Chapter Seventy-Nine

CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE *The mystery birthday present*"Jordan! It was supposed to be a secret you loose mouth!" she hissed, poking him playfully at his side. She cleared her throat loudly, smiling awkwardly at Janice. "Don't mind your father. Now get some rest. Your big day is here. Love you bye!" She blew her kisses and nudged Jordan out of Janice's bedroom and closed the door behind him. Janice sighed deeply, wondering what her parents got her this time. She eased herself into the bed, resting her body lazily on it and kept pondering on what they could possibly have bought for her this time. There's nothing they cannot get her. So long as the money is available, they are more than willing to splurge on her. What is the ideal present for an eighteen years old girl though? Designer clothes, shoes and bags? Certainly not because she already got tons of them. A car? Nope. Mum had insisted it was still early for her. So what could it be? Exasperated she sighed deeply. I

CHAPTER EIGHTY *The Classical Uncle Francis*As if they already knew she was coming, because when she approached the garden, thunderous applause filled the air then followed by the blasting of party horns. "Happy birthday, Janice!!!!" they all chorused at the top of their voices. Her mother and father were already there with balloons and party horns in their hands. They pulled her into their arms for a bear hug, kissing her hair and face rather violently. They were filled with joy and their faces said pretty much. When she pulled back from the rather tight embrace that was almost choking her, she couldn't help but feel the heaviness in her throat as she beheld the unshed tears welling up in their eyes as they looked lovingly at her. Her heart sank. They deserve so much and yet she was rather unappreciative of the sacrifices they made for her sake. She turned to allow her eyes to dart over the place. The decorations were in order and were done with sheer concentration and ca

Chapter Eighty-One

CHAPTER EIGHTY-ONE *The Big Reveal! *She walked toward the artfully carved sculptor of herself slowly. The crowd suddenly grew quiet as they watched her draw closer to the statute. Gingerly, she traced her finger across the nape of the statute. It was oddly her other self eerily staring back at her. The statue was herself dressed like a Princess in classical times. She looked like a Greek princess. She marvelled at the sight of the statue with dewy eyes. She whipped around with a glum look on her face. "I don't love this." she declared. The audience gasped in shock. Her parents were not spared. In fact, they looked like they have seen a ghost. She swallowed. "Instead, I freaking love it!!!!" she gushed, giggling loudly. The crowd was stunned at first but gasped in delight at her sudden change of mood. They all cheered. Her parents puffed out a deep breath, the tension visibly leaving their stiffened shoulders. They were relieved as they lurched towards her with outst

CHAPTER EIGHTY-TWO *Naming your horse gives it its uniqueness*"Oh my God Dad!" Janice cried exuberantly. "this is unbelievable! I wasn't expecting this at all." She clamped a hand over her mouth as admired the beautiful Filly. (a young female horse)The Cleveland Bay Horse stood elegantly as it neighed softly and flipped her honey-coloured curls. Her father bought her a horse! She could hardly believe her eyes.For the first time, he got her the very gift she could cherish no flamboyant flashy and expensive stuff. This horse is going to be her ride or die. At last, she could practice horse riding with this and hopefully catch up to her father. As if she can. She gingerly closed the gap between her and the filly. Tentatively, she stretched a shaky hand over the Filly and stroked its curls gently. Her lips broke into a wide grin as she scrutinized the young horse with curiosity and wonderment. Her parents were very pleased to see her reaction to the big reveal. They were e

Chapter Eighty-Three

CHAPTER EIGHTY-THREE *A letter to my late Grandmother*"Hailey..." Her grandmother, Claire Jordan sat on the balcony in her house when they came for a visit. Janice was obediently seated at her feet as she listened to her Grandmother's stories. The sun had completely receded and the spectrum of light was spread so the violet wavelengths filtered through all of the moisture and turned the sky to purple.Janice was barely six. Her grandfather, Walter Jordan had died when she was barely six months at age 105. He lived fucking long. While her Grandmother did not leave long to make it for her seventh birthday. Traditionally, her parents visit her house twice a year. The beautiful countryside of Edinburgh. Her Grandmother was an avid storyteller and she feds her with a lot of intriguing bedtime stories. Most times, she ends up awake almost all through the night instead of falling asleep. so it was one of those occasions that she had called this familiar name, Hailey. But this time

