All Chapters of A DANGEROUS AFFAIR : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

61.He was holding some colorful balloons that had smiley faces on them in one hand and a bouquet of lilies in the other.Looking immaculate and breathtakingly handsome in his well tailored Italian suit, the balloons did not fit with his imposing appearance.They were alone in the ward. The nurse had finished her morning round and she wasn't sure when Evie would come back.This man could do anything to her and no one would find out. She was sure he had taken preventive measures before coming into the ward.A skilled assassin was very careful and would never leave traces of evidence behind.Frightened to her core, Veronica scrambled up the bed, her back plastering on the bed post like a cornered cat."Wha-what are you- doing here?" Just like her trembling body, her question was a stuttering mess.He looked over her terrified form and smirked ruthlessly. "What else little sister? I'm here for you."Okay, that part was pretty obvious. Which led to the next question, "how did you find me?

63.That familiar voice, deep and sultry.... Reese froze. Goosebumps enveloped her body.Quickly, her head snapped to the man who spoke. Immediately, her eyes widened and she trembled.'Fuck, fuck, fuck! What kind of luck do I have? Of all people, why him!'Tattoos snaked out of his shirt to his neck. Her eyes fell on the familiar phrase tatted on his fingers which gripped the steering wheel.The night at the club, she did not pay enough attention to the full sleeve tattoos on his thick hands.She trailed up from his huge biceps which were larger than her thighs put together to his sharp side profile.Reese was still staring when his voice broke into her ears.Not taking his eyes from the road, Arrow said casually, "nice choice of wardrobe. Doesn't seem like you at all."While the girl at Black Shades And Grey looked reserved and elegant, the one beside him in the car right now looked like someone applying for a job in some stripper club.Well, Reese did not appreciate his tone. She s

65.Veronica fixed a stray strand of hair back into place. Purposely, she avoided his gaze.If she kept quiet, he'll suspect that something happened. But she had an excuse prepared which he would believe."Didn't you hear?" She asked slowly. "A man broke into a ward today and tried to hurt his wife who is a patient here."It was the perfect excuse, even better because she wasn't lying about the story.One of the patients was hospitalized because of domestic abuse from her gangster husband.The paranoid husband saw her with a male colleague and assumed she was cheating on him.When they got home, he confronted her about the affair but she argued back and defended her innocence.Her husband was already a regular abuser. Their argument heated up and resulted into a big fight.He beat her up until she was unconscious. Luckily, one of their neighbors came to her rescue.Before the police could arrest him, the husband got away. For her own safety, the woman was transferred to this facility

67.The cold wind blew, ruffling the trees. Littered on the ground were brown and dried leaves. Just another autumn night in Chicago.Reese rubbed her arms and cursed. It was so cold and the jacket she was wearing wasn't of much help in shielding her from the harsh weather."Is tonight cursed by some witch or what?" She muttered angrily while she trailed up the alley.She just came out of the phone booth at the end of the street. In need of a place to stay for tonight, she called her friends.However, none of them could help her. Not when her brother had gone to each of them in search of his sister.Ivan stationed guards to watch over their houses just in case Reese came over.Why didn't she think her plan through?With all her thoughts focused on escaping, the idea of a place to stay never crossed her mind.Now, she was stranded with no place to go. Add to her troubles the unfriendly winds howling.Looking up, she was greeted by the shining stars illuminating the darkest parts of the

69.Sad, hurt and betrayed. Colton understood his boss's mood perfectly.Ethan valued trust above every other emotion in life. In his eyes, he was capable of protecting his loved ones. No one should hide anything from him. They shouldn't hesitate to tell him about their problems.Hence why he was angry at Veronica. A rift occured between them because she hid important details of her life from him.Their troubles will only grow if they distanced themselves from each other. Each person would suffer in pain for as long as this feud continued.Colton knew he had to be the pacifist and restore their relationship."Sir, don't you think you're being too hard on Miss. Morgan?" He asked tentatively. The best way to go about this was to be gentle and gradual."How dare you accuse me of that? She's the one at fault!" As always, Ethan's volatile temper sparked.In this case, he wasn't in the wrong. Veronica kept secrets from him that were equivalent to life itself.That night, they would have lo
