My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chance shared the truth with her without revealing the fact that she is the client he is referring to.

"That's it? And you are this worried?" Samantha felt like his problem was very small.

Chance smiled when he heard her question, he stroked her head, "It is not a small thing. If I am not able to complete what I promised to this client within the next two weeks then they won't fulfil the huge project they promised to give us. If I lose this project then there would be no meaning to my work." He shared his deep worries as it was true. If he won't help Samantha then she won't give him the details on Lucas' killers. 

If Chance doesn't avenge his friends' death, then there was no meaning to the assassin lifestyle he chose for himself.

Chance looked really worried and suddenly he felt soft hands touch his cheek and he was startled. Samantha caressed his cheeks, "Is the problem that big?" She asked him sitting up and facing him.

Chance was really surprised by Samantha's actions; he was not sure what got into her and why was she suddenly so loving towards him.

Nevertheless, he answered her question, "Hmm, it is"

"Are you the one working on this project or your employees are in charge of it?" She asked him.

"A few employees who work for me, they are the ones in charge of it. They are highly capable so I left this work to them. But it is really a tough project so they were not able to finish it. Today morning they called me to inform about it" He shared.

Samantha nodded her head and thought for a few seconds, "Then why don't you complete this project yourself instead of leaving it to them. You are more capable and highly experienced, maybe they lack something that you don't" She suggested.

Samantha was not sure how feasible her suggestion is but she really wanted to give him a solution and help him get rid of his worries. She was ready to give more suggestions if he explains why, this one is not possible.

Chance deeply thought of what she said. 

Earlier he informed David of what happened and how the team informed they are not able to trace Excalibur. 

David got worried after knowing of this problem as they assumed once Samantha as Danger-Ace agrees to help them then their problem will be solved but now there were new complications.

"Hmm, I need to discuss with David about it." Chance said as he too now felt maybe it would be better if he himself searches for Excalibur.

Samantha was glad, she was able to give him a solution which might help him.

"Thanks Sam, now take some rest" Chance helped her lie down and he covered her with a thin blanket as it was not very cold there.

Samantha lied down; she was not exhausted but she acted like she was very tired after what happened. 

Chance kissed her forehead and left her tent.

His friends were all standing outside a few meters away from Samantha's tent as all their tents were close by.

"Is something wrong?" Chance approached them as they all looked tense.

"No, everything is fine. I made Carol sleep; she is resting in her tent now" Mia informed Chance who just nodded his head.

"How is Samantha?" Jack asked him.

"She is fine but a bit exhausted as she had to carry Carol's weight while saving her" Chance added some extra things from his side to make Samantha look more amazing than she already is.

"Thank goodness she saved Carol by having no hard feelings for her" Jack exclaimed.

"Samantha is a very nice person." Chance said and added, "Guys, is she now good enough for me to move across the country?" He sarcastically questioned them.

Jack, Mia and Abigail felt ashamed after they heard what Chance said. They kept quiet and didn't try to justify themselves or give any excuse as they knew they were wrong and they spouted nonsense a day before for Carol's sake.

"Sorry Chance. Our actions cannot be justified. We can only apologize to you and assure you that something like this will never happen again." Abigail said.

"And we don't oppose to you being with Samantha. After interacting with her today, we realized why you fell for her." Mia added.

"She has a very big heart" Jack said.

"It's okay guys. I am just glad they both are safe. I just have one request, if possible, help Carol get over her one-sided feelings for me instead of encouraging her" Chance seriously warned them and they agreed to it as they all had the same opinion now.

"Sure, we will try our best to help Carol get over you" Mia promised.

"Thank you. You should all rest too; we had a hectic day." Chance suggested and his friends went back to their tents. 

Only David stayed back.

"Shall we continue our conversation from earlier?" David asked him.

Chance nodded his head and they went to a safe place with no people around.

"As I told you earlier, the team is not able to find any information on Excalibur" Chance said.

"Hmm, if we are not able to find him in two weeks then Samantha won't help us." David worriedly exclaimed.

"Yeah, that's the problem"

"Chance, Exterminator already knows your truth, right?"

"Hmm, he does"

"Should we ask for his help?" David suggested.

"I also thought of that but David, I don't want to go back on my word"

"Then?" David looked worried.

"Actually, Samantha just gave me a solution." Chance's words surprised David and he continued, "Based on her suggestion, I feel maybe I should go and personally search for Excalibur"

"What?" David was stunned.

"Yeah"

"Are you crazy?" David did not like this idea.

"Why? What is wrong with it?" Chance questioned David as he would never react like this without a reason.

"Dude, Excalibur is fucking dangerous. If you directly go looking for him and he gets an idea, then he will kill you" 

"How do you know that?"

"Uncle told me" David answered as a matter-of-fact.

Uncle here, was the man who raised Chance like his own son, Mr Miller.

"Wait, he told you about Excalibur? When?"

"Around five years ago, he casually mentioned about Excalibur and how ruthless he is"

"Wasn't Excalibur been missing for more than seven years, now?" Chance questioned him as something just stuck him.

"Yeah, so what?"

"Why would dad mention Excalibur after he went missing"

"Actually, that…" David suddenly realized something and widened his eyes in shock.

"What happened?" Chance was curious to know as he could figure out, he came across something useful.

"Fuck, he mentioned him because uncle contacted that man. Excalibur after running away was in contact with uncle and uncle wired him some money"

"Don't tell me they were friends" Chance worriedly asked David who nodded his head in confirmation and Chance slapped his forehead as he didn't expect the man his love wants to kill is his dad's friend.

"Fuck" Chance cursed in frustration.

"Chance, look at the bright side, if we use uncle's name, we can contact Excalibur. Since you are technically uncle's son, Excalibur will trust you and you can double cross him, give his information to Samantha. Problem solved" David was relieved after what he said.

"That would be so cruel. This way I would be breaking dad's trust" Chance was not completely convinced with this idea.

"Come on dude. Killing Lucas' killers is our top priority Chance. Nothing else should matter. Also, uncle is no more now, so…"

"But still how can I use dad's name, it would be equivalent to me ruining his name and breaking his trust"

"Chance, come on, at times we need to make a few sacrifices to get things done our way" David tried to convince him.

"No David, I need some time. I have to think about it carefully." Chance was not convinced with David's solution yet.

"Chance, do you know why Samantha and her father are looking for Excalibur?" David asked him to which Chance shook his head as he indeed didn't dig deeper into it and has no idea about it.

"I know why." David's revelation surprised him and he continued, "Although you didn't wish to know the reason, I still dug deeper as I was curious. I wanted to know everything"

"So?" Chance asked him the reason as he has to know the reason before making a decision like this.

David then informed Chance, how Excalibur started taking his enmity with The Exterminator personally. So much so that he tried to find out his real identity.

Although Excalibur couldn't get details on Bill, he was able to find details on Sarah. If he patiently would have tried to dig deeper into it then he could have found more information on Bill and Samantha but he was so restless in taking his revenge from the Exterminator, he didn't care about anything else and killed Sarah.
