All Chapters of A DANGEROUS AFFAIR : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

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. You have a mini sort of arsenal in this cond

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

76."I'm so stupid," she said, delivering another smack to her other cheek."I'm so dumb. 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

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

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
