Veronica looked at him from his head to his toe, it was as if he was speaking gibberish. “I understand your point, but throwing the investigation aside is what I can't do,” she said to him.Ethan sighed. He saw she wasn't understanding him. “Understand things clearly! I am not saying you shouldn't investigate, I am just asking you to pause it for some days so you could regain your sanity. Imagine, just imagine, you go after your father and maybe chance you strangled him. Have you gotten the justice your mother deserves,” he said to her and made her see reasons she ought to calm her nerves.“What do I do then!” Veronica's eyes reddened. Giving it a pause was like wiping the whole justice off.“It's quite simple. Rest at home for a few days before going out for more investigations. If you think too much of your father, your sense of judgment will be crowded and everything you would be seeing will always be about your father,” he said to her.Veronica nodded her head. She understood his
“Yes! It will be and I hope I bring something tangible out of everything,” Veronica said to him.“Okay!”Few minutes later, Ethan said, “Baby! I would like to start going now,” he informed her.Veronica looked at his face. “Where are you going to?” She asked him, because she had expected he would be done with his work or suspended till the next day.“I have unfinished work, baby! You know I said I had to rush down here the other time,” he explained to her.Veronica sighed. “Okay!” She responded. She had erased her mind. Anything he loves, he should do.“Are you okay if I go now?” He asked her.“It's all a choice. You can go, I don't have anything against it,” he said to him.“Okay…!” He responded with skepticism. He was surprised at the sudden twist of her to give after he had been hammering on going. Suddenly, she no longer has a problem with it. Suddenly, it was his choice.Veronica squeezed herself to a certain position on the bed. She brought out her phone, and she began to check
Margaret felt insulted. She dropped the food in her hand.Veronica saw how her countenance swing but she wasn't moved in any way. “That place you dropped the plate wasn't where it was earlier. Pack everything to the kitchen, then you can take your leave,” she said to her.Margaret was surprised. She cleared her throat and snuffed out some air from her nostrils. She packed the plate and headed to the kitchen, dumping it there, she walked back to where she was earlier.“I blame myself for coming here Veronica, I would never come here again,” she shot at her.Instead of Veronica to flinch. She looked at her. “I know you didn't wash my plate, go back and wash it. Then you can take your leave,” she said to her.That was a big insult that cut through her nerves. She grinded her teeth one to another. Margaret walked to the kitchen again. She cleaned the plates and returned.“I have cleaned everything!” She said harshly.Veronica exhaled. “Okay! Bye,” she said to her.Margaret angrily went o
Veronica was caught between two choices. Either to allow or not to allow, which were all depended on her.Now, to make a decision she had to consider different factors and so many underlying factors making his behavior a prime suspect.Veronica gave it a lot of thought and so, she decided to help him. “You sounded genuine and it wouldn't be difficult if I stretch a helping hand to a friend,” she said to him.Alessandra was happy. “Thank you so much, I know I can count on you,” he said with excitement.Veronica glanced at him. “Don't be thankful already, I have a few rules you will have to abide by during the period,” she said to him.“Okay!” Alessandra replied to her.“Before I continue, how many days or weeks or months will you be staying?” She asked him.“That is the most difficult part of it all. I can't decide that. Leaving this place depends solely on when I see an apartment which can take a longer or shorter period of time,” he said to her.Veronica exhaled aloud. She gave it an
“Miss Veronica, the daughter of Mr Morgan. Nice to meet you!” He said after he made the U-turn.A flash appeared on Veronica's face more like a shock overwhelmed her. She stalled on his face for a moment, before she managed to control herself from the moment of shock.“Surprised to see me?” He said aloud even though he didn't know how she was from Adam.“Who are you?” Surprised, Veronica finally asked him.“You don't need to know me, Miss Veronica. I am here for you,” he said to her.Veronica breathed out. She looked at his face. “Okay, let's get to the point. Why did you call me here?” She asked him.He looked at her. “Follow me!” he said to her. Veronica looked at her. “Why should I follow you?” she asked him.“Because you came here because of me. So, you will have to obey me,” he said to her.“Don't act funny, Mr nobody! What is the information you said you have,” Veronica said to him.“If you don't follow me, I am not going to give you the information and if you think you are goi
He brought out his phone and then he placed a call across. “Hello, Mr Morgan!” He said to him.“Hello, is the work done,” he asked him.“The work is done, sir! Where should I bring the package?” He asked him.“I will text you the address immediately,” he said to him.“Okay!” He hanged the phone.Minutes later, the driver's phone made a beeping sound. He swirled his eyes and checked it at once. “Good!” His face hovered with a dark smile.He drove through the distance.Several minutes later, he arrived at the location. He packed the car and immediately, 4 boys came out from the building. They helped drag the lady out of the car.“Do the needful before she wakes up. The lady looked strong. And also, this! I guess it is the evidence she has gathered so far,” he said to the 4 boys. They collected the evidences and they bundled her in.On getting inside, they had to tie her hands and legs and also plaster her mouth.Then the leader's phone started ringing, he picked up the phone at once.
