The Good Wife's Enemy 26: A Wife’s Wrath
Margot was not surprised, not even disappointed when Harry didn’t come home at night. She made dinner for herself, enjoyed her meal silently, and went to bed. She didn’t bother calling or texting him, knowing he was with his mistress. Margot knew she had to get used to being alone, so Harry would have nothing to use against her when the right time came to completely rid of him in her life.On Sunday morning, Margot woke up and prepared for her appointment at noon. She was leaving the house when Harry’s car arrived.“Good morning, honey. Did you have breakfast?” Harry asked, smiling. He looked so fully energized, making Margot uncomfortable just by looking at him, knowing what made him like that.“The three-letter exercise, I see,” she whispered, ignoring her husband and walking out of the house.Harry didn’t like the way Margot treated him. So, he followed, grabbed her by the arm, and made her look at him. “I’m sorry,” he said with no trace of sincerity neither in his voice nor eyes.
The Good Wife's Enemy 27: Instant Karma
“Oh, what a lovely morning!” Margot stretched her arms with a smile. She had a wonderful sleep at night after meeting with the lawyer.Humming, she stepped out of the shower and walked downstairs in a bathrobe to see her husband drinking a coffee. It was rare for Margot to see him prepare something for himself.“Good morning, honey.” Margot beamed. She took her mug and prepared a hot chocolate drink.While stirring her drink, Margot heated a pan. She put some butter and broke an egg, adding some bacon, too. In less than five minutes, she made herself a breakfast.“What about mine?” Harry asked, his brows furrowed.Margot tilted her head to the side. “You want breakfast?” she asked, nonchalantly. When Harry nodded, she smiled. “Then make it.”Harry hissed in disbelief. “Are you serious?”Shrugging, Margot sat in front of him and took a bite of her fried egg sandwich. “Or maybe you should try calling your sex—secretary,” she sneered.“You’re being too much!” Harry left his seat and was
The Good Wife's Enemy 28: Not Enough
“Everything will be okay,” Margot whispered to Harry in the ambulance. “I’ll be right by your side, hon.” She smiled, holding his hand tightly.Harry groaned, suppressing his screams as he endured the itch and burning sensation on his thing between his thighs. “Fuck! Why is this happening? I have to prepare for a business trip in two weeks,” he said, shutting his eyes in discomfort.Margot sighed. “Stop thinking about work. You have to get better first. I’m sure someone can do it on your behalf,” she commented, wiping Harry’s sweat. “Gosh, you look terrible.”“This is because of that fucking cream you gave me!” Harry retorted, glaring at his wife.Margot covered her mouth in shock, but in reality, she was hiding her grin. “I—It’s not my fault, honey! Besides, I didn’t give it to you. You took it,” she said in a matter-of-fact tone.“It was a freaking anti-fungal cream, Margot! That shit burns on the skin,” Harry said in frustration. He was embarrassed enough to leave the office in an
The Good Wife's Enemy 29: Slowly, But Surely
A week passed after Harry was sent to the hospital. The doctors said he should be careful and avoid sexual intercourse until the rashes were completely healed. For Harry, who never missed a day sleeping with his young lover, his condition was hellish.On the other hand, Margot never felt relaxed despite knowing that Harry and Nadine were still seeing in secret. Although Harry stayed at home while working, his secretary was not leaving his side. Nadine would always come to their house just right after Margot left for work. If it was in the past, she’d feel bad whenever Harry brought another woman into their house.But Margot wanted to trust the process. She had nothing to worry about ‘cause even when she was away, she could see everything. It was all thanks to the new and hidden cameras she installed in their house while Harry was stuck in the hospital for days.“Here’s your coffee, Ma’am.” Tricia placed a cup of warm coffee on Margot’s table. “Do you need anything else?”Margot nodded
The Good Wife's Enemy 30: Ticket To Hell
