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

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

“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

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

“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

“Damn it!” Harry cursed under his breath. He pulled away from Nadine to face his wife who looked at them, dumbfounded. “This isn’t what you think, hon.”Margot raised her left eyebrow. Her mouth slightly opened but no words came out of it. She had a lot of things to say but contemplated.“I was… I was just helping Nadine. We’re not doing anything. You see, we’re just in an awkward position but—” Harry stopped talking when he saw his wife smiling. “Margot…”“What are you talking about?” Margot stepped inside the elevator with a confused look on her face. “Did something happen to your secretary? I don’t think your room is on this floor,” she said, looking clueless as much as possible.Harry loosened his tie to breathe. “Nadine fell so I had to catch her. That’s why you caught us in that awkward position,” he said, giving his secretary a meaningful look.Nadine nodded and cleared her throat. “That’s right,” she stuttered. “I fell,” her voice cracked for a second. “Thank you for helping m

Margot stared at the man in front of her. She couldn’t believe he would accept her invitation. Her lips curled up as she started a conversation.“I’m honored to finally meet you in person,” Margot said, her voice filled with sincerity.The man laughed. “I should be saying that. It’s a pleasure to meet you,” he said, raising his glass of wine.Margot did the same and took a sip of her red wine.Ever since she started working in the company, she had been secretly working on a project the chairman gave her. It was the condition to prove her abilities in handling the business. For Margot to gain her father’s trust, she had to make the project successful while also working as the product manager of the company. It wasn’t easy, but she was the type to never back down until she gained the result she wanted.Bruce Gardner, a renowned chef who refused to work with other companies nor opened a restaurant himself, was Margot’s solution to success. She wouldn’t be coming to the other side of the

Margot took a deep breath after waking up the next morning. She finished a bottle of wine and managed to sleep in bed after getting drunk. She couldn’t help celebrating the small win she had.Dragging her body out of the bed, Margot took a shower. She spent a good ten minutes washing off the stench of alcohol from her body. She blew her hair dry, dressed up, and went to check on her husband. She wondered if he was able to manage his work and his secret affair.“Margot? What are you doing here?” Harry yawned after opening the door when Margot didn’t stop knocking. “I told you, don’t disturb me. I came here to work, not to go sightseeing with you,” he added.“Coming from you? Look at yourself. It’s already past 9 in the morning and you just woke up,” Margot sneered, shaking her head in disappointment.Harry’s eyes almost jumped out of their sockets when he checked the time. “Damn it! Why didn’t that woman wake me?” He rushed inside and desperately put on his clothes.Margot followed ins

“I… I need your help!”Margot flinched, her husband’s mistress asking for help was something she didn’t even want to hear. “You’ve got the wrong person. Though I'm quite surprised that you still manage to make a call. Did you finally decide to leave that man alone now that he’s going to prison?”She took a deep breath and went on before Nadine could say something. “Well, it’s not my concern anymore.”Margot hung up and blocked the number, making sure she wouldn’t get any unwanted calls again. She took a deep breath and sighed before going back to sleep.The next morning, Margot woke up and found Linda preparing lunch.“How are you feeling? Did you get a good sleep?” Linda asked, serving the food. “Your Dad took care of the door and had someone clean up the mess this morning. He said you can go back anytime, but you’re free to stay here with us as long as you want,” she informed her with the usual gentle smile she had.“Thanks, bu
The Good Wife's Enemy Chapter 81: One More Goodbye
Margot let out a sigh of relief when the cops arrested Harry. She felt she could finally relax, expecting things to get better.“Here’s a glass of water, sweetie.” Linda placed a glass of water on the table in front of Margot. She then sat next to Ryan who was leaning on his back on the sofa opposite his daughter.“Thanks,” Margot said, taking a few gulps of water. A weak yet satisfied smile curled up on her lips as she looked at her father. “I’ve already instructed Attorney Powell on what to do next. He’ll make sure Harry and Emma pay for the crime they’ve committed,” she said, clenching her fists under the table.“He’ll give you a call by tomorrow,” Margot added, rubbing her temple.Ryan nodded. “Thank you. I appreciate it, but you’ll have to rest first. We’ll handle the rest from here,” he said, assuring his daughter.“That’s right, sweetie. Your dad and I will take care of it. You’ve done the best you can. Just focus on yourself now a

