My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 95: Is She Even Worth It?

"By the way, my real name is Chance Torres. I was adopted my uncle whose last name was Miller and therefore I ended up being Chance Miller"

Bill nodded his head, "Understood, what do you prefer?"

"Miller, I am used to it now"

"Okay" Bill felt a weird kind of peace after knowing all of this.

Maybe because he realized Samantha is now in safer hands. Honestly he was a bit worried if Chance would be able to take care of her, if he would still love her in spite of knowing her truth but now, after knowing Chance himself is Grim Reaper, he was relieved.

The two men he was considering for his daughter turned out to be the same man.

Bill laughed at how fate was playing with them but he was glad as finally good things were happening to his daughter.

Chance went back to his home as he took leave from work, and after talking to Bill, he felt peaceful and just wanted to rest at home doing nothing.

That day he and Samantha had dinner in peace and they decided to watch a movie, to spend more time together.

Just like the day before, Samantha was in a gloomy mood and she was calm, she didn't talk much and she only nodded her head to whatever Chance said.

He understood she was feeling upset as she still believed Bill is making arrangements to fake their deaths and was obviously unaware of how Chance already dealt with this problem.

He killed the problem at its roots and didn't let it grow on them.

Chance requested Bill to not tell Samantha about the change in their plans so suddenly as she might get suspicious of them which Bill to agreed with, so he decided to let this week pass and then to tell her about how he changed the plan of faking their deaths.

This way the next two days passed and it was already Friday, the day Chance's friends were supposed to land in San Diego.

Chance quickly finished all his work, and in the evening, he went to the airport to receive them all. 

He bought gifts for them as suggested by David and was waiting for the five people at the airport.

The five people appeared in a few minutes and although they all tried to be upset with Chance and to torture him but as soon as they saw him, they couldn't contain their excitement and one by one everyone greeted and hugged him.

Carol was still upset with him and glared at him in anger which Chance ignored.

Then he took them all to the seven-star hotel where he booked a big suite for them which had four bedrooms, a hall and a kitchen. It was just like a mini-apartment.

The five people were impressed with this arrangement.

"You seemed to have spent a lot of money it seems" Abigail taunted him.

"Hmm, it is nothing in front of my valuable friends" Chance tried to butter them up which they saw through but were happy.

"Why are we not living at your place?" Carol was disappointed to know he arranged a suite for them as she was hoping to stay at his place, closer to him.

"It is small, can't accommodate all of us" Although it was true, the real reason is he wanted his own space and didn't want all his friends to startle Samantha.

"Yeah, we understand" David teased him as he knew the real reason behind his actions.

David was aware of how Chance bought a house next to Samantha's. The owner of that house was very annoying and didn't sell it, so David blackmailed them and handled that issue. Except for David, no one else knew Chance and Samantha were living next to each other.

"But we definitely want to visit the place" Mia requested Chance.

"Guys, this house is not like the one I have in New York, it is a normal-sized apartment, big enough for me. There is nothing interesting about it." Chance wanted to avoid them and David teasingly smiled seeing Chance try so harder.

"Why are you living in an apartment? It is so unlike you" Jack couldn't believe the guy who needs his comforts and rich lifestyle was compromising so suddenly.

"It is just temporary; in a few months I'll buy a new land and will build my home the way I want" Chance shared his plans.

"So confident that Samantha will be yours in a few months?" David whispered in a low volume so that others can't hear him.

"Yes" Chance confidently answered him.

"Hey Chance, what are our plans for the weekend, I am really hoping you planned something amazing to make up for your actions?" Abigail questioned him.

"Of course, I did, there is a camping site, around one hour away from here. We can go there early in the morning, camp there and by Sunday afternoon we can be back home. At night you will be returning back to New York." Chance shared what he planned for them.

"Wow, I can't believe you planned all of this" Mia taunted him.

"Hey, I planned the Hawaii trip too, have you forgotten?" Chance felt wronged by Mia's accusation.

Suddenly, they all turned silent and looked at each other, Hawaii trip triggered something in them and they were not sure on how to discuss this topic which they had in their minds for a long time.

Chance could sense the awkwardness amongst his friends.

"What happened guys? Is everything alright?" 

"Chance, don't feel bad that I am saying this, but don't you think you are putting way too much efforts for Samantha? I mean, is she even worth it?" Mia asked him and everyone except for David curiously looked at Chance.

Although they all liked Samantha in the short time they spent together, they didn't like the fact that she was making Chance suffer so much.

They don't know the reality and had no idea what was going on, they only saw this scenario as Chance a rich businessman being in love with a small-time florist. He was putting efforts for her and she was ignoring him.

This made Carol, Mia, Abigail and Jack dislike Samantha.

They felt bad for their friend who was acting like a lovestruck fool.

"She is an amazing woman guys and what I am doing for her is honestly nothing." Chance tried to calmly explain.

"But what is so amazing about her? I mean I know she is very pretty but Chance only because she is good looking, you will act like this?" Abigail questioned him.

"Seriously? That's what you think of me? Don't you know me well?" Chance countered her.

"Chance, you have hooked up with many girls and had your share of flings, can't you just give up on this one and continue like that?" Jack too tried to convince him to give up on Samantha.

"Jack, Samantha is not like any other woman I met. I love her and if everything falls into place, I even want to marry her" Chance made his stand very clear.

"Chance, you just met her and you already want to marry her, that's a bit ridiculous" Mia exclaimed in anger.

"Why not? I know she is the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. I don't want anyone else"

Chance's honest words, hurt Carol very deeply.

Mia and Abigail felt bad for her and they tried to put more sense into Chance, "Chance you are acting like a man blindly in love"

"David, why are you not asking Mia to marry her?" Chance instead of replying to Mia, questioned David.

David who was a silent spectator to this discussion, was startled when Chance suddenly pulled him into this discussion.

He knew everything about Chance and Samantha but couldn't share it with anyone else so he just kept quiet but now he was shocked by Chance's question.

"Chance, it is none of your business" David answered him after composing himself.

He had no idea what wrong did he do to be abused like this by Chance.

Chance then looked at his friends, "Similarly, it is none of your business guys. You can't decide how I would lead my life. I am sure you all have your own problems to take care of, so please focus on that" Chance warned them all coldly.

The atmosphere suddenly turned awkward as they were not sure what else to say after how Chance made things so clear to them.

"Anyway, Carol are you liking working from the main branch?" Chance changed the topic and instead decided to check with Carol on how she is doing.

"No, the reason I wanted to shift there was gone, so it was just the same as Arizona, there was no difference" Her sarcastic reply made the atmosphere more awkward.

"You all must be tired from travelling, rest for some time, I'll join you guys for dinner" Chance decided to head home for some time as he felt he was done with them.
