Margaux gave Carlos detailed instructions before ending the call. The enormous living room was silent once again and everyone was looking at her in puzzlement. “Aren't you officially divorce already?” Daisy frowned at her. “Yes,” she answered curtly. “Then why are you releasing his marriage certificate? And it was not even valid because you used your fake name when you signed it,” her cousin pointed out. Her lips pursed as it was one of the things she both regretted and felt relieved that she did at the same. Regret because she couldn't fully use it to throw it in Liana and her parents' face. While she felt relieved because she was still smart to not let herself be tied with Hendrix completely. “It's better that way. At least she wouldn't get involved in their mess,” Felissa muttered. Daisy nodded briefly before tilting her head after a few seconds, “What if they revealed the truth? Isn't it just going to be another problem?” Margaux thought about it for a second. It will likel

“Margaux already knew what?” Hendrix immediately asked as he tried to free his arms from the soldiers' tight grips. “Tell me!” he demanded impatiently. “Shut up and walk inside!” one of them kicked him on the shin hard enough that caused him to fall on his knees with a loud grunt. ‘Fvck!’ he cursed mentally.He had no intention to follow them. He was not one of them to comply nor a scaredy cat to obey. However, those soldiers were really ruthless, because before he could even recover from the pain, they already pulled him up harshly then dragged him again inside the main door like he was just a useless thing. Despite his protest and struggles, his strength was no match with two people who were twice bigger than him. He felt humiliated. As it was the very first time someone treated him like that. He was used to people lowering their heads when they saw him. They even avoided him for they were scared to offend him with their existence. Gritting his teeth, he never felt so useless.

Margaux stopped just right behind Liana and folded her arms. Her eyebrows instantly furrowed upon seeing Hendrix's swollen face. “How did you get in?” Liana scowled at her. Instantly, her gaze shifted to her cousin. She wanted to answer Hendrix's question right away, but she didn't want to miss the chance to see her defeated face. Raising her eyebrows, she flashed her a sardonic grin. “I entered through the gate,” she said sarcastically. “Why do you look surprised? Did you instruct the securities to not let me in?” She mentally laughed when Liana didn't respond and just clenched her fists while giving her a deadly glare.It was a sight to see the princess losing her composure because she was really good at keeping her facade and acting nonchalant in everything.“You won't be able to step your foot here again if I did that. I was just wondering why you came back,” Liana shrugged. Margaux narrowed her eyes when the woman quickly avoided her gaze. The corner of her lips then curved

“You’re crazy,” Margaux muttered while shaking her head. She felt another squeeze in her hand but that time, it was a little tight that she thought Hendrix would crush it. “You are so hopeless,” he said, which made her head immediately snap towards him. Her chest tightened as she thought he was talking to her. But seeing him looking fiercely at Liana, she realized it was for the Princess who had suddenly gone real mad. Hendrix pulled her closer to him until her body bumped against his hard chest. She then felt his other hand snaked around her waist and securely held her as though someone was going to snatch her from him. “You don’t deserve to be a princess,” he continued. “Your attitude is way worse than those delinquents who neglected educations and never knew about good manners and right conduct”To say she was shocked was understatement. Margaux didn’t expect the sudden turn of events because seriously, she was already planning to just ignore Liana the whole time while she wa

Margaux’s eyebrows knitted together as she stared incredulously at Hendrix. She then quickly scooted away as if he had a contagious disease.She wanted to scold him and asked what he was doing. But she just kept her mouth shut knowing that Liana was there, intently watching them. “Just stare at each as long as you want while the guards haven’t arrived to take Mr Mondragon away from you. This might be the last time you are going to see each other,” the secretary said while smirking at them smugly. Margaux arched an eyebrow. She leaned her back on the couch and mirrored her expression, “Really?” she chortled.The woman scoffed. As if she didn’t like her reaction. But what can she do? The woman seemed too confident there won't be any problem coming in their way, not knowing that in a few minutes, the men she brought along with her were coming to save them. She instructed them to give her half an hour to stay in the room and talk with Liana. She wanted to give her a chance to back out
