Margaux felt like she was going to faint upon hearing that. “What do you mean? Didn’t you say it was just a set up?” She asked nervously. Dinah shook her head. “It was only you, Babe. Hendrix was not part of the plan..”‘Not part of the plan?!’ Her mind screamed inwardly. Her entire body trembled. ‘No! That was not true!’ She could not accept it.She didn't want to believe that Hendrix was gone in his room. “You're bluffing,” she murmured while shaking her head profusely. Dinah, however, looked at her remorsefully. “I’m sorry..” she mumbled. “We weren't prepared” Margaux’s eyes stung and her vision became blurry. She looked at her cousin pleadingly as she refused to believe her. “You just said that it was all a set up. Why are you saying now that you were not prepared?!” she hissed. Confusion and hurt were written all over her face. She did not know what to think anymore and just broke down there and cried. “I know sorry was not enough. It's our negligence and unpreparednes
Margaux gawked at the screen in utter disbelief. She even blinked several times, thinking that she was seeing things, but no matter how much she blinked nor wiped her eyes, the headlines did not change and in bold and capital letters, it was still the same saying that the King, her uncle who threatened her, was arrested. “For what?” She muttered. She searched for the news about and after reading the whole story, she could not help but release a loud breath. It turned out the King was accused of multiple crimes such as bribery, grave threatening, kidnapping and aiding criminal escape. It was huge, especially because his reputation was good and his image was flawless. He was a great pretender that the general public thought he was the best King among all generations who sat on the throne. Her body was shaking as it was too sudden. She did not know what to feel about that nor did she actually want to even think of it. She wanted to think that it was just his karma but then there was
Hendrix narrowed his eyes as he looked at Liana who was shaking her head while putting down the phone. “She hung up on me,” she informed. His lips pursed tightly. It was not surprising to him at all, because Margaux probably thought Liana was an ally of the King. But it was really just part of him and Gino’s plan, and thankfully, the woman was willing to cooperate with them and go against her own father. “She must be mad at you,” he stated. “I will also loathe myself if I were in her shoes,” Liana retaliated. He shook his head. He had already expected it but still, he could not help but feel hurt for Margaux. She did not deserve it and he was certain that he would no longer be forgiven once she learned what really happened. “You only did what you needed to do for her sake. Don’t be guilty,” he heard Liana stated as though she could read his mind. Hendrix clicked his tongue and just ignored her. He turned around and walked back to his room as he was not in the mood to talk to h
“What happened three years ago?” Saab quickly asked. Meanwhile, the other cousins were silent as though they had an idea about it, but for the confirmation, Gino did not hesitate and immediately answered the question. “Over three years ago. . .actually it is almost four years now, Margaux saved Hendrix from being hit by a car that ended her almost killed” Loud gasps could be heard from the screen and Daisy was the first one to react violently. “No way! Do you have evidence that would point he’s the mastermind?” “We have and that's what we are about to use against him before the news broke out,” Gino answered. Everyone became silent. No one spoke anymore as they were trying to process the new information. Meanwhile, Hendrix folded his arms across his chest as his eyes narrowed while watching each of them on the screen. He did not say anything as he was just patiently waiting for a miracle to happen that Margaux would suddenly show up on the screen behind one of her cousins.“Wha
Margaux’s forehead creased as she walked out of the mansion. She already saw the whole place but still, her cousin was still in their rooms and none of them woke up yet. “Are they still sleeping?” She queried when she saw Helena. The old lady was about to answer when she heard loud footsteps from the grand staircase. She lifted her head and saw Daisy clinging with Jack as they walked down the stairs. Suddenly, her heart stung. She unexpectedly felt jealous not because she secretly liked her cousin's fiance but she was jealous that they were together while she was alone and heartbroken. Looking away, she took a deep breath and forced herself to smile. “Where are the others?” she queried when the two finally reached the ground floor. “They’re coming down too,” Daisy replied. “What’s for lunch?” Margaux looked at Helena silently asking if she had cooked already, fortunately, the old lady nodded her head and smiled at her. “I was about to tell you that the food is ready, Ma’am..”
Margaux was not sure if she was startled with the old lady’s sudden appearance or the news she had brought in. Her chest was pounding hard and loud that it hurt as she stood frozen on her spot with wide eyes. “W-who?” she asked. Her hands felt cold as she stared at Helena nervously. Meanwhile, the old lady did not say anything and just stepped aside and pushed the door wide open. “Love..” Hendrix showed up. Her heart was about to explode upon seeing him. The tears in her eyes welled up as her insides trembled. Although confused as to what he was doing there, she was more happy that she was seeing him again. However, that happinest instantly shattered when the person behind him showed up. Hendrix was in the wheelchair and the person pushing it was no other than the person he eloped with. She felt like she was lifted up in the clouds only to fall down so hard. All the happiness and excitement she felt in a few seconds bursted like a bubble. Her inside trembled and her chest w
“How many times do I have to tell you that I need my coffee the moment I step into this villa? You even have the audacity to sleep in!” Wilma roared as she barged in Margaux's room. Meanwhile, Margaux almost had a heart attack. Her eyes instantly snapped open as she was surprised at the loud voice of her mother-in-law!‘Jeez,’ she thought. Pressing her lips tightly, she hastily got out of the bed and greeted Wilma. However, the old woman gave her a disapproving look which made her lower her head and ran to the kitchen as fast as she could. Hurriedly, she made her mother-in-law her desired coffee. She made it precisely, making sure that there was nothing wrong with it just to please her. “Here's your coffee, Mom. I'm. . .sorry, I–” “Cut it off. Go out and clean the pool. My niece will come and wants to swim later,” said Wilma without looking at her. Margaux carefully placed the coffee on the table in front of Wilma and quickly dashed out of the house. She hasn't washed her face n
Margaux's heart beats wildly upon hearing her husband's voice. It's crazy that they had been married for three years already, yet it's the first time she saw him again face-to-face after their wedding day. It's not that Hendrix doesn't go home. He actually did. However, he only goes home when she's already sleeping and goes out again while she's still sleeping. There were even times that she waited for him only to fall asleep again and wake up; he was already in his room, sleeping soundly. Had she not seen it in her eyes, she would think her husband never comes home at all. “Hendrix!” Margarita quickly ran to Hendrix and pretended like a wounded puppy. “That woman is so mean! She suddenly pushed me for no reason!” She lied.Margaux felt her blood left her face upon seeing Hendrix's expression darkened. “N-no.. I didn't do anything.. I was just going to help–” “Help?! You are so angry and want me to leave, that's why you pushed me!” She shook her head profusely, “No! That's not t