“What’s with that woman? She acts highly of herself just because I left her alone for some time, huh? Does she think she can forever escape my grasp? I would never agree to divorce, never!” Harry hissed, taking off his coat and tossing it somewhere before throwing himself on the sofa.He had another bad day, dealing with lots of problems regarding his newest project. And all he could think of was it was Margot's fault. He couldn’t stop blaming his wife who added to his problem by suggesting a divorce.“What is she doing in that lousy place? Did she know the owner? She wouldn’t usually go out to other places other than her family’s,” he muttered, thinking back to his encounter with Margot.“You’re back. I cooked something earlier. I’ll prepare it,” Nadine said, sneaking from behind him. Her thin arms snaked around his neck, only to annoy him even more.“Get away from me,” Harry snarled, his expression dark. “What are you now? A cook? Stop playing a
The Good Wife's Enemy Chapter 79: Breaking Boundaries
After spending the whole afternoon with her family, Margot went home to rest. The house was empty as Rosaline had somewhere to go. Margot decided to take a nap, indulging herself in peace. She felt a lot better after getting the support she needed from her loved ones.Although her father was quite unhappy that she had to bear Harry’s child, Ryan ended up looking at the brighter side. After all, they all wanted Margot to have what she wanted, and she had been praying for a child for years.“It’s almost over,” Margot whispered as she closed her eyes.As she lay down, the weight of the past few months slowly began to lift, replaced by a sense of calm and relief. She knew that the coming days would still hold challenges, but with her family by her side, she felt stronger and even more prepared to face whatever came next.In the quiet room, Margot’s breathing slowed as she slipped into a deep sleep.A few hours later, Margot woke up to a loud

Margot shrugged as she watched Harry walk away. She didn’t expect to see him, especially when she was having lunch with her parents and friends. After a couple of months, Margot’s baby bump became slightly noticeable, although it might still take some time for people to tell her she was pregnant.In two months, Margot was glad when Harry stopped pestering and sending her gifts. She was grateful she didn’t have to waste her time on him and focused on her newly opened business instead. The company she started was meant to rival Harry’s project, and as she expected, Margot managed to blow a good hit on her husband’s pride when her restaurant became more famous than his.“Did he come to complain?” she muttered, shaking her head.“Miss Vanders!”Margot turned around and saw the person behind her successful business. A smile curled on her lips as she walked toward him. “Chef Gardner,” she greeted, smiling from ear to ear.“You’re late,” Bruce j

“What do you mean the sales dropped?!” Harry slammed his hands on the table, glaring at everyone inside the meeting room. “This can’t be happening. Do whatever it is that needs to be done. I can’t fail on this one,” he grumbled, leaning his back on his seat.Everything has been going smoothly since the new branch opened. Harry was expecting it would continue until he received the latest report of the sales. He couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the decrease in profit.“Hah! If you’ve tried harder to get Bruce Gardner, this wouldn’t even happen. How come you can’t even take care of such an easy task?” Harry lashed out at his secretary.John, his new secretary after Nadine was fired, handed a report. “About that… It seems to me that Bruce Gardner accepted another offer,” he said.Harry snatched the folder and read the contents of the report. “WHAT?! He’s the chef of the rival business in front of us? Who would even dare to cha

“You will regret this, Margot. You’ll be crawling back to me, and guess what? No matter how much you beg, I won’t give a shit,” Harry said before leaving.Margot let out a sigh when Harry left. She couldn’t be more relieved seeing his back.“Are you alright?” Rosaline asked, sitting down on the empty seat.“Hmm. I guess,” Margot responded, rubbing her chest. “It doesn’t hurt that much. Maybe because I’m moving on… Though I won’t deny that I sometimes wish all of this didn’t happen. If only he didn’t cheat, maybe we’ll be happy now,” she continued, her voice fading.“But everything happens for a reason,” Margot added and smiled. “Let’s just say that even if he didn’t cheat on me in the past, he might still do it in the future. So, I’m also grateful that I found out in just three years. Some wives out there had to endure decades of deception, blinded by love and responsibility. I’m just glad I managed to make up my mind and letting go was the best c

“Flowers?”Margot peeked through the window and frowned when she saw a truck delivering flowers. “I didn’t order any,” she said, her expression turning sour when a certain someone came to mind.“Rosaline, can you tell them to return everything before they can unload those?” Margot said, sighing.Rosaline nodded and turned around to leave, but halted when she remembered something. “You don’t like flowers?” she asked.Shaking her head, Margot replied. “Not recently. You know, the person who always shoved flowers on my face is your brother,” she quietly laughed. “I used to find it romantic, but now that I know why he kept sending me flowers, it made me dislike the idea of getting them, especially from him,” Margot mumbled. “He used to give me a bunch of them when he’s trying to apologize for something,” she continued.Rosaline covered her mouth. “Oh! He sent quite a lot this time,” she muttered.“Yeah. But it won’t change my mind,”
The Good Wife's Enemy Chapter 74: Silent Cries
“Damn it, Margot. Why aren’t you picking up?” Harry grumbled, throwing his phone on the bed. He was trying to call his wife and have a chat with her like how he did in the past. As much as he didn’t want to do it, Harry had to take his chances to get Margot's trust back.“Hah! Fine. Once the new project is a success, I’ll give you the divorce you want so much. Let’s see if you can do anything if I have the board on my side,” he sneered, pulling out his hair in frustration.He glared at his surroundings, hating the fact that he had to live in the small condo he bought with his money. He thought that if Margot wasn’t being stubborn, she might have bought him the unit when he asked, and he wouldn’t have to spend a dime.“I know she still loves me. She even defied her father for me. I just need to be nice to her again and promise I won’t do it again, then she’ll forgive me.” Harry laughed, imagining Margot’s expression when she was done playing
