A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 78
78.His sharp green eyes held no surprise when he saw her. Right under her cautious watch, he broke into a smooth smile."What's this? 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

79.His jaw connecting with a full upper swing from Veronica's leg, Dante scrambled back with a groan.Grinning widely, Veronica towered over him. "Are you ready to go to jail, Dante?" She asked succinctly with sugar all over her voice.Maybe she was too caught in her victory to even notice or react on time. Her foot was drawn, sending her to the floor, head banging the concrete."Cagna!" Was the growl she heard above the banging noise which was her head hitting the floor repeatedly.Her face met with the hard force of his palm, she was sure his rings were imprinted on her cheeks.Some warm fluid flowed from a crack within her mouth. Yet to recover from the slap, she did not register the metallic taste of blood on her tongue."Do you think you can outsmart me by bringing an army with you?" Dante wrapped his hands around her throat, forcing her to look up despite her reeling head.She was gasping for air while he watched with sickly satisfaction through eyes deeply borne with hatred.O

80.Blinking lights, red and blue, shot through the darkness. Many cars were parked around the theater in Cascades Lane, further straining the serious atmosphere surrounding the area.Even if the wailing of the sirens had reduced, the area was still noisy because of the people clustered together, each trying to get information for their channel.How they found out about the mission was still a mystery but the pressmen showed up instantly with their equipment geared after the shootout.Word travelled fast."What's the status of the matter?""Why aren't we let in? Is it so serious in the theatre?""Officer, was anyone killed? There's so much blood around."Thinking they could milk out some juicy content from the police men standing outside, the reporters flocked to them, bringing their annoying questions along.Getting information was an imperative part of their job. Even when it entailed risks, they had to do whatever they could to gather news.Some of the reporters were already sporti

81.There were little things Ethan could tolerate.As a man who worked really hard, he expected perfection in everything which earned him this hard and cold exterior that intimidated anyone who worked with him.Building an empire and maintaining the family's wealth for many years required intense training. He made a lot of sacrifices along the way to get this far.Taking charge of their empire meant he had to be prepared for everything and anything. Thus, he had to undertake all sorts of training in different parts of the world.Working relentlessly to meet up with his responsibilities as sole heir of the Reynolds family, he was forced to be an adult at an early age of sixteen.From childhood, he was taught to be regal, recognizing his own worth as a Reynolds.Their lineage was filled with remarkable men and women who made important contributions to various significant fields.Owning multiple businesses including wineries, hotels, airlines, hospitals… the Reynolds family was one of th

82."I'm so sorry, Ethan. I did not mean any of what I said. Please don't get mad at me," begging desperately, she only wanted his forgiveness and nothing more.The world could be set on fire but verything should be okay between them. She was wrong. She could not handle it if he hated her.Taken back when his hands fell on hers and unclasped them from his waist, she looked up with shocked, terrified eyes that were almost bulging out of her wet face."Ethan…"Suddenly, the atmosphere went down by many degrees to a chilling temperature. An unsettling feeling came over her as she registered the dark, unnerving aura exuded from his body. She shrank back involuntarily.It seemed the effects of their fight were more toxic than she thought. Ethan wasn't Ethan…Startled when he turned around abruptly, Veronica gasped. The intensity of his gaze made her freeze for a moment before she took a step backwards only to be caught and drawn back.Raising her hand midway in the air, Ethan trapped her i

83.The rain had lessened to drops. Just as the sky rumbled, the people in the commissioner's study walked out."I'm grateful for the information you've given us, Miss. Morgan. It's gonna go a long way in solving the toughest case of two decades. You have no idea how many people you're helping by doing this."It wasn't just those people. She would be doing many countries a favour. Those were the countries that suffered the wrath of The Skull.Face blank, showing no reaction to the commissioner's gratitude, Veronica was silent.Feeling something cold wrap around her hand, she looked down in time to see Ethan clasp her hand before giving a little squeeze.Smiling at the brief act of assurance, she raised her head and nodded at the commissioner.Ignoring the discomfort in her chest, she kept her head high as she spoke. "This is a case of justice. Many victims have suffered for years under his cruelty. It's high time alias' Xerxes pays for all he did."In his many years of serving in the

84."Dad!" Jade burst into their suite. "Where are you? We need to leave right now!""What's going on? Why are you screaming?" Her father wheeled out of the opposite direction. He scrutinized her agitated face carefully and understood that something was gravely wrong."Get ready. We're leaving right now. Some strange men were at the market and I'm sure they were looking for us.""Huh?" Her father followed her movements as she gathered their belongings."What if they're Sir. Diego's men?" Her father suggested. Wasn't it normal for goons to look strange?"They don't work for him," she shot back. "They belong to some other group. I'm sure of that."A message entered her phone. After scrolling through it, she thrust the device into her back pocket."That taxi's already here. Let's go."Meanwhile, the men from the market burst through the entrance of the hotel.Their head brought out his badge and showed the receptionist. "We're the police and we're here for one of your guests."The hotel'

85.Just arriving at the airport, Tim and Samatha ran in just in time to see Jade Yokozuna in handcuffs being guided by the police out of the checkpoint.Right behind them, another officer was wheeling Mariko. The old man was cursing loudly. He was causing a scene that attracted a lot of attention.As soon as Samantha saw Jade, her temper flared up. Pushing past the passengers in front of her, she rushed towards Jade and yanked her hair."You vicious little bitch! How dare you sabotage the company?" She asked, jerking the girl forcefully."Argh! Let me go," Jade was also struggling. The ruthless director was hurting her."Do you still have a mouth to speak? I'll teach you to shut it!" Samantha snapped back, red showing in her eyes.Quickly recovering from Samantha Qian's unexpected onslaught, the police stepped in and drew her back."Let me go! I'll teach that greedy bitch a lesson." At this moment, Samantha forgot her upbringing in the upperclass society. She struggled and kicked wil

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
