2024-09-01 01:30:14Margot continued playing as Harry’s good wife. She woke up at dawn to prepare everything her husband needed before going to work. She served him like a housemaid, making sure he got the best treatment. But behind Margot’s faithful act was a broken-hearted wife who was waiting in the dark to strike back.
“The breakfast is excellent. We don’t even need to hire a chef to cook for us,” Harry complimented after having his daily delicious breakfast.
“I’m glad you enjoyed it,” Margot smiled and wiped her husband’s lips with a napkin. “So, does this mean you’re having dinner with me tonight? You have no idea how lonely I can get when I’m alone in the house, Honey… Especially at night when it’s cold,” she hinted to him while gently rubbing the side of h

Margot emptied the snot off her nose after crying into her doctor’s chest. She was happy when someone was willing to listen to all her worries without judging her and why she made such decisions in life. But after crying for almost an hour, she suddenly realized that what she had done before her doctor was embarrassing. “I’m sorry… And thank you,” Margot whispered as she pinched her arm. She started developing new habits after she found out about her illness and Harry’s infidelity. Leo noticed them too and couldn’t help but worry about his patient. “Don’t do that, Margot. You’re hurting yourself,” he said, taking out his hanky and wiping the blood off her scratched arm. “And stop biting your fingernails when you’re overthinking. Try doing something else that’s safe. These new habits of yours will only cause you harm,” he added, putting a bandaid on every scratch she had made in her arms. “Something like what? Do you suggest I follow my husband secretly and watch his every move? Then

Margot was humming as she packed lunch for Harry. She had a good night’s sleep after seeing him finish the dinner she prepared. She couldn’t wait to see him suffer the effects of laxatives she mixed in with his food.“Good morning, hon. What’s that?” Harry kissed her on the cheek while wrapping her arms around her waist from the back.Margot paused and chuckled. She couldn’t contain the excitement she felt while looking forward to Harry’s huge embarrassment once the laxative took effect while he was working in the office.“Did something happen? You look happy,” Harry commented and sat on the table to have his breakfast. He couldn’t help but frown and wonder why Margot kept smiling.

“I’m glad you came, sweetheart. I was worried you’d decline my invitation,” Linda said with a sheepish grin.“It’s okay. I was on my way back from Harry’s office, so I thought dropping by wouldn’t hurt,” Margot replied.“Still, I’m so happy to see you again.” Linda clasped her hands together. The heavy layer of makeup on her face didn’t help her hide the exhaustion and stress she felt.Margot noticed it but chose to keep quiet. After assuming that Linda was Harry’s mistress, she couldn’t talk to her like before. Margot also said mean things about Linda and wondered if the latter would understand if she told her what was happening in her marriage.“Are you staying for dinner? You have no idea how much I missed you.”

“I can’t believe this. You have something to do with this, right? Did you put something in my food or what? I wouldn’t have to suffer this humiliation if you didn’t play a trick behind my back!” Harry glowered at his wife in frustration. He just finished his thirty-minute session in the toilet and went straight to their bedroom where Margot was trying to fall asleep.Margot rolled her eyes and covered her ears, something she had never done to her husband before as it would have been deemed disrespectful. She yawned and stared at Harry who was still fuming.“What are you talking about?” She asked, feigning innocence. There was no way she’d admit to what she did when Harry kept lying to her. “I don’t understand what you mean, honey. If you’re done with your business, why

“Have you calmed down? I’d like you to apologize to Nadine. She’s still terrified after what you’ve done,” Harry told his wife, staring at her from across the table. Tapping his fingertips, Harry frowned when Margot remained quiet.“Did you not hear me? I said, apologize. She’ll be working alongside me from now on and the way you treated her earlier might hinder her performance,” he added, his voice mixed with dismay and agitation.Margot crossed her legs and leaned her back. Her arms rested on her thighs as she smiled. “I don’t want to,” she replied, emphasizing every word.Harry lost his composure and slammed the table. He shot daggers at his wife, who rebelled against his order. Margot was only lovely in hi

Leo couldn’t help but frown as he read through the same file for hours. He didn’t have any scheduled patients and he spent his time checking about a certain patient’s medical history. He knew he shouldn’t bother as it was not included in his job, but he had been sleepless for weeks.Ever since Margot cried during her session, Leo couldn’t forget her tear-stained face. It was all he could see whenever he tried to close his eyes to sleep. And whenever he managed to take a nap, Margot would be in his dreams or maybe his nightmares, crying and begging for help.Leo should do something about it. If he couldn’t get rid of Margot’s effect in his system, he might get involved in something he should avoid.“Hannah, how’s the task I gave you? Did you confirm if the patient will be coming today?” Leo asked his assistant, still glaring at the documents in his hands.“Yes, but…” Hannah hesitated for a moment until Leo raised his head to look at her.“What is it? Did she say something?” Leo clenched

Margot stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her burgundy blazer suit perfectly captured her body curves. The dark color of her clothes matched her skin tone, making her look ravishing, yet bold, at the same time.“It’s all about a good night’s sleep,” Margot commented and smiled at herself.Last night, Harry wouldn’t stop complaining about what she did—calling an ambulance on him and his secretary. He had so many things to say, and she knew it wouldn’t end until she apologized. She had no intention of doing so, so she went to the guest room and locked herself there to sleep.She later realized it was the best decision since marrying her husband.“Looks great. I&rsqu

Margot meant it when she said she was going to start working on the same day she was hired. After a brief introduction with her team, she started checking the competitive analysis for similar products that the company was about to launch. Everything was fine, but she wasn’t fully satisfied.“This is not going to work,” Margot stated as she let out a deep sigh. “I can’t believe they’re wasting a lot of money on products like this. Anyone could sell the same beauty products these days. Do they really think the company would profit from this?”She took off her glasses and brushed her hair up. It was only the first day, but Margot couldn’t sit still and do nothing when she saw a lot of errors in the way the previous manager managed the products they sold.

“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

“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

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,”

“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
