A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 83
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

86.The car stopped in front of Qui Vive Group main building.Eyes closed, Veronica was resting. There were many thoughts going through her mind after the serious meeting with the commissioner and the special task force.Ethan had to attend to an important issue at his own company. She headed straight to her company after he left."Ma'am, we're here."Lifting her eyelids slowly, she met Gaston's eyes in the rearview mirror. Outside, was the iconic building known as Qui Vive HQ.One of the security men came down to open the car door. Following closely behind him was Evie Young."Welcome back, ma'am," she bade cheerfully while receiving Veronica's bag.Rolling her eyes, Veronica stepped down. "You're so jittery when it's not even noon yet," she said with sarcasm.Ignoring her boss's sour mood, Evie countered with a smile, "well, it's a beautiful day after the rain last night. Of course I'm happy."Or maybe her assistant was made of candy and sweets. After all, Veronica always thought th

87.'That bastard! How dare him?' But knowing the kind of loyalty he had to their father, it was not surprising that Diego was the mastermind behind her company's sabotage."Ma'am, I've told you the truth. Please leave my dad alone." From the start, Mariko was Jade's only concern.She was willing to go against a powerful mafia leader like Diego Guillermo so long her father's safety was guaranteed.Desperate eyes pleaded with Veronica. "You promised my father will be safe. Don't go back on your word, Miss. Morgan."Meeting the girls helpless gaze, Veronica's heart clenched.She never had a tight bond with her father. And it hurt more than it should.Like always, she was careful and did not let her true emotions show. What Jade saw was a cold, unreadable tycoon.Sharp spears formed in Veronica's irises. Jade shivered when she collided with the piercing gaze enveloping her."I always keep my words, Miss. Yokozuna. Your dad would be transferred to a safe house and he'll remain there until

88.Present day.The clicking of heels resounded through the tiled corridor. Wearing a customized pink suit that screamed expense, her blonde hair held up in a bun on the top of her head, Veronica walked ahead, exuding a cool composure and professionalism.She was flawlessly gorgeous in the business attire, at the same time striking a serious temperament.Successfully hidden under her makeup were the few bruises she sustained during the fight with Dante Guillermo.The officers guarding the cell unlocked the door when she came in. None of them said a word. They just nodded in polite acknowledgement of her presence and let her into the private cell.Raising his head when he heard the door swing open, Diego met her stern face. Eventually, a smile broke out on his face."Ikai, how unexpected," he feigned surprise before smiling sweetly at her. "Why didn't you call before coming? It's messy here and I could've done some cleaning before you arrived."Done with the little mockery, he crossed

89."Me?" Diego was genuinely shocked but he played it cool and fixed a cold smile on her. "Whatever do you need me for?""Testify against dad for me!" If desperation didn't overwhelm her, she would never have blurted that out. And no, she did not appreciate how weak her tone sounded while saying that.However, desperate times required desperate measures. The formerly dominant CEO who etched fear on the hearts of others was reduced to a helpless woman in front of her much hated brother.For a moment, the place was silent. Diego seemed like he was hit by a bolt of lightning. His silence was scary.Slowly, he withdrew from her. Then carefully, he looked over her face. After finding whatever he was looking for, he laughed but it was an empty humourless sound."Are you kidding me? Do you really expect me to help you take down our father?" She knew where his loyalty lied so why bother?Shaking his head with disbelief, he turned his back on her and began walking away. "You're quite a dreame

90.The outcome of the introduction was a quick meeting with Arrow.Veronica drew him to aside to speak to him. Standing some meters away from Reese, the trio talked or rather, argued."What do you mean Ivan's sister is gonna help me? What does she know? She's just a kid!" An exasperated Veronica fiercely whispered.The girl looked like she just left high school. How could their hope be a girl who's barely an adult?Arms crossed, Arrow's face appeared sour. His lips were pressed into a thin line as he was upset that she thought this meeting was a waste of time."Except she knows more than half of the witnesses you'll get. If she didn't have useful information, I wouldn't have brought her here, Miss. Morgan," he uttered coldly.Considering how risky it was, they wouldn't have left the mansion. Besides, was it easy to decide you wanted to serve as a witness in a case?"Oh really? Correct me if I'm wrong. That young lady has spent the last five years in Europe. Suddenly, she's back in th

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
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 131
“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?”
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 130
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
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 127
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
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 125
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
