Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Two Hundred Forty-Four
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FOUR*Perhaps it's about time he trusts him...*"I thought perhaps I should ask you this myself in my daughter's absence." Mr Jordan announced. "What really happened in South Africa?" Mr Jordan whispered, edging closer to the table, his brows scrunching up in concentration. Drake quickly licked his lips as his heart rate quickened. Why is Mr Jordan suddenly asking him this now? Did suspect anything? He had better be very careful. Drake shrugged, feigning confusion. "Like what sir? I don't understand what you mean." Mr Jordan puffed out a deep breath as his gaze flickered to the door, ensuring no one was within earshot. He looked back at Drake with a deep frown marring his brows. "Tell me the truth Mr Hughen. While you were away with my daughter in South Africa, did something happen? Tell me the full truth.please." He entreated. Drake swallowed a lump in his throat. Oh boy! This could get worse if he is not careful. He might be playing right int

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE*Back to Office!*"Good Morning ma and welcome back to London. I hope your trip was seamless?" Sandra greeted her at the door as she arrived. The security guard held out the door for her as Sandra helped her with her handbag. She stepped in majestically, her silky gown twerking as she hunters into her spacious fashion store. All the workers stood up and bowed their heads in respect as she walked past in a confident gait. "Welcome, Ma'am! It's good to have you back!" they chorused. She smiled at them. "Thank you so much." The guard pressed a button on the entrance door to her private office and it automatically the door dinged open, revealing her cozy, airy office. It had a wide view of the roadside and a double room: one for her serious work mode and her private study. She slumped into her office couch, puffing out a deep sigh and flexing her legs. "Do you mind anything ma'am perhaps water or your favorite orange juice?" Sandra asked as she

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FORTY-SIX*She absolutely wants nothing to do with him!*What the fuck does Matt want with her?! He had the balls to show up at her store?! The effrontery?! Why won't he just leave her alone for heaven's sake?! That's why she has to block off his number from her call list so that he won't be able to reach her again. He probably tried her number several times and decided to show up at her store, hoping she will be available. If she isn't home, she is either in the office or at St Lauren's. Matt must have known that. She may probably pick out a more private and low-key area for her next date with Hannah. She can't risk running into Matt at the tea shop-she might cause a scene. Or even a relationship scandal which is the last thing she wants right now. And besides, she would rather shove a needle in her eyes than be associated with that jerk! She absolutely wants nothing to do with him! Buy Matt is not the person that will take a No for an answer. He won'

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FORTY-SEVEN*Downtown*She dialled her friend's number hastily. The phone rang for a while before the receiver finally picked up. "Hannah!" Janice said quickly. "There might be a snag." "A snag? What is it, Jane?" Hannah's calm collected voice vibrated through the phone. Janice drew in several deep breaths and released them. "I will tell you more when we see. In the meantime, I call to inform you that there's been a change to our location. ""A change? Why? What's going on Jane?" Her voice sounded worried. Janice's eyes flickered to the wall clock on the wall. The time was 1:15 pm.Good. She got forty-five minutes until the proposed meeting with her workers for the planning of the big fashion runway coming up this fall. "I'm okay, Hannah at least I will be when this stupid matt quit making my life a living hell than it already is." she puffed out a frustrated sigh. "What did he do again?!" Hannah inquired sharply. "He showed up to my office looking

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT*Matt Castle*"I still can't reach her! I think she is hiding from me." Matt Castle puffed out a deep sigh as he stood by the window of the living room. He peeked at his phone again and tossed it across the couch angrily, running a frantic hand through his thick long blonde curls. He was very tall and a bit brawny with long hands. He paced the room back and forth in frustration. "What did I do wrong this time father?!" His father was lounging on the loveseat across the room. He shook his head and set down the glass of wine he was drinking on the table beside him and rose to his feet. He walked up to his son and clutched his shoulders and smiled at him. "You did absolutely nothing wrong, my son. You are a fine young man. You are successful, smart, sophisticated and daring. I love that about you son. You picked up from me very well and follow in my footsteps. I am proud of you. I'm sure many women want you for their wife but I understand that

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FORTY-NINE *She would have to get rid of matt totally from her life*"Welcome to Williambourg's!" A chubby man dressed in an oversized T-shirt and faded black jeans on rubber boots announced with an animated smile masked on his fat face. He held out the wooden door for them to enter. Hannah glanced at Janice to lead the way. This is her first time here so it's only natural that Janice should take the lead. Janice smiled at him. "Thank you. "Janice entered with Hannah on her tail by a shy teenager with her boyfriend. The restaurant was quite old-fashioned, like back in classical times. The ceilings above them were laced with plants growing on them. The lights dangling from the ceilings were trapped in a sort of hand-crafted basket. you could see the mountains from the inside when you look out. It was as if the entire restaurant was surrounded by mountains. "Table for two I believe ladies?" The man inquired as he paused to look at them. His beard was almo

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FIFTY*I wish I could turn back the hands of time to recreate those memories again*"We got this okay? No one is going to force any relationship on you, not on my watch and not when I'm still alive and kicking either!" Hannah said firmly, a stern expression stamped over her face as her grip on her hand tightened in resolve. Janice felt relieved. she offered her a wide smile as she felt the tension seep out of her body.In times like this, she always counts on her best friend. She feels this sense of assurance and peace whenever she is around Hannah. They have both come a long way and whatever happens, they have promised to always remain together no matter what! "I know you would, love and I am so relieved that I can talk to you about just anything." She said coolly as she caressed her best friend's hand gently. Then, out of nowhere, the feeling of guilt came nibbling at her. She is keeping a secret from Hannah about the near-Rape incident in South Africa. Sh

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED FIFTY-ONE *"Will I ever be happy and fulfilled someday?"*"He is such a nice man, Mr Rand. Quite hospitable." Hannah commented after he had left out of earshot. "I can't wait to try out the pork meat soup!" She giggled as she rubbed her hands against each other in a frantic motion. Janice chuckled. "Same here. Even though I had tasted it, it had been ten years." She paused as the reminiscent emotions came brewing inside her with a rapid motion. She has missed everything about that one big happy family back then; lots of smiles, lots of laughter, lots of joy and happiness, lots of togetherness, and so on. After the death of her mother, seems to be pulling apart. Her father seems to be breaking inside, he's just doing his best to gather the broken pieces and keep it all in. Perhaps Dad and I coming back here to recreate those moments from a long time ago might help soothe those wounds... She contemplated silently as she glanced over to the table for 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

*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
