A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 17
The time was nine thirty am. Never in her whole life had she had to wait so long for anyone."Urgh! Does he think he's some king who gets to arrive whenever he pleases?" Veronica's tantrums were eating her up. Her day was already ruined because of that Ethan Reynolds.Her schedule was very tight. She had two meetings after this one and a contract signing ceremony with an entertainment company by twelve o'clock pm. There was no time to waste on her side."I bet he was out partying last night. That jerk is a playboy, men like him never do anything right with their evenings!" That conviction was held firmly in her head. Ethan Reynolds was a shameless man, his association with women couldn't be less.The two assistants who followed her could only bow their heads and remain silent. No one dared to speak while she was throwing a tantrum."I am very busy today. I have many meetings to attend yet he uses time like it's some abundant resource. Hah! Ten more minutes and we're leaving-""Leaving

Girlfriend? What the hell was he talking about? Veronica snapped her head up instantly but Ethan's narrowed eyes were focused on Greg.She was not the only one baffled. Gregory who was scared a minute ago felt his chest build up with anger as soon as he heard Ethan's revelation.'She replaced me so soon…' His clenched fists shook uncontrollably as his furious gaze swept over Ethan.From childhood, he had always known that he was very good looking and in later years, the girls swarmed around him, fueling his enormous ego as the most desirable male.Greg was a provincial Don Juan and believed he was irreplaceable in the lives of the women he was involved with.Veronica never paid heed to him in the past and ignored him each time he tried to get close to her. However, Greg was obsessed with her and believed she was smitten by him.Besides, in the whole of the world, he believed he was the only man capable of bringing an arrogant woman like her down to her knees.Even after the scandalous

It was closing time. After making sure everything they needed for tomorrow's meeting with the mayor was set, Evie came into the office to get Veronica."Ma'am?" To her surprise, her boss was by the window eating chocolate bars.Veronica hardly ate candy and Evie was certain she brought none to the office unless…'They came from that box!' The second box was on the desk. It was open and she saw the dark chocolates inside.'She gave away the wine but kept the candy…' Perplexed, she stared at the box, then the woman at the window.The boss did not think twice about giving away an expensive wine gifted to her but she settled for candy when she was not a fan of sweets?'Is she finally developing a crush on someone?' The assistant's thoughts trailed on when Veronica suddenly interrupted her train of thoughts.Before, she had a solemn demeanor but it was suddenly replaced by her usual bossy temperament."Evie, stop blanking out like that. You're not my assistant to stare into the air and day

Other than the consistent ringing of the phone, the atmosphere in the car was very silent.The caller was quite patient. He had been calling for the past ten minutes. It did not seem he would stop now. Evie was concerned and felt pity for him. "Ma'am, shouldn't you pick that up? It could be important."Flipping a page of the magazine in her hand, Veronica looked indifferent. "It's not important." When he got tired, he'd stop calling.Concentrating on the glitzy photos of models was impossible. The memory of Rhian Stanton holding him and planting kisses all over his face constantly played in her head.Irritation built up in her chest for some inexplicable reason. Even if she didn't care what he did with other women, she could not help the distressing feeling in her chest.'Get out of my fucking headspace!' At the moment, the only thing she wanted to do was rip her hair off her head and scream out.The last ring died out. Ethan did not call again. She cast a side glance at the phone and

The car swerved a few times before balancing back on the right lane. A few drivers cursed out at the reckless driver.Veronica's hands shook on the driving wheel. Hearing the loud banging sounds of her fast palpitating heart in her ears while keeping her focus on the road was almost impossible.Driving above speed limits on a busy highway at night after having a few drinks was never a good idea. Add to that, the blazing anger burning inside her.Even though she was already driving at a speed that would be considered an offense against traffic laws, her foot stepped harder on the accelerator.Suddenly, headlights flickered in front of her. Immediately, she swerved to the side and stomped the brakes, bringing the car to an abrupt halt. The truck narrowly missed her.The headlines tomorrow would have reported her death in a ghastly accident because the large vehicle would have crushed her Cadillac Escalade under its gigantic tyres.Narrowly escaping death brought her senses back to her.

Reynolds Enterprises.Colton barged into the conference room. He was very anxious, moving at a fast pace. The people in the room looked up at once. They were displeased by his sudden entrance."Mr. Gallagher," Ethan frowned. This was a private meeting and he issued a stern warning about interruptions. He did not expect his assistant to break the rules first.Realizing his mistake, the assistant bowed respectfully and apologized. However, he had important information for the boss. It was urgent and needed immediate attention. "Sir, I'm sorry but you need to see this."Colton was an efficient assistant, he knew how important this project meeting was to their company. Ethan figured the matter had to be pressing."Forgive me, gentlemen but I have to attend to this," he rose up and bowed respectfully.The business associates did not mind and excused him.Straight after heading out of the door, he demanded, "What is it?"Colton did not speak but rather handed the phone over to him. When th

The press conference was shared by many influencers online and the full clip was uploaded. Everyone saw what truly happened and the tides changed swiftly."Ma'am, look. No one's making negative comments about you," Evie was very excited and showed the phone to Veronica.A new wave of comments hit the internet. No one was slandering her or questioning her reputation."This is all because of Mr. Reynolds' confession. He has been of tremendous help to us," Timothee acknowledged. All it took was one address from the CEO to end the scandal. This situation would have gotten worse if he did not release the full clip to the media.Their PR team was unable to obtain the full video from Sky Lounge because their systems were hacked and the original clip was deleted. Without Ethan's confession, the scandal would continue to escalate and their team would not be able to control the damage.Although he had no idea how Ethan obtained the original video, Timothee was glad he released it.Hearing her s

The mayor's face lit up. Her movement was graceful when she bent over, proffering kisses on his cheeks."Thank you my dear. I am glad that you made it. Look how you lighted the party." He wasn't exaggerating. Her arrival replenished the atmosphere."Is that so?" Veronica feigned surprise. Her gaze swept gently over the hall, taking in the expressions of many guests.Some of them were engaged in pretentious exchange of pleasantries. None of them were genuine, hiding their selfish gains behind their smiles.A few females sent nasty glares at her. Her dress stole all the attention from their luxurious dresses which had eight figure price tags. Also, Veronica's regal appearance was attracting so much attention. She did not have to make any effort to steal glances.They were of high society ranking, young and very beautiful. Yet, she made them feel like commoners at this party, outshining them with her stunning aura and ravishing beauty.The mixed up emotions on their envious faces amused

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
