I think she is winning their trust if I am right to say she was caught faking her identity as a secretary. We both know she can do more than an assistant or secretary position job," Jack was beyond convinced Brianna is going through something, although he cannot ask her right now to confirm his assumptions.
She can be very convincing in everything she does if she puts her focus into whatever it may be. And this time, Jack assumes Brianna is doing her very best to execute her revenge served cold."Then why would she be out there in her real face?" Charles asked, still irritated.Who wouldn't be? He lost a few of his top-notched mercenary men because of her. She is becoming a hindrance. If she keeps being so, Charles will have to take her down as well."Maybe because she didn't have a chance to conceal it when they got into the road accident that day," Jack knew BriannaRelated chapters
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 39. Doubting Her
Tatum drove the car to where Brianna was holding the guy restrained. Lucien wanted to help, but Brianna restricted him. She was waiting for anything Tatum would give her to tie the captive up securely."Sir, please get in the car. We will put this guy in the trunk, and we will head out," Brianna stated. But Lucien did not comply. He stood there watching every move she made.She skillfully tied the man with a rope. Tatum helped to lift the guy into the trunk, but both Lucien and Tatum were taken by surprise when Brianna checked the guy's mouth for something and pulled out of it a capsule."What's that?" Asked an amused Lucien."Cyanide capsule, sir," Brianna nonchalantly answered."You mean a poison?" Lucien asked again. He could not believe what and how she just said it like it was very common knowledge to know for everyone and only he did not get the notice. Lucien looked up at Tatum, questioning. But Tatum was eq

Enzo was inwardly taken aback by what she had just said. He is known to be unpredictable and unreadable, but he felt naked in front of this lady, Anna. She is too sharp to point his reactions like it was too obvious not to notice.But he was also impressed that she did not make it sound like she was offended. She even stated it like she was praising him for being calculative to a stranger like her. Her answer also made sense. Why would she come all the way around here if her target is the young Michaelson? Noticing how the latter trusted her already, there is no need for the lady to come this far. She could have taken him as a hostage and ask the old Michaelson for anything, and she could get whatever she would ask in exchange for the Young Michaelson's life.So, all in all, his doubts were useless and unnecessary.He cleared his throat before he replied to Lucien."My apologies," Enzo slightly nodded his head to Briann
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 41. More than just a Secretary
Just as they were about to walk up to see the old Michaelson, they were all shaken by a loud sound. Brianna quickly jumped at Lucien to cover him. She can tell it was a bomb. She quickly looked around to check from which direction did the sound came from."Damn it!" She grunted. "I should have checked him thoroughly."Brianna saw the guy she painstakingly brought for questioning blow himself off. He must have had a bomb hidden in his body for instances like he was in. Brianna overlooked that idea when she saw the cyanide. She thought that was the only thing the guy had with him to commit suicide, avoiding torture and questioning. She just realized they would never allow such things to happen if they had any chances."I should have questioned him first," she knocked her head.Lucien was still beneath her as she secured the place for any other invasion before she stood up and grabbed the bag with everything she picked for
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 42. Fate Playing Its Part
"It's a shame I didn't get to meet her today," Leandro Michaelson grunted in disappointment as he waited for Lucien to get into his study room.The old Michaelson was looking so much forward to meeting Anna. But when he saw how persistent she was to leave and hunt those that had been chasing them ever since this morning, seeing how she even pointed a gun and made a warning shot to Tatum Elliot, the Mafia King was convinced this girl was not someone to be taken lightly. Leandro should be scared, noticing she is too capable despite her gender, despite her petite, very feminine physique and beauty. But seeing and realizing that she was after the jackasses who wanted to harm his grandson, he could not oppose. As a matter of fact, he did not want to disagree. He even refused to be against the idea. Her victory or failure will benefit his grandson, one way or another. Besides, he did not give the order. She was the one dead set on going after the enemy. He could make it
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 43. Grateful and Hateful
Brianna seemed to know exactly where to go and hunt her enemies. She swiftly arrived at a neighborhood where no one would ever have even the single doubt that a group of assassins for hire are living like every ordinary individual in the community. She parked her car from a distance and waited till dark covered the place. She cannot barge in with a clear view of her, walking into the building. As she waited, she also tried to familiarize herself with the possible ways she could make to enter the place of her target.It was a five-floor building. The first floor is a convenience store. The rest of the floors were studio-type rooms for rent according to the signage on the front wall of the building. But Brianna doubts that the room for rent sign is just a front, or maybe, it's an old signboard that these assassins did not bother to remove when they got the place for themselves.Brianna paused for a while."Why do I seem to know so much ab

Brianna moved according to her plans. She skillfully moved from the rooftop of the building she got into. It was early in the evening. Residents inside their homes must have been busy preparing for their respective dinners while working people must still be on their way home that the coast was clear for Brianna to get to where she was heading. She used the fire exit stairway to avoid the surveillance camera in the hallways and inside the lift. It is common for some residents who live on the lower floors to take the stairs than wait for the elevator, so it wouldn't have been too catchy if she chose the stairs to climb up."Send men to follow her carefully. If they need to do as she does, do it," Lucien ordered. "Do we have any idea how many people are present in the target area?""Negative, Sir," Tatum replied. "We have no way to check the number of people inside the building of target. And our men will enter the building from different directions
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 45. Direct Order
Jack was still waiting for Brianna and Lucien Michaelson to come back ever since they left, thinking they just went to have their lunch when Charles Anderson made a call. But he felt alarmed with the cruel old man's threat towards Brianna that he went home to his control room. It is a room filled with different screen monitors, which Jack uses to check everything and every angle of the areas he is trying to view. And right now, he was so desperate more than ever to find his little sister Brianna Peters. He needs to warn her that Charles might give an order to put a bullet on her head if she keeps blowing their missions off. Jack Foster did not know where or how to find her, but he still has to try."Oh God, help me find B as soon as possible," Jack folded his hands atop his nose as he closed his eyes and solemnly prayed. Not that he is a religious person, but he felt like he absolutely needed a miracle right now. He must have put heart, the purest portion of his h
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 46. A Clear Warning
Everyone in the room did not dare chase her. The men surrounding Charles checked on him where he got shot.The team leader was frightened to realize that the bullet hit the man only an inch to his heart! He knew because that is one of their skills. As mercenaries, they are to know the fatal points of their targets. And he was sure that shot was an unequivocal warning. She said her piece and made a clear proof she wasn't just kidding around. Had she wanted to kill Charles, there was no stopping her from shooting the old man right into his heart, but she still left an inch to keep him alive.They are almost convinced she was the Big B, Boss B, that they knew. They have never seen her face clearly as she would always wear a cap covering almost half her face whenever they are all together. She would cover her face with black paint when they are on a mission that even without a cap, she is unrecognizable. But today, they saw a face with her hair neatly tied

The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN Epilogue
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! A tip just came in; that place is

“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
