101. A Cute Argument
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56An hour passed. Their lunch break was over, but Brianna did not make a move to speak with the lady she was assuming was the person she was supposed to meet with in this place today. She had a few messages, but she deliberately did not check on them as soon as they arrived.
"I'm here. Where are you?"Brianna did not reply. "You should have told me you weren't coming if so. You don't know how difficult it is for me to move around."Brianna did not reply either. But she smiled at the message. It somehow confirms her assumptions of who this person was. It would be difficult for someone in a wheelchair to be moving around. "You don't know how long I have prayed for someone to find me, and here you are. Without even the slightest assurance you are who you say you are, I gathered all courage left in me to come out. But you did not show up."Brianna asked Jack if he had found anything about the person she asked him to check the background.Related chapters

“You’re not allowed to move on your own. Do you understand?” Brianna reminded Lucien as they were gearing up. “Yes, boss,” Lucien responded comically. “I am not kidding,” Brianna clenched her teeth as she spoke with her eyes squinted. “Come on! Don’t let me bother you, okay? I will be careful and ready,” Lucien kept his smile, but he replied gently. Brianna was annoyed at herself. She could just do what Lucien said, but it was not settling well with her. She also knows this man is not stupid, but her mind has this silly instinct to protect this man, knowing they are going on a mission. Besides, there is also a good reason to be confident. They were not going into the spot unprepared or blindly. The backup was on standby. The area has been searched, and though there seemed to be a security measure installed and actively used in the house they were going to visit, their team has already dealt with lifting the alarm to make Brianna and Lucien’s entrance unnoticed. The security syste

"Not that I am scared because I am okay to die as long as it's with you by my side, but I suggest you slow down, B…abe!" Lucien yelled as he slid to the door side of his seat beside Brianna. They were passing by a sharp curb on the road, but the person behind the steering wheel did not adjust the speed to slow. The speed was not comparable to one on a race, and for the person holding the steering wheel, it wouldn't be anything noticeable, but to the one seated on the passenger's seat, the velocity would make the person slide to the sides, according to the car's movements."Babe?!" Brianna sneered. "Do I look like a cute little pig to you, huh?"Brianna won't feel offended with being called Bitch since her enemies would usually know her name as B, Big B, or Boss B, but she does not like being called Baby because it doesn't fit her; no baby sho

The two, Brianna and Lucien, walked cautiously and stealthily. The dogs were calm, but they still had to be careful. The main door was not among the options of getting into the house, so Brianna led Lucien to the side of the house where a balcony was facing a garden with concrete railing wide enough for a pot to be placed on the corner pillars. It was easier to climb since there was somewhere to step their foot on as they grabbed hold and climbed up."Watch your steps, okay?" Brianna reminded Lucien in a hushed tone."Okay."Lucien was determined to do as he said earlier. He did not speak when he wasn't asked. Even when he replied in response to her asking to remind her why he was here, he was ready to retort and say he just answered her question if she reacted differently to his answer. But as her next words were not something he needed to answer, he kept his mouth shut.Brianna felt weird to hear this blabbering man suddenly become one-word respondi

Brianna did not say anything. Her poker-faced look did not reveal whatever reaction, impression, or thoughts were playing in her mind. She did not show any cautiousness, but she was not showing signs of familiarity or any sort of comfortability. But the woman in the wheelchair was so carefree and confident that no harm was being brought to her by the guests she was somehow warmly welcoming.Lucien quietly observed the flow of the conversation between the two ladies. He was also observant of the atmosphere and mood of the surroundings. In Lucien's understanding and observations, the lady of the house was somehow confident that he and Anna were not going to do anything violent or anything she won't be able to defend herself with, despite the fact that she was in a wheelchair.He looked around the study room. Nothing but a few portraits of paintings in different sizes were hanging on the wall. No matter how Lucien checked the place for anything unusual, he could n

Jack, who was listening over the line as Sam speaks, along with the Michaelson's IT team, was checking details as far and as deep as they could gather. They found out her story fits a female marine who was shot in the back too close to her spinal cord and became unable to stand and walk."Can you ask why she is being targeted to the extent of wanting her dead?" Jack guided Brianna and Lucien on what to ask.Brianna remained silent, so Lucien punched in the question casually."Why would they want you dead?""Because I was the only one who they know saw a group of prominent people having a meeting, and I took photos which were automatically saved in a memory folder and sent to an account only I could access. They got my camera, but as I fell when I got shot, it was smashed to the ground. They took the memory card but were surprised when a picture of them still came out to the public eye. So they hunted me down," Same replied calmly."These people w

