A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 132
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 1
"Miss Morgan, Miss Morgan, a word.""Miss Morgan, over here.""Ma'am, can we have your attention?"The reporters waiting outside the court swarmed over with their cameras to the elegant lady as she and her legal team walked out of the courtroom.It wasn't new to have people surround her like that. As the youngest female billionaire in America, she was used to reporters crowding around her.Their questions came in from all directions, running from her personal life to her conquests in the business world and requests for interviews.Most times, she'd let her secretary handle the media. With her busy schedules, she barely had time to face them. Add to that, some of their questions toed the line and if anything, she hated anyone trying to pry into her personal life.Everyone knew how nosy the media could get. Those annoying reporters would stop at nothing to get what they wanted and the heavens knew her patience was thin."Never make the mistake of losing your cool before the media. They

"Yes, even if we have to send a dummy investor, make sure I get those shares. ... No, I won't force Ramouth, unless, of course, he's willing... Urgh, never mind, just do what I asked."As she dropped the phone, Veronica sighed. Running other branches of her jewelry company in Asia was not an easy task. Especially with the rise of another company in Malaysia that was a constant competition."Ma'am," her maid peeked in.With a single wave of her hand, she gave the maid permission to gather her used plates.Now that her call was over, Veronica glanced at the television. The news was broadcasting her case with the Sterlings."Not important," she muttered and switched off the television.It wasn't the first time she made such a big conquest yet each time, it struck the world with awe. Her success stunned everyone.Veronica Morgan is a woman who rose out of nowhere but took the business world by storm.She started from a small jewelry company that was in a state of bankruptcy. She bought it
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 3
As a new day rolled in, Veronica found herself staring into nothingness.Last night, she barely slept. Her ochlophobia and traumas always resulted in insomnia.In the past, her episodes were not so severe. They began as recurring nightmares of her childhood that haunted her every night.Over time, those nightmares manifested into hallucinations that warped her reality whenever she was in dark places, resulting in very nasty cases of ochlophobia and PTSD. Seeking help from therapists was never an option. With a tight schedule and her stubborn ego, she refused to see one. Besides, opening up about her past with a psychotic father who physically, mentally, and sexually abused her, was not something she wanted to do. She did not want the pain that came with recounting a dark childhood.Subtly, Veronica found ways to deal with her problems. Melatonin and soporifics from the pharmacy worked like a charm. When she wasn't sleeping, her work kept her busy.Her current concern, however, was w

"Thank you, attorney," Veronica beamed with a smile.Finally, some good news. The court approved the transfer of ownership of the White Bay Resort to her name."The lawyers from the other camp have already been instructed to draft the transfer papers. Whenever you're ready, we will meet Sterling Industries and sign the papers," he continued."Do you think that can happen later today?" Her excitement was welling up. She couldn't wait to see Greg's face when she took the multi-million dollar resort from his family."I'm afraid not, Miss Morgan," he declined. "Things like this take up to two days. They need to check and cross-check. We also need our lawyers to examine the papers before we sign them. In case they decide to play dirty or leave loopholes, we need to spot them.""Okay," she gave in. The last thing she wanted was for the Sterlings to gain back the control she was taking from them. If caution took years, so be it. She had enough time on her side."I guess I'll wait for the law
A DANGEROUS AFFAIR CHAPTER 5
The night was young with an extravagant atmosphere. Many luxury cars filled the parking lot of the San Diego Hotel. Bright lights shone through the night, adding to the luxurious ambiance of tonight's event.Geared up with their cameras, many reporters and journalists flocked into the venue in the hopes of getting news that'd make the headlines. The guards struggled to keep them at bay.Some minutes past eight p.m., a sleek Maybach pulled up to the entrance of the hotel. The driver stepped out and walked to the other side of the car before opening the door.Slowly, long legs extended out of the car, grabbing the attention of the reporters. They rushed to cover this grand entrance.The new guest was certainly the focal point as she stepped out of her car."It's Veronica Morgan!"The usual buzz that erupted whenever she arrived filled the atmosphere instantly.She had arrived at the hall looking more beautiful than any of the females that came in before her.She was wearing a custom han

6.For a few seconds, he held her gaze, Victoria momentarily forgot where she was as she stared back at him.His deep blue eyes were concentrated on her, making her vaguely self aware.It felt so much like he was orchestrating this scenario, pulling her puppet strings and forcing her to look at him even if a part of her brain fought wildly against it.'What are you doing? Look away!' a voice repeatedly yelled in her head.If she kept staring, the arrogant stranger would surely believe that she was interested in him. And judging by the number of females surrounding him, it was no secret that he was used to having women fawn over him.Well, she would not be added to his long chain of lovers and admirers.Veronica snapped her gaze away just as he pulled his glass back. The arrogant stranger was already getting on her nerves and no doubt, he was enjoying this little stunt he pulled.'... Or maybe you're scared of the control he has over you?' a quiet voice asked.It was the first time som

7."I'll start this bid at the price of fifty million dollars..."The hall was silent. Many business men and elites contemplated on whether to buy the invaluable piece of emerald."Weighing 123kg, this emerald has it roots in ancient Luoyang," Ronald continued to give the emerald's history.The rich green colour of the highly transparent gem had a brilliant appeal. It cost a lot more than a high quality diamond of the same carat weight.Add to that, the emerald was carved in the shape of a dragon's eye. Dragons were much believed to bring good luck.The prominent families in the upper social circle sought to own this gem. It would make a perfect addition to their personal treasures, symbolizing power and wealth."Fifty million," a voice called out.A few more socialites voiced out higher figures but none of them were up to seventy million dollars.Quietly, Veronica waited. She wasn't making her bid now until she was sure the other bidders had reached their limits.Unlike many of these
