Margaux kept tapping her fingers on the table as she waited for Hendrix to come. An hour had already passed when Carlos confirmed his arrival yet he wasn't still there. Irritated, she pressed the intercom and asked her secretary impatiently, “Did you really call him?” “Yes, Miss Margaux and he said he's going here right away,” Carlos immediately answered. “Then why is he not here yet?” she scowled.‘Was that guy traveling from afar? But he left before us, so where could he be when Carlos called?’ Margaux thought. “I'll try to call him again, Miss,” Carlos replied. “Please do,” she said curtly and quickly turned off the intercom. Leaning her back on the swivel chair, she let out a sigh and thought where could Hendrix be and what was taking him so long. For she was expecting him to hastily come there and show up right away, not letting her wait for over an hour. “Miss?” Carlos carefully called after knocking on the door. “I'm sorry but.. I couldn't contact Mr Mondragon anymore..”

“Oh, look who's here. Drix, why didn't you tell me that you're expecting my cousin?” Liana raised her eyebrows while grinning slyly at Margaux. Margaux's brows pulled together as she stared back at her cousin. ‘Drix? They are on the nickname basis now? They are that close already?!’ her mind screamed. She then squinted her eyes when her gaze went down and landed on their linked arms. Her chest pounded hard as her blood boiled even more. However, her demeanor never changed and kept her expression neutral. Then slowly, her lips curved a sarcastic grin as soon as she lifted her eyes on them. “I'm here for someone,” she muttered, then slowly stepped forward and entered the elevator. Tilting her head, she pointed outside with her index finger while looking at them, “Are you not going out? Or you two are just playing with the lift?” she queried. Her grin went wider as she watched Liana's arrogant expression slowly disappeared. He could feel that the woman already felt annoyed and it act

“What did you say?” Margaux turned back and scowled at Hendrix. However, her chest pounded wildly as soon as their eyes met. Hendrix's eyes were the most attractive part of his face the most and his brown orbs were her favorite. The way he gazed at her was too intense but she couldn't seem to look away, although her heart felt like it's going to explode. “I know you are here for me,” Hendrix responded with a gentle smile and slowly closing the gap between them. It didn't sink it right away to Margaux, as her mind went blank while her eyes fixated on his handsome face. And just like that morning, the way he looked at her seemed different. She found it very strange. It's as if something had suddenly changed but she couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly. Hendrix stopped right in front of her. He didn't touch her, and even left a quite huge gap in between them. But subconsciously, she took a step back as her heart couldn't handle being with him too close. “Did I make you worry?” he qu
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 101: Confession
“I love you, Margaux,” Hendrix repeated. Margaux stared at him with wide eyes. Her mouth agape while her heart was beating abnormally. ‘W-what?’ her brain couldn't function all of a sudden. He stared back at her, and she suddenly felt intimidated by the intensity of his gaze towards her. “I just realized it now. I'm sorry for everything, please forgive me..” he said. She blinked several times as it didn't sink in as well. Her mind was in turmoil, she couldn't think anything at all. “I love you,” he repeated again. ‘What the heck?! He loves me?!’ her mind screamed. Her chest hammered even more. Shutting her eyes, she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, but to no avail. Her effort was futile as her brain kept repeating his words inside her head like a broken vinyl. Indenting in her mind, making her memorize every syllable of how he pronounced those words. “Margaux, I–” “Stop,” she quickly cut him off. She didn't want to hear more from him. It was already too much
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 102: Phone
Margaux's eyes widened and quickly, she pushed Hendrix away with all her strength and slapped his face with all her might. “How dare you kiss me?!” she exclaimed angrily. She was panting as she threw him a sharp glare. Her chest was thumping wildly while her muscles tensed in anger. She wanted to hit him more. One slap was never enough for disrespecting her like that. “What made you think that you have the right to kiss and touch me?!” she continued. “I can sue you for that!” ‘I won't forgive you!’ her mind screamed. Her mind was already in turmoil and that kiss just made her feel worse. She was already trying too hard to not take his confession seriously, but she cannot ignore his physical touch! Meanwhile, Hendrix stayed still as his face remained on the side. His eyes were shut while his jaw ticked as his left cheek turned red in an instant and was stinging in pain. That slap was hard. It's as if Margaux put all her frustrations and anger to her hand.“Next time you touch me
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 103: News
Hendrix stared at Margaux's phone with a scowl for a long second after the call just abruptly ended. He cannot believe the woman just hung up on him after asking for his address. Thinking about it, he suddenly got a bad feeling that she will either come to get Margaux's phone or have someone take it from him. Shaking his head, his grip on the phone tightened as he didn't like either of the two. “I will be the one to give it back to her,” he muttered with full determination.Standing up, he stepped out of his apartment once again. He was already hungry anyway, therefore, he'd go somewhere far from that place to eat late lunch and to avoid whoever was going to knock there. “Where are you going?” the landlord asked as he stepped out of the elevator. Hendrix's brows furrowed as he stared at the landlord. “Somewhere,” he answered curtly. “Where? Are you going to see Miss Margaux again?” The old woman probe.He shook his head shortly. “No” “Then where are you going? Why are you not
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 104: Talk
“I'm going now,” the bespectacled guy said and quickly turned away. “Wait!” Hendrix muttered, “Your boss.. You're talking about Don Geromino Montello?” he queried nervously. “Yes. Don Geromino would like to invite you to the manor for a chat,” the guy answered formally. “Why?” He scowled. His chest pounding harder as he wondered what the Don would like to talk about that he suddenly invited him for a chat. “My apology but I have no right to meddle with his business” Hendrix pursed his lips and nodded in understanding. Staring at the bespectacled guy, he couldn't help but feel the pressure knowing that the formal guy was waiting for his decision. He didn't want to go, but he was curious about what the Don would like to say to him. He felt conflicted whether to go or not because the invitation was too sudden and he wasn't prepared for it at all. Although he knew it was inevitable to personally meet his ‘supposed’ in-laws, it didn’t occur to him that it would happen that soon, les

