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
Margaux gracefully sauntered down the stairs with a big smile plastered on her lips. Opposite from her stinking look from earlier, she looked really pretty in her white lacy dress accentuated with her long wavy hair that naturally cascaded on her shoulder, down on her slender back. “Look who's here!” Margarita suddenly exclaimed. But her attention wasn't on her but at the entrance. “Roxanne!” Wilma chortled. “I was worried you would never come!” All of Margaux's efforts to look presentable in front of everyone went to waste just like. As everyone in the dining area, including her husband, didn't even spare her a brief glance. But aside from Hendrix, everyone's attention was on the newcomer who immediately claimed the spotlight. ‘At least my husband was busy with his phone and not with anyone else!’ she consoled herself. She quickly walked to the dining area whilst her gaze never left Hendrix until she reached the table and sat next to him. “Come, have a seat. Hendrix called the
“Wake up!"Margaux immediately woke up from her slumber when a loud slap landed on her face. Her hand covered her cheek as she quickly sat up on her bed and looked at the culprit. “Get your lazy ass off there!” Wilma ordered then walked out of her room as if nothing happened. Her eyes dampened as her cheek stung from the slap she didn't know why she suddenly received. She already cried herself to sleep because of Hendrix, now, it's his mother who's hurting her physically this time. Wilma had always been unreasonable, but at that moment, she thought that she was actually crazy. “What are you waiting for? Come right here quick!” Wilma screamed. She didn't waste anymore time as she didn't want to anger her more. Just like from yesterday, she did not bother washing her face and fixing her hair again, as she scampered out of her room to go to where the old woman was. “Sign that,” Wilma said, throwing the paper and a pen on her face as soon as she stopped in front of her, panting. “
