The Good Wife's Enemy 48: She’s Back
“Are you sure you’re going to be alright? I can stay with you until you’re fully recovered,” Linda said, holding Margot’s hand after driving her home.Margot had to stay in the hospital for three more days before she was discharged. She was still wearing a bandage around her head but the wound was healing.“It’s fine, Mom. I can take care of myself. It was my fault for being careless last time,” Margot said and pulled back her hand. She gave Linda a flying kiss before getting out of her car.“Call me when you need a backup!” Linda said from the driver's seat, making her stepdaughter smile.“I will,” Margot replied, waving her hand. She walked toward the door of their house while checking the surroundings.Harry’s car was parked so she expected him to be home. While she was recuperating in the hospital, her husband never visited.Margot opened the door and found Nadine moving her things to the living room. She raised her eyebrow at the sight and greeted her husband’s mistress.“Well, w

“You’re gonna regret this, Margot. I swear!” Harry grabbed his hair in frustration after Margot took the car key and went back inside the house.She flashed a devilish smile at him and waved her hand. “Bye,” she mumbled before closing and locking the door.Harry was left outside with Nadine, not knowing what to do. The embarrassment he felt had reached the limit. He knew he wouldn’t forgive Margot for what she did.Meanwhile, Margot stood by the window and watched her husband leave with his mistress. “He didn’t even deny it. Who cares? I’m going to proceed as planned no matter what.”She took her phone and called her lawyer. “Atty. Powell, how’s everything?”Margot’s eyes narrowed for a moment before a sweet smile appeared on her lips. “Thanks for your hard work. My husband threatened me to divorce him. I have no problem with the divorce, but I don’t appreciate him bringing it up when he’s the one at fault,” she paused and looked at her reflection on the glass.“I want you to do somet

Leo tapped his finger on the table while staring at the same document for almost an hour. He was trying to pull himself together but after bumping into Margot in the elevator and seeing her head wrapped in bandages, he couldn’t help thinking what could have happened.“It’s not something related to her husband’s illicit affair, is it?” Leo mumbled to himself, still couldn’t get Margot off his mind.“Doc? Hello? Can you hear me?” Hannah flicked her fingers in front of the doctor but his concentration was top notch and she suddenly felt like her presence wasn’t enough.“Doc, Mrs. Walton is waiting outside,” Hannah finally said, using Margot as her last resort.Leo jolted from his seat and fixed his coat. “Let her in,” he said, making his assistant laugh. “What? Do I look funny?” Leo asked Hannah with her eyebrows knitted.“No, you don’t. You’re acting funny, though. Mrs. Walton doesn’t have an appointment today. She’ll be here tomorrow. Today’s only Thursday,” Hannah informed him.Leo al

Margot stared at nothing in particular. She had been sitting in the driver’s seat of her car for minutes. Dr. Vivian’s voice kept ringing in her head and it felt like a dream to hear the result of her pregnancy test.“Congratulations! You’re five weeks pregnant,” Dr. Vivian informed her after.Margot was hoping for it to happen for years and she was undoubtedly happy about it. The only problem was Harry, the father of her baby. She was ready to send him to hell when the baby appeared in the picture, making her think twice about revenge.“What should I do now?” Margot asked herself, placing her hand on her not-so-noticeable baby bump.She was so deep in her thoughts that she didn’t hear the phone ringing. It took her another couple of minutes before realizing that someone was calling. Margot checked her phone when it rang again for the nth time. A tear fell from her eye when she saw Linda’s name flashing on the screen.“Sweetheart! Finally, you answered. Are you busy?” Linda asked as so

Leo let out a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness. You shouldn’t ignore what happened, especially when your husband’s mistress was involved. Did you tell your family about this?”“Yes,” Margot nodded her head. “They didn’t know I’m pregnant though. If they did, they wouldn’t wait for me to wake up before screwing up my husband’s mistress,” she said, smiling.“Still, you should be more careful.” Leo clenched his fist. “About your pregnancy, did you tell your husband?” he asked, staring at her face.Margot’s expression turned sour. “No way. He’s probably going to use this baby against me. I know my husband, he’s going to manipulate me into submitting to him just because I’m carrying his child. He would do anything to keep me on the leash like he did for the past few years we’ve been together,” she said, gritting her teeth.“I rather divorce him now. But it’s not going to be easy,” Margot mumbled.“Why? Didn’t you have evidence of his affair?” Leo asked, his eyebrows knitted.Margot nodded.

After talking to Leo, Margot dropped by the supermarket to buy groceries and other ingredients. She decided to be extra careful while continuing to work on her revenge. She had to delay the final strike but it was fine as long as she could keep the baby safe.While being pregnant could be her weakness, Margot thought she just had to hide it from Harry, just like how she hid her cancer diagnosis before. Although it would be impossible to hide the bump after a few months, she wanted to keep her pregnancy a secret as long as possible.“What the hell is he doing here?” Margot blurted out when saw her husband in the living room when she came home. She raised her brow as she walked past him and headed to the kitchen.“Margot,” Harry called, following behind. “We need to talk,” he added, trying to get her attention.Margot hummed and started sorting her groceries and veggies. She didn’t want to listen or even talk to him so she remained quiet.“Fine. I’m sorry,” Harry continued when his wife

After careful consideration, Margot agreed to let Harry stay in the house. She made it clear that she would kick him out if he did something that would irritate her.Harry had no choice but to comply just to save some face. He could stay in a hotel but he was worried that others might find out about it and rumors about his crumbling marriage would start.“You have to buy your food. I’m only letting you stay here to sleep, that’s all. The bathroom is free though, BUT you can’t touch my food,” Margot told him as he prepared her dinner.“Hungry?” she asked, noticing how Harry eyed her meal. “Order something,” she added. Margot couldn’t forget how Harry wasted the food she prepared for him before. She never complained although saying she wasn’t hurt about his action would be a lie.Harry said nothing and let Margot do what she wanted. If not for his birthday party which his wife carefully planned for him, he wouldn’t even beg to make up with her. Margot invited well-known people in high s

“Margot!” Linda headed toward her stepdaughter with an open arms. “I thought you’re not coming. I’m surprised that you even prepared this party for that guy,” she commented, pouting as she gently bumped her cheek against Margot’s.“I’m quite surprised myself. Well, I made a preparation months ago so let it be,” Margot responded, keeping a playful smile on her lips.Linda shook her head and took a sip from her glass. “Let’s enjoy the night then,” she remarked and grinned. “Your dad said he can’t come, I hope you don’t mind. He has business to take care of.”“No problem. It’s a shame he won’t witness the show tonight but I don’t want him to get mad if something happens,” Margot kept smiling when a waiter passed by, inviting her to get a glass of champagne. She was about to take it when Linda stopped her.“Oh, no. You’re not drinking, sweetie. How about an orange juice?” Linda suggested, telling the waiter to bring an orange juice for Margot instead. “You see, you just recently left the h

“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

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
The Good Wife's Enemy Chapter 80: Facing the Fallout
“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
The Good Wife's Enemy Chapter 78: Embracing the Future
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
