9: Revenge Is Sweet
Last Updated:
2024-09-02 01:30:21Margot 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.

Leo tapped his fingers on the table. It had been fifteen minutes since he hung up the call with Margot. The latter said nothing and cried over the phone for five minutes. After that, he made sure to tell her to come to the hospital so they could meet. Although Margot didn’t say she’d come, he assumed she would and had been waiting for her.“Doc, I don’t think she’s still coming. She probably went home to rest,” Hannah said, enduring the noise caused by the doctor’s tapping.“Home? She wouldn’t want to be there if the reason she cried again was her husband,” Leo commented, furrowing his eyebrows as he started pacing back and forth.Hannah was almost done getting ready to leave. She wasn’t working overtime and she wished the doctor would do the same. Otherwise, she’d end up handling tons of work again if he couldn’t manage to finish them in his condition.“I understand you’re worried about the patient. Even I was worried too, but you can’t just stay here and wait for her until she comes

Margot woke up to the gentle taps on her cheek. She was welcomed by Leo who looked at her with a frown. She didn’t realize it before, but Leo seemed to love frowning a lot.“We’re here. Let’s get something to eat first, then I’m sending you home,” he said, tilting his head outside. Going out for dinner wasn’t in his plan. But just before Margot could tell him her house address, she fell asleep.Leo considered waking her up, but she looked tired, so he went ahead to get a reservation in a restaurant and parked his car outside for a couple of hours, watching Margot sleep.“Ah, now that you mentioned it, I’m starving. I only had a sandwich for lunch and compared to the energy I spent working, a sandwich was not enough,” she said, forcing a smile.“I knew it. You were whispering like a ghost when I called you earlier because you’re hungry, right? Let’s go. It’s my treat,” Leo smiled and got out of the car. He rushed to the other side to open the door for her but Margot was already outside.

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

“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

“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

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

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

“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

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
