My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

Chapter 177: Manipulate

"Dude, I had been waiting when you will hand this can to me, thanks" Jack patted David's shoulder and drank the can in one shot.

"I just love this beer" Jack exclaimed and within twenty seconds, he fell in a deep slumber, sleeping on the car's back seat.

Chance and David looked at him, with regret in their eyes, "I hate involving him in this plan today" Chance exclaimed sadly while following Isaac's car.

"Hmm, but we have no choice. Jack should never find out the truth, we are doing this for his own safety" David too was not happy about it but he, Isaac and Chance can't leave this party, without Jack as it would look suspicious.

Therefore, David mixed a strong sleeping medicine in this beer before giving it to Jack. 

He won't wake up for another six hours due to this medicine.

"Hmm, in a way it is good Jack would be with us. He should be at least physically present while we kill Lucas' killer" Chance commented.

"True, I agree. In future, if he ever finds out the truth, he might regret not knowing who killed Lucas."

David and Chance then continued following Isaac's car without making their presence obvious.

In Isaac's car

Isaac and Edwin were having a casual chat.

"So, what did you want to talk about? It is something about Carol, if I am not wrong." Isaac asked him.

"I just wanted to say, although I spent less time with Carol, she is a nice person and I hope you will keep her happy forever" Edwin was just buying some time by smooth talking.

'You won't be able to keep her happy forever, Mr Grim Reaper. Tonight, you are going to die in my hands. Poor Carol' These were Edwin's true thoughts.

"This you could have just said in front of other people, why did you insist on meeting me alone?" Isaac was unaffected by Edwin's acting.

"Just felt uncomfortable talking in front of them. Please, take a right from here" 

"Why right? Aren't we supposed to go straight according to the address you shared with me earlier?" Isaac suspiciously questioned him but he still took a right.

"This is actually a shortcut" Edwin nervously laughed. 

He prepared a plan to kill GR in a very short span, so he was in a bit hurry and made an abrupt plan. 

He could have waited for a few days to kill him with a proper plan but since the moment Samantha confirmed Isaac is GR, he was not feeling at peace until he kills him.

Therefore, Edwin decided to kill Isaac tonight itself. Before he approached Isaac, he asked Samantha for her opinion and she too gave her support and asked him to go for it. 

He even requested her to join him in killing Isaac but she refused as she didn't wish to hurt a close friend of Chance.

So, Edwin decided to go on this war alone. He believed Isaac has no idea who he is, therefore he has the upper hand and he can easily kill him.

"I have been living in New York since my childhood, but I never heard of this shortcut" Isaac indirectly taunted him.

"Haha, but you, rich people might not visit these areas" Edwin awkwardly smiled.

"True, this area is for the poorest of the poor" Isaac didn't leave a chance in insulting this man.

Isaac then kept driving following Edwin's directions, who smiled in victory seeing his plan successfully unfold.

They headed towards an old city hall area, which was abandoned and dark.

"You sure you live here?" Isaac looked doubtful and slowed down his car.

Edwin smirked in victory and took out a knife from his pocket but the next minute, Isaac suddenly opened his side of the car door and jumped from the moving car.

The car kept moving and Edwin looked around his surroundings in confusion as he was trying to process what just happened. 

When he turned around, he saw Isaac standing up and smiling at him evilly dusting his suit.

'Fuck, he knows?' Edwin got scared thinking what if this car has bomb in it, so he too opened his side of the door and jumped.

The car stopped when it hit a wall.

Edwin looked at Isaac in shock when Isaac pointed a gun at him.

"You know the drill" Isaac shouted loudly.

Edwin raised his hands in air and sat on his knees.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck, I am doomed' He thought.

"Good" Isaac smiled in victory and stepped towards Edwin.

"Why did you kill Lucas?" Isaac didn't waste any time in explaining himself and directly came on point.

"I am an assassin; I received a contract to kill him" Edwin answered him and spoke as a matter-of-fact.

At the back of his mind, he was already thinking of a plan on how to tackle Isaac.

"No, you didn't. If you got a contract to kill him, then the organization for whom you are working would have known. Which means, this was a personal mission" Isaac said.

Edwin smirked at him, "You know what, Mr Grim Reaper? You will never know the conspiracy behind Lucas' murder."

Isaac frowned as he didn't expect Edwin to suddenly act like this, also he didn't see this new twist coming.

Until now, he followed the script, Chance prepared but the word 'conspiracy' stunned him.

Taking advantage of Isaac's distraction, Edwin held both of Isaac's feet and flipped him around.

Isaac fell hard on the ground.

Edwin grabbed the gun from Isaac's hand, without wasting any time, he pulled the trigger.

He pulled the trigger multiple times with the intention of shooting back-to-back bullets at Isaac but he was confused when he realized the gun was empty and had no bullets in it.

Edwin looked at the barrel, only to see it was empty but suddenly he was pushed from behind and he fell on the ground, lying next to Isaac.

Isaac smiled looking at the man, who just arrived there.

David forwarded his hand towards Isaac to help him stand up.

Edwin frowned in surprise seeing David there.

"You"

"He is not the man you are looking for" David informed the confused looking Edwin.

"He is the one" David moved from Edwin's line of sight.

Edwin furrowed his eyebrows in shock when he looked at Chance walk towards him. 

Unlike earlier, Chance was wearing his shirt and pants, he left his suit jacket in the car.

Edwin didn't understand why David said, Chance was the one he is looking for. 

The next second realization was drawn upon him and he widened his eyes in shock.

"Grim Reaper" Edwin managed to stand up as David just pushed him and didn't harm in any way.

"We finally meet, Brimstone" 

An evil smiled was painted on Chance's lips.

"No, no, this can't be. You are not the Grim Reaper, he, he is the Grim Reaper" Edwin pointed at Isaac.

"Why does it matter who is the Grim Reaper?" Chance asked him, "You are anyway going to die today"

"No, you have some phobia, right?"

The three men laughed at him as if they heard some joke.

"Are you serious?" Chance questioned him.

"So, it was all a lie? You are actually" Edwin asked.

"Hmm, I am your death, Grim Reaper" 

"You, you can't do this to Sam. She believes you; she trusts you. If she ever knows you are GR, she will be heart broken. How can you do this to her?" Edwin was about to hold Chance's shirt collar but Chance was quicker as he held that man's both the hands tightly in his one hand and punched him in the face.

"Yeah, let her heart be broken, let her suffer in pain" Chance said surprising Isaac and David.

'So, he is playing with Samantha's feelings.' This thought enraged Edwin.

"What the hell? How dare you say that? Do you even know how much she loves you?" Edwin was agitated at what Chance said and glared at him with a murderous glint.

"To reach you, I played with her feelings. I pretended like I had been in love with her all this while only to catch you. I am glad she fell for me and even helped me to bring you here" Chance smirked at him.

Edwin felt pain when he heard Chance's words.

"She helped you?"

"Hmm, she did. She lied Isaac is the Grim Reaper"

"No, that's not possible. If she knew you were the Grim Reaper, she herself would have killed you. Which means you manipulated her" Edwin concluded.

"Hmm, I did" Chance didn't deny it.

"You bastard, she is like a sister to me. How dare you play with my sister's feelings? How dare you manipulate her?" Edwin ran towards him furiously but Chance dodged his attack and kicked Edwin in his stomach.

"You think you have the right to say this?" Chance held Edwin's collar and punched him in his face multiple times, while shooting a few questions at him.
