CHAPTER SIXTEEN*Kiss me More*"We sedate the horse and use a pair of pliers to crush one or more of the warts deeply enough to make them bleed,” the veterinarian explained. “This will often give the immune system a signal that an intruder is present, allowing the horse’s body to mount an immune response, to fight the warts, faster than when you simply leave the warts alone. Usually, within a week to 10 days, the warts shrink up and are all gone. In the meantime, we may give the young horse some bute or Banamine to help with the discomfort while recovering.” She proceeded to inject the horse with a syringe.The vet doctor gently petted the horse as it neighs softly.Drake nodded with his muscular arms folded as he aptly observed the vet doctor. Doctor Rose appears to be in her mid-thirties. Her ginger hair was pulled back in a bun. Freckles dotted her cheeks. She casually wore a striped shirt and denim jeans underneath her lab coat with a pair of hiking boots. She was averagely pretty

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN*The Mysterious temptation*"Have you made up your mind yet?" Hannah asked as she handed her a cup of hot coffee and sat beside her friend sprawling out on the sofa in pyjamas. She placed hers on the table too after taking a sip."Thanks," Janice said as she took a sip of the hot coffee and placed it on the table.She exhaled and stared at the window of her room. The rain was drizzling now."Well, I thought we're gonna rub minds about it." Hannah shrugged in response. "It starts with you, princess. You're the chairperson!" She winked at her.Janice giggled. "Give me a break! We're best friends and we're in this together. Just in case you seem to forget."Hannah rolled her eyes at her. " like I would forget that."They huddled close together with their faces about two inches apart."Okay, so I've been thinking...we should go to an entirely different place this time. Our last vacation was in Paris. So how does Africa sound like?" She said as she rubbed her chin.Han

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN*the Radiant Isabella 1*"Hmmm... Is he that alluring?" Hannah said with a hint of humour in her voice.Janice furrowed her brows in confusion at her friend. "What? You have misgivings about him perhaps?"Hannah shook her head frantically. "No! I'm just teasing. I was wondering what's so special about him.""I don't know too. There's something captivating about him that attracts me to him. I can't get my hands on it.""Does he feel the same way about you?"Janice hesitated. Come to think of it, does Drake really feels the same way? does he at least have feelings for her? Maybe he doesn't. After all, they are just fuck buddies. I mean, that's what they were before but now... Now she's really serious about him.She bit her lower lip nervously. "I don't know for sure. And after he disappeared like that too." She shrugged "maybe to him, I'm just some spoilt twerp that he's working for and sometimes shag" Her face suddenly twisted in disgust as if she eat a bug. That didn

CHAPTER NINETEEN *The Radiant Isabella 2*The Jordans had great generational power. Even in the late 1800s their great grandfather, Albert Jordan was a notable politician and businessman. He passed down the family fortune to his son, Walter Jordan, the father of Thomas Jordan. (Janice's father). However, owing to the increasing development of the era to a more digitalized era, Mr Thomas brought a drastic twist to their business by setting up A.L.O.S a high-tech company to serve through the technological advancement era of the 20th -21st century.Unknown to the public, the Jordans have a stenchy skeleton in their cupboard- A long history of secret that they are determined to take to their grave. If by chance, that secret ever gets out their well-polished reputation may be in danger of getting soiled and everything they have ever worked for all through the years will go down the drain. And they simply cannot afford to let that happen.But what exactly is the secret?That same secret tha

CHAPTER TWENTY*The Radiant Isabella 3--How I met your father*He didn't pay any attention to the man gruelling at his feet. His hazel eyes were still locked on the woman dressed in a strange well-fitted corset and a fathered hat even though it was the late 20th century. He was amused and intrigued by the lady before him.She bowed her head a little as her body swayed."My sincere apologies sir, for impeding your trip. But I'm in dire need of a lift as I have important supplies due and I'm running out of time. If you could be so kind as to help me, sir... I would never forget it in her lifetime and I shall pay back if you want!" She spoke as calmly as possible. But wait a minute! What did she just say? Repay him?! How on earth will she repay the Jordans of all people?! Although her family had done several businesses with them, she wasn't quite sure if he knew she was from the Dankworth family.She raised her head to meet his face. It was rather expressionless. She could not fathom wha

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE*The Radiant Isabella 4--How I Met Your Father*The Jordans' house was a mansion with huge three-story buildings towering above other buildings around it. The building was akin to a castle, typical of the Victorian era. Turrets and dormers jutted out from the building. The stained glass reflected the receding sunset, casting a pale tint of orange.She inhaled and exhaled repeatedly and then squared her shoulders resolutely."Let's do this! Remember, family, comes first." She reassured herself."I'm ready."The huge door creaked open as the butler announced her presence. "Isabella Dankworth coming through!"The nice fragrance of flowers that beautifully decorated the foyer wafted through her nostrils as she stepped in. The room was large with tall ceilings, light fixtures, Tiffany lamps(with lampshades made of glass) and candles glittered in the hallway, living room and the dining room at the other end of the large room. The butler, a tall, somewhat lanky man in a ta

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO*The Radiant Isabella 5--How I Met Your Father*A cold splash of water on her face jerked her from her sleep. Her drowsy eyes flew open in irritation but dilated in shock to see who was standing at the door, Lady Claire with her hands on her hips and eyes flashing with outrage. Beside her was a chubby woman dressed in an apron."Good Morning little princess. Hope you slept well?" Her shrill tone was laced with mockery.She swung up in hysteria not knowing what to do or how to respond."You fool! Do you know what the time is?!" She rasped."G-Good morning my Lady, I-I am very sorry for my tardiness." She sputtered with her head bowed and eyes lowered.The cold gush of air from the opened window of the small cottage sent a shiver through her body. Her now wet clothes clung to her skin."Humph! Alice, you're in charge! Give her all the dirty work and ensure she does everything!" She whipped around and stormed out, the receding clicking of her low heels signalled her dep

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE*That bitch!*"Hmm, that's quite the story. Very intriguing indeed. Your mother was a hero! Plus, who would have known that your father was a hot man in his youthful days! I see where he gets his looks!" She winked at Janice.They both chortled heartily. The two girls were sprawled out on the love seat sofa. Two empty bottles of red wine champagne were on the floor. They had been drinking while they were lost in the stories of the past."She said, no true love without obstacles. Maybe the obstacle is my father's disapproval I don't know. But she said I will understand when I get older. Hannah, I'm not sure if I understand" she shook her head in uncertainty.Hannah placed her hands on her shoulder with a smile on her face."You need not worry. I'm sure you will understand when the time is right. For now, let's focus on you getting better okay?" She reassured her friend.Janice nodded. "I suppose you're right!" She grinned. She needs to live in the present and no

Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Three Hundred Thirty-Three
*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

*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
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Three Hundred Twenty-Eight
*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