"If only I can, I want this Clayton of a devil driven out to hell!" Sam scoffed. "My mind and my heart are willing, but my body cannot follow what commands my mind can conceive. It's such a shame," she added.Since Brianna got into the room, she opened her mouth to speak for the first time."Do you have a plan?"Sam paused. She gazed at Brianna for quite a while. Sam could not deny the confidence in the young Peters' tone. She was somehow taken aback. Sam knew Brianna Peters as a smart child. But Sam did not know how this girl grew up. She checked Brianna like a profiler and tried to read the girl's personality. In Sam's eyes, she can see a fierce-spirited girl who is willing to do anything to achieve a goal she had set herself into doing. But aside from that, Sam could not tell anything else. So she asked."Where were you all this time? You were too young when everything happened, but I am not going to doubt if you say you can remember them. But you could

"Are you safe in here?" Brianna asked Sam, looking around. "Do you mind if I leave a few men of my team to assist you?"Sam stared at Brianna. It was as if she was checking any hidden message on what Brianna had just said. Brianna saw the hesitation in Sam's mien, so she made herself clear. She wasn't thinking about playing dirty games."You can look at it this way. They will be here to assist you if you remain to be as what you tell us of who you are, but if you turn sides or if it turns out that this is all just another trap, they will be the one to seize you. May I remind you, I have been played almost all my life after my parents' untimely death. I can't help being cautious after all I have been through. If you are confident we are on the same boat, I guess you don't have to worry about anything. You should feel more protected because they will put their lives to keep you safe," Brianna did not avoid Sam's eyes as she stated her lengthy piece."I see,"

Just as Lucien had anticipated, Anna was about to leave before the morning twilight. Jack gave her the information she needed, and she was planning on going out on her own since there was nothing much to be done just yet. Brianna was only thinking about taking a peek and familiarizing herself with her target’s routine, just in case he turned out to be her big hunt.Brianna was about to leave without notifying anyone, so she quietly jumped off her window. It was too low to jump as the Villa was built with a single floor.“What the f…” Brianna frowned when she almost bumped with someone who seemed to stand up from squatting on the side of her room’s window. She was not scared. She was annoyed. She almost unsheathed her leg knife. But she recognized the scent of the person next to her, despite the darkness covering the whole surroundings.“I almost thought I was wrong,” Lucien chuckled. He had been waiting in this spot eve

Five years later. “Babe, don’t tire yourself so much,” Lucien reminded Brianna lovingly. “How is our little Anna doing today?” he asked with his warm hands rubbing on Brianna’s six months pregnant belly. “I am not really sure. But I have no doubts she is too eager to see the outside world. She has been kicking my ribs inside as if trying to push her way out even before her due!” Brianna blew a breath as she answered. Lucien laughed happily at the cute face of his lovely wife who somehow looked complaining. “Babe, I noticed that your mood swings during this pregnancy and the first one, with Caleb, are so different. Could it be because their genders are also different? With Caleb, you were as tough as usual, but with our little girl, Abigail, you are so… Uhmmm, so…. How do I say this?” Lucien scratched his head as if searching for the exact but safe word to say not to provoke his pregnant wife. “Come on, tell me. I am so what, huh?” Brianna asked with a sweet smile. Her face looked

“And in respect to Anna’s parents, I wish to move their graves into a mausoleum only for the Peters; the parents and grandparents. And as soon as we’ve done so, we will hold a ceremony to honor them,” Leandro declared. “What do you say about these thoughts of mine, Anna? I really hope I do not offend you in any way, because with all my heart, I swear, I only have the purest desire to express my gratitude that they brought you into this world and now you become a part of our family, that also makes your family ours, just like our family is also yours.”Silence filled the whole room. The question was directed to Brianna, so their eyes all turned to look at her as they waited to hear what she would say in response to Leandro’s words that were said with heartfelt sincerity. Brianna was silent not because she was feeling so emotional. Brianna was inwardly checking her heart and thoughts as well as her intuitive response, in silence. Guarding her mind against any misunderstanding or miscal

Brianna and Lucien arrived earlier than Sandra and Levi. It was because Sandra wanted to buy something for Anna, Sandra’s soon-to-be daughter-in-law, and also something for her father-in-law, Leandro Michaelson. There was nothing to worry bout since the war had already subsided and there were more than enough men to assist the couple with security or anything they would ever need. Enzo welcomed the young couple, Brianna and Lucien, as soon as they arrived at the mansion. Leandro sent the helicopter to fetch Enzo right after Leandro and Andy were dropped off at his yard. Lucien did not say anything, but Enzo understood the curious look on his young Master’s face as to why it was not the same as usual. Leandro would always wait for Lucien and Brianna by the door whenever the patriarch knew of their arrival. “The Master has a guest. They are in the study room and he is asking for your presence as well,” Enzo answered as he led the couple to where Leandro, Andy, and their guest were at

