Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Hundred-Forty-Six
CHAPTER HUNDRED-FORTY-SIX*She can't afford to die out here!*They hoisted her roughly, each of them on either side, and they staggered to the stairs where the attic is located.Approaching the attic, The air suddenly turned stuffy and hot and reeks of rotten smell.What the hell stinks in here?! She would have asked and yelled but her mouth has been gagged and sealed. Damn it! She can't survive in here for even thirty minutes straight!Good lord!The banging at the door downstairs became more subtle as the eerie silence of the enclosed, air-tight attic sucked out the sound from the major room downstairs.Even if she happened to scream at the top of her voice, no one could hear her.That's strange or could it be that the walls of the attic are soundproof?Oh no!A cold shiver ran down her spine.It is giving real serial killer documentary vibes now and it sucks like hell!She can't afford to die out here!Not even in this crappy attic!Someone get her out here already, please!Anybody

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FORTY-SEVEN*She's dead meat!*The rusty smell stemming from the metallic objects that she could not see clearly surrounded her.If anyone would have told her before that she would end up a real hostage like in the movies she watches so often, then she would have probably laughed out loud and dismissed such stupid jokes.Yeah stupid 'cause never in her wildest dreams did she imagine she would be locked up in a dark shitty locker room in an attic right in the belly of a creepy forest.Good lord!What the hell what she thinking?Coming down here like a fool? Blinding following their orders?If only she had told Mrs Hope the truth maybe something might have been done by now. From the look of things, Mrs Hope isn't someone who would just randomly report to the school authority knowing fully well what transpired during Allan's case. Notably, she was one the most fearlessly outspoken advocate in the case despite the fact the school management was in support of the case. And

CHAPTER HUNDRED -FORTY-EIGHT *Amber Harvard-Backdrop*"Has She been secured properly? I would not tolerate any blunder, you understand?" Amber hissed through gritted teeth as they reappeared in the room downstairs."of course, we did the best we could. There's no way she would escape that." Anastasia said firmly as she glided a glance at Arizona, who was nodding frantically in affirmation of what Anastasia what said.Amber cocked a suspicious eyebrow at them."Are you sure Asia?" she probed.Anastasia's t crinkled in slight confusion. She cleared her throat and then replied,"Yes, I am positive. She is currently locked up in the locker room, as well know, it's pitch black in there with no means of escape. She can't get the keys to unlock the door either. It's a jammed lock. So we are good. Plus, you know that's it soundproof. No one can hear her even if she screams at the top of her voice." Amber rubbed her chin thoughtfully, her brows furrowing in deep concentration.Then after a w

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FORTY-NINE *Amber Harvard-Backdrop2*She swallowed thickly and quickly clamped a hand over her mouth, her eyes glazing with punished tears.Her father looked surprised to see her there. His jaw tightened as he moved closer to the door.He tugged it open a little and forced a tight-lipped smile on his shaken daughter."Hey Honey, what are you doing out here at a time like this? You should be in bed." He said in a low voice.Amber bit her bottom lip nervously."I couldn't sleep," she said faintly. Her voice was a little shaky.Her father puffed out a deep breath. He stepped out of the room gently and quietly locked the room behind him."I'm sorry about that. Come, let me take you back to your room." Her father forced a smile and tugged her away to her bedroom.But Amber hesitated as she paused to gaze at the bedroom door of her parents."What is it, Honey? Let's go." Her father pressed.Her amber eyes glowed with genuine concern."I heard a scream. I heard Mum scream. Ho

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY *Amber Harvard -Backdrop3*Amber's face morphed into a scowl."Dad showed me the truth, Mother. He was there for me even more than you could ever be. Dad is on my side but apparently, you are not. That's why you lost the case because the judge couldn't find you suitable as a mother to take adequate care of her own daughter. Such a pity if you would ask me."Her mother's jaw dropped in shock. She stared at her own daughter like a stranger, dumbfounded.What has happened to her own daughter? Her daughter whom she carried for nine good months? Whom she cared deeply for?It wasn't her fault that she was fighting for her life with painkillers and Antidepressants pills to remain sane and sober.She had been battling with mental illness since she was a child and she thought her husband understood that part of her before he decided to get married to her.But sadly, reality can be quite shocking.The once love-filled and peaceful marriage they had suddenly transformed in

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-ONE *Amber Harvard -Backdrop4*"Come back to your senses, sweetheart. Why would a mother despise a child that she birthed to life? It is inconceivable! " Khole said breathlessly, tears streaming down her flushed face. She quickly took Amber's hands in hers. Surprisingly enough, Amber didn't protest. It was as though, the power of her mother's love is bending her will to conform to that of her mother. Like a magnet attacking her towards her mother.Her eyes glinted with emotion she didn't know existed for her mother. She thought she had banished every emotion left towards her mother.Now, why the heck is she being moved by her mother's touch? The woman she had grown to loathe? The woman that abandoned her?"Listen, Amber, I love you so so much that it hurts so badly seeing you like this. I'm genuinely concerned about leaving you under the care of your father. Don't listen to him, he will only poison your mind. You have got to trust me, Amber. Please." She spoke

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTY-TWO *Amber Harvard -Backdrop5*"I don't need it. Leave already!"She bellowed, her eyes gleaming with rage.Khole inhaled sharply, failing her hands frantically in the air. "Listen to me Amber for heaven's sake I am still your mother!" she snapped, her chest heaving in rhythm with her frantic breathing.Amber scowled at her, clicking her tongue in disapproval."I don't give a fuck, Mother!" she squealed. "As far as I am concerned, you're no longer my mother but a complete stranger to me."Khole, flinched at her words in disbelief, unable to fathom the very words that were coming out of her daughter's mouth. Her very own child she brought into this world through the pangs of delivery.She blinked in shock. This can't be happening!How could a mother watch her own flesh and blood stray off a dangerous path and do absolutely nothing?It is outrageous and uncalled for!Only in this case she up a case against a dictator, an insane wealthy monster that has no regard

*Amber Harvard-Backdrop6*"I am not sure I can trust you, mother, after everything you have done. ", she said as she shook her head frantically."I will never forget how terrified I was to be just around my own mother! How insane and mind-boggling does that sound to you!" Amber hissed.Khole sighed deeply, sagging her shoulders."Amber...""Stop mother! No more lies. I am sick of your lies!" she howled, the veins in her head popping out."My goodness! Your father sure took an iron hold of you more than I expected," she said dolefully as she shook her head in despair."I thought I stand a chance to sway your heart even just a little bit but sadly I have been gravely mistaken." Khole stared at her own daughter in shock, grief, and despair."But I won't give up on you. No matter how far your father intends to push me away. Distance only makes the heart grow fonder. I will always love you, Amber Harvard. Regardless of whatever atrocities your father may have committed. Don't ever forget

*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

*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
