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
Margaux was lost and dumbfounded by what she just had heard. She stared at her cousin with a big question mark on her pretty face. Pictures from the ultrasound that Roxanne showed her flashes in her mind in an instant. She remembered the immense shock and pain she felt that day and how her world crumbled as the shocking news was delivered to her. “Whatever evidence they showed you to make you believe it, it's all fake, babe. Roxanne is not pregnant. It's all a damn lie!” said Daisy angrily. Margaux furiously looked at Wilma and pointed at her, shaking. She couldn't believe she was fooled again! She felt like her insides were already burning in anger and she badly wanted to hurt someone! “Margaux! I'm sorry! Please forgive me! I was just desperate! I didn't know better! And please! Spare Roxanne! This is all my plan!” Wilma begged. She clenched her fists too tightly that her nails were already piercing her palms. Her blood was boiling hot while her muscles became stiff. She was i
“Hendrix! Where the heck are you! Come here quickly and help your mother!” David screamed from the other line making Hendrix winced as his eardrums stung. To say he was shocked was understatement, because he had never heard his father shout ever. However, he didn't have time to think about it as he was already facing a huge problem with his company. “I'm sorry Dad. But there's an emergency in the company,” he quickly said. He was about to end the call when his father screamed again. “Is that more important than your mother?! Come here to the hospital right now!” “Hospital?” Hendrix stopped typing on his laptop and abruptly stood up. “What happened to her?” he asked worriedly. Even though he was not on good terms with Wilma, she'sl his mother and he still cares for her. That's why despite the huge problem the company was currently facing, he left whatever he was doing and immediately left his suite. “Mr Mondragon,” the manager of the hotel greeted him. Hendrix just nodded briefl
Hendrix couldn't understand that. He scowled as he pulled away his phone and stared at it incredulously. “What are you talking about? Why would I apologize to her?” he hissed. He was already angry by the situation he was in. He had no time to chase that woman who was the reason why he was being chased out of the hotel he was staying in! “There's news circulating here now. And it's not good at all. The project you are investing so much in has been stolen by another company!” Giro reported. “I know! Mr Rodriguez's secretary called me and said that they already canceled our contract,”. He said lividly. “They will return the money for compensation,” he added. Giro said agitatedly. “How about the investors? It would be a huge loss once they left as well!” “They won't,” he answered confidently.“How certain are you about that? One had already announce that they are going to invest to whoever get the project” Hendrix jolted up abruptly upon hearing that. “What the fvck?!” “Go home and
