Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Eighty-Seven
CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN *Everyone is watching us? *She swallowed thickly, bracing herself for what was to come. She resigned to her fate. Let's get this over and done with already. She drew in several deep breaths and let them all out. Meanwhile, the crowd continued to cheer her massively. Charles mounted his stallion gracefully beside her. He wore khaki pants and a body-hugged ash-coloured T-shirt with buckled straps fastened around his upper body. "Relax Janice and listen attentively. For first-timers, we will take it slow, Alright?" he said nicely, cocking his head at her. She gulped and nodded slowly. The fuck understands a damn thing! She just want to go back to her room and pretend this day never existed! She forced an elegant smile at him. "Aye," she said faintly. He nodded. "Good. Now we take a stroll with the Filly. You must be gentle with her because apparently she's still very young and it's kind of her first time too. Do you understand?" She nodded. "How do
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Eighty-Eight
CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT*The accident*She found it hard to concentrate on the path ahead of them knowing full well that they were being watched. She forced a lump down her throat, latching on to the reins with all of her might as the Filly thrust forward with agility. Charles, by her side, was riding his stallion with so much adeptness. As expected of a horse keeper. He possessed commendable experience in horse riding. He once told her parents that he had been horse riding for good twenty-five years since he was barely ten. No wonder then he was skilled in horse riding. He drove the horse effortlessly like a piece of cake. She watched him with sheer admiration and really hoped that someday she would advance to that stage of expertise. Like her father and uncle. She sighed deeply and focus on the path ahead of them. Now, they are gradually approaching a steep descent of fresh water over a rocky ledge. Hailey flipped her head to the side and neighed in alarm. She yelped in shock a

CHAPTER EIGHTY-NINE *At the end of the day, She's not cut out for horse riding after all*The impact of the fall on the rocky ground caused a burning sensation as pain stabbed her back and sides. After a brief period, her heavy eyes peeled open as she forced herself to sit up. She struggled to take deep breaths as her entire body ached, and her head was spinning so quickly that her vision became hazy.She winced, grimacing in distress as she felt a sudden sharp pang in her leg. Still wrestling to get her ragging breathing under control, she leaned forward to take a look at her leg. She couldn't make out exactly where the pain was coming from. She may probably have sprained her ankle or something. She inhaled very slowly to ease the pain knotting in her chest. She glanced around but there was no sight of the Filly. She must have spooked out and fled. How did it turn out like this? She's a disaster! A failure! At the end of the day, She's not cut out for horse riding after all

CHAPTER NINETY *They were all panic-stricken and worried to death*Medical attention?! Wait did he just say medical attention right now? Of course, he fucking did! He has the nerve to say that when in reality he left her all alone and came back too late. "Medical attention? Yeah right. Maybe if you had done a great job, this would not have happened in the first place!" she fumed, glaring her him, and then she looked away. She doesn't want him to see how badly hurt she was. How defenseless. How scared and dejected she was. He puffed out a deep breath, running his hands through his thick black long hair frantically. "Janice, I didn't mean for this to happen. Not on my watch. Believe me. I don't understand why Hailey spooked out like that. At some point, I lost tracks of your horse's footprints on the ground so I got a little off course which explains why I did not come right away." Tears stung at the corner of her eyes. She parted her mouth to inhale, hoping it would h

CHAPTER NINETY-ONE *We made the decision as husband and wife*"Oh don't play the victim or innocent party, Isabella! We both agreed to this!" Her father roared as he jerked up to face her squarely. Janice grunted in irritation. Great! Now it has turned into a couple squabble. Hannah crept up beside Janice and wrapped her hand around her shoulder, smiling at her. "I am sincerely sorry for what happened. And in times like this you need me on your side," she whispered to her, giving each other the side glance as they attempt to focus on the brawl between the couple before them. Janice nodded and smiled wryly. "Thanks," she muttered. Charles stood aside obediently as he watched his employers quarrel. There was something about how his honey-coloured eyes glinted amusingly as he watched her parents making a fuss. She couldn't quite put a finger on it. Could it be that he was amused about the whole drama or was happy that he was proven right? Or perhaps, making fun of her pare

