though he found what his brother said was funny. Margaux was to
“You are going to leave him,” The King stated in an absolute tone like a curse. Margaux’s chest was drumming so wildly. She did not know why her uncle confidently said that. It was as if he was very certain she was going to do what he wanted her to do. Like, no freaking way! If she rejected his favor before when she was still in denial and not willing to forgive Hendrix? What more now that they were already okay and starting again? “Didn't I tell you, you cannot control my daughter,” Don Geronimo intervened. His deep voice thundered once again. It was obvious that he was only restraining himself not to explode. He can easily dodge and remove those bulky men if he wanted to but he just doesn't want to move a finger. Not everyone knew, but her father trained for so long in the military. He was a secret agent and did a lot of dangerous missions, hence, he has a merciless side. It was where her parents actually met. Her mother was a volunteer doctor in the milita
Her heart almost drops upon hearing her uncle's words. Clenching her fists, she shut her mouth tightly, suppressing any words to come out of it to avoid giving him any hint. “Right now, someone's already there and chatting with your husband..” he trailed off. A smug look appeared on his face as his eyes glimmered in mischief, “You don't want to be the reason for his complete paralyzation, do you?” he asked darkly. It was the moment she felt the scariest time of her life. She never feared that person in front of her before because her father always assured her that the King was nothing compared to him. However, right at that moment, she feared him for she knew his capabilities, especially that time when all of them and their whole security team in that place were all been captivated. It was as if the King was holding them by the neck and she had no choice but to obey whatever he ordered her to do. “My favor is not that hard, Margaux. Just file an annulment and go to a place where H
