The Margot Affair Goodreads Novels & Stories

CHAPTER 2 ALEX I didn't give Lacy an answer. I only told her I would think about her offer. Then I bolted once I sensed my brain was about to go blank because I didn't want to do something regrettable. I was still trying to make peace with knowing that she married Blake. Then she had to hit me with such a tempting offer and now, I felt conflicted. I didn't think I should let such a life changing opportunity pass me by because I'd been living my worst nightmare for the past two years and I didn't want that anymore.

Her understanding and support helped me feel a little lighter, as if the weight of my sorrow was slowly being lifted. "Paris sounds incredible," she said after a while, handing me a freshly made Margarita. "I'm so proud of you for making the most of your trip, even with everything that happened." "Thanks, Mom," I replied, taking a sip of the drink. The familiar taste brought a small smile to my face. "I guess it wasn't all bad. I did get to see some amazing things and meet some interesting people at work." "And you learned a lot about yourself," she added, giving me a knowing look. "not meeting her again might be a sign. Who knows, maybe she'd have broken your heart into unrepairable pieces.

She could only drool and smile vacantly, muttering 'money' and 'men' over and over. Domenico looked at this woman who had once captivated him so completely that he had killed his wife and children for her. Now, all he felt was endless disgust and revulsion. He covered his nose and backed away several steps, as if confronted with something filthy. "This is the 'true love' you once treasured above all else." I stood to the side and said calmly, "Domenico, your taste in people is truly terrible." Domenico knelt on the ground with his head bowed low. He did not dare look at me or at Alice.

No training in subterfuge, no attempt to cover her tracks, no plan for escape if caught. Unless... Unless that was the plan. Make me think she was incompetent, harmless. Lower my guard. "Damn it," I muttered, pouring myself a drink. Nothing about Thea made sense. She was a contradiction wrapped in a mystery, and it was driving me insane. There was a knock at my door. "Enter." Margot stepped in, her expression grave. "My Lord, I've done as you asked. Searched the servant's quarters, questioned her roommates." "And?"

Not shouting questions at me this time, but speaking rapidly among themselves. “Camilla’s testimony confirms the timeline.” “Margot Sinclair weaponizes the affair with actress Eva Sterling, against Lucian Dhark…” “Public reaction is shifting after today’s hearing—” Microphones extended toward us as we passed. Margot kept walking without slowing, ignoring them. The car was waiting. When the door closed behind us, the noise finally disappeared. For a moment neither of us spoke. I leaned back against the seat and let out a slow, shaky breath. My hands were still trembling. Margot noticed it at once.

Gavin's entire body trembled, his already pale face draining of what little color it had left. His dark eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Margaret like a crouching wolf ready to strike. Margaret wasn't intimidated. She simply spoke, her tone cold and distant, "I don't know what happened between you and Marjorie. I don't know why she suddenly showed up in Endrophia... I don't know anything about your life anymore. But the one thing I do know, without a doubt, is that I'm not going back with you.

I stared at Margot's laptop again, praying for some miracle. And the miracle happened, but not in the form I had expected, or wanted. For the last few days, I wondered how Margot could miss all those issues. And now, I finally understood. She did not miss them. This little bi*ch was fully aware of them. One faulty project was possible, two- unfortunate coincidence. But all of them? There was no logical explanation for that.

His voice was warm and smooth. “It’s been a long time.” His words caught Margot off guard. But she quickly recalled what Vivienne had mentioned earlier: Dominic was four years her senior and had even held her when they were children. But that was twenty years ago and he remembered it that vividly? Shouldn’t such memories have faded by now? Margot kept such thoughts to herself as Vivienne ushered them both to sit down. Her tone was light and joyful, her delight barely concealed. “Margot had an accident in Veridian City and needs time to recover. The doctor says she should rest for a while.

Kane said, shrugging. “She helped you bug his house?” Des asked in shock. “Why the fuck would she do that? Do the two of you have any clue how dangerous that is?” “I know. That was my thought too but Margo helped her sister escape when he started having her followed. She owed her one.” Kane said. “And she actually bugged his house?” Dex asked, skeptically. “Yeah. Margo has this supercomputer room that puts yours to shame and it’s currently running nonstop as it processes all the information it’s getting from the bugs.” Kane said. “She did exactly as Margo asked.”