Margot didn’t get a break in the following days. She was busy convincing Vivian to let her go for a business trip, but as it wasn’t part of her job, she was refused. Ultimately, Margot insisted on getting a three-day leave while planning to visit their branches abroad.Meanwhile, Harry had to work from home for the entire week because of his condition. Although he was slowly recovering, he never missed a day calling his secretary to come and ‘serve’ him.“Wow. Just wow…” Margot clicked her tongue. After a rough day, she just came out of the shower and decided to check the footage from the security cameras installed in their house. She wasn’t expecting much, knowing that Harry couldn’t get his thing up after the incident.Surprisingly, Harry seemed to recover faster than she thought he would. He was so full of vigor that he even managed to copulate with his mistress.Nadine moaned breathlessly on top of the office table while occasionally screaming for Harry’s name. She rolled her eyes
The Good Wife's Enemy 31: Not A Chance
“Good morning, Margot. You look… Energetic,” Leo smiled as he sat on the opposite side of the table, facing his patient.Margot smiled back, her eyes sparkling. “I’m leaving the country tonight,” she replied.Leo nodded. “Business trip?” He tilted his head to the side, watching her shake her head. He couldn’t help smiling seeing her grinning from ear to ear.“Nah. Just taking a break with a twist,” she said, laughing to herself.“A twist?” Leo’s brows furrowed a little. “What do you mean?”Margot hummed. “Let’s say, I’m preparing for something big, so I have to keep my enemies in check. That cheater did it with his other woman in my house,” she grumbled. “He was going out of line, right? I’m going to teach him a lesson for that.”Leo suddenly felt an ominous aura coming from Margot. “Tell me it’s not something dangerous,” he gulped.“I think it’s not. Well, my jerk of a husband is going for a business trip and he’ll be taking his mistress aka secretary. I wanted to go with them but th
The Good Wife's Enemy 32: ‘Honeymoon’ Gone Wrong
For Margot, everything was perfect. She enjoyed seeing how Harry and Nadine acted awkward toward each other with her around. She even offered Nadine to swap seats in the plane since she took a premium first-class, while the two reserved their seats in business class. When Nadine declined Margot’s offer, the latter asked her husband to join her in the first-class suite instead.As much as Harry couldn’t freely say ‘no’ to his wife, he had no choice but to leave his secretary and stay with Margot in her suite.“Isn’t this nice? I don’t have to worry now that we’re in the same suite,” Margot smiled at her husband. “Besides, your secretary must be enjoying now that she could finally take a break without you for a short while.”Harry frowned, his gaze locked on his wife’s amused face. “This is a business trip, not a vacation. Didn’t I tell you not to bother me?”“Am I bothering you? If that’s how you feel, why don’t we ask Nadine to keep me company here then you can go back to the business
The Good Wife's Enemy 33: Needs
“Excuse me,” the hotel manager came to greet Margot. “Welcome to Lutos Hotel. I will lead the way to your suite,” she said, gesturing to the guys behind her to take care of Margot’s luggage.Margot smiled, turning her back to Harry and Nadine. “Please. I’m quite tired after the long flight,” she mumbled, her voice soft.The manager nodded and led Margot to the elevator. Meanwhile, Harry couldn’t believe Margot left just like that. He hurried to catch up with her but the elevator door closed before he could join her inside.“Harry! What are we gonna do now?” Nadine asked, raising her voice slightly. She was looking forward to their business trip, knowing they’d be alone, but Margot just had to ruin it.Harry groaned and went back to the reception desk where Nadine left their luggage. “What else? I’m going to stay in my room. You should rest too. I have an important meeting tomorrow,” he mumbled and walked into the elevator.Nadine followed him with a grumpy face. “You should have not al

Harry sneered at his wife. “Better plans? What, divorcing me? No wonder you wouldn’t drop the talk about divorce. You’re using Nadine to get out of this marriage while acting like a victim. Hah! I didn’t expect you to have it in you—”A loud bang interrupted Harry when Leo slammed his hands on the table.“Excuse me, but I don’t think you should be doing this in my office,” he said, glancing over at Margot. “Especially when I have an ongoing session with a patient,” Leo stated, his voice laced with threat and hostility, hidden behind a deceptive smile he honed for years.“A patient, huh? What do you know?” Harry lashed out, glaring at him. “Do you even have an idea that she’s married? What an ignorant fool,” he commented.Margot sighed in exasperation. “Stop making a scene, Harry. You’re only embarrassing yourself,” she muttered before turning to Leo. “My apologies for this disturbance. Thank you for your assistance until now, Dr. Brown.” She smiled at the doctor and headed out.“Come o