CHAPTER NINETY-TWO *This was not how they planned it*she was rushed to the nearest hospital in London, St. Anne's Hospital, and as a result, the party had to be cut short. The guests were notified and dismissed. Everyone was troubled about the incident and hoped that she recovered speedily. This was not how they planned it. But life can be so unpredictable that you never know what may happen next. It's like taking the staircase in the dark not having the faintest idea about which stairs will give way and send you tripping down the staircase. It is terrifying knowing that something unanticipated may happen to disrupt your plan. Well, Such is life. And now, the very big birthday bash the Jordans had been plotting for four-five good months had gone down the drain and their daughter is injured as a result. What an irony indeed! But it is what it is.The Hilux squealed to a halt in front of the huge hospital building located in the hub city life of London. One of the most presti
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Ninety-Three
CHAPTER NINETY-THREE *Hang in there sweetie!*That woman had the nerve to insult the Jordans like this? The most feared and powerful family in London. Well, but that's the least of their worry now. Janice needs medical attention and he's here for sake of his daughter and nothing else. Not even to exert revenge on a random patient. Humph! The guts of her to utterly humiliate his family like that? she's lucky that it was not done in a public environment otherwise he would have demonstrated why they call them the most powerful and feared families in the whole of London. Talk about a trivial disturbance. He forced a smile and gestured for everyone to sit and get on with why they came rushing down here in the first place. The doctor was dumbfounded why his patient's attitude towards the Jordans. He was sacred for his career and family. The Jordans possessed the power to influence the course of his life with just a snap of his finger. And now he's simply smiling like nothing ever

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR *My whole life is ruined because of a birthday gift!*"What?! what are you saying? That I can't walk?" Janice squealed in shock as tears glittered at the corners of her eyes. The Doctor waved a hand at her to calm her down. Her parents were around trying to comfort her as they attempted to pull her against them. "Don't get me wrong. It's not going to be for long. But for now, yes." He admitted quietly. "Is there anything else we can do doctor? I don't mind the medical expenses. Please spit it out." Mr Jordan turned imploring eyes to the doctor. Doctor Davies shook his head, ruefully. "I'm afraid not.""No way this is happening to me!" wailed Janice as she sobbed. "Oh no don't weep honey. We will take care of you. You will be fine." Mr Jordan muttered to her and stroked her cheek, using the pad of his thumb to wipe out the tears. "Shhhhhh..." crooned Isabella as she held her tight in her arms, kissing her hair. "But doctor... how long will she u

*To forever and beyond…*The day of the trial had arrived, and it felt as though the world held its breath. The courtroom was filled with journalists, spectators, and photographers positioned on all corners of the courtroom doors waiting. They were all here for the same purpose: the moment the world would witness as justice decided the fate of Mr. Jordan. In other words, the downfall of the Jordans.The courtroom was so unnervingly quiet that you could hear a pin drop as every creak of a bench and every rustle of paper lingered in the tense air.Janice Jordan sat at the front with Finn beside her. Her uncle came with some family members and they sat behind the pew. Janice’s hands trembled in her lap, fingers clasped so tightly together that her knuckles turned white. She glanced at Finn beside her, his jaw set, gaze fixed on the judge as if nothing else existed. This was heavy for him especially but at last he would witness the final judgment and hopefully get the justice his late f
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Three Hundred Thirty-Two
*He had to bear the consequences of his actions.*Janice sat in an uneasy silence, staring out the window as the news sank in, each word settling into her mind like stones dropped into water.She could hardly believe her ears. Her father has been arrested?! This was the first time such news would reach her ears. The mighty Jordan was arrested?!"Janice? This isn't the time to space out!" Finn's voice yanked her out of her reverie. She blinked repeatedly as her brain was still processing this whole unexpected turn out of events. She gulped. "What's going to happen to him, I-I don't even know what to say. He's the only family I've got, Finn," her words barely squeak out of her lips."Unfortunately, it may be nothing good, Janice. This is the moment of truth, and justice must not only be done but it must be seen to be done." A cold shiver pricked against her skin like goosebumps. As much as she tried to ignore it, it was the hard truth. Her father had done horrible things in the pa

*Was this the end of the line for the mighty Jordan family?* "Janice, I'm so sorry you had to go through this alone, " Finn said, pulling her towards him for a long hug as he stroked her hair. Janice broke into tears, sobbing as her body shook with the weight of losing a child, a part of her that she wasn't fortunate to bring into the world. She sniffed and muffled against his chest, "I didn't mean to hide this from you, Finn. This is shocking news to me as well." "It's alright, sweetheart." He said gently as he continued to stroke her hair. Then he broke the embrace and cradled her wet face in his hand, forcing her to look at him. "Look at me, Janice," he wiped her tears with his thumb. His heart tightened seeing her like this. "I promise I will wipe the tears off your face. We can always make another one." She momentarily stopped crying and looked at him wide-eyed. "You didn't even ask if that child is yours, Finn." He chuckled and shook his head. "I didn't

Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty*The unexpected and Sad Revelation*Finn's (once Drake but will be called his real name henceforth)hammered as he paced the narrow room with the burner phone clutched tightly in his right hand and his left hand frantically raking through his sandy brown hair.Every creak of the floor, every rustle outside the window, seemed like it could be Fergus’s men clawing closer.They were running out of time.With the government closing in and Fergus’s rage nearly tangible, Finn knew their only chance was to reach out to someone who could help them disappear. His father’s old friend, Yamato—a man, both feared and revered, a former militant from Japan who had once pledged his loyalty to the family.Yamato listened in silence, his deep breaths echoing through the line. Then, without a word of question or reprimand, he simply said, “Be ready. I will take care of the arrangements.”A wave of relief coursed through Finn's body at once. His father had been right af

Chapter Three Hundred Twenty-Nine*My real name is Finn Orwells and not Drake Hughen.*He knew of one place Fergus wouldn't dare to look.The drive to his special hideout was unbearable, long, and tedious. It was a rocky path in the thick of the forest but close to a river bank. He usually came here when he needed some privacy from the Jordans and planned his next revenge move. But right now, the reverse was the case. How ironic did things turn out to be? He was literally bringing his arch enemy's daughter to his secret hideout, away from the hawk eyes of his evil brother-the person he was supposed to be working alongside.Well, things had changed. Maybe he had changed, too.But right now... he had a purpose.He glanced at the passenger's seat, where Janice was sitting quietly. Apparently, she was still shaken by everything that had unfolded. Poor woman... He had to protect her even from his own family.I'm so sorry, Mother....but I think I broke the rule.He gulped. I had fallen

*At any rate, he must save Janice.*The heel of his boots pounding in her stomach sent her to the floor, retching and wheezing with her heart in her throat, threatening to explode. A crushing pain seared through her chest. She sprawled on the ground, with her eyes shut tight, gasping for air desperately. The blindfold was restricting her vision, so she couldn't see who it was, but she could feel the extreme coldness exuding from his presence. "Let's try again, shall we, darling. And this time I won't go easy on you. I suggest you answer my questions if you want to leave here in one piece and see your asshole of a father!" the menacing raspy voice roared across the empty room. The man cocked his head to the two huge guys in black and at once they heaved her roughly to the chair and tied her hands and legs to the chair. The sound of the cocked gun jolted a shiver down her spine. He took long strides towards her and trailed the gun around her exposed chest, her buttons had come undon

*He must save Janice no matter what!*"What do you mean you haven't seen her?!" Mr Jordan bellowed through the phone, his hands trembling badly."You need to calm down, Mr Jordan. Remember, this is bad for your health. I will be at the shortly. " Matt spoke as calmly as possible through the phone."Calm down? What if something happened to her, Matt?! You were supposed to take care of her and now..." He paused, taking a sharp breath as he rubbed his temples frantically to ease the tension building up inside of me.Where on earth was his precious daughter? What could have happened to her?"Please, exercise some patience, Mr Jordan, while I wait for the construction team to help me remove my door. As I explained to you, Janice just stormed out of the house and locked me inside because she took the remote with her. She must have been in a hurry or something. I think maybe she's at her best friend's house, Hannah."Mr Jordan's eyes lit up.That may be true....who else will Janice be wi

She was super excited and relieved to see Drake coming to her rescue. Tears of relief etched at the corner of her eyes. He came for her! He must have sensed that I was in danger! But how did he know where to find me....? She pondered silently as she arched a brow at him curiously. "Drake! How did you know that I'm here?" She quizzed.He shrugged, winking at her."I just know, Janice. Now come one before Matt comes out!" He urged, waving her over.Her heart jumped at the mention of Matt. That monster! She never wants to be around him ever again! For now, she has been rescued, and she can safely go home and put this whole marriage behind her.Luckily, she has the videotape as evidence to nail Matt on the cross and call off the engagement. She rushed to the car and opened the passenger's door in the front seat and settled on it, jamming the shut quickly.For now, she will have to ask questions later."You good, Janice? I hope he didn't hurt you in there?" Drake asked, although his

*...if it wasn't Drake, then I would rather not love at all.* Damn it! Matt found out already? How did he even know about this? I thought he wasn't aware of it. What do you mean, Janice? Of course, Matt had been watching you non-stop! Only a fool wouldn't be aware of the deep connection that exists between you and Drake. At this point, I wouldn't even be surprised if the maids knew as well. The voice in her head taunted her. She bit her bottom lip frantically, trying to rein in the turbulent thoughts writhing inside of her head. She had to act cool and unbothered. Pretend as if you didn't know what he was saying, Janice. Act cool and get the hell out of here! The voice rang inside my head again like a Belfry. She sucked in several deep breaths and looked up at Matt intently, a smirk curling up her lips. "I have no idea what's you babbling about, Matt," she snapped, feigning ignorance. Matt scoffed, shaking his head. "Stop lying, Janice. It's too obvious! I'm not a