While the rest of the world was in tumult, the men on the Michaelsons' private army along with Brianna’s team subdued the whole barracks and gather every useful piece of evidence to solidify the cases against Terrence Clayton. The Michaelsons team found out there were more grave reasons why the ex-Vice President wanted the whole place burned down. “Sir, there seemed to be a lot of hidden bundles of money on one of the installed container vaults covered in military cloth to make it appear and look like it was only one of the stocks containers,” Captain Lexus Bordeaux reported when they started to search the whole property for anything they could find useful. “There is no way one can create a legal document to explain such a large sum of money, so Clayton must have kept them there,” Andy scoffed. “And there wouldn’t have been any way his under-the-table deals would pay him other than by cash,” Leandro also scorned. “Do not touch anything, just take photos and secure the surroundings

Blake assigned Finn and Hoggins to cover him by looking at their surroundings as his watchmen while he focused his attention on the target he was after according to the order given for him to execute. Blake had to look up most of the time to locate the shooter so he was relieved two of his comrades who already knew the drills and what they were supposed to do in this situation were with him to rely on. “Boss, these men are wearing a different uniform from ours. I believe they are not on the same side with us. What do I do?” Blake reported in a whispering tone as soon as he got the assurance that his information was accurate. “Take them down. Alive if possible, injured or not. But don’t hesitate to shoot if they try to resist and fight back!” Brianna answered. “Yes, Boss!” Blake answered. He gave Ramil Finn and Andrew Hoggins a signal on what to do and they acted accordingly. Hoggins took the east and south directions to secure. Finn took the other two directions while Blake Gordon

“Don Leon, the barracks in the forest is about to be abolished. Whether there are people in it or none, the order was made, and Terrence Clayton’s minions are on the move as we speak. If you have your men in there, tell them to pull out. Especially if your grandson and his wife are there, I strongly suggest you inform them of this message immediately!” The caller was using a voice synthesizer, so it was unrecognizable if the caller was a man or a woman. “Let me know who you are, whether what you say is the truth or just a prank; I want to thank you for this length of effort to notify me; let me return the favor one day,” Leandro wisely replied. “I will come to find you in person one day, then you will know who you are, and I will personally ask for your help. But for now, we don’t have time. Tell your men to pull out!” That was all they heard before the line was cut. “Tatum Eliott, leave the area right away. I repeat, leave the area right now!

“What are all of these?” Lucien asked looking at a slideshow of files with word documents and images. “Isn’t that the address of the warehouse where we found the human organ harvesting? Are these papers the legal documents of property ownership?” “Yes! And someone sent me this file after I failed to hack into their firewall!” Jack answered with a victorious laugh. “Wait…! The ownership is under the name of… Will somebody zoom that part where the name is printed and signed?!” Leandro frowned as he also tried to read the content of the document on the wide screen in front of him and Andy Lockwood. “Terrence Clayton!?”Andy, Leandro, Lucien, and Jack almost read and uttered the name aloud in unison. Brianna scoffed. In her thoughts, “got ya!” was bouncing although her facial expressions remained as calm as always. “How did you get this? Are you sure they are legit?” Brianna asked calmly instead of showing her pure delight. She still wanted to make sure they weren’t rejoicing over a f

Then Charles Anderson turned to the IT team. “I want to see every corner, every area, every exit and entrance of this barracks!” he roared in panic. “Sir, what about the men in the field?” the team leader asked cautiously after nodding in response to the command given. “Forget them, they are no longer of any use now that the enemy has its hands on them,” Charles answered waving his right hand dismissively. “I want to see if the ones I am after would grace me with their mighty presence,” Charles murmured as he busily looked at every screen. “I am not so sure they would choose to join their team to attack me back for gatecrashing their wedding but knowing the bride too well, I won’t be surprised if I see her face coming for me at this moment.” Charles keenly observed every angle on every screen. He was tracing Brianna’s figure among the intruders. They were all in full gear, but knowing Brianna for more than a decade, Charles Anderson could tell even her shadow. And he was more tha

As soon as Blake Gordon activated the jammer, the sniper team Charles had sent to attack the resort hotel, where Brianna Peters and Lucien Michaelson’s wedding was supposed to be being held, got disconnected and unreachable for Charles and the few men with him that controlled their overall internet connections and communication. “What the fuck is going on?!” Charles asked the man he knew was the most active in every inquiry Charles would make. “Get them back online!” Charles Anderson was furious beyond words but he was not very much familiar with everyone around him at the moment, so he was aware he could not act like he would usually do when he was with Jack and the rest of the men under his command.“Sir, something must be wrong from their end of the network,” the man seated in front of the computer hesitantly uttered. “What is that supposed to mean?!” Charles snarled.The poor IT guy cringe, but he had no choice other than clarify his words.“I tried to reach out to them but the
