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*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
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE*Please God let it be Finn!*"Huh?" Rachael mumbled, slightly taken aback."C'mon Jane it's over and done with now, right? You got your herbal blended tea now. Let her off the hook already." Hannah coaxed.Janice rolled her eyes, "I said I was going to but I'm not going to do it anymore alright? She got lucky this time." That insufferable bitch! Rachael bit her lower lip as her skin crawled with resentment and rage. She, however, managed to force a wide smile and bowed her head in appreciation. "Oh thank you miss Janice for your kindness!" Oh for fuck's sake don't make me laugh! Kindness? Really? This woman is all shades of arrogant and annoying!Admittedly, as much as she hates to accept it, her milky skin poking out of her pyjamas, her moist blonde hair that rested on her shoulders, her enthralling hazel eyes that peered at her and her firm full breast that is tucked beneath her shirt made her a living goddess and enhanced her beauty even more. All natural a
CHAPTER THIRTY*We never had a thing going on*A sob crammed her chest as her eyes remained shut, still hoping the stranger was Finn.The clouds slowly unveiled the moon. the moonlight glowed in the night sky casting a silver gleam. Her eyes adjusted to the stables a little clearer. It was a large one and the horses were tethered sprawled on the floor in their respective place. His grip on her mouth slowly loosened up as he moved back inches away from her back to face her. She lurched away as she snapped her head in time to see who the stranger was. Her breathing was still ragged in panic. His silhouette was athletic and dominating as he towered over her. Despite the evening darkness, she could still make out the glint in his eyes beguiling her toward him. He ran his big hands through his tousled hair and chuckled."Rachael? What the hell!" He rasped.The familiar voice hit her like a bag of bricks followed by relief washing through her. She hauled herself at him and gave him a ti
CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE*What a fool she had been!*She gasped in shock. Her hands clamped on her mouth to resist a huge sob from escaping her mouth. Fresh tears flowed from her eyes. She was too befuddled and shocked to speak.Silence filled the air. She sniffled as she wiped the tears from her eyes with her shaky hands. A determined glint flashed in her eyes as she cocked her head to him. "Have I been a joke to you all these times Finn?" She could care less if he didn't like the idea of calling his name."You never loved me? What happened to the memories we had together, the lovemaking, the confessions of love?" Her voice broke. She couldn't help it-she was literally shattered.Drake chuckled scornfully. "My love you're being too fanciful for your own good. Maybe I should say it like this instead, I don't love you, Rachael. Is that crystal clear enough or I should spell it out again?" She balled her fists at her side while fighting the urge to slap the leer across his face. The nerve
CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO*It must be fulfilled at all costs!*Ensuring she was out of the compound discreetly enough not to be seen by Janice or rouse any suspicion whatsoever to the point that he lied to the security guard, who was looking at Racheal sceptically and with confusion, that she lost her way around the large compound and found herself in the stables. The security guard nodded slowly but still gave Racheal the once-over look as she glanced at Drake before she exited. He drew in deep breaths as he slumped into the creaking twin bed. Well, at least the security guard bought the idea. He hoped...And Janice wouldn't have to know about it. Phew! What a day! Rachael... That girl is full of surprises! This is what he dreaded the most about her. Really. First, she came all the way from Scotland to London and second, swung by at the Jordan's! And the most troubling of all is that she's beginning to ask some really personal questions she shouldn't be asking at all; Why did he chang
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE*To the Orwells!*"But the question is, who will be the instrument of vengeance?" The mother asked soberly, gliding her gaze between her two sons. "Nevertheless, it is going to be a very cooperative mission. All hands must be on deck. And I mean you two must get along. But first, we will need someone to keep an eye very closely on their day-to-day life."Drake knew from the start that he wanted to be the one and not his stupid brother. He's gonna ruin so many things. And he despises working in a team. He's a solo maniac so it's a big NO.Drake signified with a show of his hand mid-air. " I will volunteer mother. You know I am best suited for this, unlike my brother." His brother chuckled softly. " Mother, let's be honest, this is a revenge game we're talking about here, brother. Let's face it, Finn is going to ruin the mission before it takes shape. He's too soft!" He chided. Calling his name made his insides churn in disgust and anger. Belittling like he's a ki
CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR*Nothing More. Nothing Less*"We will see..." And the smirk that followed flashed in his mind. Having his brother in London is a terrible idea and he'd do anything to avoid that! Hence, successfully fulfilling the family's mission of revenge is his top priority. Remember, no feelings attached, and his past, detached. Simple! He sighed deeply. "Do you have feelings for Janice Jordan?" Rachael's words came to his mind again. Of course not! He can't afford to! He mustn't fall under her spell. Otherwise, his evil brother will return to his life and all hell will be let loose. Besides, he's simply messing with her. Or was he messing with his emotions? Cut the crap man! Today could have been far worse if Janice had caught him with Racheal. but thankfully, that didn't happen. So why is he all rattled and thinking about the past and his brother? But Why does he feel as if he's slowly skidding off track just a little bit?No! He slapped his face with his hands to scold him
