CHAPTER TWENTY*The Radiant Isabella 3--How I met your father*He didn't pay any attention to the man gruelling at his feet. His hazel eyes were still locked on the woman dressed in a strange well-fitted corset and a fathered hat even though it was the late 20th century. He was amused and intrigued by the lady before him.She bowed her head a little as her body swayed."My sincere apologies sir, for impeding your trip. But I'm in dire need of a lift as I have important supplies due and I'm running out of time. If you could be so kind as to help me, sir... I would never forget it in her lifetime and I shall pay back if you want!" She spoke as calmly as possible. But wait a minute! What did she just say? Repay him?! How on earth will she repay the Jordans of all people?! Although her family had done several businesses with them, she wasn't quite sure if he knew she was from the Dankworth family.She raised her head to meet his face. It was rather expressionless. She could not fathom wha

Chapter Twenty-One

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE*The Radiant Isabella 4--How I Met Your Father*The Jordans' house was a mansion with huge three-story buildings towering above other buildings around it. The building was akin to a castle, typical of the Victorian era. Turrets and dormers jutted out from the building. The stained glass reflected the receding sunset, casting a pale tint of orange.She inhaled and exhaled repeatedly and then squared her shoulders resolutely."Let's do this! Remember, family, comes first." She reassured herself."I'm ready."The huge door creaked open as the butler announced her presence. "Isabella Dankworth coming through!"The nice fragrance of flowers that beautifully decorated the foyer wafted through her nostrils as she stepped in. The room was large with tall ceilings, light fixtures, Tiffany lamps(with lampshades made of glass) and candles glittered in the hallway, living room and the dining room at the other end of the large room. The butler, a tall, somewhat lanky man in a ta

Chapter Twenty-Two

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO*The Radiant Isabella 5--How I Met Your Father*A cold splash of water on her face jerked her from her sleep. Her drowsy eyes flew open in irritation but dilated in shock to see who was standing at the door, Lady Claire with her hands on her hips and eyes flashing with outrage. Beside her was a chubby woman dressed in an apron."Good Morning little princess. Hope you slept well?" Her shrill tone was laced with mockery.She swung up in hysteria not knowing what to do or how to respond."You fool! Do you know what the time is?!" She rasped."G-Good morning my Lady, I-I am very sorry for my tardiness." She sputtered with her head bowed and eyes lowered.The cold gush of air from the opened window of the small cottage sent a shiver through her body. Her now wet clothes clung to her skin."Humph! Alice, you're in charge! Give her all the dirty work and ensure she does everything!" She whipped around and stormed out, the receding clicking of her low heels signalled her dep

Chapter Twenty-Three

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE*That bitch!*"Hmm, that's quite the story. Very intriguing indeed. Your mother was a hero! Plus, who would have known that your father was a hot man in his youthful days! I see where he gets his looks!" She winked at Janice.They both chortled heartily. The two girls were sprawled out on the love seat sofa. Two empty bottles of red wine champagne were on the floor. They had been drinking while they were lost in the stories of the past."She said, no true love without obstacles. Maybe the obstacle is my father's disapproval I don't know. But she said I will understand when I get older. Hannah, I'm not sure if I understand" she shook her head in uncertainty.Hannah placed her hands on her shoulder with a smile on her face."You need not worry. I'm sure you will understand when the time is right. For now, let's focus on you getting better okay?" She reassured her friend.Janice nodded. "I suppose you're right!" She grinned. She needs to live in the present and no

Chapter Twenty-Four

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR*Ooops! Serves you right bitch!*"Ahem. Good day, and welcome to St. Lauren's Tea shop. What may I uh offer you?" Rachael forced a smile as she reached for the iPad from her apron.Janice and Hannah seemed to be so engrossed in their discussion that they didn't notice her at first. Hannah noticed first and nodded to her."What would you like to take Jane? I suggest something that will help with your recuperation."Rachael's brows shot up suspiciously. Recuperation? Was she sick? That explains why they rarely come around like they used to."Hmmm," Janice said dragging the word out as she thought of what to order. With narrow eyes, She mulled over the menu a little longer and then her eyes sparked up as she got the best pick. With her slender coloured fingers pointing at the particular menu she wanted, she declared breezily, "I will have a herb tea blend with organic ginger and Aronia berry."Rachael keyed the order in the iPad and turned to Hannah. "And you Ma'am?"