Teddy understood everything he said but he was confused about one thing. “Wait. Mr!” He faced Alessandra.“When did she go out? Since you are staying with her,” he said to her.Alessandra sighed. “The problem is she didn't tell me anything. I woke up yesterday morning to see she was not at home. She even locked her room,” he explained things.Teddy faced Ethan, “what do you suggest we do now?” He asked him.Ethan faced him, “I want you to help me track her phone,” he said to him.Teddy sighed. “Only if her phone is available can she be tracked but I will try my best to see if her phone would be available. Firstly, I will send her a message, if my system alerts me that she sees it, then we can continue,” he said to him.Ethan nodded his head. “Okay. I think we should get to it straight away,” he said to him.Teddy nodded his head. “Yes! I will be on it right away. Hope you are with her phone number?” He asked him.Ethan nodded his head in response. “Be fast with it!” He hastened him.“
Alessandra wanted to tell back, but he realized that wouldn't work. The both of them were more like a stranded individual. It won't make sense if they continue to yell at themselves.He exhaled audibly. “Bro! I don't think taking out your anger on me is going to be the best idea for you and I. So, I think we should at least stick together as we did the other time,” he said to him.Ethan watched him spue words out of his mouth. “This is not just about us! It is about her. I mean…. How do we get to ever see her again? Now, this God forsakened app creators are not fucking around. What are we going to do,” he almost started yelling again. “Just calm your nerves! I know this is not easy and it would be very kind for you to start taking out your anger on another person but I would say it is not the best idea. So, please don't do it,” he said to him.Ethan glanced at him. He wanted to talk but he controlled his speech.Ethan was frustrated and tired of it all. It was as if his world came c
Ethan's phone began to ring aloud. He opened his eyes from a short sleep. “Who is calling?” He thought in his head. He checked it and he saw it was an unknown number.“It could be my investigator!” He thought in his head and immediately, he picked up the call.“Hello!” He said, expecting the recipient to start speaking.“Hello, Mr Ethan. I have all the evidence that Mr Morgan was the person that killed his wife!” He said to him.Ethan was excited, because that was good news. “Where should I meet you to get the evidence?” He asked him.He sighed. “Sir! Meet me at Grace broadcasting station,” he said to him.Ethan was taken aback by his words. “Why that place?” He asked him.“I do not have much time to explain things. There is a change of plan and to make Mr Morgan pay that is the only way we can do it. He is too connected to be reported to the police,” he said to him.“Okay! I understand you.”He ended the call right away.Ethan sat down in dismay. He was in thoughts as to what to do
“Damn!” Trish expressed his in-depth stress.“Sir! Won't you mind going home now?” He asked him.Trish took a look at him. “You are right. I was wondering if I could finish with this, but I am very much exhausted. I need to get going,” he said to him.“That would be better for your well-being,” he said.Trish widened his eyes. He left his company in the evening and he entered the car. Driving through the arduous distance, he got home. He stepped down from his car and walked to his apartment. He checked his pocket to bring out his keys but he couldn't find it.“Where is my key? Did I forget it at work?” He started panicking.While he was in the middle of this, he heard a loud cough from behind him. He shook even to his feet. He wasn't expecting such an intrusion and that was what scared him, because the person was so close to him.He turned to see who it was. Glancing at his face down his body, he didn't recognize him.“Who are you by the way? And why did you barge on me like that?”
