Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Twenty-Five
CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE*she made a fool of me!*Judith raced to the VIP section, panting with her eyes widened in shock."Oh my! Miss Jordan this was a terrible accident. I apologise for my co-worker's tardiness she's still new." Judith begged. Rachael scowled at Judith discreetly.Janice was too focused to get herself out of this mess that she didn't pay any attention to Judith.Hannah jolted up and scurried to Janice's side to help her up.She turned to Judith "Where is the bathroom?" She asked holding Janice around her waist to steady her."She will show you.", Judith cocked her head to Racheal. Rachael nodded frantically and led them to the bathroom.Janice was finding it difficult to walk because some of the contents of the cup had seeped through her sandals. Hannah lent her a hand as they wobbled into the bathroom passed the prying eyes of the public.Janice quickly got the water running and cupped her hands through the running water and dabbed it on her face. Rachael fetched so

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX*There's Fire on the Mountain!*"You know if the manager finds out about this, you're screwed!" Judith snarled pointedly at Racheal."And so are you! I mean, it's your shift, not mine." Rachael spat as she simpered, looking pleased with herself.Judith cringed at the last statement for she knew Racheal was spitting facts! It was her shift in the first place and she allowed Racheal to swap places with her. Nevertheless, they are both dead if they don't do something about it!Judith took in several deep breaths to calm her grating nerves."Fine. You're right! If the manager is let in on what transpired today, then we're both toasts! Laid off even with no questions asked. Miss Jordan is a very invaluable customer here, the manager will always side with her. So the problem is, what are we gonna do to evade that? I can't afford to lose my Job, Racheal. I'm the only breadwinner in my family right now." She queried frantically. Rachael paused as her lips formed a hard line

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN*Today can't get any far worse right?*"Here. help me make the iced cappuccino," Racheal said as she glanced at the iPad, where the orders were saved, propped up on the kitchen table. "While I focus on the herb blended tea."Judith nodded in affirmation. "Okay." And then reached for the espresso machine.It took them roughly fifteen minutes to make the tea and coffee. Thankfully the exact cake was already baked earlier and then stored in the fridge, saving them the trouble of making another and simply just oven-baked it a little and boom! They are set and ready to go!Rachael changed into her grey tank top and slid into her sweater. The weather tends to be a little frigid in the evenings around this time of the year.Judith draped her shawl around her shoulders after changing too and reached for her tote bag and then handed the package to her."Here you go. Good luck!" Judith beamed at her but her eyes betrayed her as they darkened with anxiety.Rachael noticing i

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT*God! She loathed this woman!*"What the hell are you doing here?!" Janice growled with clenched teeth. The last thing she expects was to come face to face with the very waiter that ruin her day and worse still, standing in front of her house! The nerve of her!Rachael on the other hand predicted she would react like an enraged beast. Her motive for showing up in her house was not to see her. She's just doing Judith a favour as she is on the brink of losing her job. Yeah, you heard it loud and clear, "her job" not "ours" because she got nothing to lose after all. She came to London with the sole aim of seeing Finn. That was why she got herself a job at St Lauren's which unknown to her, Janice frequents. In fact, she was surprised to see her target coming to her. It was an opportunity she couldn't afford to just whisk away and she did the most inconceivable thing she had ever done for a man. Sadly, the man that has been avoiding her. The man that she questions his

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE*Please God let it be Finn!*"Huh?" Rachael mumbled, slightly taken aback."C'mon Jane it's over and done with now, right? You got your herbal blended tea now. Let her off the hook already." Hannah coaxed.Janice rolled her eyes, "I said I was going to but I'm not going to do it anymore alright? She got lucky this time." That insufferable bitch! Rachael bit her lower lip as her skin crawled with resentment and rage. She, however, managed to force a wide smile and bowed her head in appreciation. "Oh thank you miss Janice for your kindness!" Oh for fuck's sake don't make me laugh! Kindness? Really? This woman is all shades of arrogant and annoying!Admittedly, as much as she hates to accept it, her milky skin poking out of her pyjamas, her moist blonde hair that rested on her shoulders, her enthralling hazel eyes that peered at her and her firm full breast that is tucked beneath her shirt made her a living goddess and enhanced her beauty even more. All natural a
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Thirty
CHAPTER THIRTY*We never had a thing going on*A sob crammed her chest as her eyes remained shut, still hoping the stranger was Finn.The clouds slowly unveiled the moon. the moonlight glowed in the night sky casting a silver gleam. Her eyes adjusted to the stables a little clearer. It was a large one and the horses were tethered sprawled on the floor in their respective place. His grip on her mouth slowly loosened up as he moved back inches away from her back to face her. She lurched away as she snapped her head in time to see who the stranger was. Her breathing was still ragged in panic. His silhouette was athletic and dominating as he towered over her. Despite the evening darkness, she could still make out the glint in his eyes beguiling her toward him. He ran his big hands through his tousled hair and chuckled."Rachael? What the hell!" He rasped.The familiar voice hit her like a bag of bricks followed by relief washing through her. She hauled herself at him and gave him a ti
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Thirty-One
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE*What a fool she had been!*She gasped in shock. Her hands clamped on her mouth to resist a huge sob from escaping her mouth. Fresh tears flowed from her eyes. She was too befuddled and shocked to speak.Silence filled the air. She sniffled as she wiped the tears from her eyes with her shaky hands. A determined glint flashed in her eyes as she cocked her head to him. "Have I been a joke to you all these times Finn?" She could care less if he didn't like the idea of calling his name."You never loved me? What happened to the memories we had together, the lovemaking, the confessions of love?" Her voice broke. She couldn't help it-she was literally shattered.Drake chuckled scornfully. "My love you're being too fanciful for your own good. Maybe I should say it like this instead, I don't love you, Rachael. Is that crystal clear enough or I should spell it out again?" She balled her fists at her side while fighting the urge to slap the leer across his face. The nerve
Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter-Thirty Two
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO*It must be fulfilled at all costs!*Ensuring she was out of the compound discreetly enough not to be seen by Janice or rouse any suspicion whatsoever to the point that he lied to the security guard, who was looking at Racheal sceptically and with confusion, that she lost her way around the large compound and found herself in the stables. The security guard nodded slowly but still gave Racheal the once-over look as she glanced at Drake before she exited. He drew in deep breaths as he slumped into the creaking twin bed. Well, at least the security guard bought the idea. He hoped...And Janice wouldn't have to know about it. Phew! What a day! Rachael... That girl is full of surprises! This is what he dreaded the most about her. Really. First, she came all the way from Scotland to London and second, swung by at the Jordan's! And the most troubling of all is that she's beginning to ask some really personal questions she shouldn't be asking at all; Why did he chang

*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
