CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY-EIGHT*It is never going to happen, not in this life or the next.*"Congratulations Miss Janice Jordan!" Lorenzo bobbed his head slightly as she approached the end of the stage. Many people surrounded her, offering their congratulations. She had been caught up with the crowd around her. Many asked for her business cards which she instructed Sandra to distribute to them. Even celebrities came to offer their thanks and asked for her business card. She was extremely excited to give them. She came prepared. Before flying to Paris and with hopes of winning the award, she ensured that many copies of her business cards were made in case they meet likely clients in Paris who would want to do business with them... She had to be smart. She was going to one of the most fashion-blooming cities in the world... She simply can't afford to whisk that opportunity away like that. Thankfully, her dreams came to pass. He offered her his hand as he stretched his right

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY*"...The karma that is coming for you is even worse than death."*He blinked uncontrollably as his mouth gaped incredulously at Janice. He gently pressed his hands onto his soaked pants and slowly jerked his head back up at her. The whites of his eyes burned so violently that they turned pink. Passerbys paused to stare. Some gasped and some shook their heads in disbelief and embarrassment. A server quickly handed him a freshly folded towel to dab himself with. He snatched the towel from the server all the while his burning eyes were trained on her. "Oops, my hand moved on its own. I didn't mean to." Janice sniped playfully as her lips quivered in sheer mockery. Casanova scoffed and chuckle icily. He shook his head and took a tentative step towards her. Janice's heart raced. Was he going to hit her for purposely pouring a drink on him? He can't do that in public if he so values his goddamn reputation! And besides, that would cancel the sole reason he w

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-TWO *There's so much she doesn't know about and it is disturbing!* "Welcome back Honey and a hearty congratulations on your award. You know that I'm always proud of you!"Her mother said with a wide smile plastered on his face as he kissed her on her cheeks. She returned to London today and Mr Briggs was sent to the airport to pick her up. "Thank you, Dad. It feels so good to be back in London. Meanwhile, it is already freezing in Paris." She said as she slumped into the comfy couch, exhaling a wary sigh."That's the peeks of staying in London! London no doubt has the most amazing accommodating weather ever. You ready to eat?" He said as he joined her on the couch opposite hers. "Or a drink perhaps? it must have been an exhausting trip for you because you had to leave a little early." She shook her head gently. "Not exactly." He nodded. "By the way, your speech was fantastic. I couldn't help but cry. Your Mum must be so proud of you." He smiled

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-FOUR *It's about time I know what the heck is going on! I won't be left in dark anymore*"I do, I think. Why?" Hannah pursed her lips. Janice chuckled. "Everything.... all the horrible things Casanova did to you, Hannah do you think I would make it easy for him huh?" Hannah squinted at her friend dubiously. "Janice, what on earth did you do to Casanova?" "Inconceivable things," Janice muttered fiercely, a devilish grin spreading across her face as she leaned closer. Hannah widened her eyes. "What do you mean?" Janice burst out laughing, seeing the dead expression on her friend's face. Waving it off she said, "Okay, I was just kidding about the past part. But I did do something embarrassing to him. I couldn't help it after everything he did to you." "Okay, what the hell did you do to him? Just say it already! Surely it couldn't be that bad right?" Hannah rolled her eyes at her and shook her head. Janice puffed out a deep breath in resigna

CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED EIGHTY-SIX*The day his once bright, happy life turned black as the night.*Mr Jordan chuckled as he rose to his feet. "It's no big deal. Matt doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut whenever he talks about you. Don't blame him." He waved that off and smiled at her. "I just want you to give him a chance is all and see where it leads. Isn't it about time you settle down? Im not sure I have seen you with any man around lately. Or is there something I need to know?" She gulped. Of course not! No fucking know you would know that your daughter is in love with a horse keeper! She shook her head aggressively. "Of course not! Dad is not like Matt did anything so terrible or anything is just that I don't like his gut and I feel like we aren't compatible." "How can you be so sure?" He asked, drawing close. " You can never know until you tried. I felt that same way towards your mother at some point, I felt she was beneath my league, I underestimated her but when I