“I love you..”Margaux shook her head, trying to erase that memory out of her head. She didn’t need it as she knew it was just all a lie.“Are you bothered by his kiss?” Jack suddenly queried. She straightened on her seat, surprised by the guy’s voice. She was too preoccupied that she already forgot that she was not alone in her office. “You’re mistaken,” she shook her head.Of course she wouldn’t admit that she was also bothered by that kiss. And she will definitely gonna think about it along with his sudden confession for the whole night once she goes home. Sighing, she pressed her lips and looked at Jack sternly, “What are you doing there anyway?” she asked, changing the topic. The corner of Jack’s lips curved upward as he stared back at her. He looked at her in amusement as if he knew her plan. “Would you believe that I was just passing by and accidentally saw you?” he responded. “Do you want me to believe that?” she reiterated. Jack chuckled, “I know it’s surreal but that

Hendrix's thick furrowed eyebrows became permanent as he buried his face on paper works. His workaholic self just couldn't help finishing them all before he went home. “Sir, it's past nine already,” Tom, his secretary, stated. “You can go home now,” he responded without lifting his head. Tom looked hesitant as he stared at his boss who was busy signing the documents. He could leave just as he told him to, but he knew his future would be at risk if he did not drag his boss out of his office. Standing there, he took a deep breath and was prepared to say the magic word when all of a sudden, a loud ring erupted in the whole office. Hendrix stopped whatever he was doing and scowled at his mobile phone resting on the corner of his desk. His face was dark as though he was displeased that he's got interrupted with his work. “Let me see, you're still in the office, am I right?” the caller said without any greetings. Hendrix didn't need to ask who was on the other line. His annoyin

The manor was very busy as everyone seemed to be panicking as the time was running. But Margaux seemed oblivious as she was busy staring at herself in a huge mirror. Her heart was thumping hard. ‘This is it,” she told herself internally. The white beautiful wedding dress that was full of tiny diamonds was sparkling, almost blinding her eyes. Her hair was tied up in a very neat bun with some hair strands curled beautifully decorating her small face. While her makeup was just light, almost bare showing her natural beauty that made everyone in the room bewitched as they all looked at her. “Miss Margaux, it’s time to walk down the aisle,” the organizer announced. Margaux glanced over herself one more time before leaving the room. The organizer gave her the beautifully arranged white bouquet with a huge grin.“Mr Mondragon is so lucky,” she muttered with pure admiration. She did not respond and just gave her a small smile. Her stomach was churning as her chest was about to explode. S

Margaux crossed her arms as she leaned on the back rest of the sofa, staring at the woman in front of her. She woke up alone and everyone in the manor was nowhere to be found aside for Liana who was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room while having a cup of tea as she descended the stairs. “Babe,” Liana flashed a small smile. Her eyebrows raised as she had no idea what her cousin was doing in their manor. As far as she could remember, she was left in the Philippines so she thought she would stay there and will never have the guts to show her face again out of remorse. ‘I forgot that she’s shameless,’ she thought and rolled her eyes. “I know you never wish to see me again,” Liana muttered. “You know but you still show up here,” she replied sarcastically. The princess let out a sigh then shook her head. Seeing that, Margaux thought she was going to retort a sarcastic remark and grin mockingly at her like she always does before. However, she’d seen none of it, rather

“I want to give her a grand wedding in front of all of you, her family and friends,” Hendrix added. He was looking straight to Don Geronimo as he said those words with a very serious face. However, the corner of his lips lifted upon seeing Margaux’s reaction in his peripheral vision. “You’re already married,” Don Geronimo stated. Hendrix's lips pursed as he brought his attention back to the old man. “But it didn't feel right. I married her as Margaux Hermani and I want to correct that“ “Hendrix..” Margaux muttered. He finally looked at her direction and saw her flustered face and teary eyes. She probably didn't expect that and had a doubt about his plan. Stepping forward, he cupped her face and stared into her blue eyes. “I want to make this right,” he muttered. Then he put down his hands and shoved one onto the pocket of his jeans whilst slowly kneeling down in front of her. A loud gasp came from Margaux as he pulled out the velvet box and revealed a huge diamond ring.