The Good Wife's Enemy 71: Not At All
“Is everything alright?” Rosaline asked Margot, watching her vomit in the sink. The young woman looked horrified seeing her sister-in-law pale and gasping for breath.Margot nodded, wiping her lips. “Yeah. Don’t mind me,” she replied, but before she could make up an excuse, her stomach churned once again, leading her to continue puking.Rosaline watched her helplessly while rubbing her back. “I think I should call the doctor,” she said, feeling bad for Margot. “You look sick,” Rosaline insisted.“No, I’m fine. I’m almost done,” Margot smiled. She looked up after some time with teary eyes. “Relax. It’s fine. I’m fine,” she told Rosaline whose face was painted with concern.“Woah! That was longer than usual,” Margot muttered, washing her mouth. She smiled at Rosaline to reassure her that she was indeed fine. “It’s… Um…”Margot hesitated to tell Rosaline about her pregnancy. She wanted to keep it from Harry, after all. Not that she didn’t trust Rosaline, but she thought it would be bette
The Good Wife's Enemy 70: The Beginning of the End
“I couldn’t believe rumors like that are spreading within the employees,” Margot said, shaking her head in disbelief. She headed straight to her father’s office after meeting with Vivian.“Rumors tend to be exaggerated. So, did you decide to quit? And here I thought you’d take my position no matter what,” Ryan smirked, observing his daughter’s reaction.Margot shrugged. “It’s not that hard. I’ll just wait until you peacefully give up that seat of yours, then we won’t waste any time, or I can just kick out the current CEO and maybe start from there before becoming the chairman,” she nonchalantly replied. “What do you think is the best option?”Ryan sighed. “It’s too early for my retirement. So, why don’t you take the second option? It will benefit both you and the company,” he grinned, relying on his daughter’s ability.“Oh! Why do I feel like you’re just using me to get rid of the people you allowed in the company in the first place?” Margot rubbed her temple. “Well, you’re in luck. I
The Good Wife's Enemy 69: Resignation And Rumors
Margot grabbed her phone, calling the cops. She couldn’t believe Harry would be shameless to show up after what happened last night. She took a deep breath and waited until someone picked up her call.“Hi, this is Margot… Um… Walton. My husband, Harry Walton, who is already on your record for abuse, has come to my house again. I have a restraining order against him, and I feel threatened,” Margot said, looking at Harry who proudly held his banner.“He is currently on my doorstep, holding a banner that says ‘sorry’, but if you’ve been slapped and cheated on by this guy several times, that word wouldn’t be enough. I need immediate assistance to ensure my safety,” she continued. After giving her address to the cops, Margot called her lawyer.“Hello, Atty. Powell. It’s about the restraining order I requested that you process this morning… Hmm… Yes, please. I may need it. Harry’s back at my house,” Margot sighed, rubbing her temple. “I’ll be right there just in case. How about the matter
The Good Wife's Enemy 68: Preparing For The Storm
Margot didn’t go to work the next day because she had bad morning sickness. When Linda found out about it, she hurried home to accompany her.“I can’t believe what happened. Did that bastard hurt you?”Margot sighed before nodding her head slowly to her stepmother.“That bastard needs to be taught a lesson or two!” Linda roared, balling her hands into fists.Margot was surprised to see her stepmother like that. She realized Linda never acted that way until she told her about Harry’s illicit affair. She appreciated her company and couldn’t thank her enough for taking her side.“It’s okay. He won’t be able to do it again,” Margot replied before taking a spoonful of cake in her mouth. “I’ll make sure to send him where he belongs.”Linda bobbed her head with a gentle smile. “I’m glad to hear that. We’ll do everything so you’ll be free from that man,” she said, cutting another slice of cake for Margot. “I heard from your Dad that something’s happening in the company. He doesn’t know about
