7: False Hope
Margot 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
The Good Wife's Enemy 13: Doctor’s Opinion
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.
