Her body stiffened as her eyes went a little wider. She clenched her fists and continued walking as if she didn't hear anything. However, as soon as she took one step to the staircase, she heard a loud commotion which made her heart skip a beat. “Foreigners had no right to interfere!” someone screamed followed by women's deafening shrieks and bouncers to run to the direction of where she just came from. Her chest was pounding hard as she marched back at the bar counter. However, a lot of people were blocking her way as they were watching the scene like a movie. “You're harassing my wife! I won't forgive you!” Hendrix's voice erupted. Margaux stood frozen on the spot as she gasped loudly. She wanted to convince herself that she just heard it wrong, but she couldn't deny that voice was indeed from Hendrix. She knew his voice very well. She had that husky and baritone voice recorded to listen every night before they got married. She had it indented in her mind that's why she couldn
Margaux wiggled free and tried to push him again but to no avail. He removed his left hand from her wrist and placed it on her nape to deepen the kiss. She struggled from his hold, however, heat was starting to consume her and the next thing she knew she was already kissing him back. The VIP room became silent and only the sound of their lips smacking could be heard. Hendrix gently lifted his other hand and caressed her face while she grabbed a fistful of his shirt when his tongue entered her sweet cavern.She did not know how long it lasted but she was chasing her breath when he finally pulled away. She felt more dizzy after feeling his warm breath fanned against her face. The smell of his breath had a mixed mint and alcohol too. It only meant that he had been drinking there before he saw her. “Margaux, come back home with me..” he muttered. Her ears perked up and it immediately snapped her out from her reverie after hearing those words. And as if she was burned by him, she quick
The woman's eyes sparkled as she giggled, obviously loving how she addressed her. “Long time no see. I've heard your father already passed all the responsibilities to you,” she said, “I just got back home from a business trip, that's why I wasn't able to attend your welcome party. But I sent you a gift!” she chirped. Margaux wanted to roll her eyes. She didn't need a gift especially coming from her. She knew the likes of that woman and she couldn't trust her at all. “It's fine. That party is not of great importance that requires her royal highness to attend,” she replied with her head bowed down. Liana gently smiled, “But still. We're relatives aren't we? I have to be there to witness the Montello's very important event,” she responded. Margaux pressed her lips tightly. Sure they were blood related and her father had a royal blood, but the woman was too self centered and only knew how to give everyone troubles whenever she's around, thus, not only her but all of their relatives
Margaux was about to explode upon hearing it. In her heart, she was cursing Liana nonstop and wished she didn't run from that room earlier. And before anyone could react to what Liana had said, the waiter came in with the bottles of whiskey and some snacks. “Anything you'd like to order, Your royal highness?” asked the waiter respectfully. “What do you like? It's on me,” Liana looked at Hendrix while she was enjoying the feel of his hard chest. “This is so firm. Are you a regular at the gym?” She couldn't take it anymore. She quickly turned her back and marched out of the room without saying anything. “Where are you going?” she even heard Liana asked. But she just ignored it. She had enough. She didn't go there to watch them flirting in front of her! She shouldn't care, but she knew she hadn't moved on yet so she accepted that she's jealous. ‘Damn you Hendrix Mondragon! You didn't just cheat on me, you even want to show me how you get intimate with someone in front of me!’ sh
“Fiancèe?” Hendrix stared at Margaux in disbelief. “What are you saying?” he breathed. Margaux scoffed, “I'm saying is. . .Roxanne is Hendrix's fiancèe! That scumbag proposed to her not less than a week after I left him!” she exclaimed scornfully. Hendrix was rendered speechless. He had no idea about what he just had heard. Him? Proposed? And to Roxanne? His freaking secretary?! That was ridiculous! He had zero interest in that woman. He actually didn't like her and only allowed her to be his secretary just because it was his mother's request. And he was not stupid about her agenda for being his secretary. He was not blind nor dense. In fact, he was very sensitive when it came to that kind of woman who wanted to get close to him. And that's also the very reason why he avoided Margaux. Aside from the fact that he was guilty for her accident and for using her as an escape from his family for setting him up to blind dates. Closing his palms into fist, his brows furrowed tightly.“Wher
Silence filled the room as Hendrix laid on the couch with Margaux on top of him. No one spoke as if both of them were scared to say anything. But after long minutes of staying like that, Hendrix couldn't stay still any longer as Margaux's warm breath was fanning against his neck giving him goosebumps all over his body and sending chills down his spine. “Margaux?” he muttered as he couldn't hold on anymore. However, there was no response coming from her and just pure silence. Frowning, he tried to peek at her face, but he realized it was buried on the crook of his neck, making it impossible for him to see even just a glimpse of her beautiful face. He sighed. He didn't know what he was feeling at that moment as it was the first time he's been with anyone that close that there was no space between them at all. She literally evaded his personal space and that he could actually feel his soft lips on his neck, making it hard for him to calm down. Gently, he patted her back. “Are you al
A loud gasp reverberated in the room as Daisy stood frozen upon seeing the scene in front of her. “What the heck?!” she screeched so loud which made Margaux retreat and look in her direction. “Didn't I tell you not to follow me?” she glared at her cousin. Daisy pointed at their direction with a horrified look. Her eyes felt sore looking at their provocative position.“You're drunk! Get off him now and I'll take you home!” she ordered and immediately called the bodyguards outside. “No! I'm not done yet!” Margaux said stubbornly. Daisy's eyes went wide as saucers as she stared at her cousin incredulously. “What?!” she breathed. But Margaux didn't respond and just shifted her gaze back at Hendrix who was too stunned to speak.“Don't mind her,” she chirped, then slowly snaked her arms around his neck and kissed him once again. “Margaux! Ugh! Take her away from him!” Daisy shouted. “And carried her to my car!” she commanded while her face was contorted in anger. She was obviously s
Hendrix almost forgot about it, but as soon as his mother mentioned the banquet, he heard Margaux's voice in his mind. “You're engaged with.. who?” his father queried with brows deeply furrowed. Hendrix's eyes squinted while looking at his father. He could see that he was genuinely clueless, unlike his mother who looked like she had seen a ghost with her face drained out of blood and fear in her eyes. “Do you know who she is?” he asked darkly. “H-how would we know? You haven't introduced her to us,” Wilma retaliated. Hendrix nodded his head then chugged down the liquor. “You don't really know her, Mom?” he queried. Wilma gasped, “I…really don't!” she exclaimed. Her demeanor immediately changed as she glared at Hendrix. “What are you on about?” she hissed. Hendrix quickly emptied the bottle of liquor then slammed it on the table so hard afterwards. Both the table and bottle cracked because of the strong impact which surprised David and Wilma. “Hendrix!” Wilma screamed in utter s