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR *They have been too cryptic lately*"I will name her ... Hailey!" she announced with her chin lifted in confidence. She is not confused anymore. She knows what she needs to do now. HAILEY is the suitable name for this Filly. All thanks to Grandma! The crowd broke into a frenzy of excitement as they cheered. Her parents ran to her and hauled her into their arms, raining kisses on her hair. "You finally named her! I'm so proud of you!" Her mother said breezily, Kissing her cheeks sweetly. "Congratulations kiddo! You're now officially a horse owner! A full-fledged Jordan. However...." She quirked an eyebrow at him Inquisitively. What now? She had named the Filly as he wished, now what? She puffed out an exasperated deep breath, her hands on her waist. "Now what Dad? What more do you want?" she asked warily. He chuckled. " Don't get the wrong idea. You're Jordan through and through love. However, you will have to complete the ritual." Dilated hazel eyes bored

Chapter Eighty-Five

CHAPTER EIGHTY-FIVE *The Ritual is yet to be completed! *His words made no sense instead, his words drove her to the brink of trepidation. She forced a lump down her throat, grimacing. She turned to face her mother again but to her surprise, she remained composed. Her equanimity infuriated her. Dejected, she bit her lower lip in defeat. I don't care! Whatever they planned out to surprise her or scare her is absolutely none of her business. Even though, today is her birthday but who gives a damn? Certainly not her, the celebrant. To their alarm, she chuckled wryly. She tipped her head challengingly at her father with folded arms across her narrow chest. "Let's hear it Dad!" she demanded. Good! At least she managed pretty well to hold her welling fear at bay. Now, what her father would say next will determine how well she can still manage to put up her mask of confidence. Hopefully, her pretense will not snap. She can't beat causing a scene on the day of her birthday. Bec

Chapter Eighty-Six

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SIX *I have no idea how to ride a horse*Abigail swallowed but didn't say anything. A short silence. "Are there any more weird surprises lurking around that I need to be aware of? I'm begging you, Abigail, just say it." She insisted as her hands flail aggressively around her. Abigail took a deep breath and let it out, in a rather urbane fashion. She clamped her thin lips together briefly before she responded. Her voice was calm and controlled. "Even if there was, you perfectly know that it is certainly not in my place to know whatever conversation that may have transpired between your parents. . I am only told what I am instructed to know. I'm afraid I don't know anything as regards your question." Janice rolled her eyes and puffed out a deep breath out of frustration. "Are you serious?" she asked, her intense hazel sharp eyes darting all over her elderly face. She nodded courteously. " I'm afraid so." She groaned."We need to go get ready now. Time is ti

Chapter Eighty-Seven

CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN *Everyone is watching us? *She swallowed thickly, bracing herself for what was to come. She resigned to her fate. Let's get this over and done with already. She drew in several deep breaths and let them all out. Meanwhile, the crowd continued to cheer her massively. Charles mounted his stallion gracefully beside her. He wore khaki pants and a body-hugged ash-coloured T-shirt with buckled straps fastened around his upper body. "Relax Janice and listen attentively. For first-timers, we will take it slow, Alright?" he said nicely, cocking his head at her. She gulped and nodded slowly. The fuck understands a damn thing! She just want to go back to her room and pretend this day never existed! She forced an elegant smile at him. "Aye," she said faintly. He nodded. "Good. Now we take a stroll with the Filly. You must be gentle with her because apparently she's still very young and it's kind of her first time too. Do you understand?" She nodded. "How do

Chapter Eighty-Eight

CHAPTER EIGHTY-EIGHT*The accident*She found it hard to concentrate on the path ahead of them knowing full well that they were being watched. She forced a lump down her throat, latching on to the reins with all of her might as the Filly thrust forward with agility. Charles, by her side, was riding his stallion with so much adeptness. As expected of a horse keeper. He possessed commendable experience in horse riding. He once told her parents that he had been horse riding for good twenty-five years since he was barely ten. No wonder then he was skilled in horse riding. He drove the horse effortlessly like a piece of cake. She watched him with sheer admiration and really hoped that someday she would advance to that stage of expertise. Like her father and uncle. She sighed deeply and focus on the path ahead of them. Now, they are gradually approaching a steep descent of fresh water over a rocky ledge. Hailey flipped her head to the side and neighed in alarm. She yelped in shock a
