CHAPTER NINETY *They were all panic-stricken and worried to death*Medical attention?! Wait did he just say medical attention right now? Of course, he fucking did! He has the nerve to say that when in reality he left her all alone and came back too late. "Medical attention? Yeah right. Maybe if you had done a great job, this would not have happened in the first place!" she fumed, glaring her him, and then she looked away. She doesn't want him to see how badly hurt she was. How defenseless. How scared and dejected she was. He puffed out a deep breath, running his hands through his thick black long hair frantically. "Janice, I didn't mean for this to happen. Not on my watch. Believe me. I don't understand why Hailey spooked out like that. At some point, I lost tracks of your horse's footprints on the ground so I got a little off course which explains why I did not come right away." Tears stung at the corner of her eyes. She parted her mouth to inhale, hoping it would h

CHAPTER NINETY-TWO *This was not how they planned it*she was rushed to the nearest hospital in London, St. Anne's Hospital, and as a result, the party had to be cut short. The guests were notified and dismissed. Everyone was troubled about the incident and hoped that she recovered speedily. This was not how they planned it. But life can be so unpredictable that you never know what may happen next. It's like taking the staircase in the dark not having the faintest idea about which stairs will give way and send you tripping down the staircase. It is terrifying knowing that something unanticipated may happen to disrupt your plan. Well, Such is life. And now, the very big birthday bash the Jordans had been plotting for four-five good months had gone down the drain and their daughter is injured as a result. What an irony indeed! But it is what it is.The Hilux squealed to a halt in front of the huge hospital building located in the hub city life of London. One of the most presti

CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR *My whole life is ruined because of a birthday gift!*"What?! what are you saying? That I can't walk?" Janice squealed in shock as tears glittered at the corners of her eyes. The Doctor waved a hand at her to calm her down. Her parents were around trying to comfort her as they attempted to pull her against them. "Don't get me wrong. It's not going to be for long. But for now, yes." He admitted quietly. "Is there anything else we can do doctor? I don't mind the medical expenses. Please spit it out." Mr Jordan turned imploring eyes to the doctor. Doctor Davies shook his head, ruefully. "I'm afraid not.""No way this is happening to me!" wailed Janice as she sobbed. "Oh no don't weep honey. We will take care of you. You will be fine." Mr Jordan muttered to her and stroked her cheek, using the pad of his thumb to wipe out the tears. "Shhhhhh..." crooned Isabella as she held her tight in her arms, kissing her hair. "But doctor... how long will she u

CHAPTER NINETY-SIX *Is this the end for her? *It's been seven years since it happened. On her eighteenth birthday, everything changed and her life never remained the same. She never looked at the horse with that glitter in her eyes again. That sparkling delight and admiration in her eyes were suddenly replaced by fear and trauma darkening her eyes. After that incident that almost took her life but succeeded in rendering her immobile for six weeks. Initially, the doctor had predicted a month , which was four weeks, but sadly enough, four weeks gradually turned to six weeks. Hannah frequently visited her and kept her company in the house, rendering her warm comfort but it couldn't take her nagging pain in her chest, the trauma and terror of the day still maintained a hold in the dim recess in her head. Even till she became a full-fledged adult. Until Drake Hughen came into her life and everything changed. All the horse keepers that had come before him were all the same, incompete

CHAPTER NINETY-EIGHT *this is all her fault! *A chill spiked through her body when his endearing, husky voice registered in her head. She turned slowly and came face to face with him. He is alright! She breathed out in relief but it was short-lived when her eyes locked on the slung, supporting his arm, hung around his neck. Her hazel eyes dilated in shock and alarm she began to sputter. "W-What the hell happened to you!" she shrieked. She touched her throat. Oh, she can speak again. She would be more concerned as to what the actual fuck happened to her but Drake is hurt! And maybe she's the one to be blamed for it. But first, what really happened? His explanation should help clear the air and hopefully, bring her back to her senses. She swallowed thickly. He chuckled. Her spine bristled mildly. Is this supposed to be funny? She's going bunkers for fuck's sake! "He came right just in time to save you from the fall. As a result, his arm was injured. I'm glad you're a
