“Why are you suddenly apologizing?” Hendrix asked in utter confusion and disbelief. He thought he just misheard it as he was too drunk to hear it clearly. However, as he stared at his mother, despite his headache, he still could clearly see his mother's teary eyes. “Why are you crying?” he was bewildered. Never once did he see his mother cry. Not even when he fell on the staircase when he was young nor his grandma m, her mother died eight years ago. She never shed tears in front of him. That's why there was a pinch in his heart as soon as he saw her almost crying. Wilma held his hands again with pleading eyes. “I'm sorry, son. I made a mistake. I shouldn't have forged your signature and made Margaux believe that you couldn't wait to divorce her,” she confessed. It didn't sink in at first. But the moment he realized what his mother had just told him, his eyes instantly darkened. “What did you say, Mom?” he roared. Since he was already drunk, he had no control of his emotion
Margaux grunted as she woke up with a splitting headache. “Ugh! I forgot about this!,” she complained as she never thought about the aftermath of being drunk. Slowly, she sat up on the bed while holding her head. But as soon as she seated, slow clapping reverberated inside her room. “Morning!” Daisy greeted while her hands kept giving her a slow clap. Margaux's brows furrowed. She looked at her cousin in confusion. On the other hand, Dinah shook her head while Saab was chuckling and both looking at her as well. All of them were sitting on the couch side by side. They were all facing her and she had a feeling they had been there for a long time and watched her sleeping. “What?” she frowned. Daisy finally stopped clapping and smirked menacingly at her. She leaned back on the couch and crossed her legs. “You go to the bar without us,” she said. It was not a question but a statement. Dinah raised her eyebrows on her whilst Saab pouted. “You should've told us and avoided meeting your
“Mr. Simon,” Daisy greeted. Margaux watched her cousin intently as the latter called the guy whom they just met at the banquet. With cold hands, she tapped Daisy's shoulders to get her attention but her cousin just ignored her. “I think this is a bad idea,” she muttered at the same time the guy from the other line spoke. The speaker was on, that's why she was able to hear it. But as soon as she heard his voice, her chest pounded rapidly. She was nervous not because of him, rather she was scared about her cousin's plan. Daisy shook her head while giving her a warning look. She then smiled widely as if the person on the other line could see her.“This is Daisy Hermani. I'm sorry for my unexpected call, Mr Simon. But I hope I didn't disturb you..” she said softly. “Daisy?” Mr Simon replied.“Hhm. I'm Margaux's cousin,” she chirped. “I know you're a busy person Mr Simon, so I won't beat around the bushes. I called because my cousin badly need a helping hand” Margaux gasped on the si
Jack looked at the entrance and scowled, “You want me to get rid of that guy?” he queried. Then, he turned to Margaux with deep creases on his forehead, “Isn't he the guy who claimed to be your husband?” he added.Margaux's lips parted as her chest thumped wildly. She thought he already forgot about it since he didn't mention it earlier, but it seemed like he just thought it was irrelevant. “That guy is Hendrix Mondragon. He is from the Philippines. He thought he married Margaux when the truth is he married someone else and thought it was her. He's crazy. No matter how many times Margaux confirmed that she's not his wife, he just doesn't believe it,” Daisy sighed dramatically. Margaux blinked several times as she tried to process what her cousin had just said. And she wanted to be swallowed by the ground in embarrassment at the blatant lies Daisy was saying. ‘Aren't she scared that Mr Simon knows the truth?!’ she thought as she stared at her incredulously. “You know our family is j
‘Future husband?!’ Margaux's head exploded. Her body stiffened as she stared at Jack with wide eyes. She didn't know what to say as her mind went blank in shock. “Future husband?!” Wilma gasped. Her face turned white as she immediately held her son's forearm. “She can't be..” She mumbled, panicking. “Why can't she? Margaux is single. She can marry anyone she likes to tie the knot with. And Jack is the most qualified to be her husband,” said Daisy. Margaux intently watched Wilma. She could see Hendrix's sharp glare in her peripheral vision, but deliberately ignored it and just focused solely on his mother. “But she's already married!” the old woman exclaimed. She then looked at Margaux and frowned, “How about Hendrix, Margaux?” she queried. Margaux raised her eyebrows as she stared at Wilma. “What about him? Are you forgetting about Roxanne, Mrs Mondragon?” she retorted.The old woman froze on her spot. She quickly averted her gaze as her lips quivered. Margaux squinted her eyes a
Hendrix was fuming mad. He threw Margaux a deadly glare as he stood there panting. “Are you really going to flirt with him in front of me?” he spat. His face was red as his blood was boiling. He couldn't believe that the woman he thought was demure and only had eyes on him was being cozy with another guy before his eyes. ‘Did she forget that she's still married? Although she used a fake name in their marriage certificate, she couldn't deny that her presence alone in the ceremony was enough evidence that they got married for real!’ he thought to himself. Meanwhile, Margaux slowly turned to him with raised eyebrows, “What if I am? I'm single. I can do whatever I want, Mr Mondragon,” she smirked. It made him angrier. “You're single?” he hissed. His ruthless eyes glimmered as he turned to Jack. “Do you know that she's a liar?” He shook his head. What a pretentious woman she was. She lied about her identity to him, and now she was lying to a different guy again. What would she gain
“The audacity!” Daisy angrily slammed her hands on the table which surprised the customers near them. “Isn't he the one stalking you like a freak here?! Now he's acting like a victim as if you did something wrong to him?!” Margaux clenched her fists. She was as angry as her cousin. She couldn't believe Hendrix was even proud of admitting that he abandoned her! She suffered a lot because of that! Was treated like a servant and took advantage of her kindness and willingness to obey them! With bloodshot eyes, she looked at her cousin who was seething in anger. “Are they still staying in Rosewood?” she queried. Frowning, Daisy immediately shifted her gaze to her, “Yes,” she answered. Her cousin stared at her in confusion, but it wasn't long when she eventually smiled as if she quickly got what she meant. “I'm gonna call Cali now,” she chortled. Daisy immediately dialed their cousin's number while Margaux and Jack silently watched her. They watched her as though they were in a movie
Margaux's bodyguards quickly surrounded her and pushed the woman on the ground. Daisy worriedly ran to her and looked at her from head to toe, “Are you okay?” she queried. But she didn't answer. She looked at her arm and saw that there's a long scratch and it was bleeding. She clicked her tongue in annoyance. Looking at the culprit, her forehead creased as she stared at her sharply. “Who are you?” she asked coldly. That woman was so brave for openly attacking her like that. Usually, she would've praised her for such bravery and would have let her off after warning her. However, it's too unfortunate of her that she chose that day when she was in an extreme rage. “You're bleeding,” Daisy muttered worriedly. Margaux completely ignored her cousin and just watched as the woman finally lifted her head and showed her face. Her face darkened as her lips pressed tightly together. “How dare you seduce my fiancè?!” Roxanne shouted while still on the ground. “You're still here?” Daisy ra
