CHAPTER SEVENTY *She Can't wait to see him in action again. *By the time she returned to the residence it was already 9 am.She had insisted on jogging back to the house. Today was a challenge after all for her! Although, she wanted to take a short stroll to the stables to give a helping hand to Drake in walking the horses but he vehemently refused and insisted she retired to the house and have a proper rest before horse riding with her father. It's been a while since her last horse riding exercise. She's kind of nervous and anxious that she may fuck it up and make a mess. But Drake was sweet enough to reassure her that she would do absolutely just fine."Is that what is getting you so worked up?" he chuckled amusingly."but I can't help it! I haven't been horse riding in ages especially since you vanished. I feel like my childhood trauma of horses is creeping back to me." she whined, pouting her lips like a child.He chuckled, his ocean blue eyes dancing as he reached for her s

CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO *The Scottish sexy Horse keeper! *Roughly ten minutes later, the white-coloured Hilux squealed to a halt, startling the poor horses which were neighing in response, in front of the stables where Drake was already waiting. Momentarily, The passenger's car door flung open, revealing Mr Jordan dressed in brown denim jeans and a polo T-shirt with a white baseball cap. He also wore dark shades and hiking boots. He held his breath as the other passenger's door tugged open. She hopped down with a little difficulty, adjusting her jeans. She wore black denim jeans buckled with a leather belt and a V-neck-shaped polo T-shirt and knee-height dress boots. She pushed the car door closed and came to her father's side and they both held hands while walking towards the stables. In a closer view, he could make out that her blonde hair was pulled back up into a sleek low bun. Thus, accentuating her oval-shaped face. Damn, she looked more breathtaking and absolutely gorgeo

CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR *Focus Drake, Focus! *"I will not take it lightly this time. If any harm comes to my daughter, I will fire you immediately! Is that clear?" his voice was brusque and menacing. His dark shades were still on so Drake couldn't make out his expression. Although he suspected that Mr Jordan would react this way following the horse fall mishap that happened to Janice recently, however, he was a little taken aback by his words. Apparently, Mr Jordan doesn't look like he gave a damn about him playing the hero two weeks ago. His daughter's safety is of paramount importance to him and he's willing to fire him if the need arises. Talk about being hyper-protective! Under normal circumstances, he would have simply walked out without looking back, but he simply can't afford to sabotage his family's plans of revenge. Mr Jordan deserves every bad thing coming to him for all the pain he had caused his family. For his father's untimely death. For his mother's sickness, su

CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX *Blame it on sex deprivation! *They kicked the horses into a slow gait as they cantered down the hilly path overlooking the small waterfall. The beautiful brightly-colored prunus Kanzan trees swayed in the late afternoon, glowing with splendor. The late afternoon breeze wafted over them. Her Dad, Mr. Jordan was ahead of them. She turned to steal a glance at Drake. He was so relaxed on a horse as they rode at a sauntering pace. He was an expert as he held on to the horse's reins with just one powerful hand. Very attractive and charming as he let his free hand run through his messy sandy hair. Sturdy biceps curved beneath the cotton shirt. As he raised his hand, letting it comb through his hair, his sweaty armpit soaking his shirt around that area, escaped into her view before it disappeared from her line of sight as he dropped his hand again. It was not only the armpit areas. The skin on the back of his neck glistened in sweat too. Damn! The sweat ma

CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT *Her eighteenth birthday party*Hailey's flying lead change was seamless and she instantly flipped to the opposite lead, snorting in delight. They moved smoothly and speedily. The wind beat so mercilessly against her face and hair that her bun came undone and as a result, thick strands of rich blonde hair cascaded down her shoulders and teased her face as the wind blew against it, blurring her vision. Shit! Hailey is taking a full bolt and the path they descended unto was rather rocky and uneven, causing her to jerk violently on the horse. She clutched the reins with her all the strength she could muster, fearing for her life and in that instance, her childhood trauma came creeping up on her again. Her heart thumped so loudly against her ribcage that she had to part her mouth to accommodate faster pants. She did not have the strength and stamina to check if she was being followed or trailed by Drake or her father. Her mare took off at an alarming speed.
