My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 134: New Hurdle

After getting in touch with them, Bill realized they are nice people and they too expressed their interest in taking care of their nephew. They were indeed good people so Bill let them take Edwin but before he left, Bill told him to contact him, if guns are something that interests him as Bill, could see his marksmanship in spite of being untrained.

After a few years, Edwin indeed contacted Bill as he was one of the best shooters in a few local shooting competitions.

He was forever grateful to Bill, for giving him the opportunity to have a good life as his uncle and aunt took really good care of him. 

Edwin loved shooting and using guns, so he remembered Bill's words of contacting Bill if it interested him and so he did.

Bill introduced his family, to Edwin who mingled well with Samantha and Sarah. 

After observing Edwin and getting a hold on a few things, Bill introduced him to his organization and asked him if he would want to work as an assassin.

Edwin was surprised for a moment, but he accepted Bill's offer as he always had the urge to use his skills somewhere and after training with Bill, Edwin realized his passion lies here and was glad to contact Bill.

Edwin was the best shooter in Bill's organization until Samantha took over his place.

After Sarah's death, Samantha found out her father's truth of being an assassin. She loved her dad so much, that his truth didn't affect her at all.

Rather, Samantha expressed her interest in joining him to avenge her mom's death. Initially Bill was reluctant to drag Samantha into his world, he knew how cruel it is and he wished his daughter to lead a worriless life.

Eventually, he gave up in front of her stubbornness and let her join his organization. At that time Bill was not in a good condition himself, so he asked Edwin to train Samantha in shooting.

During this training, Edwin and Samantha bonded well and got closer. Samantha treated him like her elder brother and he didn't mind it as he saw Bill as a father figure and therefore Samantha as a sister.

Slowly, Samantha started getting better than Edwin, surprising the two men. Bill never expected his daughter to actually have some amazing skills and to rise up as one of the best assassins in the assassin world.

Bill shared all of this with Chance.

Then, Bill informed Chance about how Samantha therefore reacted after finding out Edwin is Lucas' killer. He didn't hide anything from Chance and honestly shared his daughter's intentions of double crossing him.

Chance was silent as he digested all the information he got.

"I am sorry Chance. I couldn't convince her and I know myself very well. Samantha is my weakness and eventually I will give in to her stubbornness. I can never say no to her. So, I decided to come here and share the whole truth with you as I don't wish to double cross you either."

"Sir, please don't apologize. I totally understand your perception and Samantha's too. She is attached to Edwin, and she hates me. So, she would obviously try her best to protect him. It is natural"

Bill was surprised at what Chance said. He didn't expect Chance to be so understanding, he expected Chance will be annoyed with Samantha and he will have to convince him to understand Samantha's perception. 

"Are you serious?" Bill couldn't help but ask.

"Why? What happened?" Chance politely smiled.

"I was expecting you to get upset at Samantha, if you are, you don't need to hide it Chance"

Chance smiled at Bill, "Believe me sir, I am really not upset with Samantha. I am rather feeling bad that I would be killing someone close to her. I never expected things to turn out like this. Life can never be easier, can it?" Chance questioned Bill who shook his head.

"If everything falls into place, then there is always something ready to trouble us"

"Hmm, I wish Edwin never killed Lucas. Even if he is close to Samantha, I cannot let go off the fact that he killed my best friend. I have to avenge Lucas' death." Chance declared and Bill nodded his head, understanding him.

"Hmm, I knew your decision won't change so I came here to give you all the real information on Edwin aka Brimstone"

"Brimstone" Chance muttered to himself and tightly clenched his fist as he understood why Lucas was killed.

"Was Italian Mafia involved too?" Chance calmly asked him and Bill confirmed it.

"Yes, two people from the Italian Mafia hired Brimstone to do this task."

"These people, hired Lucas to kill some target and instead they got him killed. I tried to dig deeper into it and realized every information they provided was fake."

"Hmm, so was the case with us but I am sure Brimstone has the real information that might be of use to you." Bill informed him.

"Sir, are you not hurt that I am killing someone close to you?" Chance couldn't help but ask Bill this question as he was the one who protected Edwin when he was a child and asked him to join his organization. Chance could sense how close they were.

"The only people I ever cared about are Sarah and Samantha, now it is you too. I don't care about anyone else" Bill was straightforward surprising Chance as he didn't expect he too would be mentioned in the list of people Bill cares about.

"Me too?" Chance again asked pointing at himself.

Bill nodded his head confirming he indeed heard right.

"Why?"

"How can my son-in-law not be important to me?" Bill smiled at Chance and this sentence made Chance's day as he was happy knowing this.

Just then Chance's office phone rang.

"I told them not to disturb me" Chance muttered to himself and answered the call only to get surprised at what the receptionist informed him.

"Oh, send her to my office" Chance instructed her.

"Samantha is here" Chance informed Bill who was surprised too.

"Why?"

"I think she brought lunch for me"

"I would love to know what she will do to you when she finds out the truth" Bill teased Chance making him speechless.

Bill laughed at Chance's reaction.

"You are so cruel" Chance complained and in a few minutes Samantha appeared there. She didn't expect Bill to be present there and was surprised just like the two men expected.

"Dad?" 

"I had to see where your boyfriend is working. It is my duty to verify if he is indeed the person he is claiming to be, so I came here" Bill answered Samantha. 

Only Chance understood the underlying teasing of Bill.

Samantha wanted to scold her dad for scaring Chance like this but she decided to keep quiet for now.

"Oh"

She sat on the couch across from them.

"Why are you here?" Bill asked her.

"These days Chance is coming home tired, so I decided to make something for him today as I got some time off my work."

"Home? You are talking like you two live together" Bill glared at the two people looking very angry. He was just teasing them as he had fun making them feel uncomfortable.

"We are actually neighbours" Chance calmly answered him as he understood how much this man was having fun pushing them in misery.

"Neighbours? That is as good as living together. Sam, I don't allow living together" Bill glared at his daughter.

"Dad, we really don't live together, chill" Samantha was embarrassed of her dad's actions and she couldn't even look at Chance because of her dad.

She calmly took out the food she brought and arranged it on the table in front of her.

"You two, come here, let's have lunch" Samantha ordered them and they joined her.

"You have enough food for me too? Or you only brought enough food for your boyfriend?" Bill sarcastically questioned her.

"I brought enough food for three people, dad, if the need comes, I'll eat less, don't worry" 

"Wow, you will eat less but won't let your boyfriend eat less" Bill again taunted his daughter who could not do anything except for keeping quiet.

Samantha wondered if her dad is troubling her only to get back at her for going against him in Grim Reaper's case.

The three people then had lunch while conversing about some random topics, they had a good time together, after which Samantha and Bill left.

After they left, Chance was lost in some deep thoughts as a new hurdle blocked his path to revenge. 

This time he didn't wish to discuss this problem with David as he didn't wish for him to know about Samantha's plan to double cross them.

He couldn't let anyone else know of this side of hers as no one would understand her the way he does.

Chance was indeed not upset with her.
