Chapter Ninety-Nine

CHAPTER NINETY-NINE *You got to be kidding me! *Like a hungry animal, I tore the flesh of meat from the bones in rapid seconds and gobbled them down. The oily seasoning smudged her cheeks but she didn't care. She was starving! Her father, noticing, the smear on her cheeks, brought out a neatly folded napkin and gently brush off the stain from her cheeks. "There you go. Eat up." he crooned with a wide grin on his face. He cocked his head to Drake and gestured for him to take his seat and join them. He did just that. Dusk was falling rapidly as the sky cast unremitting darkness. The stars sparkled in the dusky sky. "Thank you, sir," He said. He pulled the chair to his side and slumped into it, grimacing in pain as he did so. Janice did not fail to notice and she immediately felt a pang of guilt as she watched him from the corner of her eyes. The barbecue chicken was served to them. Muttering thanks to James, he used his free hand to take a chunk of chicken and began munchi

CHAPTER HUNDRED *Her deranged and confused thoughts were all she knew*"You were what? I'm not sure I caught that." Her father asked, staring into her soul, his brows marred with curiosity and worry. Drake still maintained the indecipherable demeanour. Great! She made it too obvious that she was hiding something. But this time, she will keep it so. A part of her would want to share the creepy experience she had while she was unconscious but she had no idea where in the entire realm of the earth she was lurking. It was total darkness, devoid of life and form. She was just floating aimlessly in the darkness, with no sense of direction and meaning. She was battling with her inner self, her deranged and confused thoughts were all she knew. Did she perhaps die and come back to life without the two of them knowing? Now, that's a ludicrous assumption. No way that is true. Absolutely no way! She is herself, alive and whole. Whatever the crap that was... Was not real. She was t

Chapter Hundred-One

CHAPTER HUNDRED -ONE *If wishes were horses... *She turned to leave but hesitated as she snuck one final glance at Drake. He ignored her as he focused on devouring the roast chicken before him. Hmmm. He didn't even give a damn about her? What an asshole! Like she gives a fuck! Oh damn right she does but what the hell?Countless guys are more than willing to grovel before her and lick her feet but this so-called horse keeper is ignoring her entire existence like she didn't mean a single thing! Fuck! She feels insulted and spat upon! How embarrassing, seeking his validation and affection. What had come over her? She wasn't like this before! She would always get what she wants and when she wants it. If it's a good fuck, they are plenty of eligible, handsome and very rich men out there that are dying for her company. But she ignored them and instead sought this asshole's attention like a swoony little school girl that is in love. Shit! She needs a brain reset operation do

Chapter Hundred -Two

CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWO *A part of her wanted to scream how petrified she was*Her hazel eyes widened and narrowed immediately as she eyed him dubiously. How could he tell? Did she make it so damn obvious? Maybe she did. She is gradually going nuts after all. Fuck! I would not give him the satisfaction of provoking any discernible reactionfrom me. She jutted her chin at him, feigning indifference. "I have no idea what you're talking about." she snapped, folding her hands across her chest, hoping he couldn't see her thumping heart in her chest, threatening to rip out. That sounded ridiculous because She was simply overthinking things, reading more meaning into things than it needs to be. His mouth flattened into a tight line. "Don't play dumb with me, Jane. I know when something is up. You can't put anything past me." He prodded. She released an exasperated groan from her throat. "I told you already! I am super fine. As you can see. and besides, it's no business of yours

Chapter Hundred-Three

CHAPTER HUNDRED-THREE *She had misjudged him!*"C'mon spit it out before your Dad starts wondering what the hell is taking me so long." He pressed. She drew in several deep breaths and puff them out. Here it goes... "You don't know when to give up, do you?! anyways, um..." Where do I start from? She wondered, rubbing her chin thoughtfully. It is complicated. His blue eyes were pierced through hers intensely as he waited. "Okay, so you may find it hard to believe... And I am not entirely sure what really happened but I was trapped in some kind of darkness. " she swallowed a lump in her throat and pressed her lips together. Oh great! He might think that she had lost it now. His brows puckered in confusion but he still encouraged her to continue. "Go on please." he urged. She nodded. Okay, she can do this! "I know you may be thinking right now, what the hell is she talking about? And I wish I know the answer to that because I am as confused as you are right now," she s

