Blood and Honey Vol. 1

In a heartbeat, Margaux’s world is shattered. After the sudden, tragic death of her mother in a suspicious accident, she is thrust from the only life she has ever known. Now, she is determined to honor her mother’s dying wishes alone.

Driven by a cold thirst for revenge against those she holds responsible, Margaux orchestrates a high-stakes plan to reclaim her birthright. But as she navigates a world of corporate deceit and family secrets, she must ask herself, are those around her truly allies, or are they architects of her downfall?

When she crosses paths with the enigmatic Ashley, the ice around her heart begins to thaw. In a world where trust is a luxury and love is a liability, will Ashley be the one to help Margaux achieve her goals or the one who forces her to abandon her plans for vengeance entirely?

"Hi. I was told you were looking for me—"

The lady stopped dead as Margaux turned to face her.

"Hello there. Remember me?"

Margaux asked with a biting smile.

"I—I'm sorry, I don't know who you are. Excuse me—"

Margaux grabbed her arm, stopping her in her tracks.

"Really? You don't recall? Perhaps a kiss would jog your memory?"

She pulled the lady close by the waist, but she gave her a firm shove.

"Fine! Please, just don't humiliate me here. I’m not that person anymore. I’ve found my mother. I’m begging you!"

"Mother?"

Margaux asked, crossing her arms.

"Beverly Saavedra. She is my biological mother!"

Margaux felt her blood boil. She was looking at the flesh and blood of her greatest enemy. But instead of lashing out, she forced a smile.

"Oh, really? How fascinating. I suspect we’ll be seeing quite a lot of each other then."

"What do you mean?"

"I am Margaux Natividad, the owner and producer for the Saavedra’s new venture. I think we’re going to be very 'close' friends... wouldn't you agree, Miss...?"

Margaux leaned in, stroking the lady’s hair. The girl looked visibly shaken.

"A-Ah, I suppose so."

She stammered.

Margaux’s mind was already racing. She had found the perfect leverage, the lady’s secret.

She leaned in as if to kiss her, causing the lady to bolt back toward the hall.

"I kept your letter."

Margaux called out playfully.

"I look forward to discovering the name behind the initial 'A'."

She said with a devilish smile drawn on her lips.