Chapter Twenty-Five

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE*she made a fool of me!*Judith raced to the VIP section, panting with her eyes widened in shock."Oh my! Miss Jordan this was a terrible accident. I apologise for my co-worker's tardiness she's still new." Judith begged. Rachael scowled at Judith discreetly.Janice was too focused to get herself out of this mess that she didn't pay any attention to Judith.Hannah jolted up and scurried to Janice's side to help her up.She turned to Judith "Where is the bathroom?" She asked holding Janice around her waist to steady her."She will show you.", Judith cocked her head to Racheal. Rachael nodded frantically and led them to the bathroom.Janice was finding it difficult to walk because some of the contents of the cup had seeped through her sandals. Hannah lent her a hand as they wobbled into the bathroom passed the prying eyes of the public.Janice quickly got the water running and cupped her hands through the running water and dabbed it on her face. Rachael fetched so

Chapter Twenty-six

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX*There's Fire on the Mountain!*"You know if the manager finds out about this, you're screwed!" Judith snarled pointedly at Racheal."And so are you! I mean, it's your shift, not mine." Rachael spat as she simpered, looking pleased with herself.Judith cringed at the last statement for she knew Racheal was spitting facts! It was her shift in the first place and she allowed Racheal to swap places with her. Nevertheless, they are both dead if they don't do something about it!Judith took in several deep breaths to calm her grating nerves."Fine. You're right! If the manager is let in on what transpired today, then we're both toasts! Laid off even with no questions asked. Miss Jordan is a very invaluable customer here, the manager will always side with her. So the problem is, what are we gonna do to evade that? I can't afford to lose my Job, Racheal. I'm the only breadwinner in my family right now." She queried frantically. Rachael paused as her lips formed a hard line

Chapter Twenty-seven

CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN*Today can't get any far worse right?*"Here. help me make the iced cappuccino," Racheal said as she glanced at the iPad, where the orders were saved, propped up on the kitchen table. "While I focus on the herb blended tea."Judith nodded in affirmation. "Okay." And then reached for the espresso machine.It took them roughly fifteen minutes to make the tea and coffee. Thankfully the exact cake was already baked earlier and then stored in the fridge, saving them the trouble of making another and simply just oven-baked it a little and boom! They are set and ready to go!Rachael changed into her grey tank top and slid into her sweater. The weather tends to be a little frigid in the evenings around this time of the year.Judith draped her shawl around her shoulders after changing too and reached for her tote bag and then handed the package to her."Here you go. Good luck!" Judith beamed at her but her eyes betrayed her as they darkened with anxiety.Rachael noticing i

Chapter Twenty-Eight

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT*God! She loathed this woman!*"What the hell are you doing here?!" Janice growled with clenched teeth. The last thing she expects was to come face to face with the very waiter that ruin her day and worse still, standing in front of her house! The nerve of her!Rachael on the other hand predicted she would react like an enraged beast. Her motive for showing up in her house was not to see her. She's just doing Judith a favour as she is on the brink of losing her job. Yeah, you heard it loud and clear, "her job" not "ours" because she got nothing to lose after all. She came to London with the sole aim of seeing Finn. That was why she got herself a job at St Lauren's which unknown to her, Janice frequents. In fact, she was surprised to see her target coming to her. It was an opportunity she couldn't afford to just whisk away and she did the most inconceivable thing she had ever done for a man. Sadly, the man that has been avoiding her. The man that she questions his
