Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Hundred-Thirteen
CHAPTER HUNDRED -THIRTEEN *Life can be funny as hell!*Seven years ago was a total nightmare for Janice and her family. She couldn't walk or attend to urgent personal needs that she would ordinarily be able to do on a whim like use the bathroom and stuff. To be able to walk only at the mercy of a pair of crutches left her mortified and helpless. She dreaded each passing day and wished for nothing but to be able to walk again. In that moment of mystery and sadness, she appreciated the little things life could offer. Only in such moments, one would begin to notice the random insignificant things and start to appreciate them, realizing that in fact, they are not as random or meaningless as one had initially thought. Life can be funny as hell! Her once super enthusiastic parents became sad and sullen. Her father skipped work for a whole week despite her mother 'a refusal just to be by her side. He was grief-stricken and devastated. He blamed himself for what happened to her. He would

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FOURTEEN *This is by far the craziest thing that has ever happened to her*"Talk to me, please." implored Hannah, her brows crinkled with worry and anxiety. Janice sighed deeply and lowered her eyes to the table, wringing her hands underneath the table nervously. "It's complicated, Hannah. Even for me to understand. I..." Her voice faltered as she swallowed a lump down her throat. "It doesn't matter if it is the most unnatural insane thing I have ever heard in my entire life, Janice! I am your best friend not just for the title... Best friends are more than just friends; you share even the most hidden shameful parts of yourself that you have never shown to the outside world, and you share that with your best friend because they are more than that to you. And I am not just your best friend, Janice, we have lived through so many moments together, the good and the bad. I am fit to be your sister. And you can tell me anything, anything at all. C'mon" Hanna

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIFTEEN *It was as if I was blind....*"C'mon Jane. Tell me what you saw. I'm dying of curiosity." Hannah wailed as she clasped her hands together, boring her brown orbs at Janice imploringly. Janice's fingers tightened around the table as she forced them to relax. She sniffed and licked her lips. She paused, Willing her shallow breathing to resume its normal rhythm before she continued, "I saw...I saw total darkness, devoid of life, of meaning... It was just dark..."The words came out quietly and heavy with disquietude. Her heart was a frantic drumbeat in her chest, her stomach a storm ofnausea. Hannah's face distorted with confusion and anxiety as she rubbed her thoughtfully processing what Janice had said. Her brows rising diametrically she quizzed, " How do you mean by dark and devoid of life? Can you be a little, um, explicit if possible?" Janice shrugged, waving her hands furiously in the air. "I don't know! I don't understand too. That's the pr

CHAPTER HUNDRED -SIXTEEN*The past she never wanted to remember*"What the hell are you talking about Janice?!" Shrieked Hannah at an alarming rate as she perched on the edge of her chair. Her brows were furrowing in anxiety and confusion."How do you mean you went dumb?" She quizzed flailing her hands aggressively.Beads of sweat formed on her cleavage and her chest heaved at a rapid rate.Janice found her best friend's confusion and anxiety oddly amusing as a sly smile ghosted her lips.But hold up! Why is she reacting this way?This is the complete opposite of how she reacted when it actually happened; she was petrified and traumatized. She was confused and disconcerted. She was all alone in that floating darkness...And yet, here she was finding this all story funny. What had come over her?Surely she is not going raving mad, is she?God help her!She swallowed thickly and met Hannah's frantic gaze."Slow down, Hannah, it wasn't all that bad. And besides, it could have all been n

CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVENTEEN*It's your turn to Spill the beans, bestie*Janice arched her eyebrow inquisitively at her who was still smiling sheepishly by herself."What important discussion could that be?" She dragged out the words as she folded her hands across her chest.Hannah shrugged. "What else are we talking about?" "Well, what more do we wanna know?""Your trip, idiot what were you thinking?" Janice shrugged. "you tell me.""Drake? Of course, I was getting to that. " she snickered.Janice's cheeks flushed a slight colour of pink as she giggled, tucking her blonde hair behind her neck.She cleared her throat and strengthened."Yeah sure the trip!""Nice. This would sound more pleasing to the ears with wine teasing our tongues. Don't you think so?"Janice nodded in agreement. "You bet. After the advertising campaign, you ran on that wine, my tongue can't wait to have a taste of it." "Sure! Please Henry -" Hannah motioned for the waiter to start pouring the drinks to which he q

CHAPTER HUNDRED-EIGHTEEN*why the hell has she been thinking about him lately?*"Good because I am all ears!" Janice beamed as she edged closer with full concentration.Hannah scoffed at her friend and clicked her tongue. "it's nothing serious. Stop reading more reading into it than necessary. Okay!"Janice rolled her eyes defiantly. "Hmmm... how about nope! Spill the beans dear friend and quit keeping me hanging like this! I'm dying of curiosity!" She whined loudly.Hannah shushed her with her finger pressed to her lips as her widened eyes scanned the room, hoping no one was looking their way.She breathed out a sigh of relief when no one was looking. And turned to glare at her best friend who was grinning from ear to ear like a kid keenly waiting for sweets and treats.Only that what she was about to say or speak of is anything far from sweet or treats in the figurative sense.Mr Cross was her nightmare!He not only succeeded in tormenting her physically by his tempting presence bu

CHAPTER HUNDRED -NINETEEN*In her books, No one that hurts her family goes unpunished*"No, listen to me first." Hannah held up her hand.Janice scrunched up an eyebrow at her curiously."Then talk to me, Hannah. What did your boss do to you?"Then Janice glanced at her shoulders ensuring no one was within earshot safe for the waiter at the back who wouldn't make out what they were saying from that angle, and edged closer, her lips mere inches from her face."Or did he touch you against your will?"She whispered fiercely, fury flashing in her eyes.Hannah shook her head frantically and muttered rather reluctantly, "No. Not really.." Her brows pinched together in confusion and impatience as she edged much closer their face always touching.Janice's hazel eyes bored searing holes through Hannah's light brown ones."What do you mean by not really, Hannah? Are you gonna tell me or not?"Hannah's throat bobbed as she forced a bitter swallow, grimacing.She exhaled deeply and clamped her

CHAPTER HUNDRED -TWENTY*Why would she be wet and ready for a man she loathes?*"You have no business with how I execute vengeance on those who hurt my family and those I call family. Just tell me everything that transpired between the two of you already."Janice continued, her brows wrinkled in fury and worry.Hannah nodded slowly and swallowed a lump in her throat.She gripped her hands with all of her might underneath the table until her Knuckles turned white."Okay... Um, it's about my boss, Mr Cross... " Hannah started as she lowered her eyes to the table, her brows marred with a deep frown as if Mr Cross was sitting on the table looking at her."What about him, what did he do?" Janice pressed relentlessly.What did that motherfucker do? Would have been appropriate in this circumstance 'cause she is smelling trouble. Janice thought angrily.Hannah bit her lip and shifted in her chair again. She had used the restroom as an excuse to get her acts together and willed the persistent

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
