70.

Veronica's hands trembled, she almost lost her grip on the phone.

How did he get her number?

She was trying hard to pull herself together when the phone began ringing, causing her to almost jump out of her skin.

Seeing the caller ID, her heart pounded violently.

Her hand was shuddering, great fear in her heart but she told herself to calm down.

The man would hang up after some time. All she had to do was wait.

The ringtone reverberated in the silent ward until the response time out. Veronica just sat there, waiting for the call to cut.

A sigh of relief barely left her when the phone screen lit up again. The man calling wouldn't give up.

He had enough time in the world and he didn't mind sparing some of it on her.

Anger filled her. Why on earth should she be scared of him?

He was somewhere, having a great time while she was panicking over here. Veronica sneered.

Swiping the phone screen with her fingertips, "Fucking swine! Can't you leave me alone or what?!" She spat into the phone

    71."Didn't I warn you against stepping foot in this room?"'Damn!'Reese flinched. How dumb was she to abandon caution and relax instead of constantly looking out for him?As always, her easily distracted mind was to be blamed.With her attention hooked on this obscure book, she did not hear his footsteps or feel his presence as he approached the room.The book fell back to the table with a loud noise. Quickly, she turned around, batting her lashes nervously."Uhm, I'm sorry. I forgot the color of the door and I-"Before she could complete her sentence, Arrow jerked her arm violently and dragged her out of the room.Her steps were not coordinated, she almost tripped."Hey, can you be gentle in the least?" She protested while trying to get her hand off his tight grip."Not to someone who cannot obey simple orders!" Arrow shot back.Stunned at this side of him, Reese paled. But just as suddenly, her temper was sparked."Let me go, jerk. I told you I forgot the color of the door. It's n

    72.She did not have time to look through the book but her mind insisted that there were deep secrets hidden inside it.Unless she found out what information that book contained exactly and how it related to her brother, her mind would not be at peace.Instead of lifting his gaze to her, Arrow continued eating, acting like he did not hear her.Now she knew he was pretending. But ignoring her won't change the subject."Hey, I said something. What's that book and why does it have that symbol on its cover?"After another round of silence, Reese was upset. She frowned wondering what this man was up to.But right when she was about to rant about his rude attitude, Arrow spoke up, voice calm and unbothered."What's on and inside that book is not your business, Reese. Just be quiet and eat."Reese gritted her teeth. Clenching her fork, she glared at him. Who did he think he was to dictate what she did and what she couldn't?"Yes it is my business.

    73.It was silent in the car. Reese was in the front seat beside the driver while Arrow and another man were in the back seat.The man was trying to control his bleeding before they got to a doctor.In front of them, the other vehicles made a line, speeding out of the city."Boss, maybe we should stop at the hospital. You've lost so much blood.""There's no need," Arrow stopped him. He glanced at the woman sitting in the front seat. She appeared to be lost in thoughts."We'll head back to New York." Once back in their territory, they would be safe and receive the medical care.So long they remained in Chicago, the enemies might catch up and attack them again."How about this woman? Are we bringing her with us, Arrow? You saw that man, he knows her."He looked at Reese again. One of the enemies knew her. His men who witnessed it were worried that she might be a spy.Even if she wasn't a spy, Reese was still a threat to their group. Until they confirmed her relationship to that man, the

    74."Are you saying Reese went with them? That's not possible! The girl you saw wasn't Reese!"Unfortunately, Lucio wasn't lying.He was just as shocked when Reese jumped into their car.Even after he called her, she chose to leave with their enemies."Unless it was kidnap..." Ivan was not willing to believe Lucio's story unless when taking it from a new perspective.Nonetheless, he chose the most suitable reason which was compatible with his thoughts."How dare those bastards kidnap my sister? Do they intend to use her against me?!" Ivan never thought Ethan would settle for a dirty old trick.Gone was the upright Ethan Reynolds he was familiar with.'His men must have kidnapped my sister at the airport and taken her to their hideout.'With each second that passed, the story he made up in his head became more concrete.The facts did not matter. Rather, it was what he wanted to believe in.But of course, what he created in his mind wasn't the truth. Lucio saw was a very different scena

    75."Ouch!" Her butt hit the hard floor, making her yelp out in pain."The fuck pushes doors like that? What if someone was behind the door?" Just like she had been right now?Muttering aloud in frustration, Reese only focused on the person's carelessness and not her own faults."Yeah, like I'm psyche to know who's behind the door."Cut off guard by the heavy accented voice, her eyes flew up, colliding with Arrow's nasty sneer."And I'm guessing you forgot the direction to your room again."Shirtless, he had a bandage wrapped around his arm and shoulder. At least he was fine, relief washed over her.But squinting at him from this angle made him seem taller than usual. Reese hurriedly stood up and flattened her hands over her butt."Don't be sarcastic. That's not what happened."Looking over her frown, he snickered. "Then maybe you're becoming an expert at intrusion. You complained that I was violating your rights this morning but it's cool how you break into other people's rooms?"Dum

I can't do anything right," another slap."I'm such bad luck, only bringing trouble to the people around me." Slap!Her face turned slightly red, showing imprints. The burn on her palms showed how much strength she was putting into slapping herself."All those people Ivan killed because of me… I'm such a monster.""I'm so useless that I can't even stop Ivan-""What are you doing?" He caught her hand before she could hit herself again. At this point, his emotions were riled up by her actions, he was very angry with her.Reese pushed him back. "Leave me alone. My brother won't stop hurting people and I can't stop him. I should be punished."When her wrists were caught in the air, she gasped. Arrow pulled her. Not expecting his sudden action, her heart jumped to her throat.All he wanted to do was make her understand the problems they would face because of her mistakes.He did not expect she would r

She had a solemn aura when she walked out of the car. She looked like someone who lost everything they cherished.Dante could still not believe how much she had changed.While he advanced, he studied her face properly. Surprisingly, Diego did not exaggerate her beauty one bit.Instead, what he described was even an understatement for the looks of the girl rooted to the ground some meters away from their father.She was petrified by his presence, it registered to Dante. Pupils dilated, she was as pale as someone who saw a ghost.This was the type of reaction he wanted to see from her. A terrified and vulnerable state that expressed how truly weak she was as compared to him.Women should always be like this. Maybe, they would learn their place more easily."Perché sembra che tu abbia visto un fantasma?" He ask

What do you think you're doing, Ginevra?"Was he blind or did he simply not want to believe what he was seeing? That a woman was aiming a gun at him?Readjusting her aim, Veronica snarled, "exactly what I said. I'm here to take you down, Dante!"Hands placed behind his back, he began to approach her, the low thuds of his boots clicking against the floor.Despite holding the weapon, she slithered back by one step. "Stay back. I won't hesitate to shoot, Dante.""Oh really?" A mocking smile rested on his calm face. "Yet you're taking so long to pull the trigger. Not to mention how your hands are shaking over that gun you're holding."Seeking to drive his point through, he switched to Italian. "Tu ed io sappiamo che non puoi sparare con quella pistola. Mettilo giù adesso. Non metterti in imbarazzo." (You and I know that you cannot shoot that gun. Put it do

    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

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?”

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.

    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.

    “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.