The Good Wife's Enemy 67: The Turning Point
“Who’s that man you’ve been seeing every week? Did you think I wouldn't know about him?”Margot’s ears perked at Harry’s statement. She couldn’t believe he wouldn’t stop assuming things he did himself. “Oh, please. Stop it.”Harry’s eyes glinted from Margot's reaction. He was almost sure she was also having an affair behind his back. “I’m telling you, Margot. I’ll keep my lips sealed about it if you want. But you have to clarify that we’re not having problems and what happened at the party last time was a misunderstanding.”A sly smile formed on his lips. “What do you think?”Margot’s face was painted with disgust. “Go ahead. Tell everyone about what you think. I didn’t commit any atrocities, so I’m not worried. I don’t know what made you think I'm like you, but good luck anyway.”She walked away when Harry opened his mouth again.“Leo Brown,” he said, following her. “Isn’t that name familiar? You’ve been meeting him in secret, haven't you? Is it every Friday?”Margot halted, speechle
The Good Wife's Enemy 66: Manipulation Gone Wrong
Margot was quite amazed when her mother-in-law and her husband’s mistress stayed longer outside the door than she expected. She was done changing into comfortable clothes and preparing dinner while the two remained, banging on her door. She tried not to but ended up calling the cops on them. Luckily for them, they left before the cops arrived.“I’m back. Did something happen?” Rosaline asked when she walked into the living room to find Margot in a daze.“Oh, you’re here. How’s the first day of the internship?” Margot smiled, wiping the frown off her face. She patted the space next to her, letting Rosaline sit.“It’s fine, I guess. I think I can do it,” Rosaline replied, sounding confident.Margot didn’t think of befriending Rosaline at first. But she was glad they were able to get to know more each other. She was surprised to find out how interesting the young lady was.“By the way, did my mother come here? I’ve seen her texts on my way home. She seemed upset,” Rosaline mumbled, her v
The Good Wife's Enemy 65: Unwanted Visitor
Margot let out a groan as she sat back on the sofa. Her eyes shut as soon as her back rested, her body giving in to the exhaustion. She had a rough day after talking with her father. Since she didn’t want to waste time, she had to do something to save the company.She was drifting to sleep when she heard her phone ringing. Fishing the device from her bag, Margot checked the caller before taking it, smiling.“Attorney,” she greeted, rubbing her forehead, her eyes closed again. “How’s everything going?”“Miss Vanders…” Atty. Powell took a deep breath. “Everything is ready. I’m just waiting for your signal to execute the plan.”Pleased, Margot nodded and hummed. “Did you hear from Dad? He ought to know that there’s nothing to worry about. But knowing him, I bet he wouldn’t be able to relax until we get rid of those people in the company. Anyway, how about the other thing I asked for?”“Oh, that one. I’m still on it. I’ll let you know once the detective I hired sends me the report,” the l
The Good Wife's Enemy 64: Ever-ready
Margot hid her smile as she walked out of the restroom. She felt better after puking everything she ate for breakfast. Although it made her worry as her stomach was now empty, she decided to finish her work as soon as possible and get something to eat.“You’re here,” Vivian said, blocking Margot’s way. “I don’t know what mess you made this time but the Chairman’s secretary is looking for you.”Margot turned behind her and found her father’s secretary. She took a deep breath and shrugged. “I guess I have to wait until lunch to eat something,” she mumbled, turning around to the door.Margot hadn’t seen her father since the last time when she asked for a favor, letting her join Harry on a business trip, which her father ultimately declined. “I wonder how he’s doing,” she said, tapping her fingers on her arm while waiting for the elevator to stop.“Please come inside. The chairman is waiting for you,” her father’s secretary said after walking her to the door and knocking. “Sir, Miss Vande
