Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Hundred -Five
CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIVE *It's going to be a long night*His stomach churned at his words. Mr Jordan should return the favour. Of course, he had a motive for maintaining his competence as their horse keeper. First, not to lose his job and keep working for them in order to get closer to the truth eventually. Second, to end him. For good. He knows what James is suggesting But sadly, he is in no way after Mr Jordan's money or his property. To hell with those! His father's life and family's honour are worth much more than that. If no one would do that, he would. He would put an end to the jordans domination once and for all. With all the power insane power and the age-long secret that they have amassed for generations, he will break the circle and put them to shame. Yes, that is why he is here. Nothing more, nothing less. He swatted his hand on his shoulder, scowling at him playfully."Yeah right. It is just not part of my job description dude. How about you, why don't ask

CHAPTER HUNDRED-SIX *Today is a brand new day, Janice.*The vibration of her mobile snapped her awake from her sleep. Cursing under her breath and yawning, she tossed over the bed to grab her phone from the bedside table. Who could it be? Her weary eyes flickered to the wall clock. The time reads: 9:34 am.Oh... It's a little late in the morning. She really had a rough night last night. She could barely get a good night's sleep. As expected... After everything that had happened. Her brain decided to play a movie of her past for her. It was a very emotional movie indeed. She had cried her eyes out and had wished for her mother's presence more than ever. She puffed out a deep breath, clearing her aching throat. The vibration had stopped by the time she reached for her phone. She swiped to see who it was. A smile tugged at the corners of her chapped lips. Hannah! She was about to tap on the call back button when Hannah started calling again.After everything she had been th

CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVEN. *The pang of guilt persistently churned in her stomach*She was thankful that she was able to escape that call with her best friend without in any way disclosing the truth behind the dreadful incident that transpired that day. The rest of the day passed like a blur with nothing much to do than just lying on the lounge, sipping some wine and watching her favourite movie. And of course, thinking and worrying about Drake. Eager to know how he was faring she reached for her mobile and tapped on her contact list; she swiped upwards in search of his contact. Then his name popped up -Drake Hughen. Her heart fluttered nervously. She nibbled on her fingernails, pondering whether to place a call across or just send a text. She peered at her watch and the time was 2.40 pm. He should be awake and about. She wondered if he was okay, considering the injury he sustained during the fall. Her father had given him a three-a-day off to see the progress of his arm healing

CHAPTER HUNDRED-EIGHT *She was eager to put the past behind her no matter what*She decided to drive herself. Driving by herself would provide the opportunity for her to clear out her thoughts. Hopefully... She was eager to put the past behind her no matter what. Hopefully, Hannah would not be able to detect that something is amiss. She won't be able to hide the truth from her this time around. This time around, they will be seen face to face and she trusts her best friend to know when something is wrong with her. She prayed silently, as she approached the restaurant, that she would not be able to keep up a front all through their time together until she leaves. The restaurant, according to Google Maps, took about, fifteen minutes to get there. She has been following the Google map, as advised by her best friend, to easily locate the restaurant and to which she did. She pulled up her convertible sleek red Benz at the parking lot. Janice had already texted her about ten min

CHAPTER HUNDRED-NINE *You're hiding something, Janice and I would like to hear it*"Hey, bestie!"Hannah was enthused as Janice approached. "I'm glad you made it." they hugged tightly. "you were a little late though. Traffic?" Hannah quizzed as they pulled away. Janice slumped in her chair, puffing out a deep breath. "Not really. Just mild traffic. I followed the Google map as you said and I was able to locate here without any hassle.", Hannah smiled triumphantly as she settled in the chair opposite the round glassy table imprinted with flowers. "Glad it worked. If I had come to get you instead, it would have been time-consuming and someone needed to do the booking and ensured everything was in order." Janice darted her dilated orbs around the place, admiring the decor and serene ambience. She clapped her hands in appreciation. "And you did well, my friend. I was awestruck from the exterior design to the interior decor, everything is fascinating!"Janice gushed enthusiastic

CHAPTER HUNDRED-TEN *Your pain is my pain*"I have no idea what you're getting at, Hannah." Janice lied as she gulped the remaining contents of her wine down her throat. The burning sensation seared through her dry throat. Hannah continued to stare pointedly at her from the opposite end of the table. "Are you really gonna lie to me now, Janice? Remember our promise to not keep any secrets between us." Hannah spoke sternly to her best friend. She really wanted to keep this off the radar as much as possible. Even from her best friend. Digging up the past may trigger painful emotions. And she doesn't want anything in any way to ruin their day. It is a brand new day she intended to keep it so. However, Hannah can see her soul. It is no surprise, they were like sisters growing up, she's her only true friend and they never kept any secrets from each other. "Your pain is my pain" Hannah had said these exact words seven years ago at her hospital bed when she came to see her. they

CHAPTER HUNDRED -ELEVEN *the guilt kept eating at me*"Oh no! Jane. What is the matter? What happened? Stop keeping me in suspense. I am deeply worried. Please talk to me. " Hannah pleaded, as stroked her arm, all the while fixing her concerned gaze on her face. She passed her a neatly folded silk handkerchief from her bag. Janice blew her nose and wiped her eyes into the silk handkerchief. "I'm fine, Hannah. Thankfully, I wasn't hurt. But someone got hurt in my place." she croaked out, fiddling with the handkerchief in her hands. Hannah arched a brow. "Drake? Your father?" Hannah heaved a deep sigh before ah answered. "Drake... " she muttered. Ashamed that she was always relying on him. This Made the second time Drake had saved her from a horse fall. He had done everything in his power to train her to ride a horse and slowly made her fall in love with horse riding which in turn made her stand up against her traumas and fears. But what did he get in return? He was h

CHAPTER HUNDRED -TWELVE *I intend to keep up with this facade for as long as I can until I'm better*"Are you sure it's going to work, Hannah? After everything that happened? Do you think he will forgive me?" Janice muttered, rubbing her tumefy nose. But to go see him face to face? She simply can't bring herself to. The guilt churning in her stomach just won't go away. *"Telling you is okay is not going to magically take the pang of guilt spewing in her stomach"* Hannah's voice rang in her head again. She was right. Whatever Hannah may say to her will never take away or in any way completely obliterate the pang of guilt knotting in her stomach. A hint of nausea grazed her stomach, making her hazy. Hannah's warm hand jolted her back to the present and eased the growing pain in her stomach a little. She breathed out deeply and force a smile on her friend. "Are you okay, Jane? You suddenly look pale." She nodded frantically, with a tight-lipped smile plastered on her face.

*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
