Margaux’s eyes widened as she stood frozen on the spot but her hands had a mind of their own as they quickly pushed him away when she heard the old woman's loud gasp. “Hendrix! Are you cheating on our Princess?!” she didn't exclaim horrendously. Her face looked funny but Margaux didn't laugh. Her heart was full of resentment at her statement that she suddenly wanted to talk some sense to her. “I'm not in any relationship with Liana,” Hendrix scowled. “The news that I'm engaged with her isn't true,” he stated. Jane’s eyes went wide like saucers and her mouth opened widely after gasping so loud. “How come? It was the King who personally announced that!” she exclaimed. “He did it without my consent,” he sneered. “You saw me being dragged out earlier, why didn't you call the police?” “You were here when Liana's bodyguards took him?” She couldn't help but ask. She stared at the old woman in puzzlement. Her eyebrows were deeply furrowed as she didn't know what to think. “I..

“H-hendrix?” Margarita stuttered as soon as she saw him dashing towards her with heavy footsteps. His eyes were blaring. With her clenched jaw and fists, he was that close to punch her cousin out of rage. “Repeat what you had just said,'' he said icyly. However, the woman shook her head profusely, “I didn’t mean anything! She’s the one who forced me to say it!” she said then quickly pointed Margaux who was just silently watching in the corner and obviously seemed utterly shocked. “Are you taking me for a fool, Margarita? Say it or I will report you to the police for trespassing,” he threatened. He was so furious that he didn’t know whether he would let her stay there any longer after she repeated what she had just said to Margaux. He already lost his rationale the moment he directly heard from her cousin that she bullied Margaux during their marriage. “I have no place to stay! Please Hendrix, my money is just enough for my basic necessities for three days!” she pleaded. She

He heard a loud sigh form the other line. He knew that his friend was against his decision but had no say regarding whatever he wanted to do with his life. “By the way, what happened to the rumors circulating about my family?” He queried. He purposely did not mention that Margarita was there and said something about those rumors. He wanted to confirm if there was some truth about what she said aside of course her slander against Margaux. He was not stupid to believe everything she threw towards the woman he loved because even back then, he already noticed her lies just to make Margaux look bad. The only mistake he made was, he just let her do that and never confronted her. “It’s really messy,” Giro answered. Hendrix’s eyebrows furrowed upon hearing that. “How messy?” Giro scoffed, “Super messy!” he exclaimed. “Someone spread another rumor to counter the claim about your engagement with Roxanne and her pregnancy. It says that your mother just paid her to lure out your real wife

Margaux silently entered the manor. She saw her parents in the living room waiting for her, but she just ignored them and went straight to her room. She didn’t want to talk to them while her mind and emotion were all over the place. After showering, she felt a little better but still, it was not enough to improve her mood. Therefore, she decided to just lock herself in her room and unceremoniously threw herself on the bed. Shutting her eyes tightly, she let out an exasperated sigh. There was just too much happening that day and she felt exhausted and vexed. She tried to sleep because she wasn’t able to sleep the whole night since she was in Hendrix’s apartment and wasn’t comfortable there while thinking about what his mother had done. She let out an exasperated sigh. It was insane. She thought Liana and her parents were crazy but didn’t expect that Wilma was worse. Just because she didn’t like her for her son, she went down that low to part them away. Lifting her hands, sh

“Are you sure about your decision, Margaux?” Don Geronimo queried. Liana already left and she decided to talk to her parents thoroughly. She purposely didn’t answer her father because she wanted to know if the information they got from whoever was accurate. “I’m sure you already know what happened. I won’t ask you who told you about it, but I want to know how much you know,” she said. Felissa, her mother who was sitting next to her, held her left hand and squeezed it. “The Field Marshall reported to us that you called him for assistance,” She replied. Her hunched was right. She knew pretty well that she couldn’t hide that from her parents because first of all, that field marshall was a close friend of her father. He was very professional, and reporting about her to Don Geronimo was just normal because the situation was not just a normal thing. “He also told us everything, a detailed one so you have nothing to keep from us regarding what happened there in the Palace,” her father
