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
Hendrix watched Margaux leave reluctantly.She did not see how his expression changed as her back was already facing him. And as soon as the door was shut behind her, his shoulder dropped. His body turned into a jelly in an instant and he just slumped on the mattress with a thud. The pain from his wounds did not matter anymore as the pian in his chest was excruciating. He knew Margaux won’t ever forgive him again after what he was going to do. But he knew he will do it over and over again for Margaux’s sake. Her safety was more important than his heart. Her living a good and peaceful life was his priority, never mind if he lives his life miserably. Shutting his eyes tightly, he lifted his hand and counted in his fingers. “One. . .two. . .three . . .”Exactly at the count of three, he heard the door bursted open. He then intently listened to the footsteps coming near him while his chest was thumping wildly. “Hendrix..” a soft yet cold voice entered his ears.Slowly, he opened
Hendrix’s thick eyebrows deeply furrowed. “What for?” He asked. Liana crossed her legs and waved her mobile phone in front of his face. “I just a got a call from one of our men inside the room where they are right now. And according to him, Margaux was having a hard time to choose..” she replied. His heart almost leap out from his chest upon hearing that. He was not sure why but he felt really elated knowing that it was a hard choice for Margaux, which meant that he was as important as her family in her life. He never really doubt his wife’s love for him. But still, he cannot believe it and was still in disbelief about it. “So, start pleading with her and say that she should not worry about you. Who knows she would listen to you?” The woman bargained. He suddenly thought what happened earlier before Margaux left his room. He remembered that she was insisting that he should go with her despite the protest off her cousin to not bring him with her. He won’t lie that it hurts. He
“Babe, please let me go with you,” Daisy pleaded. Margaux had been staring at her luggage for a long time already when she heard it. She then finally looked at her cousin and saw her crying which surprised her. “Why are you crying?” She scowled. Daisy then sobbed. Her eyes were already puffy and bloodshot. She actually had been there with Margaux for an hour and crying to her but the woman just ignored her as if she didn't hear anything. “I wanna go with you!” she cried. The creased on Margaux's forehead defined. It was as if she could not understand her drama. “Please! Bring me with you! I don't want to give birth without you!” her cousin whined. Her heard softened upon hearing that. Then, her eyes moistened as she remember hhe reason why she was suddenly leaving. It was her final decision. She finally decided to just go to a further place and leave Hendrix. With that, he will recover completely, go back to anormal life and be safe to any harm. She made sure about that. Bef
