CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED -SEVENTEEN

*"What have you done brother?*

"You looked surprised. What do you expect? For her to lick your ego? You clearly made things crystal clear that you want absolutely nothing to do with her." His brother continued to banter with him.

Of course, he did. But he expected Racheal to have taken the cue and disappeared. Well, he guessed she was so bitter and hell-bent on getting her revenge. But why work for his brother?

He thought she had despised his brother so much that she didn't want anything to do with him not even to be a mile within range.

It was rather shocking that she would stoop so low just to exert revenge.

What a fool she was... His brother never keeps his promises. He doesn't owe anyone an explanation at that.

Drake puffed out an exasperated breath.

"Rachael is so damn stubborn. I expected she would blow things out of proportion and act brashly. So now she works for you? That's laughable."

Drake's lips curled into a sneer.

    CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED -EIGHTEEN *He must finish what he had started*"And who says I was intruding? As a matter of fact, I don't have to. I will be taking over instead." He said authoritatively, grating his nerves. He curled his hands into tight fists and bit the bottom of his lips furiously fighting the urge to slap the smug off of his face. Damn, it! Why can't his brother at least give him a break for once?! Always on his case, trolling, bullying, and making life difficult for him... His brother had always made him feel as if he was never good enough... He would always call him father's pet and that irritated him the most. He called a sassy boy. And that he was no man after all. He didn't have the balls and never did to see this message through and maybe he had been right... He thought he could handle this mission successfully well without any issues and he swore he would never fall in love much less fall for his arch enemy's daughter. Yet... Here he was... Found wantin

    CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED -NINETEEN*He must not fail. He must fulfil the mission of his family at all costs!*"I already told you, brother, I'm gonna handle this. Let me finish what I have started." Drake said, hoping this would at least convince him to go back but deep down he knew it was all for nought. His brother would not hesitate to take his chance and now that he was here, it was too late. He gulped as his brother took another step towards him and this time they were very close just a mere meter away. The gust of his breath and his cologne wafted through the air around him and he tried not to sneeze. His brother cackled and shook his head slowly. "You think I give a fuck what you say huh? I'm still going to do whatever the fuck I wanna do." He shot him a smirk. Drake exhaled in exasperation. Of course, that's his evil brother for you. His evil because he doesn't give a fuck what others think, he has zero consideration for people's emotions. Very insensitive and hot-headed

He quickly cleared his throat and shot them a wry smile as he straightened his shoulders and Mother smothered his shirt as he exited the restroom. What just happened?! He was still in awe of it all. Still grappling with the gruesome reality that his evil brother was in London. It's no nightmare!!! It's a fucking reality! How did this happen? And when he spoke to his mother on the phone she did not indicate that his brother was already in London. Does that mean that she knew all along and didn't tell him?No wonder she was hitting on the fact that he was slow-paced. Perhaps they were right... He was indeed slow-paced. His feelings for Janice just seemed to be growing recently, taking him by surprise. What was he going to do? There was no way the two of them could be together! It's a false

    CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED-TWENTY ONE *She was drawing the line. It is over! *"Don't touch me!" Janice shrieked as soon as they landed in the house. His house as a matter of fact. This wasn't part of the plan. And besides, this is certainly no wedding night so how the fuck did things happen? Why the hell was she in Matt Castle's penthouse?! She was literally forced into the limousine and the windows were tinted and hidden so that she couldn't quite pinpoint the direction they were taking and when the limousine pulled up, alas she got out and came face to face with a huge skyscraper building. It was already 11 pm in the dead of the night. Her father had already bedded her goodnight and that he would be retiring early due to his medical condition. She didn't know he was aware of Matt's plan. From the onset, they had already planned all things out without her knowledge. How cruel! She couldn't believe her father was just throwing her into the arms of the man she didn't want to spe

"L-let's go of me right this instance Matt!" She demanded shakily. His amber eyes glowed as a smug smile spread across his face. "Or what?" He challenged. She bit her bottom lip. Damn, it! They were the only ones in this room and anything could go wrong. Who would she call for help? Her phone was unable to connect hence she can't place calls or anyone would not be able to reach out to her at that. She was sure Hannah had been trying her best to reach out to her. too bad she won't be able to. She must be worried sick not knowing she was in danger. There was something sinister about his touch that she couldn't get rid of. She had better leave here. She struggled to get free from his grasp but he tightened his grip around her wrist even harder.

Oh, thank goodness he didn't notice! Right, it was easier to play a video... You just swipe up and it automatically plays. C'mon Jane! Do it quickly! She hastily tapped at the phone furiously but how would she know if it was playing? Thank Goodness her phone was always on silent. She gulped as she felt a vibrating effect. That must have been an indicator that the video was already recorded. Hopefully, it was otherwise how she prove Matt Castle was a prospective abuser. She was certain if she tendered this evidence to her father, he would be forced to call off the wedding. She can't imagine spending the rest of her life with this kind of man. What if he killed her? There had been stories about abusive homes and that the abuser usually end up killing the victim especially if she failed to rep

    CHAPTER THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-FOUR*What happiness was she fighting for?*He ambled towards her with a devilish grin curling up his lips as he edged closer and closer. With each step, Janice could feel the thunderous beat of her heart in her ears. She gulped as her back was pinned against the cold metal door. She whimpered in fear. Anything could happen right here and now and no one would know. What would happen to her? If she were in danger, who would know? She had better escape for her own good or else... But the main question should be, How the hell could she escape? The remote yes! But... How could she get it from him? She couldn't just overpower him and get the remote or simply expect him to just hand it over to her. What would she do? And now, he was already looming closer to her. Panic climbed up her throat as he loomed closer until he was only a step away. His pose remained casual, but his eyessharpened into dark knives waiting to carve out my embarrassment. He

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

    *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

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

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.

    *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

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

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!
