My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 68: Loveless Relationship

Chance can go to any extent to have what he longs for and he would clearly say No if he is not interested in anything.

He was shocked when Carol confessed her love for him. With a heavy heart, he rejected her as she was someone who meant the world to Lucas and Chance made a promise to him that he would never let her be unhappy but he himself was the reason behind her sadness and broken heart which made him feel guilty.

But again, Chance was not someone who would accept her love for the sake of keeping her happy as he knows in the long run, he won't be truthful to her and in-turn she too would be upset in life.

So, he decided, in the matters of heart, it was better to be honest, no matter how painful it is for the other person as no one deserves to be in a loveless relationship.

But this time it seemed Chance's words hit Carol harder than he expected, maybe it was due to Samantha's presence, he thought. 

So, he let Carol be and didn't stop her when she was acting weirdly by driving them all around the town for an hour.

But after a point he warned her to stop this behaviour as he was running out of patience, "Carol, should we continue driving mindlessly or can we go to the bar and have a good time?" Chance seriously asked her, the meaning behind his words were very clear to her, 'Does she want to keep sulking or just live in the moment and have some fun instead?'

"Fine, let's go to the bar" Carol finally decided to not act out of line and after driving madly for an hour, she felt better.

Then Chance took over the control of the car as he did not trust Carol. Then he drove them all to one of the famous pubs in Austin.

The pub had a very lively atmosphere, one entire corner of the pub had a big bar with chairs on the other side, multiple bartenders were working behind the bar attending their customers and serving them. The rest of the area was dedicated to the dance floor where people were dancing like crazy.

The first floor of the pub had arrangements in a way that a group of friends can hang out together as there were couches and separate tables with chairs around them.

The four people first went to the first floor and they occupied a semi-circle shaped couch with a table in front of it.

They placed their orders.

"This pub is very lively; Mia would have had loved it" David commented looking around the bar.

"Yeah, why did you not ask her to tag along with you? It would have been fun" Carol pouted at him as Mia was a good friend of hers and it would have been fun for her if she was here.

"She is busy with work, so she couldn't make it" David explained.

"Good for her. I really wish I too could move soon to New York." Carol looked at Chance hinting him subtly.

Carol works in Arizona; she handles the Arizona branch of 'Avenue Real Estate'

She had been wanting to transfer to the New York branch so that she could be around Chance but he was not letting her as he is aware of her feelings towards him and he knows he would never fall for her as he genuinely treated her like a sister.

He already had plans for Carol but he wanted to let her know of them once what he planned for is executed.

Carol was looking at Chance hinting him again about her wish to work in the New York branch but he avoided her and directed his attention towards Samantha.

"Samantha, I just realized death follows you everywhere." Chance decided to tease her to change the awkward atmosphere also he wanted to see how she would react to an accusation like this.

"Excuse me?"

"Yeah, when we were in Hawaii, some guy died there, right?" Chance looked at David for confirmation.

"Yeah, heart attack" David answered him but he was thinking, 'Bastard, what an amazing actor you are, killing them and blaming her for it?'

"Right, and now this woman died, Samantha are you the one killing these people?" Chance smirked at her, waiting for her reply.

David was trying hard to control his laughter as the murderer himself was accusing an innocent person of murder and that too so confidently.

"Well, I am not sure if I am the only one death is following. If I am not wrong you and David too were present at both these places. What if Mr Chance you are the one behind these murders?" Samantha decided to turn the tables against him.

David was shocked when he heard her words and he looked at Chance but instead of being scared or offended, he had a huge grin on his face.

'This bastard is a psycho' David thought to himself.

Chance knew Samantha didn't mean it but unknowingly she actually hit the bull's eyes. 

He felt very proud of her and wanted to pat her on the head to praise her but instead he lied, "Hmm, but I couldn't have been the murderer" He said it as if he was saying the truth.

David was completely enjoying this conversation of theirs and was curious who will say what. 

"Oh, why so?" Samantha raised her eyebrows.

"I am suffering from Foniasophobia, so I can never kill anyone" Chance confidently told her.

David: ""

David wanted to spout blood when he heard his words. 

Chance was really using this phobia completely to his advantage.

"Hmm, both the times when the murder happened, I was with you. In Hawaii we were in the bar together when that guy died and today, I was in the conference room with you all when that woman died. You are my alibi Mr. Chance. How can I be the murderer?" Samantha put some logical points forward as she indeed didn't kill those two people.

Chance brightly smiled at her as she was perfectly using what all happened, to her own advantage, "Alibi and all? Seems you are into detective novels and movies."

"Yes, I am"

Chance wished to have more such conversations with Samantha when their phones buzzed, they received a message from the organizing committee, informing them that Ms. Garcia indeed died of cardiac arrest and they are now free to act according to their will.

Chance proudly smiled at David, saying, 'I told you'

David was very happy and he exclaimed "Awesome, we don't have to go back by midnight"

"So, what are your plans?" Samantha asked the three people and they all shared when they were planning to leave.

Just then their drinks were served. They had some random conversation where mostly David was the one talking. The four people kept ordering more and more drinks and they were having fun.

Then Carol and Chance went to the dance floor. Chance was reluctant to go with her but he already upset her a lot so this time he agreed.

Taking advantage of being alone with Samantha, David informed her of how much Chance loves her.

He knew Chance very well and he knows everything about him, so he understood how much Samantha indeed means to him, so he told her the truth of Chance's side.

He was careful to not slip his tongue and not mention the other side of Chance as Samantha herself is very smart. Chance can manipulate her but David can't, so he was very careful with his words and with what he said.

And on the other side, Chance was trying to explain to Carol on why he can never think about her in any other way and can only be a good friend to her.

Unexpectedly the next moment, Carol held Chance's face between her two hands, and she leaned towards him for a kiss. 

Chance was an assassin and his reflexes were very strong, he was not startled by Carol's actions and he quickly held her shoulders and stopped her before her face could get any closer to his.

"Carol, behave yourself" Chance shouted at her by gently pushing her away from him, still holding her shoulders, he was very angry right now.

She was not listening to him so he dragged her away from the dance floor. He scolded her for her actions.

Chance has a threshold point, if anyone crosses it no matter who that person is or how important they are, once that threshold is crossed, he doesn't give a damn about anything else and clearly draws the line.

In situations like these he doesn't care how harsh or rude he is with that person but he clearly tells them his stand.

He did the same with Carol and gave her his final warning. 

Carol started crying after hearing his harsh words.
