THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS SELF TRAP
Jordan was lying with his back in his room when a slight knock came on the door. He stood up and went to get the door. His hopes crashed the minute he saw the face behind the door. His demons screamed inside, urging him to slam the door in her face. Or perhaps throttle her to death. But he composed himself and repelled all his calls from inside his head.All the same, he was taking too long to respond, so Mariela spoke first. “Hi, Jordan. Sorry for showing up at your door this late and unannounced too. I have some kind of emergency. May I come in?” Mariela asked.“It is late. I don’t think it is a good idea. Can’t it wait until tomorrow?” Jordan asked with neutrality.Torrow? Tomorrow would have been too late, according to her plan. She was cocksure that Ana would look for Jordan the moment she tapped her feet out of her room. That was why she had asked her to speak to Jordan in the morning and not right after their talk. She wanted to have some time that night to talk to Jordan as we
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS HIS PROMISE
“Alright, boys! If we are on one page, you can take your posts around the compound and get ready for tomorrow. We will leave at eleven.” Jordan explained to his battalion of security men that the officer Jordan had just brought. “Major?” He called the one who was introduced to him as their leader.“Yes, boss?” The man answered, bowing slightly to Jordan.“Distribute the firearms to them all. Bring the remainders to the house when you are done.” He said.“Yes, boss!” The major spoke as he called his men to stand around the armory table that was filled with high-quality firearms.Jordan then turned to Officer Adamson. “Thank you once again. I am impressed. They seem exactly like what I expected.” He said.“I am glad you like them. I do not doubt that they will be of great help to you on this mission.” The officer said“I feel the same.” Jordan said just at the same time Ana reached where they were.She took a good, satisfying moment to take in the new guests as they prepared the firearm
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS WHERE HIS TRUST LAY
“Yeah. From ear to ear. What crossed your mind that took away that smile, huh?” She asked.Jordan had expected Ana to show up in her room that morning, but she did not. As they gazed at each other at that moment, he could not see a trace on her face that denoted that she had a problem to solve with him. She seemed normal. So okay. “Won’t you ask me to give you your share?” He finally broke the silence.She wiggled her head once. She seemed to be in the dark. “What? Share of what?” She quizzed.“I heard your conversation with Mariela last night. I expected you to budge in my room this morning and slap me with a thousand demands and threats. Or maybe a court order.” He added.Ana chuckled out so loudly and for a long moment that it left her tearing up. “And you seriously thought I meant all that bullshit? No wait, you actually thought I was that stupid to fall for that woman’s bullshit? Even if that was my plan, why in hell would I entrust my secrets to that crooked witch?” Ana asked. H
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE STRANGE WORRYING GUEST
After a momentaneous moment that seemed too long for the pregnant souls to see who the guest really was, her face finally shone on them as she was ushered in by the major. Their jaws would have dropped to the floor after her face was revealed, but her condition was more appalling than anything else. Her eyes were double their usual size. They were red and sore, like she had wept nonstop for days. She looked messy, from her hair to her dirty clothes. She didn’t look like the woman they both knew.“I will go back to my post, boss. Please excuse me.” The major said this and excused himself.“Good morning, Jordan!” Diana spoke calmly.Jordan did not respond to her greetings. He instead turned to Mariela, who was keen on listening to what was being said. “Leave us!” Jordan spoke.“What? Why?” Mariela snapped. Any tiny bit of information and secrets were crucial to her, however minor they were. Jordan, however, gave her a look that made her realize just how out of place she was. She had no
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS FOR THE SAKE OF HUMANITY
Jordan stood at a distance as he watched her after resting her on the seat. He was still trying to digest what Diana was trying to say. “Do you feel better now?” Jordan asked.Diana shook her head. “I cannot feel any better. I lost the baby, and now Edwin does not want to see me. My mother is nursing broken bones, and I cannot take her to the hospital because my uncle does not want anyone to know what he is doing to us. He does not want to get into trouble, and so we have to do as he says.” Diana explained, tears filling her eyes again.Ana felt pity for her, and so did Jordan. Maybe her uncle had all the rights to take away everything from them and perhaps kick them out if he wanted. But beating them to the point of breaking their bones was so uncalled for. “Was he the reason why you lost your baby?” Ana asked with so much empathy.“Yes. He kicked me in the belly so much, saying that he did not want a bastard in his compound. He also said if I gave birth to a boy, we would use that a
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS UNEXPECTED GUETS
When Diana arrived home, she made her way straight to the living room. The room had become their everything—their sitting room, dining area, and bedroom as well. All the other rooms in the humongous mansion were completely out of bounds for them.Her mother was still lying on the sofa where she had left her. She was unable to speak like the day before. She had a broken leg, a broken hand, and several dislocations. Her face had turned purple from the beatings. Her lower lip was competitively bloated and torn to the point that even the houseflies were sticking to it."Mom," Diana called as she shook her a little to let her know of her arrival. Unfortunately, her mother was not in a condition to speak or even react. Only tears flowed in response to her daughter. Tears filled the eyes of Diana again after seeing her mother’s deteriorating condition.“May I know where you went, you useless woman?” Her uncle asked as he came down from upstairs with a bottle of whisky in his hands. He halted
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE STRANGER ACTING LIKE THE OWNER
Ana, just like Jordan, was swimming in utter sympathy for Diana and her mother. Their situation seemed even worse than Diana had explained to Tyem a while ago. Her mother was the most worried. She looked like she was losing the battle. The pain was taking a toll on her.“I asked who the hell you are." Daniel asked when Jordan failed to speak. Jordan was assessing the room, which seemed so messy compared to its clean-cut signature look. It didn’t look like the tidy room he once knew when he was living with Diana. Well, the house was never peaceful to him, but the aura had become worse. “You monkey! Get these people out of my house. I do not know them. And go with them, because you are fired too! I cannot stay with an incompetent fool like you who allows strangers into my house without my consent.” Daniel barked at the security man.The security man went rashing and stood beside Jordan as he pleaded for his pardon from his boss. “Boss, I am sorry. Please do not fire me, please. They sai
THE RISE OF JORDAN RIVERS THE MAN'S IMPRESSIVENESS
Daniel’s lower part of his face was drenched in his own blood when he finally jerked himself up from the floor. Even the upper part had bleeding marks too, but the lower one seemed to have suffered the most. Actually, he was too scared to stand. He did not want to face another kick or a punch on his almost dismantled face from Jordan. And he was too ashamed to face the faces before him. He was certain that Diana and her mother were basking in the uttermost glee at seeing him being beaten up and humiliated before them. He wished he would never face them again.But they were there, watching it all, and indeed, sure to Daniel’s thoughts, Diana’s smugness could never have been cloaked seeing the man in such a state. It was not like she was even trying to hide it. She wanted her uncle to see just how much she relished watching their tormentor’s downfall. If only her mother had the strength to move a muscle, she would also have joined her daughter in laughing at her brother and mocking him.
