Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Two Hundred Seventy-Eight
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT*It is never going to happen, not in this life or the next.*"Congratulations Miss Janice Jordan!" Lorenzo bobbed his head slightly as she approached the end of the stage. Many people surrounded her, offering their congratulations. She had been caught up with the crowd around her. Many asked for her business cards which she instructed Sandra to distribute to them. Even celebrities came to offer their thanks and asked for her business card. She was extremely excited to give them. She came prepared. Before flying to Paris and with hopes of winning the award, she ensured that many copies of her business cards were made in case they meet likely clients in Paris who would want to do business with them... She had to be smart. She was going to one of the most fashion-blooming cities in the world... She simply can't afford to whisk that opportunity away like that. Thankfully, her dreams came to pass. He offered her his hand as he stretched his right

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-NINE *Yes, it's payback time*Janice cleared her throat weakly and forced a tight-lipped smile at Casanova. "Well, She is busy with work and couldn't make it. Can you guys excuse us for a minute? I will join you guys soon." She said to Sandra and Lorenzo gaping at the both of them. They nodded. She scurried toward Casanova and goaded to follow her to the balcony where they won't be seen. He didn't protest but followed her closely behind.When they got to the balcony, Janice's smile melted into a glare instantly. Casanova's brows scrunched up in confusion. "Why did you require a private meeting? Are you about to make a confession perhaps?" His lips curved teasingly, grating her nerves. "Confession my foot!" She scoffed. "The only confession I will be making to you is to let you know, in case you were wondering if my best friend still harbours any feelings for me, that I can guarantee you, she absolutely doesn't! So cut to the chase and let me kn

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY*"...The karma that is coming for you is even worse than death."*He blinked uncontrollably as his mouth gaped incredulously at Janice. He gently pressed his hands onto his soaked pants and slowly jerked his head back up at her. The whites of his eyes burned so violently that they turned pink. Passerbys paused to stare. Some gasped and some shook their heads in disbelief and embarrassment. A server quickly handed him a freshly folded towel to dab himself with. He snatched the towel from the server all the while his burning eyes were trained on her. "Oops, my hand moved on its own. I didn't mean to." Janice sniped playfully as her lips quivered in sheer mockery. Casanova scoffed and chuckle icily. He shook his head and took a tentative step towards her. Janice's heart raced. Was he going to hit her for purposely pouring a drink on him? He can't do that in public if he so values his goddamn reputation! And besides, that would cancel the sole reason he w

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-ONE*Now, eyes on the mission*"Hello Mum, how are you?" "Hanging in there until all is said and done." Drake puffed out a deep breath as he clutched the phone close to his ears and made his way to the armchair by the window side. It's a gloomy and chilly afternoon. Winter is drawing close here in London. The afternoon sun gleamed weakly, casting its light into the window. He had finished his morning warm-up at the stables with the horses, fed them and groomed them. Mr Jordan had noted that the horses should be prepared for a warm-up. He said about four horses. Drake had wondered what Mr Jordan is preparing them for. Maybe he is expecting some visitors? It's been ages since they had ridden in a group like that Since Janice's uncle came around. After he had finished warming up the horses he returned to his cabin room and realized he had missed several calls from his mother, Mary Orwell. It's been a while since she called. She probably has another side

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO *There's so much she doesn't know about and it is disturbing!* "Welcome back Honey and a hearty congratulations on your award. You know that I'm always proud of you!"Her mother said with a wide smile plastered on his face as he kissed her on her cheeks. She returned to London today and Mr Briggs was sent to the airport to pick her up. "Thank you, Dad. It feels so good to be back in London. Meanwhile, it is already freezing in Paris." She said as she slumped into the comfy couch, exhaling a wary sigh."That's the peeks of staying in London! London no doubt has the most amazing accommodating weather ever. You ready to eat?" He said as he joined her on the couch opposite hers. "Or a drink perhaps? it must have been an exhausting trip for you because you had to leave a little early." She shook her head gently. "Not exactly." He nodded. "By the way, your speech was fantastic. I couldn't help but cry. Your Mum must be so proud of you." He smiled

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-THREE*"Do you believe in Karma?" *"Heyyyy! A hearty congratulations to you Janice!" Hannah hugged her tightly as they settled down on her sofa in her room. Hannah had called to confirm if she was around and quickly drove over to her house. "I've been dying to see you so badly! You think I would just let you gist me over the phone and that's that? Hell, no way! Thankfully I got off work quite early today!" she smiled widely at her friend and embraced her again. Hannah leaned back and let her light-brow eyes to danced over her friend appreciatively before she added, "Paris sure looks good on you babe. First of all... I want to express my heartfelt congratulations to you! I'm so freaking proud of you Janice. I know how hard you have worked for this and I am so excited to see your dreams come to fulfilment. honestly, I couldn't be prouder. You go, girl! Keep breaking those boundaries, and living your life to the fullest because you deserve it! Come h

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR *It's about time I know what the heck is going on! I won't be left in dark anymore*"I do, I think. Why?" Hannah pursed her lips. Janice chuckled. "Everything.... all the horrible things Casanova did to you, Hannah do you think I would make it easy for him huh?" Hannah squinted at her friend dubiously. "Janice, what on earth did you do to Casanova?" "Inconceivable things," Janice muttered fiercely, a devilish grin spreading across her face as she leaned closer. Hannah widened her eyes. "What do you mean?" Janice burst out laughing, seeing the dead expression on her friend's face. Waving it off she said, "Okay, I was just kidding about the past part. But I did do something embarrassing to him. I couldn't help it after everything he did to you." "Okay, what the hell did you do to him? Just say it already! Surely it couldn't be that bad right?" Hannah rolled her eyes at her and shook her head. Janice puffed out a deep breath in resigna

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-FIVE*The nagging feeling was far from being gone rather it intensified... *"Why? It's rare to see you here honey. Do come in." Mr Thomas Jordan said as he held out the door for her. Janice gingerly stepped into her father's spacious bedroom.When was the last time she was aware? She certainly can't remember... Oh, that's right, since her mother passed away. They had one kind size bed and two separate beds and rooms when they require privacy. She found it absurd for a couple to have two separate beds and rooms or maybe because there were plenty of rooms and her father didn't know what to use them for. Anyway, she was here with one goal in mind: To seek answers. No looking back. Hannah had just left for about half an hour and she had retired to her bedroom to gather thoughts before she finally decided to barge into his bedroom and have a talk with her. Thankfully, he obliged her. He gestured to the Chesterfield sofa beside the window. "You seat t

*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
