My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 114: Need To Confess Something

Samantha glared at this cruel man who looks so gentle but acts like a devil.

She was not less and believed she was more brutal than him and she bit back on his lips trying to hurt him back but Chance seemed to enjoy it.

"Why are you not shouting in pain?" Samantha was annoyed to see him fine.

"Your bites are very cute" Chance kissed her red cheeks to calm her down as she looked very angry.

Chance lied beside her and caressed her cheeks, "I still can't believe you finally accepted your feelings" He commented.

"How could you be so sure I had feelings for you which I accepted? Maybe I developed them recently." Samantha questioned him.

"I have been with many women till date, I understand what they are feeling when they are with me" He honestly said as that was exactly how he was so sure about her feelings.

"Hmm, why did you never date anyone?" Samantha seriously asked him as his earlier story was proof enough of how much he hates being in a relationship.

"After losing my family, I never wished to have another family. I wanted to be alone forever. For the rest of my life, I just wanted to live with no emotional baggage."

Samantha was surprised to know his explanation as she could relate with it, she too had similar thoughts.

She never wanted to be with anyone, due to the same reason, she never wished to have a family, she lost her family almost twice and didn't have the energy to love someone wholeheartedly and then to lose them again.

"Then what changed after meeting me?" Samantha too felt a change in her desires after meeting Chance, she wanted to therefore know what his reasons were.

"I felt a connection with you and for the first time, I wanted to spend more time with someone without expecting anything in return. The time we spent never seemed sufficient. After you left, I felt empty and incomplete. I knew in that moment; you are the woman I would want to spend the rest of my life with. You made me feel complete, Sam" 

Samantha slept on his arm and hugged him, "You are the only person in my life, who made me feel safe and secured. I don't know what exactly that feeling was but I felt if I am with you, everything will be fine"

Chance kissed her forehead and pulled her closer by circling his arm around her waist.

The two lied there silently, not saying a word.

After a few minutes, Samantha broke the silence, "Chance, I need to confess something about me, it might shock you but I don't wish to hide it from you."

Chance frowned in surprise when she said this sentence. His heart started pounding faster. He was scared she would confess the truth of her being an assassin to him.

He was not ready to reveal he is the Grim Reaper. Although he decided to tell her the truth to her if she ever confesses to him but he realized how much she hates The Grim Reaper and he didn't wish to lose her because of his own past actions.

Chance wanted to ask her to not reveal whatever it is but he couldn't, so he kept quiet.

Samantha lifted her head and looked into his eyes, she could see fear and anxiousness on his face, she was confused at his reaction but nevertheless she continued, "You remember my adopted father? I told you about him."

"The cop?" Chance was not sure what she would say now and was dead scared.

"He is alive" Samantha revealed, Chance realized this was her truth and he acted like he was shocked at this revelation.

Although Samantha never directly said it, she always clearly implied she was an orphan with no family, so he was supposed to act surprised therefore he did that.

"What? Really? Why did you always imply you were an orphan, then? Where is he? Do you ever meet him?" Chance asked her all the natural questions that one should ask in a situation like this.

Samantha expected such reaction from him, she calmly said. "My dad is a cop and he once got a criminal arrested, who after getting released wanted to have his revenge against my dad and so he killed my mom. Therefore, me and dad left that city and we started new lives in San Diego but we always live in the fear of that criminal coming after us, so just in case, we started living separately like strangers." 

This was the story Samantha thought of to justify why she and Bill act like strangers in spite of being one family.

"Oh, I am so sorry to know all of this happened." Chance found out the truth of how Excalibur killed her mother and realized what she was doing, but he acted like he truly believed her.

Although Samantha cooked a story and lied to him, the pain on her face was real when she recollected how brutally her mom was killed.

Chance tightly hugged her in his arms and she rested her head on his chest. While stroking her head, he consoled her, "I understand how painful it must have been for you to live like this, away from your father in spite of having him around you. Don't be scared of whoever that criminal is, I'll always protect you" He promised her.

Samantha believed Chance was not someone who could handle Excalibur but still she felt really protected when he said these words, it felt enough for her.

The two lied like that in peace, when suddenly David's voice interrupted them.

"Chance, dude, come out" David excitedly shouted from outside.

Samantha looked at Chance worriedly but he instead had a smile on his face as he knew why David was excited.

"Why the fuck are you smiling instead of being scared and anxious?" Samantha slapped his arm.

"Why should I be scared and anxious?" Chance looked very casual, still having a smile painted on his lips.

"Because I am here, in your tent" Samantha wanted to beat him up.

"So?"

"Chance, it is so embarrassing" Samantha wanted to shout at him but she was scared of David hearing her voice, so she kept her volume low.

"We are dating each other, so why is this embarrassing? You think they have been holding hands all these years?" Chance laughed at her.

Samantha's cheeks turned red in embarrassment; she indeed didn't care about his friends but she still didn't wish to come out of his tent like this in the middle of night.

Sensing her discomfort, Chance pulled her cheeks, "Wait, I'll handle this situation"

He gave some instructions to Samantha, then he pulled down the zipper of his tent and he stepped out, and immediately pulled up the zipper.

Outside, everyone gathered around as David called all of them out from their tents.

After seeing everyone present there, Mia said, "Samantha is not yet here, I'll call her"

But before she could step towards Samantha's tent, Chance stopped her, I'll get her here, you wait.

Mia teasingly smiled at him, "Sure, baby, how can I take away such a golden chance away from this Chance"

Chance flashed a fake smile as he was used to 'Chance' jokes from his childhood.

But before stepping towards Samantha's tent, Chance suddenly looked at the sky and loudly shouted, "What the fuck" His expression was that of completely shocked.

Everyone, present there followed Chance's gaze and looked towards the sky.

This was Samantha's code, so she quickly unzipped the tent and came out of it. Then quickly she rushed towards her own tent.

The other five people kept looking at the sky and didn't realize what just happened, "Chance, what are you looking at?" David asked him.

"Nothing, I was just surprised at how dark the sky is" 

Everyone present there looked at Chance with frown on their faces, "Chance, it is night time, obviously the sky would be dark. What is so surprising about it?" Jack questioned him, annoyed.

"I was just surprised guys, what is wrong with that?" Chance looked like he was not at fault.

"Forget it, why did you two wake us all up?" Abigail questioned Mia and David.

"Chance, get Samantha too" Mia looked at Chance and he called out Samantha, who came out of her tent as if she was sleeping and got disturbed by them.

'Wow, my woman is good at acting' He thought to himself and asked her to join them.

They pretended like nothing happened earlier and were indifferent towards each other.

Abigail, Jack, Carol, Samantha, Chance looked at Mia and David, who were smiling happily. Mia took a deep breath and she showed the back of her hand to everyone.

Abigail loudly shouted in excitement when she saw a big diamond ring on Mia's finger. Carol too jumped in joy and the two women rushed to hug Mia.
