As the door closed, she picked up her pace and hurried to the CEO's office. All thanks to her mother, Juliana, who insisted she eat before leaving, Margarita turned up late for the meeting.A calm knock on the door interrupted Mr. Barlowe's thinking space. He looks ahead, his glasses firmly placed on his nose bridge."It's open," He says.The door was then pushed open from the outside, and Margarita strode in with a sheepish smile.His typical stoic expression softens as he sees her. He beams, placing the documents he was working on above a pile of other files. He gets up from his chair and walks forward, embracing his little daughter."Oh, Daddy, good morning. Why did you leave without waiting for me?"She whines. Mr. Barlowe chuckles."You were sleeping so soundly and peacefully, I couldn't bear to wake you up."He responded. "Also, it's past noon already; the morning has already said goodbye for the day.""Ah! Is that so? Well, it doesn't matter again. I already said that."Margarit
The law of love and revenge 1. Shopping for the gown
Margarita's pov"I think this gown suits you the most," Lucinda proposed, beaming as she picked up the gigantic wedding gown from the clothes rack.My expression stiffened as I stared at it. It was a pretty long, extravagant dress that had gems and flowers on it for beautification. The off-shoulder gown has a slit from the knee area, and below it are different-shaped diamonds. A long length of lace drifted behind. It looked utterly gorgeous and breathtaking. Yet, I wasn't enticed to buy this gown. What use will it have if I'm only going to wear the gown once in my lifetime? Am I just going to lock such a glamorous wedding dress in my closet for life? No, I'd rather go for a simpler one.I turned towards Lucinda, quirking my brows as I noticed her gaze was focused on her phone. I strode to her position, lifting my watchful eyes at her phone, and I noticed she was having a conversation with Murphy.Smiling as I thought Murphy couldn't even stay a moment without seeking out my whereabo
The law of love and revenge 2. Making her his heir
Lucinda was dressed in the same wedding gown she'd earlier proposed I go for. It looked way too extravagant for her, but it still didn't make her look less beautiful in it. Her shoulders were held high as she let out a pearl of laughter. Following my line of sight, I noticed Catalina, my best friend, placing a white veil on Lucinda's hair.My heart instantly turned cold, and my mouth went bitter. "What's going on here?" The sales attendant beside me spoke before I could utter the word."Only the bride is meant to try on the gowns in our store. It's written on that banner," she chided, looking rather paranoid as she pointed at the banner that was placed on the wall.Catalina and Lucinda both turned at the same time. They held the 'I had no idea' looks and then stared at each other, without sparing me a glance.Catalina helped Lucy take off the dress and put on the blouse and pants she had earlier worn."Well, you don't have to worry about the gown," Lucinda muttered, staring directly a
The law of love and revenge 3. Wedding day
"Big sis," I called out, shocked at how haggard she looked. "Why are you smoking again, and what are you doing with alcohol? Didn't you already quit your smoking and drinking addictions? Did you pick up the habit again?" I raised a question as I carefully walked up to her.I snatched the cigarette stick from her hand and threw the glass of alcohol against the wall, shattering it as all the contents poured on the floor.Lucinda faced me. She grabbed me by the throat and pointed at me. "You, Margarita Remington, you are my number one enemy, aren't you?" She questioned me, her hands tightly wrapped around my throat.I shook my head in horror. "Nn...no, of course not," I stuttered. She laughed maniacally. "You are everything better than I am. You are the apple of his eye, and now you are his sole heir. Hahaha, what am I? A nobody, huh?""No, big sis, you are not a nobody. I'm planning on giving you everything you deserve; I had no plans to take what is rightfully yours," I cried out. Dist
The law of love and revenge 4. Once upon a time
She sat in front of the vanity mirror, getting dressed by two stylists and their assistants. One was applying makeup to her face, while the other was almost done with her hair.She was looking stunning like a bride should. Her hair was curled in a side bun, leaving two strands on each side. The makeup on her face was exquisite, with a single-layer foundation and bright red lipstick.Her brows were carved in like waves of the sea, and her lashes were straightened with light mascara. A pair of shimmering diamond earrings on her ears and a matching necklace around her neck.She looked down at the sparkling white gown that was utterly gorgeous, with sparkling pearls and diamonds all over. It had joints with white laces, and the length covered a long distance backward.She smiled sheepishly as she gawked at her glistening silver heels and white veil. She couldn't wait to arrive at the wedding venue. But first, she needed to put some people in their place.Her eyes shone with ruthlessness an
The law of love and revenge 5. Reborn - to redeem her lost glory
Margarita closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face. She didn't want to believe what Lucinda was saying—that the sister whom she had loved and cared for was not blood-related to her.She is a monster who took the life of her mother. Her gaze trailed to Murphy, whom she had wholeheartedly loved for years.; He was with Lucinda, and all the care and love were fake."You killed our mom. She raised you as her own. Dad might discriminate between us, but Mom never did. How could you be so heartless to have done this?"Margar cried; she pointed at Lucinda, her eyes blurry as she sobbed. Lucinda laughed out loud like a maniac."You are so stupid and silly, hahaha; how could I not? She'll only foil my plans if I don't. In the car accident, it was me who was driving that truck. And Cathy had tempered with the car break. Murphy here has cleared every piece of evidence," she declared, still laughing."It didn't stop there; the adopted daughter made sure she had snatched everything from her pri
The law of love and revenge 6. A change for the better
Margarita looks up at her mom, who is smiling at her. She beams happily and trails her fingers across Juliana's face."I'm fine, mom; I just miss you," She replied. Juliana found her amusing and chuckled."You saw me just before we went to sleep last night; how come you already miss me? I see you are trying to curry favor with me," Juliana said with a teasing smile, and Margar blushed.She tucked her hair behind her ears and reached out to take the plate of baked pancakes from her mother. After a bit, she giggles."This is super tasty, mummy; I miss it too. You should make them often. Also, the night was a long one, so I miss you," Margar relished, and Juliana hummed as she watched her daughter eat.Although she was an adult already, she couldn't help but wish Margarita could spend a few years without growing up so she could spoil her rotten. She was married for nine years and was childless until, eventually, she got pregnant and gave birth to her bundle of joy."Alright, baby, finish
