My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 166: Stay With Me

One day Isaac accidentally came to know that Chance and Lucas were assassins, and that David too is indirectly involved in this field.

That day Lucas was terrified, not because they were assassins but because he thought he would lose a close friend forever as it is a dangerous field.

Isaac loved his friends more than anyone else. 

Although he was affected by this truth, but eventually he made peace with it and accepted his friends the way they were.

Jack and Carol were unaware of the truth so Isaac was careful and mindful of his actions and he too promised to hide this truth from them.

Isaac had his own business and commitments but he used to ensure to spend some time with his friends. 

But after Lucas' death and Carol's rejection, Isaac was broken and distanced himself from the gang for a while.

Chance always assured him; he would never have feelings for Carol as he only sees her as a sister but Isaac wished for Chance to accept Carol as he couldn't see her heartbroken.

Chance was sure, Carol would eventually end up with Isaac as he, David, Jack and especially Lucas wished for them to be together and they all could see Carol and Isaac shared a special bond. For Carol, Isaac was more special than anyone.

Now that this Edwin situation happened, Chance decided to take Isaac's help by hitting three birds with one stone. Separating Carol from Edwin, transferring Sam and Ed's suspicions onto Isaac and finally to kill Edwin.

After going back home from David's house, Chance excused himself and spent his time in the study room.

Samantha too didn't disturb him and all this while Chance, called Isaac and informed him of all the happenings around here.

Isaac already knew Lucas' death was not an accident, so after knowing his killer was now playing with his woman's feelings, Isaac couldn't take it anymore and obviously decided to help Chance with his plan and here he was.

"Excuse me?" Edward questioned him, looking offended as Isaac just called him a gold digger.

"I am kidding" Isaac chuckled and moved his attention to David and talked about other stuff.

Edwin was flustered but he tried to stay calm. Samantha too signalled him to compose himself so he did.

After the dinner was over, everyone headed back to their home, Carol and Edward were at the entrance of the hotel, when Carol initiated a conversation.

"Edward, I had a great time with you. This one week was fun, all thanks to you" Carol politely said.

"Hmm, same here" Edward was not paying that much attention and his mind was occupied with Isaac.

"But I don't see, we going anywhere"

"Why? We are going home now, right?" Carol was speechless for a moment.

'Was he always this dumb or after meeting Isaac, he seems dumber to me?' Carol wondered.

Carol was already feeling drunk and Edward was not helping her.

"Edward, I want to end things between us" Carol understood there is no point talking to him in a roundabout way. She had to be frank.

"What?" Edwin was surprised with this sudden breakup. He didn't see it coming.

"Yeah, I had a good time with you but I realized we are not compatible or whatever, we just don't belong together." Carol tried to be nice to not break his heart.

"But why so suddenly?" Edward was shocked as his plan to attend the party would be spoiled if she ends things between them now.

"No particular reason, I just don't see us belonging together. I hope you will understand" Carol said, trying to hold herself properly before her wine could hit her.

"But can you please date me just for a few more days?" Edward requested her.

Carol was confused at his weird request.

"Sorry, what?"

"Please date me for a few more days, after that we can breakup. How about we breakup after four or five days?" Edward begged her.

Carol had a bad feeling so she stepped a bit away from him, "I am sorry Edward, but I don't want to" she said.

"No, you can't do this to me, you" Edward stepped towards Carol, who again took a step back but suddenly her back collided with something hard and she heard a voice from above her head.

"Why can't she?" Isaac stepped there and held Carol from behind, questioning Edward seriously.

Edwin turned nervous when he looked at Isaac. The man looked scary.

When Ed thought of him as the Grim Reaper, his fear was increased ten-folds.

"I bought a suit for the party" Edward nervously said.

He was still not sure if Isaac is indeed the Grim Reaper, it is just an intuition. So, he still had to attend this party, just to be sure.

"What? What party?" Carol didn't get what Edward was trying to say.

"I was excited about your company's anniversary party, I really want to attend it, so can you please date me?" Edward left all his shame behind and shamelessly informed her why he wants them to keep dating her.

"Are you serious? You want to date her so that you can attend some party?" Isaac questioned him; his expression was that of a speechless person.

He knew why Edwin was so desperate to attend this party. Isaac had the urge to kill this man, who killed their friend and is now with Carol so that he could kill another friend of his.

But Isaac has already been warned by Chance to not do anything in haste and ruin his plan. 

So, Isaac held himself back as the least he could do was to not create trouble for Chance.

Condescendingly he laughed at Edward.

"Really Edward? You want to date me so that you can attend some party?" Carol could feel herself sober up with this man's stupidity.

She wondered why the hell she even dated him in the first place but then she realized in front of Isaac, he was looking dumber than he already is.

"I never attended such big parties, so" Edwin was thinking how to convince them as he initially planned to be Carol's +1, and now that chance is ruined.

"I'll send you the invite, when it is available." Carol said, to get rid of him. 

"How will you send it?" Edward shamelessly asked her.

"Oh god. It is a digital invite, I'll just mail it" Carol frustratedly shouted at him, she never came across a weird man like him.

"Note my mail address" Edwin wanted to be sure so he continued being shameless.

"Will you leave, once I note it down? And end things between us?" Carol asked him and Edwin nodded his head.

He only left after sharing his email address and after making Carol promise him, she will send the invite.

Carol sighed in relief, seeing him gone.

"Told you he is a gold digger" Isaac whispered in her ears as he was still standing behind her.

Carol shivered when she felt his hot breath on her ears.

"I'll take my leave" Carol was about to step out, when Isaac suddenly hugged her from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder.

"Don't go, stay with me tonight" He requested her.

"I have to"

"You are anyway too drunk to drive. The master suit in this hotel is always booked under me, we can just stay here for the night" Isaac suggested and this made Carol's heart race faster.

Wondering what he was trying to imply by suggesting they stay here together for the night; this made Carol nervous.

She wished to be with Isaac but she wanted to take it slow.

Isaac knew her from their childhood, he knew what she was thinking, "By staying here together doesn't mean something intimate needs to happen between us. We can just talk and hold hands" Isaac assured her and Carol sighed in relief.

"How do you know me so well?" She couldn't help but ask him.

"We grew up together, remember?" Isaac smiled at her and she turned around to look at him, "Did Lucas really wish for us" Carol couldn't complete her question but Isaac understood it and nodded his head.

"He knew you like Chance and he also knew I like you. He knows all of us very well and one day just to be sure, he frankly asked Chance about you and Chance clearly informed that you are like a sister to him." Isaac laughed recollecting something and continued, "That day Lucas was so relieved as he didn't wish for us to get involved in some love triangle and expressed how he wished for you to actually end up with me. He was worried about Chance's feelings but after getting the confirmation from Chance, that he is not interested in you, Lucas frankly shared his wish"

"Why did he wish so?" Carol asked him as she loved talking about her brother and she too wished to know more about what Lucas thought of.
