My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 179: Quit This World

"Lucas?" Jack asked.

"He was an assassin too" Chance answered him.

"Why does Isaac know all of this and I don't?"

"I accidentally stepped into Lucas' personal store room and that's when I saw a few weapons there and later I confronted Lucas, that's how I found out." Isaac explained.

"Does girls know?"

"No and they should never know" Chance informed him.

"Why?"

"Abi is a cop, Mia is too sensitive for it, Carol would break down if she knows the reason behind Lucas' death"

"What about Samantha?" Jack seriously questioned Chance as he didn't mention her.

Chance hesitated in answering him.

"She will kill him if she ever finds out Chance is an assassin" David answered him instead.

"Kill? That's an exaggeration. Does she hate assassins or what?" Jack laughed as he thought David was joking.

"No, actually she is an assassin too. She is technically Chance's nemesis, if I am not wrong" Isaac laughed at this weird situation.

"What? Samantha is an assassin too?" This was the first time Jack was actually shocked tonight.

Earlier, when he saw Chance kill Edwin, he was not this shocked as he had his doubts on his friends.

Also, when he got to know Edwin was the reason behind Lucas' death, Jack himself had the urge to kill that man.

He was rather happy to see him dead.

"Hmm, long story" David answered Jack.

"We literally have all the time in this world" Jack said as he wished to know everything.

He was done being in the dark.

"Actually, we don't. We need to dispose off this body then go back to our women, who are waiting for us" Chance reminded them, the four women are still waiting at the party.

"Tomorrow, we will tell you everything, that's a promise" David could understand what Jack was going through right now, although he looked calm, so he assured him nothing would be hidden from him anymore.

"How did you manage to stay awake?" Isaac asked him about something that had been bothering him for a while.

"Earlier, when David grabbed and opened the can of my favourite beer, I was surprised as I thought he would give it to me, as he doesn't like that brand but then I saw him put a pill inside it. Later, Mia asked for his help to untangle her hair, which was stuck to her earrings, he kept that drink aside for a few seconds and I replaced can with another one." 

Jack looked at David and said, "That was my favourite brand of beer, so I was sure that medicine was meant for me. In the past, you and Chance hid a lot of stuff from me but I never said anything. This time, you wanted to hide something so badly that you mixed a medicine in my drink, so I wanted to see what you guys were up to that you had to go to this extent to hide it from me."

Jack deeply sighed recollecting the conversation Chance and David had in the car.

"I then followed you and Chance after five minutes that's when I saw everything that happened here. Honestly, I was not even surprised. You three always acted suspicious, I always knew something serious was being hidden from me."

"When did I act suspicious?" Isaac got confused as Jack mentioned three people, who acted suspicious.

"Not you, I meant Lucas" Jack clarified.

"Why did you never question us if you had your doubts?" Chance wondered.

"I was hoping some day you will tell me the truth by yourself" Jack sadly smiled.

"We didn't wish to drag you in this world in any way. Just a few months ago, I quit this world. It is dangerous, Jack" David explained.

"How dangerous it is?" Jack asked.

"Lucas lost his life, so you can imagine" 

"Chance, I want you to quit this world and not follow Giuseppe Berlusconi" Jack suddenly told Chance and his voice clearly had a tone of warning to it.

Chance was speechless when he heard what Jack wished for as it was very sudden.

"But Jack"

"Did you not hear him? If you try to sneak out that man, you will end up dying. We already lost Lucas forever. I don't have the energy to lose you" Jack turned teary eyed and shouted at Chance.

"Jack, we have to avenge Lucas' death and"

"I agree with Jack" David interrupted him shocking Chance.

"Chance, Edwin gave us all this information willingly as he knows we will be destroyed if we chase Giuseppe Berlusconi. Can we stop here, please? We killed the man, who killed Lucas, this is enough. Let's stop here?"

"Yeah Chance, think about Samantha. If anything happens to you, how will she take it? I saw the fear in her eyes even with the thought of losing you. Please, let's stop here" Isaac too suggested.

Chance didn't expect this from his friends and stood there speechless. 

After knowing the Berlusconi's involvement in Lucas' death, Chance had the urge to destroy their entire mafia gang but he didn't expect this new twist in his plan.

"David, how can you get scared? I understand Jack and Isaac's perspective, but you?"

"Chance, I quit this world as I wanted to live in peace. After hearing what Edwin said, I can see danger ahead. Please Chance, please let's stop here. I can't afford to lose you. Isaac is right, think about Samantha too. You are not alone anymore."

Chance deeply sighed and nodded his head, "Fine, if this is what you all want, let's stop here"

Although Chance didn't wish to stop, his friends, who were his only family now and also his weakness wished for it. 

When they all insisted, he give up on chasing Berlusconi gang, Chance didn't have the heart to argue back. 

He just gave in. 

David didn't expect Chance would agree so fast. He tightly hugged Jack happily, "Thanks Jack, thank you so much for making this request"

Isaac laughed and Chance helplessly shook his head.

The four men then disposed off Edwin's body. Mostly it was David and Chance who did everything while Jack and Isaac stood on the side, watching them do all the dirty work.

The four men then went back to the party.

Samantha and Carol got worried seeing Isaac's face and Chance's knuckle bleed.

"We were mugged. Isaac was beaten by them and so I beat them up" Chance explained.

"But we are fine, we managed well" Isaac assured seeing Carol worried.

"You should have been more careful, it must be hurting a lot" Samantha felt bad seeing his hand and she asked for a medical kit and treated the wound on his hand.

After spending some time with other guests, they all went back to their respective houses.

Friday night Chance and Samantha flew back to San Diego just like they planned.

Samantha was tired and wished to sleep at her home for a while, taking advantage of this situation, Chance went to visit Bill.

"Wow, I didn't expect you at this hour" Bill was surprised to see Chance visit him alone.

"Sam is tired, she is sleeping and there is something that has been bothering me for a while, I didn't know who else to go to"

Chance looked helpless.

"Have a seat, I'll prepare some coffee for you"

Bill went to kitchen and Chance organized his thoughts before putting them forward.

After Bill came with two cups of coffee, Chance had a sip and praised his coffee.

"It tastes really great"

"Where do you think Sam inherited her cooking skills from?" Bill proudly smirked.

"Her mother?" Chance countered and Bill glared at him as Chance was right.

"Anyway, why are you here? You look gloomy" 

"I killed Edwin" Chance informed him.

"Congratulations" Bill sarcastically laughed.

"Actually, what happened was"

Chance told him of everything that happened in New York and how his friends were against him digging deeper about Berlusconi gang.

Although, Chance gave in to their request, his mind hadn't been at peace since then.

If he was not busy, this is the only thing he thought about.

He wanted to seek some advice and except for Bill, Chance had no idea, whom to go to.

After Chance explained his side of the story, Bill calmly said, "Chance, you need to decide, what is more important for you. This revenge, destruction where you might actually end up losing your life or a bright, happy future with Samantha?"

At that moment, Chance realized Bill was sharing his opinion as Samantha's father and not as an assassin.

But Chance respects Bill way too much to oppose his suggestion.

"A bright future with Sam" Chance honestly answered but he also wanted revenge, he wanted both.

"I think you should take David, Isaac and Jack's advice. You should give up on your revenge"

Chance nodded his head, "Thanks sir, it means a lot"

He realized Bill too was on their side and there was no point of having a serious discussion, so he just agreed with his suggestion.
