A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 46
46.At the hospital…Veronica's condition was stabilized after the medical personnels attended to her. Ethan waited outside the ward. He stood up after the doctor came out."Doctor, how is she? And what caused the convulsion? Did she have another seizure?" All his questions poured out in one breath because of his anxiety."She's stable now, Mr. Reynolds," the doctor assured him. "As for the convulsion, it was not caused by a seizure."Handing the test results to Ethan, he continued, "her brain activity suddenly shot up even though it has been low for the last couple of days."Miss. Veronica might be in a coma but her subconscious is awake which means her senses are active. She can listen to conversations and feel everything around her but is unable to react.Ethan looked over the test report. Her vitals signs were all normal but the sudden increase in brain activity occured at the same time that she began convulsing."Since we cannot attribute the sudden convulsion to medical causes,

47.A week passed swiftly.In a room filled with colorful balloons and beautiful plush toys, a nurse finished her morning round and left.After showing improvements in her health, Veronica did not need life support anymore so she was transferred to a private ward.Sitted on a sofa in one side of the room with her laptop placed on her lap, Evie was working.Her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, replying emails, sending instructions and messages. Just then, her phone rang.Quickly, she picked up, speaking with her usual bubbly tone. "Hey Tim. What's up?"As Veronica's secretary, Timothee Fangshire was handling the company's affairs on her behalf. He kept the personal assistant informed of every development."Have you seen the recent reports from the stock market?" His tone was hard "The price of our shares have dropped! Platinum Sea is leading the international market in the supply of pearls and corals. Qui Vive is now at number five!"Their spot has always been at the top, leadi

48.Eighteen hours ago…'Clink… Clink,' the sound of water dripping from a broken pipe in the cell breaking the silence monetarily.The only source of light was the sun rays coming in from the very high window. At this time of the day, it was dark.Sitting on the floor, barely breathing, hands cuffed to the bar behind him, Dizon had a dead expression on his face.His blood dried beside him, staining the floor black. Around him, the stench of blood, dirt and rotting elements hung, polluting the air.Arrow stood outside the cell with his hands arms crossed. His lips curled up at the sight of the unconscious man."Boss, it's been four days. If we don't do something, he's gonna die," the guard next to him voiced out his concern.Looking at the pathetic condition of their prisoner, he wondered how the man was still alive despite the loss of blood and starvation.Arrow gave him a bored look. "If he's tough enough to withhold information for so long, I'm sure he'll survive." His lip twisted

49.Unable to speak or move, that was Veronica's situation. The effects of a brain injury."In a few days, Miss. Morgan will have to undergo physical therapy so she can improve her motor skills and stimulate brain function.""The paralysis is temporary. With time, she will heal. But she'll need everyone's support and help on this journey. All of you should be here for her."Health was deeply connected with emotions. As such, a patient should feel loved and cared for and a speedy recovery would follow.Ethan glanced at Veronica. She was sleeping peacefully. After waking up, from her coma, she fell back to sleep."Okay, doctor. Thank you."The doctor quietly left and the ward was completely silent. Left alone with her, he gently brushed the hair from her forehead.A short rasp sounded on the door. Evie walked in after getting a, "come in".She stood respectfully by his side. "Mr. Ethan,"Lifelessly staring, his hand remained on Veronica's face, softly caressing."She'll undergo physioth

50.1:04 AM.After sleeping for a whole day, Veronica's eyelids moved gently. Slowly, she opened her eyes.Lifelessly, she stared at the white ceiling for a long time. Her head hurt so badly and her throat was parched and felt itchy.A low breathing noise caught her ears. Alarmed, she turned her head to the side. Just then, her gaze fell on a mass of inky black hair resting on the bed beside her.Ethan.He was sleeping soundly beside her. Moving his head a bit, his face came into view looking tired and stressed.Indescribable joy filled her heart. She did not think she'd see his lovely face again.With long lashes adorning his closed eyes that looked affectionate while he slept and a face so chiselled and perfect… He was so gorgeous.A few strands of hair were pressed to his forehead and some stubbles were growing under his chin.So messy but just as alluring, she thought.Sensing a strong gaze on his face, Ethan roused from sleep. His lids moved slowly before opening, revealing weak

51."Sir, young master is here," the butler stood respectfully by the door.Dante barely lifted his head when a loud boisterous voice boomed in the hallway."Father, I'm home!"A young man sauntered into the drawing room. His aura was careless but grand at the same time.A frivolous smile on his face, blond hair combed to the side and a neatly trimmed beard, Diego Guillermo had the charm and charisma of a rebel prince."Yikes," he stopped by the door. His expression soured. "Geez, old man. Do you need a doctor to tell you cigarettes are bad for your health?"After releasing a puff of smoke, Dante stumped the cigarette butt on the ashtray. "Your old man is as strong as ever. A few cigarettes won't kill this stallion if bullets did not.""Stallion?" Diego laughed. "Skull. Isn't it?"Suddenly, both men burst into laughter.Dante stood up with his arms stretched out. "Come here, my boy."After a hug and a few pats on the back, they sat down. On cue, a maid brought a second glass. She pour

52."You sold us a couple of mock-ups!""Do you really think you can con us because of your reputation?!""Veronica Morgan, show yourself! Don't hide away from us!""Rip-offs! Let's see how your business survives after this case reaches the court!"A crowd gathered outside Qui Vive Pearls, Japan building. Raising placards and posters, they staged an angry protest.The guards outside the company tried to keep them at bay by setting up barricades."This is live, ma'am. What will we do?" Evie glanced at her.Veronica's gaze did not move from the laptop. She rubbed her finger on her lip for a while, silently thinking."Ma'am, the situation may escalate. They won't listen to me. They only want you."The customers refused to speak to any employee from Qui Vive Group, demanding for Veronica Morgan instead."That's expected," she said calmly. "If they want an address, they'll get one."Outside the building, the protesters were getting violent. A few of them were hired to cause havoc and ruin

53.The land was located outside the city, near the great river. A good spot for a five star resort.Colton drove on the highway. He took a few turns before switching to the road that led to the river.In the backseat, Ethan was watching the news. Veronica's broadcast was played.With her exquisite features, she exuded a sophisticated vibe. Her public relations skills were very impressive.According to the reporter, Qui Vive Group of Industries called for a press conference and it would happen later in the day.He had been busy and never realized her company was facing a few problems.Her employees did not tell him else, he would have easily taken care of the problem."Miss. Morgan handled this matter smoothly. Not many people can come up with a rational proposal."Ethan raised his eyes and met Colton's gaze in the mirror. "Yet it wouldn't have hurt if she asked for help."He was hurt and slightly upset. Seeing the gloomy change in his expression, Colton smiled gently."Sir, we all kn

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
