My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 167: Cheat

"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 as she was unaware of a lot of things about her own brother.

Isaac smiled and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Because he was sure, you will always be happy with me and no one can love you more than me"

Carol too smiled back at him, "If my brother would have shared his wish with me even once, then I would have never wasted my time behind Chance"

"He didn't want to influence you." Isaac explained.

Carol nodded her head as her brother loved her more than anyone and would never force her to do something she didn't wish to.

"Anyway, my true love won and here you are with me" Isaac looked very happy as he didn't expect things to progress this fast between them.

The two people laughed after what he said and headed upstairs towards the master suit.

On the way, Samantha was lost in some deep thoughts while Chance was observing her.

He was glad seeing her reaction as his plan was working.

Chance let her be and quietly they drove towards his home.

"Sam?" Chance softly called her pulling her back from her thoughts.

"Yeah?" She was startled by his voice.

"We reached home" He informed her and Samantha was shocked to see them in the parking area already.

"So soon?" She exclaimed in surprise.

"What soon? We have been driving for fifty minutes" Chance smiled, while explaining.

"What? Really?" Samantha checked the time on her phone.

"Where were you so lost, that you didn't even realize it?" He stroked her hair.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about dad. I need to inform him that we postponed our trip" Samantha smoothly lied.

"Hmm, apologize to him on my behalf" The two stepped down the car.

Chance went to freshen up, and Samantha went to the lawn area, to call Bill as she had to update him of everything that happened here.

All of this was killing her, she had to share this with someone to feel lighter.

Edwin's sudden appearance and the strange guy she just met, who gave her Grim Reaper's vibe, confused her and made her very curious.

Bill answered her call, "Hey Sam, I missed you dear" he said as soon as he answered his phone.

"Dad, things are getting out of control" Samantha blurted out desperately, when she heard her dad's voice. 

"What happened, Sam? Is Chance alright?" Bill got worried when he heard her voice, which was clearly filled with panic and anxiousness.

"Yeah dad, Chance is alright but"

Then Sam told him about how Edwin suddenly appeared as a guest and is using Lucas' sister to find Grim Reaper. Then she shared Edwin's plan with her dad and how she was surprised to know Chance's late best friend is Maestro, a famous assassin.

Bill frowned when he got to know Samantha was so close to the truth. He started worrying, as he felt she figured out Chance is Grim Reaper but then what she said next, surprised him.

"Today, a guy suddenly showed up at the dinner. His name is Isaac Bennet. He gave me Grim Reaper's vibe, dad." Samantha nervously informed him and added, "Even Edwin believes that man is the Grim Reaper. But we are not sure. Dad, the possibility of Grim Reaper being Chance's friend is scaring me. That guy Isaac, he kept smirking at me, as if he knows me and as you know, because of my stupidity, I exposed myself to him, that day. Dad, for the first time I am scared. I feel like everything is getting out of my control" Samantha worriedly shared her fear with her dad.

"Sam, calm down. It might just be your misunderstanding. Maybe you and Edwin are so scared of Grim Reaper, that every guy you meet, is making you two anxious" Bill tried to convince her so that she calms down.

"But dad, what if he is Grim Reaper?" Samantha voiced out her fear.

Never did she expect, Grim Reaper would someday will be so close to her. She was planning to double cross him and was confident of her plan but now the way things are turning out, she was losing control over the current situation.

"Samantha, just call Grim Reaper and tell him the truth about Edwin. We are anyway supposed to complete our side of the deal. If you delay it, pissing him, then he might harm Chance" Bill knew, his words of assurance are not going to work. He has to give her a solution, only then will she calm down.

Samantha thought for a while and said, "You are asking me to betray Edwin?"

"Seriously Sam? Edwin is anyway going to die. Just accept it. Save the one you can. Who is more important Chance or Edwin?" Bill questioned her.

"Of course, Chance." Samantha answered him without any hesitation.

"Then save him. This is how I made the decision to betray Edwin too. For me, you and Chance are more important and I can never lose either of you two" Bill encouraged her.

"Okay dad, I'll tell Grim Reaper the truth" Samantha was determined to protect Chance and she was willing to do anything to ensure he is safe.

Although Isaac was a friend of Chance, he will kill him if he indeed is the Grim Reaper.

Samantha doesn't trust Grim Reaper at all, so she decided to do the right thing as no matter who this Grim Reaper is, he will definitely kill Edwin, with or without Samantha's help.

So, she decided to help him so that she can ensure Chance's safety.

"Good, I am proud of you" Bill sighed in relief and asked her, "Where is Chance?"

"He is in the bath"

"Okay, I'll call and engage him, meanwhile you can talk to Grim Reaper. Call GR only five minutes after I call Chance so that his attention is not on you" Bill suggested a plan which would ensure Chance can talk to her as Grim Reaper.

Bill had no idea what was going on and he made this suggestion based on Samantha's side of story.

"Thanks dad, you are the best" Samantha felt much better after talking to Bill and headed to their bedroom.

She saw Chance lying on the bed checking his phone.

"Chance, dad wants to talk to you" Samantha informed him.

"Oh okay" Chance was about to call Bill but he received a call from him instead and he stepped out in the gallery.

"Chance, Samantha is now going to call Grim Reaper" Bill informed him as soon as he answered his phone.

"Oh okay" Chance then stepped out of the room, while heading out he told Samantha, "Sam, I'll be in the lawn, let me know if you need something" 

Samantha nodded her head, sighing in relief as he left from there, letting her talk to Grim Reaper in space.

Chance then stepped down and went to the study room where he hid his other phone, which he uses to converse with Samantha, as Grim Reaper.

"Thanks sir, I'll manage from here" 

"Hmm" Bill hung up the call as his purpose was done.

Chance had no idea what was happening but he himself wished to have a call with Samantha as the Grim Reaper.

He was anyway supposed to call her. He gave her Excalibur's information and therefore according to the deal, she has to share Lucas' murderer's information with him.

Chance headed out to the lawn and as expected, in a minute his phone rang.

"Finally, you called me, I thought after getting all the information you want, you will cheat me" Chance answered the call changing the voice modulation.

Samantha was in the lobby of the first floor, so that she would know if Chance suddenly walks in.

Her heart was already a mess and her anxiousness was eating her up.

All of this mixed with Grim Reaper's taunt was not helping but she composed herself.

"If I wanted to cheat you, why would I call you?" Samantha responded in a cold voice.

When she talks to the Grim Reaper, she automatically turns into this cold woman.

"Why didn't you call sooner?" Chance was not ready to let her off easily.

"I was busy planning how to kill my own target. After all I had to kill Excalibur" Samantha was not affected by Grim Reaper's accusation.

"And yet you ended up killing his mother. That was really very cruel of you" 

Samantha rolled her eyes, "I didn't kill his mother, he himself killed her. At least have all the information before accusing me" 

Grim Reaper chuckled at her, "No wonder he killed himself"

Samantha was surprised as she had no idea Excalibur is already dead.

"He killed himself?" She asked in surprise.

"Hmm, you didn't know?" Grim Reaper questioned her.

"I am busy, so didn't get this information"
