A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 132
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

"Miss Morgan, Miss Morgan, a word.""Miss Morgan, over here.""Ma'am, can we have your attention?"The reporters waiting outside the court swarmed over with their cameras to the elegant lady as she and her legal team walked out of the courtroom.It wasn't new to have people surround her like that. As the youngest female billionaire in America, she was used to reporters crowding around her.Their questions came in from all directions, running from her personal life to her conquests in the business world and requests for interviews.Most times, she'd let her secretary handle the media. With her busy schedules, she barely had time to face them. Add to that, some of their questions toed the line and if anything, she hated anyone trying to pry into her personal life.Everyone knew how nosy the media could get. Those annoying reporters would stop at nothing to get what they wanted and the heavens knew her patience was thin."Never make the mistake of losing your cool before the media. They

"Yes, even if we have to send a dummy investor, make sure I get those shares. ... No, I won't force Ramouth, unless, of course, he's willing... Urgh, never mind, just do what I asked."As she dropped the phone, Veronica sighed. Running other branches of her jewelry company in Asia was not an easy task. Especially with the rise of another company in Malaysia that was a constant competition."Ma'am," her maid peeked in.With a single wave of her hand, she gave the maid permission to gather her used plates.Now that her call was over, Veronica glanced at the television. The news was broadcasting her case with the Sterlings."Not important," she muttered and switched off the television.It wasn't the first time she made such a big conquest yet each time, it struck the world with awe. Her success stunned everyone.Veronica Morgan is a woman who rose out of nowhere but took the business world by storm.She started from a small jewelry company that was in a state of bankruptcy. She bought it

As a new day rolled in, Veronica found herself staring into nothingness.Last night, she barely slept. Her ochlophobia and traumas always resulted in insomnia.In the past, her episodes were not so severe. They began as recurring nightmares of her childhood that haunted her every night.Over time, those nightmares manifested into hallucinations that warped her reality whenever she was in dark places, resulting in very nasty cases of ochlophobia and PTSD. Seeking help from therapists was never an option. With a tight schedule and her stubborn ego, she refused to see one. Besides, opening up about her past with a psychotic father who physically, mentally, and sexually abused her, was not something she wanted to do. She did not want the pain that came with recounting a dark childhood.Subtly, Veronica found ways to deal with her problems. Melatonin and soporifics from the pharmacy worked like a charm. When she wasn't sleeping, her work kept her busy.Her current concern, however, was w

"Thank you, attorney," Veronica beamed with a smile.Finally, some good news. The court approved the transfer of ownership of the White Bay Resort to her name."The lawyers from the other camp have already been instructed to draft the transfer papers. Whenever you're ready, we will meet Sterling Industries and sign the papers," he continued."Do you think that can happen later today?" Her excitement was welling up. She couldn't wait to see Greg's face when she took the multi-million dollar resort from his family."I'm afraid not, Miss Morgan," he declined. "Things like this take up to two days. They need to check and cross-check. We also need our lawyers to examine the papers before we sign them. In case they decide to play dirty or leave loopholes, we need to spot them.""Okay," she gave in. The last thing she wanted was for the Sterlings to gain back the control she was taking from them. If caution took years, so be it. She had enough time on her side."I guess I'll wait for the law

The night was young with an extravagant atmosphere. Many luxury cars filled the parking lot of the San Diego Hotel. Bright lights shone through the night, adding to the luxurious ambiance of tonight's event.Geared up with their cameras, many reporters and journalists flocked into the venue in the hopes of getting news that'd make the headlines. The guards struggled to keep them at bay.Some minutes past eight p.m., a sleek Maybach pulled up to the entrance of the hotel. The driver stepped out and walked to the other side of the car before opening the door.Slowly, long legs extended out of the car, grabbing the attention of the reporters. They rushed to cover this grand entrance.The new guest was certainly the focal point as she stepped out of her car."It's Veronica Morgan!"The usual buzz that erupted whenever she arrived filled the atmosphere instantly.She had arrived at the hall looking more beautiful than any of the females that came in before her.She was wearing a custom han

6.For a few seconds, he held her gaze, Victoria momentarily forgot where she was as she stared back at him.His deep blue eyes were concentrated on her, making her vaguely self aware.It felt so much like he was orchestrating this scenario, pulling her puppet strings and forcing her to look at him even if a part of her brain fought wildly against it.'What are you doing? Look away!' a voice repeatedly yelled in her head.If she kept staring, the arrogant stranger would surely believe that she was interested in him. And judging by the number of females surrounding him, it was no secret that he was used to having women fawn over him.Well, she would not be added to his long chain of lovers and admirers.Veronica snapped her gaze away just as he pulled his glass back. The arrogant stranger was already getting on her nerves and no doubt, he was enjoying this little stunt he pulled.'... Or maybe you're scared of the control he has over you?' a quiet voice asked.It was the first time som

7."I'll start this bid at the price of fifty million dollars..."The hall was silent. Many business men and elites contemplated on whether to buy the invaluable piece of emerald."Weighing 123kg, this emerald has it roots in ancient Luoyang," Ronald continued to give the emerald's history.The rich green colour of the highly transparent gem had a brilliant appeal. It cost a lot more than a high quality diamond of the same carat weight.Add to that, the emerald was carved in the shape of a dragon's eye. Dragons were much believed to bring good luck.The prominent families in the upper social circle sought to own this gem. It would make a perfect addition to their personal treasures, symbolizing power and wealth."Fifty million," a voice called out.A few more socialites voiced out higher figures but none of them were up to seventy million dollars.Quietly, Veronica waited. She wasn't making her bid now until she was sure the other bidders had reached their limits.Unlike many of these

“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
