Her Tempting Nemesis Chapter Two Hundred Sixty-Four
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-FOUR *Is this truly the end for him yet?*"it is a rare medical condition that is not necessarily attributed to genetics. And you have absolutely nothing to worry about your daughter, Mr. Jordan. You need to focus on getting better and fit. If we cooperate together, we can properly manage this disease and reduce its fatality rate to the barest minimum. I am certain we can do this." He said confidently with a reassuring smile. But Mr. Jordan was not convinced. "What do you mean by Fatality rate? Am I going to die sooner or later doctor?" he asked pointedly. His father had always thought him to be daring and face his fears head-on. According to him, there's no point beating around the bush at some point you will get tired of beating about so much so why don't you just go directly and do what you gotta do? He inhaled deeply. He is prepared for the worst and at the same time, he must finish his mission. The doctor was visibly flustered by his sudden bl

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-FIVE*Isabella... I hope this is what you also wish for? *"What is it, Thomas? Tell me. I am your best friend. I will keep it a secret if you wish. I promise. don't bear this alone. I got your back like the old times." Mr George persuaded him as his amber eyes were intended and hooded upon his. He inhaled deeply and tapped his fingers restlessly on the table. "That I might probably don't have enough time. So we better act fast I suppose." "You mean about your daughter's situation?" He nodded. "I'm afraid so. I know Janice can be stubborn and I want the best for her. I have to do this for her sake. She might not understand that now, but I hope that someday she will." George heaved out a deep sigh as he reclined his head on his chair. "I understand but don't you think it might be a little difficult to convince her after hiding everything from her? Considering how stubborn your daughter can be, you don't expect her to jump on the offer just like that."

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-Six*Bingo!*"Thank you so much Mr. Lorenzo for making out time of your busy schedule to join me. I really appreciate your efforts. Please come in." Janice flashed him a warm smile as she led him into her office. "Of course. Why would I not answer when fashion beckons? Fashion is my life and the air I breathe and from a smart, hard-working, and influential woman like you, I wouldn't miss this opportunity for the world. You deserve my audience." He grinned widely at him almost revealing a flash of a golden tooth. He looked so Italian. With his very long thick brown hair that cascaded to his broad shoulders. He wore an open V-shaped Versace shirt, revealing his scrubby hairy chest, in ripped black jeans and a golden expensive boots. A golden Versace leather belt was tied around his lean waist. To top it up with a hat. His dark Dior shades were obscuring the expression in his eyes. Janice giggled at his savvy pickup line. "Right this way please." She

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-SEVEN*Lucid dream-The Maze*"Can I talk to you, honey?" Her father said as she arrived home. It has been an extremely long day and she is so exhausted. She wondered what her father wanted to talk about. "Hi, Dad. What is it?" "Come sit with me for a bit if you don't mind?" He was lounging on the couch, a wine was in his hand. She quirked a suspicious eyebrow at him. "Is everything alright, Dad?" He nodded. "Of course it is. Come on sweetie." She walked to him and the seat beside him. He drew her close and pecked her cheeks. "How was work today?" he asked. "It was great. I had an important appointment with the fashionista guru I mentioned some time ago. Mr. Lorenzo, do you remember?" He shook his head slowly, squinting his eyes as he tried to remember. "No, I don't exactly remember darling." "Well, he happened to be in town and thankfully he agreed to have a meeting with me concerning my fashion business. Mr. Lorenzo is a hot cake in the fashion s

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTY-EIGHT*I never wanted to be here....*A grey Mercedez Benz pulled over in Janice's car park, and from the porch, Janice could see Matthew's face. She had a lot to deal with right now, and Matthew Castle was far from her list. She wore a grimace on her face, clearly irritated by the mere sight of him. She had been avoiding him for the past few days like a plague - he just had to show up unannounced in her house. She examined his frame as he trudged away from the park. His long brown hair fell over his shoulders, and his amber eyes, she couldn't make out what they looked like beneath his sunglasses, and his tall muscular frame showed his intentional with his workouts, she took in all his features and despite this dazzling frame in his expensive clothes, he looked nothing like him. Her mind briefly drifted to Drake, her housekeeper. Matthew would probably find it ridiculous that she was madly in love with a simpleton like Drake. As he was coming closer, Jan

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SIXTY-NINE *What the hell did he ever do to her to make her despise him so much?*Matt chuckled wryly and took a sip from the glass of chilled wine and set the glass down on the table. "Don't hide it, Janice. You have a man, don't you? That should be the obvious reason you have been avoiding me. spill the beans. If you have a man, introduce me to him. C'mon now, don't be just a tease!" It would definitely not go well if he was ever introduced to her new lover. He would strangle him to death if he has the chance! No one comes close to Janice! He deserves her more than anything! He won't give in so lightly. Janice puffed out an exasperated groan and rolled her eyes in frustration. "For crying out loud, Matt! I don't have a lover! Even if I did, it's none of your fucking business! Please!" She squealed in rage, drawing attention from onlookers to their table. She bit her bottom lip aggressively as embarrassment tinted crimson on her cheeks. She lowered her

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY*Remember, play along*She laughed nervously, waving him off. "I wouldn't be here if your presence disgusted me that much. I would have turned your offer down without a second thought!" she countered his claims, hoping he buys it and not delve further otherwise she might be screwed before she finds out the truth. His dubious amber eyes skimmed her features closely and then he puffed out a deep sigh in resignation. "Okay, you got a point. I'm still surprised that you finally accepted to see me. I thought I disgust you so much. Anyway, I'm so glad you are here and I hope that we can at least have a fruitful conversation. Right?" He urged, with a grin tugging at the corner of his lips. She nodded and forced a smile at him. Just play along, Janice. She chided herself internally. "Sure." She said gently, all the while masking a face of delight. Let's get things straight, She never wanted to be here. At all! But she had to. Something seemed off lat

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY- ONE *She may never know or she may find out when it's already too late...*How did he know about Drake?! Oh right... Dad would have told him about him and her travels. What more could he possibly know about Drake? She bit her bottom lip nervously and quickly reached for the fresh milkshake already placed on the table by the waiter. She took a long deep sip, hoping it calms her fluttering heartbeats. Just mentioning his name sent shivers jolting through her body. She didn't want him to know anything about Drake at all and now that he mentioned it, how the hell is she going to dodge it? She had barely asked any of the questions she had planned to ask and now he is already asking about Drake. Oh, fuck! Things aren't exactly going as she had planned. Now, take a deep breath Janice and answer smartly. You can't afford to let out any indication whatsoever that you have a thing going on with Drake. If Matt finds out, then she is so screwed. Things wi

*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