“You're blooming,” Daisy smirked as soon as they entered the dining room. Margaux’s face turned hot in an instant. She then threw her cousin a sharp glare on which the latter just laughed it off. “Why are you looking at me like that? I’m just stating a fact,” Daisy said and gave her a malicious grin. She rolled her eyes and did not say anything. Instead, she took her seat and looked around the table to see that they were complete except her parents, who were probably still in the hospital. “You should take the seat next to your wife,” she heard her uncle say. Her eyebrows raised as the only vacant seat next to her was his father's chair. “I don't think that's right,” Hendrix muttered as he stood still behind her chair. “Just take that seat and eat. It's just a chair,” her uncle Daniel insisted. Knowing that her husband won't do it for his respect for her father, she let out a sigh before glancing over her shoulder. “You can take that chair. No one will mind,”

“Are you tired?” Hendrix queried as they cuddled under the blanket. ‘I am exhausted!’ Margaux’s mind screamed internally. Her face was burning and kept her eyes closed recalling what they had just done. It was not the first time anymore but it still felt new to her. Moreso, the experience was entirely different from the first one as she thought Hendrix didn't strain himself anymore which made her whole body sore. She felt his soft lips touch her forehead and a soft whisper of ‘I love you’ tingles her left ear. He then tightened his hold on her and pressed her body to his even more as if he was afraid to have even a tiniest gap between them. “Love..” he murmured. Curiously, Margaux slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. But before she could say something, Hendrix quickly leaned in closer and claimed her lips. Gasping, she opened her eyes and reluctantly pushed him away. “I can't do it anymore,” she mumbled. She averted her gaze as her face became hotter. She had no qualms
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 375: False Alarm
“Call all the doctors, quick!” she exclaimed as she kneeled down next to Hendrix. Her heart just stopped beating upon seeing his unconscious body. She didn't know where to touch him as she was afraid she might hurt him even more. “Love! Open your eyes, please! Don't sleep!” she cried. She could feel her cousin was trying to calm her but her emotions exploded that she could not hear anything anymore. “Babe, calm down!” Daisy shook her. “Love, please!” she pleaded. Her hands were shaking as she placed her palms on his chest. Although she could feel his heartbeat, still she cannot calm down seeing him unconscious with blood almost covering his shirt. “Let me check his wounds,” Felissa muttered. Reluctantly, she moved away and let her mother check where the gunshot was. She was holding her breath as she was trying to prepare for whatever she was going to see. However, as soon as her mother lifted Hendrix's shirt, loud gasps reverberated in the room and followed by loud laughter.
The Billionaire's Abandoned Wife is an Heiress Chapter 374: Trust
“Aren’t you afraid that he might let that woman free?” Felissa inquired. Margaux heaved a sigh. Then, a small smile flashed her face as she looked at her mother. “I trust that he won’t do it, Mom..” she replied. Her mother stared at her for a long second before she responded. “What if he betrayed you?” she asked critically. She did not know if her mother was just testing her. But her question did not really come across her mind. After learning what happened from the nurse that was supposed to kill her, she knew right then that Hendrix did not really mean to shoot her. He was aiming for Doctor Pablo, not her. That’s why as soon as he tried to approach her, she did not hesitate to send him with that woman. She was that confident that he would come back to her, not thinking about other possibilities that he had other motives. Looking away, she curled her fingers as she was starting to doubt her decision. But then she shook her head immediately and lifted her chin as she returned her

Margaux quickly shifted her head towards the door as soon as she heard it shut. Her shoulders slumped while she heaved a deep sigh. “Why did you make him leave and feel disappointed now?” Her father queried. She pursed her lips. Seriously, she didn’t know why she did that. Probably because she was not ready to face him yet. She took a deep breath once again and looked at her father. “Did you already know about Doctor Pablo?” She asked instead. Don Geronimo raised his eyebrows. His eyes lit up, prolly seeing her intention of changing the topic. “I had suspicion, but never thought he could actually do that to us,” he shook his head. Margaux’s eyes narrowed as she stared at her father. His actions and facial expression were so contradictory that she could not help but be skeptical. “Really?” She tilted her head and crossed her arms. She did trust her father, but at that moment, she could not help but doubt his words. Meanwhile, Don Geronimo suddenly laughed boisterously. “You’r
