“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
Her body stiffened and her eyes went wide like a saucer. She could hear Sue’s chest against her thumping so wildly. But then she got confused if it really was his or if it was actually her heart. “W-what do you mean?” she stuttered. She was in utter disbelief. That confession just came out of nowhere and she was puzzled if she really heard it right or she was just hearing things. Meanwhile, Sue tightened his hold on her and even buried his face at the crook of her neck. “I’ve been in love with you, Margaux.. for a very long time now..” he then whispered. Holding her breath, all the hairs on her nape and arms instantly stood up. She also got chills and felt like her insides trembled as well. ‘Is this for real?!’ her system was in chaos. She placed her palms on his chest and pushed him away gently. “Don't prank me,” she said and playfully glared at him, thinking it was only a joke and he was trying to ease up her pain. However, her expectation that he was going to laugh
She parted with her parents with a new found hope. Although there was still sadness and sorrow, that was enough to keep her from going inside the plane with not much heavy feeling inside her chest. Her steps were a little lighter and it was not forced anymore. Her father's words were like a magic that ease her pain a little. She was leaving her home country and living miles and miles away, bringing that new found hope with her. She was going to hold on to his words and fully trust her father with all her heart. As soon as she found her seat, she quickly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ‘This is it,’ she thought. It was really sinking in that she was indeed leaving. But unlike earlier, she was not as heartbroken and was actually a little calmer. But still, there was a heavy feeling in her heart, thinking about Hendrix and what he was probably thinking about her. Did the King say something horrendous about her? What if he invented something that will make him mad at he
Margaux stiffened. Her eyes turned round like a saucer. She then quickly covered her mouth with her palms as she stared at the banner on the top of the staircase with her teary eyes. "Who made that?" She asked and pointed at the banner. Helena, the caretaker of the mansion smiled at her, "Your father called and asked us to do something that will make you feel at home. He mentioned that your husband called you love so we thought of adding it,” the old woman cheerfully explained. “Jan-jan was the one who suggested it,” she added proudly. Her heart instantly sank. She didn't know why her father did that. It only made her miss Hendrix even more and longing for him tremendously. It boosted her hope just to drop it on the ground real quick. She thought it was from Hendrix because the guy was the only one who called her with that endearment and she didn't know her father actually knew about it. "Okay, thank you.." she muttered. It was so obvious that her mood deflated and
