Chapter 104: Asshole
Chapter 104: Asshole
Samantha was not home at that time and neither was Bill, so they couldn't save Sarah and she died a brutal death.
This was why Samantha entered the world of assassins, she wanted to avenge her mother's death.
After David informed Chance of everything, he felt bad for what Samantha and Bill went through.
He lost his parents once, but Samantha lost her parents twice.
Because of this incident she and Bill stayed away from each other like strangers and not together like a family which was a brutal fate for her.
After knowing what happened with Samantha and how unfair Excalibur was for harming an innocent person for his revenge, Chance decided to use his adopted father's name to bring Excalibur out of his hiding and to get him killed by Bill and Samantha.
"Fine, we will use uncle's name to get Excalibur out of his hiding and will give his details to Danger-Ace and The Exterminator." Chance declared and David hugged him happily.
"Are you that relieved?" Chance smiled seeing David's state.
"Obviously, when you said our team was not able to find information on Excalibur, I was shit scared. Our efforts and everything that we did till now would have gone into waste." David shared his fear while hugging Chance.
Chance patted him, "After knowing what Excalibur did, I don't mind double crossing him. It is fine to make him taste his own medicine" He said.
David moved away and smiled, "Thank goodness, you were convinced so fast"
"How can I not after you informed me what Samantha went through. If anyone tries to hurt her, I can't spare them. I have to get them killed." Chance seriously said.
He indeed wants to get Excalibur killed after knowing how he might have almost killed Samantha if not for his own carelessness.
"What are you going to do about Carol, then?" David finally raised the question he had in his mind.
Chance was confused, "What about Carol?"
"What do you think really happened between Samantha and Carol?" David raised his eyebrows in question.
Chance had a huge grin on his face, "I think exactly what you think"
David smiled back, "Carol's second story was true. The first one was lame, the second one was honest but only we two know Samantha well enough to believe that story." He shared his opinion.
Chance nodded his head, "Hmm, Carol is an idiot for trying to kill Sam. I mean, I understand it is not her fault as she has no idea on how skilled Sam is but still trying to kill someone is so cruel" he said righteously.
"Wow, what a hypocrite. Do you realize how many people you killed? You are a professional killer Mr Miller? Miller the killer" David laughed at his own joke.
Chance laughed, "Nice one, just like Kill Bill there should be a movie on me, Miller the Killer"
"Wow, your father-in-law is named Bill, right?"
"Hahaha, nice observation David" The two men laughed at their lame jokes.
"Anyway, I can't believe Samantha tried to kill Carol" David commented.
"What is there to not believe about it? Carol was the one who first tried to kill her, Samantha did what was right. It was self-defence"
David: ""
"Self-defence? Are you kidding me?" David couldn't believe how blindly Chance was in love with Samantha.
Chance smiled at David.
"I am sure Samantha must have been very annoyed and intentionally pushed her, to teach Carol a lesson" Chance was sure of what must have happened as he know these two women very well.
"Samantha played a master stroke though. She pushed Carol and then saved her. Samantha made up a story which was more believable and she showed her true colours to Carol. Now no matter how hard Carol tries to tell the truth no one will believe her. I am impressed with your woman." David summarized his opinion.
"True. That's why I am not going to do anything about Carol. Samantha can handle people like Carol, she does not need me"
"Yeah, but it is so disappointing to see Carol didn't inherit Lucas' skills" David was disappointed.
Chance just laughed it off and the two went back to their tents to rest for some time.
Later, it was lunch hour. Chance went to check on Samantha and woke her up, then the two people went to a small restaurant at the camping site.
Others were already present there and were waiting for them.
"How are you doing now?" Mia asked Samantha as soon as the two people joined them.
"I am fine. Thank you" Samantha politely smiled at her.
"I want to make a request to you two. Can we all get over what happened earlier and move on from this incident, so that we do not have awkwardness between us" Mia made a request.
"I too would love that" Samantha flashed her lady-like perfect smile, making everyone around her feel comfortable.
David looked at Chance, his gaze clearly saying, 'Your woman is an amazing actress.' To which Chance proudly smirked, 'My choice is obviously the best'
They all had lunch in peace.
Carol behaved herself as Abigail warned her to not act out of line as what Carol did was a criminal offence. Abigail told her how her future would be if Samantha files a case against her. It really made Carol shiver in fear and she decided to behave herself.
Later, David and Mia went for hiking. Abigail and Jack went to ride the bikes. Carol rested in her tent as she had no energy and was feeling weak.
Chance asked Samantha, if she would like to go and continue her fishing at the lake and she agreed. So, the two went to fish at the lake.
Chance was never into fishing so he had no idea how to fish. Samantha taught him the basics and the two threw their fishing rods in the pond.
"Now what?" Chance asked her.
"Now we will wait for a fish to take the bait and fall into our trap" Samantha said and relaxed while using a stand to hold the rod.
"It seems, you have been fishing for years" Chance commented seeing how smooth her actions were.
"Yeah, my parents and I used to go fishing at least once every month. My mom and dad both loved this activity and after living with them for so many years, I too developed love towards it"
"They seem like fun parents" Chance commented.
"Yeah, they were very fun. You know how we have prom nights at high school?"
"Yes, they are amazing" Chance said and Samantha looked at him trying to control her smile.
"What?" Chance asked her seeing her reaction.
"No, nothing" Samantha shook her head, still smiling.
"Hey come on, tell me what is it?"
"Are you one of those guys who was popular in high school, multiple girlfriends, rude to teachers, basically an asshole?" Samantha asked him.
Chance looked at her in shock, she was on-point about his personality when he was young and seeing his expression, she realized she was right. Samantha couldn't help but laugh at him louder.
"You are so judgemental" Chance complained.
"Was I wrong?"
"No, but how can you make this kind of assumption?"
"You just said prom nights are amazing. That was enough for me to figure out all of this" She teased him.
"Hey, that's not fair" Chance went into his defence mode as his old days were not something he was proud of. He was indeed an asshole.
"You were the prom king, weren't you?" She asked.
"Yeah, I was" He honestly said.
"I am sure you were an asshole to many women then." Samantha concluded.
"Hey, I disagree with you, not all prom kings are assholes. That's the worst logic I ever came across." Chance disagreed with her statement.
"I didn't conclude you were an asshole to many women based on your status as an ex-prom king, it was based on my understanding of you in the last few months"
"I again disagree. The last few months, I have only been nice to you and nothing else. Rather you were an asshole to me" Chance declared and Samantha laughed at how wronged he looked.
"You deserved it" She said.
"Excuse me?"
"Who freaks out a girl by travelling across the country to meet her only after spending a day or two with her in Hawaii?" She questioned him.
"Well" Chance was speechless as what he did indeed would look weird from Sam's perspective as she is not aware of the fact that they know each other for years.
"Then you suddenly show up at my boutique and you say you love me" Samantha was sharing with him how much his actions freaked her out.
He didn't say anything and let her continue, "Even worse, you were about to ask me for marriage. Like that was the limit, who does that? Do you realize how weird it is when a guy I just met, would ask me for marriage?" Samantha scolded Chance for his actions.
