A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 25
Veronica was an elegant dancer. Her dress swayed with each step she took, adding a gentle allure to her striking demeanor. The men in the crowd were staring at her sexy body.A man of noble upbringing, Ethan had received abundant education on every social etiquette. He was a good dancer, his posture remain fixed and perfect.The two of them moved back and forth. Their movements were in sync, matching each section of the song. All eyes were fixed on them. A beautiful woman and handsome man dancing was a mesmerizing sight."I never knew Miss. Morgan danced so well." She rarely attended parties with an escort and never danced in public. Thus, no one expected the female billionaire CEO would be so graceful and elegant like a professional dancer, flawless with her moves."You're right. She's such a good dancer. And her curvaceous body…. I'll do anything to share my bed with that woman.""Isn't Mr. Reynolds so lucky to dance with her?"Drowned out by the music playing, the dancing pair did

Rhian brought her groupies with her, all high society girls. They did not look as hostile as Rhian, probably just dragged here as backups. 'She cannot face me alone and has to bring her friends along. Pathetic,' Veronica snickered to herself as she fixed a loose strand of hair back into place.She turned and leaned on the sink. A faint smile was on her face when she crossed her arms and stared at them."Miss. Stanton, it's also quite unpleasant meeting you." This was the second time they were meeting but an unspoken feud already existed between them.Veronica would have never had any reason to speak to this woman but it seemed the governor's daughter was intent on crossing her path. She regarded the scornful grimace plastered on the model's face and smiled."And it better not be me that you were referring to, Miss. Stanton." Her voice was gentle but her eyes were cold, fixed on Rhian's pompous face. Then she continued with slight sarcasm in her voice, "because a cute and truthful gir

"Put me down, Mr. Reynolds! I can walk on my own, I don't need your assistance!" The show was already over, she did not require his attention anymore. Veronica fought wildly and tried to jump down from his arms but Ethan resisted and secured her tightly to his body."Would you stop being stubborn? You could hardly stand back there. Do you want me to put you down now?" He asked sharply, his intimidating gaze falling on her, shaking her slightly.For a moment, she was scared but instantly, she regained her nasty look as she gritted her teeth and glared at him. "Put me down, Reynolds! I'm not your girlfriend, put me down!"Her violent struggles amounted to nothing. He was much stronger and was as unyielding as a brick wall. Her light blows felt like the beats of a feather against his chest."Urghhhh! Why must you be so stubborn?"Ethan swept a cold glare at her that immediately silenced her. "Who's really stubborn here, Miss. Morgan?""You bas-" she paused. Loud footsteps were approachin

Nanny Lorene stood by the door and gazed at the downcast figure of the man standing in solemn silence by the window. The atmosphere around him was gloomy as he stared outside. After sighing, she walked to him."Mr. Reynolds,"When he turned, she extended his folded jacket to him. "Thank you for this."Ethan glanced down at the jacket. "How's Veronica?"Nanny sighed. "She's in bed. But she's still in shock, I think. She's been very silent and wouldn't speak to anyone. What happened…"He nodded in understanding. She was very quiet throughout the ride home. The only time he saw her this shaken was that night when those goons tried to kidnap her.However, compared to that night, the encounter with Gregory Sterling was not enough to trigger this kind of reaction. Unless of course…"Miss. Lorene, does Veronica suffer from any cases of PTSD?""Traumas?" Nanny shook her head. "None that I'm aware of."Veronica was a very fierce person with a strong personality. It was impossible to think that

29.The morning came quickly. Nanny was making breakfast when the kitchen door opened."Nanny, coffee." Veronica spoke with her usual commanding tone as she walked in."Veronica?" To her surprise, the young mistress was all dressed up and was holding her phone in one hand, texting someone.Quickly, she dropped the knife and ran to her. "Shouldn't you be in bed? What are you doing here?"Veronica waved her hand, signaling for her to be quiet. Then she placed her phone to her ear. The line connected immediately."Hello, attorney?" She walked forward and leaned on the counter. "Yes, it's time to begin phase three of my takeover. Arrange an emergency meeting with the board members. They need to meet their new CEO."Smiling smugly, she dropped the phone and turned to Nanny Lorene. "Where's my coffee?"Nanny moved to the coffee maker and began to brew fresh coffee. Her movements were slow and reluctant."Veronica, I don't mean to pry but what was that call about? And why are you dressed up?

30.The press had already caught wind of Veronica's take over of Sterling Industries. They stormed the company's HQ with their equipment geared.As soon as James stepped out of the building, the reporters rushed forward with their cameras and surrounded him. His personal bodyguards tried to restrain them from getting close to their boss.The look on his face was terrifying but the reporters were not deterred. They received an anonymous tip and came here in search of news that would make the headlines. Hence, they did not stop following him until he got into his car."Even annoying reporters pester me now!" Infuriated, James picked up his phone and called his son.Gregory was in a good mood. After his conversation with Rhian Stanton last night, he had been elated.They made a plan together on how to take down Veronica and he couldn't wait to execute it. He was going to get a drink at the bar when his phone rang."Dad?" His tone was not welcoming. He was still angry at his father and th

31.Strutting elegantly in her stilettos, exuding an unhurried vibe, Veronica walked into the coffee shop. The meeting with Rhian Stanton was private. She did not bring her assistant with her.Evie did not want to stay at the company while her boss was out meeting Rhian Stanton."Ma'am, that could be a trap. Let me come with you," she had said. But her boss assured her that she'd be alright."I know that this could be a trap," Veronica still had her suspicions. "But I've promised the first lady. So I have to go.""Besides, I don't think Rhian would do anything to me when everyone's aware of our meeting… I'll look after myself and I'll be careful."When Rhian saw her approaching, she stood up. "Miss. Morgan, hi."Veronica gave her a small smile. She sat down and dropped her purse on the table. Rhian recognized the private custom Louis Vuitton design. The price tag was valued close to nine digits.She had seen it some months ago and wanted it but was told it was already ordered by anoth

32.It was very cold, goosebumps appeared on her skin. Veronica shifted. The effects of the drug were wearing off. Moving her head, she grunted and tried her best to open her eyes.'Where is this place?' Darkness engulfed her surrounding. She couldn't make the shape of anything through her blurred vision.However, the material her body was resting on was very soft. Like a mattress. Veronica forced herself up and tried to stand up but she was suddenly pulled back."What the…" Sounds of chains clinking met her ears when she jerked her hands. They were chained to the bed's frames.Chained to the bed in this cold dark room with no source of light was triggering a panic attack. Veronica broke out in cold sweat as her heart started pounding.Shaking uncontrollably, she jerked harder at the chains. Her eyes blinked rapidly as she tried to gain any form of vision.Just then, the sound of heavy footsteps approaching caught her ears. Immediately, her body stiffened.Because she couldn't see, he

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
