Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Hundred-Eighty
CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY *They are still kids*"I can't believe my eyes and ears! Who would have thought that the daughter of the renowned Jordans would be the one to save my daughter and I assume she had your permission for that? I am quite shocked. How do I repay you and your daughter for your kindness?"Mr. Spikes said as he reluctantly extended his hand. Mr. Jordan chuckled and held up his hand."It's fine, Mr. Spikes. When my daughter wants something she's adamant to get it and there's no stopping her. Either way, I'm glad we could be of help. Well, I could say it's sort of a win-win situation for the both of you wouldn't you agree ?"Mr. Spikes arched his brows diametrically in utter confusion.He laughed nervously in a bid to hide his confusion."may I ask how do you mean by that if you don't mind ?" He inquired softly.Mr. Jordan chuckled again and shot an amusing glance in his daughter's direction. Janice's hazel eyes narrowed in a mild glare in an attempt to discourage her

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE *Shattered!*"What's the problem, inspector?" They pressed relentlessly again, their brows furrowed with curiosity.The inspector cleared his throat nervously and clamped his lips briefly before he continued again."Well... Um... Her father was aware of the situation but..."Mr Spikes arched his brow, urging the inspector to proceed.He nodded and cleared his throat again."the truth is, her father attempted to run away after hearing the news of his daughter's arrest by the police."And then he dropped the The whole room went so silent for some split seconds that you could hear a pin drop.The shock on their faces said it all.Mr and Mrs Spikes were both too stunned to form a coherent statement as they glided a surprised look from the inspector to Amber Harvard who looked down on her toes nervously, wringing her fingers."Wait, did I hear you correctly inspector? How is that even conceivable? A father abandoning his own child at such grievous times? That's

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO *It's about time to call it quits*"Hannah?!" her mother's shrill desperate voice broke into their little world(reverie), snapping her back to the present.Her mother was astonished as she gawked at her pointedly, her brows furrowing with concern."Are you alright honey? You were spacing out just now?" Her mother asked, stroking her arm gently.She gulped and sunk a glance at Janice who was just as shaken as her.Where the heck were they just a while ago? It felt so real and yet it was not.If this is telepathy, then it felt insanely realistic. They held an actual communication in there.Or is she daydreaming? Heck no! Judging by the expression plastered on Janice's face, it might be true.They just had a brief conversation in their minds!Isn't that insane?! How the heck was that possible?It was believed that if two persons can read each other's minds and hold a conversation, akin to telepathy, then fate had brought two soul mates together on a long ride

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-THREE *Is there even a smidge of feeling left in his heart?*"Are you sure?!" with dilated eyes, they asked in unison.The inspector nodded his head doggedly in the affirmative." Positive, 100% sir." He said airily with a bright smug smile plastered on his face. "I just got off the phone with my subordinates scouting the area and it was reported that he was in disguise and was smartly spotted by one of our men narrowly about to slip out of their notice, when he was apprehended.""Really?!" Janice exclaimed.The inspector nodded in the affirmative, the triumphant smile never leaving his face. The smile you wear when you know that there's a greater possibility for promotion and a raise in your job."In fact....as we speak, he is currently being driven down to the station ." He noted with a hint of self-conceit victory in his tone.Amber's body went numb as the voices in the room began to drown faintly in the recess of her consciousness.This can't be happening ..

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR *What the devil is going on here?!*The silence in the room was so deafening except for the ragging breathing that could be heard. It was as if everyone was dutifully observing a one-minute silence for the dead.Only that Amber is not dead. But then looking at it from the metaphorical aspect, she's technically dead from the inside after discovering the heart-wrenching news of her father's desert.Poor Amber hopefully she recovers from this mess. She's been through a lot herself but acts tough on the outside when all those times she has been going through hell as a result of a failed marriage. The poor child paid the price for her parents' recklessness.But still, she can't begin to imagine how a father or a parent would be comfortable leaving their own children to their fate. How vile! How insensitive to even imagine. The mere thought of that drives her mad.Or maybe just maybe there is a story behind all of this that we don't even know about.Have you eve

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE *At this point, even words will fail....*His body shuddered as he laughed his ass out. The cackles of his laughter rang across the frozen room.The entire room was still shocked at his reaction and was in silence as they watched him with widened eyes, including the officers holding him captive.After his bouts of laughter, his lips thinned into a hard smile, his amber eyes glistened with mists from the minutes of thunderous laughter."I don't understand how this is funny, Mr Jeff." the inspector stammered, awe-struck by his reaction. "We are talking about your daughter here for heaven's sake ."He slowly jerked his head up and fixed a granite look on the inspector's face as if daring him to speak further as though he was intruding upon a very private family matter that he shouldn't."That's right, inspector. My daughter and not yours ." He growled.The inspector exchanged a puzzled glance with Mr Jordan. Then failing his hands frantically mid-air he adde

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX *She.will.rip.your.heart.out*"Why...?" her voice came out like a croak of a frog on the verge of giving up its last dying breath. For the first time, Janice noticed how pale she looked. "Why did you do it, Jeff?" she forced a lump down her throat and bit her bottom lip before she continued."Khole is hurting and she wants to. make sure that Amber is doing alright."Mr Jeff remained mute.She finally whipped around and glided her curious gaze to everyone around and her gaze settled on the inspector whom she offered a smile."You must be inspector Bob that contacted me. Thank you very much for your Swift response. I sincerely appreciate it." she said nicely as she reached for a brief handshake. Then her curious gaze glided from Mr Jordan and Janice.The inspector followed her line of vision and chuckled."Oh, this are the Jordans. Kindly meet Mr Thomas Jordan and his daughter, Janice Jordan who is in the same school as your niece. She was the mastermind be

CHAPTER HUNDRED EIGHTY-SEVEN*So it's still technically a win-win situation *His lips curled up into a leery smile as he watched how enraged she was."I can't wait to see her try." He smirked.Monica scoffed with disbelief as she blinked her eyes uncontrollably."Are you freaking kidding me right now?!" Monica shrieked in anger."you feel no remorse for putting your own daughter in such a condition ?! What the hell! You are completely nuts! I don't blame Khole for leaving you! You made her life a living hell!"He chuckled maliciously and clicked his tongue in disapproval."On the contrary, Khole made my life a living hell. Her mental illness was controlling her to do insane things to our daughter like the time she nearly dig a table knife into her neck when she was barely four or so! That's why I sent her to the rejuvenation camp. She was going crazy not me! And that was particularly the main reason I commenced legal suit against her, demanding for the custody of our child."Monica s

*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