Morgan opened his eyes after a very long sleep. He looked sideways, he saw the light had brightened the surface. He raised his head and grinded his teeth.“Now is the time to take my daughter down! Just like I killed her mother. I need to shut her light and put her out of the game before she becomes my total headache,” he thought in his head.Morgan hadn't in his life feared before until now. A lot had happened.He felt he was being monitored by someone, but he didn't know until it turned out they were his past foes and enemies.Morgan's phone started ringing out. “Hello! Who is this?” Morgan strained out. He was expecting someone he had commissioned to a task.“You have 3 more days, Morgan. If not, things wouldn't go easy with you,” the caller threatened him.Morgan's illegal cartel was in danger. His deals had been affected greatly and it had caused sloppy growth for his company.This didn't affect only his company but it affects everything that had to do with him.Morgan stepped do
“My father's name is….” She called his full name, with the address of his house and the places he visits often.She unlocked her phone and showed him his picture. “This is how he looks. Let me send it to your phone,” she said to him.“Okay!” He brought out his phone and collected it from her.Back to Ethan. “For this job, I will pay you a million dollars. But now, I will give half payment when you are done, I will pay you the rest. Do we have an understanding?” He asked him.“Yes, sir!” He replied at once. “If you are going to call, Message or hold a physical meeting… for calls and messages, use a private unknown number so it can't be traced easily. For private meetings, come in disguise so you won't be followed,” Ethan explained all his rules to him.“Consider it done, sir!” He said to him.“Good! your account number, please,” he said to him.Without further ado, he told him his account number and boom, Ethan had the money transferred at once.“I have transferred the money,” he said
Ethan exhaled. He walked up to his clothings and wore them. Just then, Veronica's phone started ringing.“Baby! Your phone is ringing,” he alerted Veronica.“Help me bring it,” Veronica gave a loud shout from within.Ethan picked up the phone. He didn't look at his face. He went to the bathroom and gave it to her. But he stylishly swayed his eyes not to see her body.“Thank you!” Veronica said after she collected the phone from him. Checking the person calling, she discovered it was the man they had called early yesterday.“Baby! It is the same man that wasn't picking yesternight,” she informed him.“Huh! Let me pick It then,” he said and immediately collected the phone from her. He picked the call.“Hello!” He said with a loud voice.“Hello, this is Baldwin, a private investigator,” he replied.“Yes, Mr Baldwin. This is Ethan. I exhausted my call card over there. Can we see this morning?” He asked.Mr Baldwin halted. He thought about it for a while. He looked through all his schedule
The both of them walked into the hotel. “Good evening?” Ethan said to the reception.“Good evening. How can we help you?” The receptionist asked him.Ethan exhaled and swallowed the saliva in his mouth. “I want a room,” he said to her.“Oh. Okay. A room! What type of room? Or just any room would do?” She asked so she could know their specifications.“Not any room! We need a classic room at least in the average with a minimum night pay,” he explained to her.The reception checked the room available quickly. “Okay, the only average room available is room 40 and it's going for just three hundred dollars per night,” she said to him.Ethan looked at Veronica. It was a nice price. They realized they could actually stay there for days.“Okay! I will be staying here. Can I have my room key already?” he asked her.“Okay! When you are checking out tomorrow, will you pay?” She asked him.Ethan looked at her and he wondered if something urgent happened that required them running, so, he made the
Ethan got there, “I was asked to make payment of three hundred dollars here, this is my card,” he extended it to them.“Okay!” One of them collected it. He deducted the money at once. When he was at the door, he collected the receipt from him.Ethan walked up to him, he slammed the receipt on his hand. “That is your receipt. Start my work, please,” he said to her.“Okay!” The man folded the receipt into his pocket. He started repainting the car.Ethan went directly to Veronica. He exhaled. “I know you are angry, Ethan! Calm your nerves, it's not worth it to be angry here,” she said to him.Ethan sighed. “The man is actually a ridiculous one. Telling us to pay when he hadn't even touched the car. I promise to bash him if he doesn't paint the car well,” he said to her.Veronica glanced at her. “It's better you stop getting angry unnecessarily, my dear. Look at how he is doing it. I bet he can't make a single mistake,” she said to him.Ethan was taken aback by her words. “Whose side are
Ethan noticed a slight panic in her voice. “Don't panic, baby! We'll be fine!” He said to her.Veronica glanced at him. “I am not panicking. I am just wondering if you have a solution to this problem?” She asked him.Ethan glared at her but he quickly faced the road. “Anyways! Do you have a solution, cause I don't,” he said to her.Veronica licked her teeth. “Okay! The solution to this is to drive to a location we are not going to!” She said to him.Ethan sighed. He was left unsatisfied. That wasn't the solution he was looking out for. “I don't think changing location or route would be the best thing to do,” he said to her.Veronica was surprised. “Why did you say that? This car is practically following us!” She alarmed. Her voice was filled with an air of distrust.Ethan sighed. “I know you don't trust me, but you will have to do this. I know the best thing to do here. This is the best opportunity for us to get evidence against Morgan. Why don't you bring out your phone and take pic
“Are you expecting someone?” Veronica asked him, considering his facial expression.“Huh!” “No, I am not expecting anyone,” he said to her.Veronica exhaled. “Let me check the door!” She stood on her feet and walked forward.Ethan was at watch. He wanted to see the outcome.“Who is there?” Veronica asked immediately as she reached for the door.“It's the room service, mam!” She said to her.Veronica was quite surprised. “No one called the room service. Why are they here?” She has it in mind that there would be an ulterior motive to it all.“We did not call the room service. Why are you here then?” She asked her.“I brought your food. You are in a classic hotel. You don't need to order, we know what to do,” she said aloud.“Wow!” That word came out of her lips involuntarily. She was taken aback by that statement of hers.She opened the door immediately.“Good morning, mam!” She greeted her.Veronica glanced at her. Right in front of her was a young, adorable lady. She held a long tray
