My Sweet Seduction

Heartbreak

CARS WERE ALREADY lined up in the hotel parking space when I arrived. I’m wearing a white halter

dress, matching with my silvery purse and my half-inch stilettos. I went straight to the main door, where

the entire function hall was almost filled with selected guests.

From here, I could see Mom and Dad, so I quickly approached them.

“Mom, Dad!”

I kissed them both on the cheek and hugged them slightly.

“Where have you been, hija? You’re late.” Dad asked me in a baritone voice.

“We thought you weren’t going to attend the party. We’re worried about you. We’ve been calling your

cellphone.” Mom added,

“I’m very sorry.” I apologized.

“The important thing is you’re here. And before I forgot, your friends are already here. They were

looking for you earlier.” Dad nods in their direction.

I smile widely because Julia, Samantha, and Ally are already there. Even the boys are complete—

Jocko, Santino, William, and Jeremy. Cindy and Carrick were also at the table with them.

I decided to say goodbye to my parents first and go to their table.

“Hi, guys!” I approached them one by one to kiss.

“Are you really so busy that you don’t even visit me at work?” Cindy said with a chuckle.

“Just for the event. I promise to make up to you, bestie,” I simply said.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Instead of answering, she hovered my whole body. I immediately swallowed and quickly avoided

looking at her.

“Hmm? All right, promise me that!”

I breathed a sigh of relief as she turned her attention to food. I immediately sat down in the empty chair

to face them.

“You are stunning, Margaux!” Julia commented to me.

“You too, you look pretty as always!” I replied.

“Wait, why do you look different?” Ally eyed me from the bottom up to my pale cheeks.

She even looked closer at me before shrugging. “Are you sick?”

I swallowed nervously and shook my head slightly.

“Maybe it’s just overworked and tired of this event.” I weakly said and shut up my eyes firmly.

I feel the imminent reversal of my stomach with the mixed smell of food and alcohol in front of me.

“Your hotel is so big and elegant. It looks like it’s nice to check in here,” Julia exclaimed and turned her

eyes directly to Jeremy.

“The price is definitely good too.” Ally blunt then nods slowly.

Julia rolled her eyes. She didn’t even bother with Allysa’s comment.

“The food is good,” Samantha commented, eating fine next to Jocko.

“I’m glad you like it,” I replied. Lawrence was the one in charge of this part, even in the selection of

drinks.

“Look who’s coming . . .” Cindy blurted out. She nods her head towards the main entrance. She even

kicked me a little, so I followed what she was looking at.

My heart skips a bit when I reach his warm hard eyes. He even looks hotter than before. I can’t help but

lift it at all.

I sighed because he was not alone. He’s with Elliesse along with Mr. Del’fierro.

I FURROWED MY brows and averted my gaze immediately. It seems like my stomach wants to turn

more and more because of what I witnessed.

“God, will the marriage of those two really continue?” Cindy asks every one, but I know her question is

directly for me.

“Well, we all see the evidence. They look good together.” Samantha shrugged her shoulder at her

remarks.

“And what can you say about it, huh?” Cindy narrowed her eyes at me. She obviously wanted to say

something meaningful in her question.

Damn it! With all the questions, why me?!

I tried not to smirked and act normally. “They’re good!” I quietly said.

Cindy raised an eyebrow at me, and I widened my eyes, which was the sign of peace with me.

I look back at them. They are already talking to Daddy and Mommy. And based on Elliesse’s wide

smile, I’m sure they were talking about their marriage.

I was offended by that idea. Even though I tried to hide it, I still could not deny that I was jealous. This

is what I want, right? To leave me in peace. But why is it fucking hurt?

Until he turned his pitch-black eyes on me and makes eye contact with me, and I gasped. I could feel

the blood pulsing through my veins, and even my heart pound surprisingly.

But those stares faded as Elliesse grabbed his arm in front of him.

I look down immediately! I found the glass of wine that I immediately drank. At that point, I felt my

stomach ache.

“Uh, I just go to the bathroom,” I quickly said goodbye.

On the way to the bathroom, my eyes get blurred due to extreme dizziness. I clung tightly to the wall

and stayed there for a moment.

“Margaux?”

I immediately straightened up from my stand and turned slightly to the voice.

“Peter?!” I stood straight and my mouth agape.

“Uh, are you okay?” He slightly scratches his head while staring at me.

“Y-yes, of course, I’m fine!” I stammered.

His eyes narrowed, and he took several steps towards me.

I gulp nervously, “J-just a minute!” I stopped him as he attempts to approach me and quickly followed

the path to find the CR.

But as I walked, my knees became weaker and weaker, so before I could get to CR, I collapsed with

extreme dizziness.

“Margaux! Please, wake up!”

I stared slightly to see who was speaking. I smile when I saw Peter holding my hand. I think we are in

one of the hotel suites.

“Hey, are you alright?”

After I saw the concern in his eyes, I smiled and nodded faintly. I felt my stomach turn upside down

again, so I quickly got up to run to the bathroom.

It took me a few more minutes before I could think of going out. And as I was expected, Peter was

waiting for me to come out.

I can’t explain the look he threw at me. I was immediately nervous that I could not explain.

“Tell me,” he paused, “Are you pregnant?”

My lashes fall. I can’t answer. I bit hard into my lip because the flow of tears gradually shakes both

shoulders.

He chuckled, “What the fuck?!”

I close my eyes when he kicks the coffee table in front of me.

“Peter, please . . .” I sobbed.

“Who is the father?” He was angry and spoke quietly through clenched teeth.

I shook my head. I can’t say I’m too scared.

“Is it Lawrence?!” he asked in a strident tone.

Again, I bite down my lip much harder. I still can’t tell the truth even if my silence already answers.

“That bastard! I will surely break his neck!” he threatened.

I remained quiet and silently cried until I could feel him approaching me. Without saying anything, he

steps close to me to give me a big hug. I could not stop crying in his arms.

“Shh. It’s alright. Everything will be fine. I promise,” he says in a calm voice.

At this point, I felt his sincerity. I squeezed myself even harder into his wide chest, where I knew I would

not be hurt.
