To say she was shocked was understatement. It was not even that because she was actually terrified. “What are you saying, Hendrix? Didn't you already sign the divorce paper? Your mother already filed that with me,” said the old woman. Margaux got frozen upon hearing that. She didn't know whether to laugh or to cry as she felt her body suddenly turn numb. “What?” Hendrix hissed in disbelief. Roxanne's mother smiled gently at him, “I was with her when she filed it. She said you asked her to do it since you were to busy with the company” Before Hendrix could react, someone had already pulled her back inside the suite. Everything was so fast that she felt dizzy and disoriented. “I knew he's up to no good,” Daisy commented. “C'mon, move there and treat my wound!” Cali whined as he nudged her. Margaux blinked several times before finally realizing she was back inside the suite. She quickly went to the bathroom and took the first aid kit. “Be my nurse since it's because of you why
The Montello's manor was very busy for the whole week. A lot of famous people who expertised in organizing big events were hired to make sure that the welcome party was meticulously organized and successful. “I don't remember this place had been this busy before,” Daisy commented as she sat on her chair with professional artists doing her hair and make-up. “This is so refreshing,” she giggled. Everyone agreed while those professionals sighed in excitement as it was their first time coming to the Montello's manor and had a glimpse of their wealth with their very eyes. Their land was so huge it can even be considered a small country inside London. The backyard was such a sight to see that pictures from postcards will be ashamed of. But the highlight was the manor, where they were standing at the moment. It was like a castle with real golds and diamonds that were used as the highlight design of the walls and structures. “How many people have confirmed their attendance by the way? Da
Hendrix didn't know why but he was excited coming to the party that night. As he finished fixing his hair and straightened his expensive suit, he took a last glance at the mirror and was ready to go. “Are you going now?” Roxanne queried. He frowned upon seeing the woman waiting outside his door. “What are you doing here?” he asked sternly. His eyes squinted as he looked at the woman who was fully dressed. He didn't know if they were also invited to the welcome party and he didn't care about it at all. What he didn't understand was why she was waiting there as if they were going to the event together. “I won't go with you if that's why you are here,” he said without waiting for her to answer and walked past her immediately. “Wait!” Roxanne blocked him. Hendrix glared at her, if not for the fact that she's pregnant, he would've pushed her already. “Say it now and don't waste my time,” he said impatiently. He's not the person who's fond of small talk. More importantly, he hates
Hendrix wasn't interested in the successor of Don Geromino. His priority at that moment was Margaux and nothing else. And even when he pulled his mother on the other side faraway from his wife, his eyes were fixated on her, never leaving his gaze on her as if she would disappear if he did. The host of the party was already speaking and everyone was quiet and listening intently to what he was saying except for him. His full attention was with the most beautiful and gorgeous woman he had ever laid his eyes on. His throat went dry when his eyes went down on that burgundy dress that hugged her body. But his jaw almost dropped on the floor when she suddenly turned around and showed her almost naked back. ‘Why was she wearing a backless suit?!’ his mind was going to explode. The diamond crisscross strap on her back shone brightly, desperately begging for attention. Hendrix drew a heavy breath. He badly wanted to go to her and covered her with his blazer. But then his brows knitted toget
It took a while before Margaux finally answered. That's why after saying those words, loud cheers and laughter erupted inside the manor. The place became unusually very lively, far from the traditional formal parties that everyone had to be calculated with their every move. Margaux smiled and looked at her father, “But even if I'm single, I don't think I'm available,” she added. Don Geronimo laughed heartily. He then rested his hand around her shoulder, “Don't worry, Princess, we'll support whatever you do. You're of age now. I think it's time to search for your future husband,” he said meaningfully. “Uncle, Margaux is actually looking for a boyfriend right now!” Daisy shouted which caught everyone's attention. Margaux glared at her, but Daisy just winked in return. While Saab and Dinah were chuckling on her side whilst looking at her. “Really? Well then, that's good news right?” asked Don Geromino. “That's the greatest news I've ever heard!” someone shouted from the crowd. All
“What are you–” Margaux hadn't finished her sentence yet when Hendrix hastily strode towards her and grabbed her wrist. Her chest pumped wildly as their skin touched. She felt as if she got electrified as soon as the top of his finger came in contact with her skin. “Are you cheating on me?!” Hendrix hissed. Her eyes widened in utter disbelief. “What are you saying? Let me go!” she screamed as her anger flared up in an instant.The audacity of that guy! Who does he think he was?! “Let Margaux's hand go, Mr,” Jack said calmly. He then took Margaux's free hand and pulled her towards him, however, Hendrix didn't let go and pulled her towards him as well. Margaux felt a little disoriented as the two men had a tug of war with her as the rope. “Mind your own business, Mr Simon. This is a marital problem between us. You are out of it,” he said harshly. Margaux threw Hendrix a glare as she yanked her arm away from him with all her strength. “Are you crazy?! What marital problem are yo
Margaux smirked when she watched Wilma's face get drained of blood. She was white as paper and seemingly about to faint any second. Standing on her side was David, who was holding her for support while his eyes were staring coldly at her. “So, why are you talking to them?” Daisy shook her head in displeasure, “Shouldn't you mingle with more important people than hang out with them who are insignificant to us?” her tone was sharp as she deliberately looked at Hendrix's parents while saying it. Margaux's eyes glinted upon seeing David's face darkened. Honestly, just like his son, she hadn't interacted with him even once. Because the old man was just always on the side, silently watching his wife throwing insults at her. When she felt someone hold her hand, Margaux finally averted her gaze from Hendrix's parents and looked at her aunt Belinda. “Come here, Sweetie. Let's just catch up,” Belinda said softly then gently pulled her away from the crowd. Just like what Daisy said, aside
“Secretary?” Margaux raised her eyebrows then stared at Roxanne. She didn't know what to react as it would just finally make sense as to why Hendrix was practically in his office and only went home to sleep. “His mother begged me to work as his secretary! I agreed because you can't take care of him!” Roxanne defended. Abigail was about to say something but Margaux stopped her. She shook her head to her cousin and smiled at Roxanne. “You don't need to explain. No one is asking you,” she said casually, although deep inside, she was in rage. “Why are you even with us? Do you need anything?” she queried. She smirked when Roxanne was rendered speechless. But it wasn't enough to satisfy her though, because the pain she felt when the woman showed her their pictures and ultrasound was still fresh in her heart. That woman had to feel it too, and the pain should be double that hers. “You're wasting our time,” she shook her head, “We're talking here and you're disturbing us,” she added. “Y
