CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED -TWENTY

*What suddenly changed?*

After further questioning by the police officers at the behest of

Drake and then, Nana came almost immediately to pick them up and dropped the off at the hotel.

They drove to the hotel in silence. No one wants to relieve the horrid event of that day. They arrived at the hotel around a quarter past eleven pm.

Nana saw them off to the hotel lobby.

She cleared her throat and offered Janice a rueful smile.

"Janice, I am so sorry what happened to you. I can't imagine what you are feeling inside right now. And I-"

"You warned me, Nana but I was adamant. So there's no need for you to apologize." Janice cut her off with a tight-lipped smile of shame.

It was her fault anyway. Nana did the best she could as her travel tour Agent, she already warned her of the adversity that she might face if she had ventured outside of the beach at that time and she had smartly suggested that she remained calm until Drake arrives but she was insistent and h

I'm about to order. What do you wanna eat?"She halted and sagged her shoulders and turned around slowly."I'm not exactly hungry. What I need now is a hot bath and I'm gonna be okay." She forced a smile."No." He said in a clipped tone and took a long stride towards her.Her jaw stiffened as he approached.She gulped as the churning in her stomach started again."The last time I checked, we couldn't even eat at the restaurant because of your sudden disappearance. Everyone was on edge." He rasped, piercing his unwavering gaze at her.She shifted relentlessly on her feet."Well, you can't force me to eat can you?" she said tipping her chin at him.He chuckled and drew closer.

He whispered, nuzzling her ear.She chuckled in satisfaction, licking her lips."Hmmm..." Janice cooed, fixing her sex-thirst desire on his luscious lips.She bit her bottom lip furiously as the only thought that flooded through her mind was just to press her lips against his, sucking, biting, and plunging deeper, till she reaches his soul.If that is realistic though....but she could care less as the only thoughts running endlessly through her mind right now were to ravage his entire body and kiss every inch of his well-sculptured body.Arghh!!!!

Her damp blonde hair cascaded down her young shoulders, making her look sexy and hot.Drake couldn't get his eyes off her. His lips were slightly agape as he leered at her like she was a juicy steak and he hadn’t eaten in days.The corner of her life curved up in a smug lop-sided grin as she caught him ogling at her.She cleared her throat, trying to win his attention back to her.He wheezed as he shook his head in awe.His adam's apple bobbed as his eyes stubbornly drift to the V-neck of her robe where the swell of her breast heaved in a steady motion.Damn! He curse internally as he felt the bulge of his hardened cock straining in his pants again.He quickly cleared his throat and flashed her a toothy smile."Took you long enough to round off in there. What took you so long anyways? Having labour?" his lips curled up teasingl

How are you doing ?!" his voice was quite enthusiastic for such an odd hour.Furrowing her brows in suspicion, she replied."I'm doing great!" she feigned excitement."I'm glad to hear that! So how has South Africa been so far with you since you arrived?" "Splendid! " she replied A tense Silence lingered in the air.Then after a brief moment that seemed like an eternity to Janice, he finally said,"Are you sure?" he quizzed abruptly unnerving her.Where is this question coming from? Why is her father suddenly asking her that? Is he suspecting anything?Or perhaps she is merely overthinking things.Calm your tits down Janice. You are probably overthinking things again.She gulped."Yes! Why?" she sputtered slightly, silently hoping that he didn't pick that off.She inhaled deeply, holding her breath for his next response."Okay...", she said flatly.

She shot him an apologetic stare."I'm sorry I didn't mean to keep you waiting ."Drake heaved out a deep sigh."Nah it's alright. That was your father wasn't it?"She nodded.He scraped the chair backward giving her room to seat comfortably.She mouthed her thanks and with a loud exasperated groan, she slumped into the chair."Yeah...you know how my father can be at times. Sorry for the delay and now it's my fault for letting the food run cold."Drake shrugged as he took his seat right beside her.He puffed out a deep breath."Can we start eating now? I am starving so badly and I didn't want to start without you," he asked as his ocean-blue eyes scanned the table hungrily.She chuckled and waved him off."That's so sweet of you. C'mon enough talk now let's dig in!" They began to eat in silence, save for the sound of their h

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED -TWENTY-SIX*You have no idea about the terrible mistake you are about to make.....*Wait!Do I actually love this guy? For real?I know it's just not for the good steamy sex but something pulls me towards him. Janice silently pondered as she studied him across the table discreetly.Awareness of him prickled across her skin. He was a potent force in such a small enclosure, radiating a palpable energy and sexual magnetism that had her shifting restlessly in her seat. Her breathing became as ragged as her heartbeat. Janice felt that inexplicable pull to him again, as if he exuded a silent demand that she was instinctively attuned to answering-Akin to a strong magnetic force."Hey?! Are you still with me!" Drake's voice broke through her reverie as he waved at her lost face."I lost you for a minute. So much like you to space out!" he ribbed.She scoffed and straightened her shoulders, rolling her eyes."I am fine. I guess I got a little carried away." she tucked a s

    CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED-TWENTY-SEVEN *How about, do you know that your father is a fucking murderer?!* "Here, drink up!" He said excitedly as he handed her the glass of red wine.She reluctantly grabbed the glass of wine and gingerly brought the tip of the glass to her nose, inhaling the sharp, endearing scent of the wine.The aroma dulled her senses and she could feel her self-control slipping out of her body gradually.She gulped and snuck a glance at Drake over the curve of the glass.He noticed how uncomfortable she was and to his greatest surprise, something spurned in his heart towards her.Pity? Remorse?He bit his lip furiously in her attempt to stamp this strange feeling welling up inside of him.This is pointless. He had come this far and he simply can not let his emotions get the best of him.The plan continued regardless.He cleared his throat and edged closer to the table, his brows raised curiously."Are you alright, Jane? You aren't drinking your wine." He said soothingl

Drake countered, offering her a reassuring smile.Janice released an exasperated groan, rolling her eyes."Okay, yes he did but that was after my incessant nagging!" she squealed.Drake chuckled and then his brows furrowed as he said in her grim voice,"Your father cherishes and loves you deeply, Janice.

    *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

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.

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