Chapter Hundred-Four

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FOUR *But the nagging voice continued to torment him*Mr Hughen? Did she just call him that? Interesting. An amusing smile crossed his lips as he watched her retreating figure. She left in a hurry to get changed. And as he stood there watching her, a complex emotion stirred in his chest. When she had disappeared at the corner that led to the main house, he puffed out a deep breath and turned to return to Mr Jordan at the penthouse garden area where they are presently having a barbecue. By the time got there he was surprised to see that James, assisted by Abigail had begun packing and arranging the equipment and other materials used for the barbecue set up in the garage. Mr Jordan was making a call on his phone. His inaudible voice was tuned down as he sensed his presence. He spoke some more and hung up. "Took you long enough." He snapped, turning to face Drake, hiding hands on his hips. "I may have eaten something that didn't go well with my system. Maybe th

Chapter Hundred -Five

CHAPTER HUNDRED-FIVE *It's going to be a long night*His stomach churned at his words. Mr Jordan should return the favour. Of course, he had a motive for maintaining his competence as their horse keeper. First, not to lose his job and keep working for them in order to get closer to the truth eventually. Second, to end him. For good. He knows what James is suggesting But sadly, he is in no way after Mr Jordan's money or his property. To hell with those! His father's life and family's honour are worth much more than that. If no one would do that, he would. He would put an end to the jordans domination once and for all. With all the power insane power and the age-long secret that they have amassed for generations, he will break the circle and put them to shame. Yes, that is why he is here. Nothing more, nothing less. He swatted his hand on his shoulder, scowling at him playfully."Yeah right. It is just not part of my job description dude. How about you, why don't ask

Chapter Hundred-Six

CHAPTER HUNDRED-SIX *Today is a brand new day, Janice.*The vibration of her mobile snapped her awake from her sleep. Cursing under her breath and yawning, she tossed over the bed to grab her phone from the bedside table. Who could it be? Her weary eyes flickered to the wall clock. The time reads: 9:34 am.Oh... It's a little late in the morning. She really had a rough night last night. She could barely get a good night's sleep. As expected... After everything that had happened. Her brain decided to play a movie of her past for her. It was a very emotional movie indeed. She had cried her eyes out and had wished for her mother's presence more than ever. She puffed out a deep breath, clearing her aching throat. The vibration had stopped by the time she reached for her phone. She swiped to see who it was. A smile tugged at the corners of her chapped lips. Hannah! She was about to tap on the call back button when Hannah started calling again.After everything she had been th

Chapter Hundred-Seven

CHAPTER HUNDRED-SEVEN. *The pang of guilt persistently churned in her stomach*She was thankful that she was able to escape that call with her best friend without in any way disclosing the truth behind the dreadful incident that transpired that day. The rest of the day passed like a blur with nothing much to do than just lying on the lounge, sipping some wine and watching her favourite movie. And of course, thinking and worrying about Drake. Eager to know how he was faring she reached for her mobile and tapped on her contact list; she swiped upwards in search of his contact. Then his name popped up -Drake Hughen. Her heart fluttered nervously. She nibbled on her fingernails, pondering whether to place a call across or just send a text. She peered at her watch and the time was 2.40 pm. He should be awake and about. She wondered if he was okay, considering the injury he sustained during the fall. Her father had given him a three-a-day off to see the progress of his arm healing

Chapter Hundred-Eight

CHAPTER HUNDRED-EIGHT *She was eager to put the past behind her no matter what*She decided to drive herself. Driving by herself would provide the opportunity for her to clear out her thoughts. Hopefully... She was eager to put the past behind her no matter what. Hopefully, Hannah would not be able to detect that something is amiss. She won't be able to hide the truth from her this time around. This time around, they will be seen face to face and she trusts her best friend to know when something is wrong with her. She prayed silently, as she approached the restaurant, that she would not be able to keep up a front all through their time together until she leaves. The restaurant, according to Google Maps, took about, fifteen minutes to get there. She has been following the Google map, as advised by her best friend, to easily locate the restaurant and to which she did. She pulled up her convertible sleek red Benz at the parking lot. Janice had already texted her about ten min
