2024-10-29 19:42:56The team members sat crossed legs on the floor around the coffee table. Blake ordered Finn to report what he was able to know about the area and showed the map to Brianna. Lucien and Tatum were watching behind, standing next to the sofa chairs. Brianna remained in her seat ever since she spoke to the team.
Blake called each one with anything to report and presented what they have for Boss B to understand what the mission is expected to be like.Ramil Finn was to run down the details of the routes they were supposed to take.Andrew Hoggins was assigned to prepare the weapons they should prioritize to carry.Max Beckett was assigned to take a sniper post to secure the clearance of their entry. They have to be discrete as much as possible. Having someone who can see the situation ahead of them, even a step only, would be very much beneficial. The rest of the team will have to deal with on-the-spot scenarios.Brianna raised a single eyebrow. She noticed theseRelated chapters

"Sir, where do you think you're going?" Brianna asked Lucien with a frown as he tried to climb up the rental jet the group could provide through the help of the old Michaelson."I am going with you, don't worry, I am not diving. I just want to see as much as possible and make sure you are safe," Lucien decisively answered. But he was blocked by the girl he was dead set on keeping safe."Negative, sir," Brianna replied firmly. "You have to stay here and be safe. They are after you, remember? Going with us is like giving yourself to them in a way.""No, I am going with you," Lucien tried to pass through the girl, but he was startled when she held him with a tight grip on his arm."If you make things difficult for me, I will quit this job with you, right here, right now," Brianna made her voice casual. It was as if she was talking about something as simple as choosing a channel to watch on tv.The men on diving

"Anna is surrounded by tough men and personalities. She is used to it. You have to be you. You have to protect her in a different manner. A different way. It doesn't have to be like showing off muscles. It has to be something that means a lot to her and no one else but you can provide," the grandpa stated gently."How?" Lucien asked with perplexed emotions."What do you think does she needs now? You're a businessman, you will find a way on how to get into her heart. And if you need anything for assistance, this old man will always be right behind you," Leandro patted Lucien's shoulder."She is having a memory loss. But I think this specific memory she wants to forget is so vital and answers a lot if not everything," Lucien murmured. His eyes did not leave the screen. "Please help me find out everything about her past, grandpa..."Leandro nodded. They were sitting side by side, so the old Michaelson tapped his hand
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 62. A Deafening Sound
"Timer starts... now!" Chad Yates' voice was the only one heard over their audio."Go! Go!" Brianna ordered with urgency.She decided to take the front entrance into the building. She had Tatum with her, she was planning to create a diversion so her men could get to where they know the hostages were being held. And when there is anyone bold enough to invade the place through the front door, the other party would usually be caught off-guarded and her team would be able to move quickly and easily.As expected, the people assumed to be guarding the main entrance were taken by surprise and easily subdued. But one was able to run. Brianna knew he was going to alert his comrades about their unexpected guests. But she did not let him go too far, Brianna shoot him in the middle of his nape. He fell down kneeling then dropped on his tummy to the ground.Tatum saw someone trying to aim at Anna while she was shooting the other guy so he

"I finally got you," a baritone voice spoke from a distance. "Tie them up!"The sounds of combat boots walking closer to Brianna would have been too loud, but as the blast still deafened her, she could faintly hear them. Even the sound of the voice that gave the orders came funny to her ears. It sounded like someone who breathed in a gas-filled helium balloon. She almost laughed, but when she looked at Tatum, who seemed dead after the blast, she wasn't sure if he was hit by anything or if he had just lost his consciousness. Brianna could not laugh. Their situation wasn't funny at all. She did not resist, even when she could calculate her moves positive for her to make a hole and disappear. She was worried about leaving her company behind. Tatum Elliott is one of her comrades already since she allowed him in. He became one of her responsibilities the moment she agreed to have his presence around her in this mission. And because of that, Brianna cannot move recklessly and

"Luci, my boy, I have to ask you to pull out," Leandro spoke to Lucien over the microphone. He was panicked, but he did not want to alarm Lucien about what he had just found out. "I am sorry, but I cannot let you go there," he added with a firm tone."I'm sorry, grandpa, this might be the very first time I would fail you," Lucien replied with equal firmness in his tone. "I cannot leave Anna there, whatever reason you may have. That girl saved my life more than once. I have to return that favor not only because I owe her but because I want to. I want to see her alive and well. I want her beside me if I may dare. And..." Lucien paused and sighed."I think I love her, grandpa. I am not even sure what that word means, but I would never be in peace knowing she is in great danger. I may not be as tough as she is, but I want to do my best and get her out of there. Alive if I'm not too late, but if not, I will give her dead body a proper burial, on the lest," L

Leandro knew that military time is beyond the word punctual. He quickly assigned his men to do things accordingly and prepared to leave his mansion. They have heard of the chopper's arrival even from a distance that Leandro came out of the house as soon as he was ready. The IT team was to connect with Jack Foster to join forces and deal with anything concerning information they would need. He also called for the rest of his private army to stand a post on designated areas. His son, Levi's, home and his mansion. His casino is well guarded all the time, so he did not bother sending additional backup. He sent as many men as he could, along with Lucien.The chopper landed in the empty land of Leandro's yard. A soldier walked over to assist the old Michaelson to board the air vehicle and left. Leandro did not even bother bringing a bodyguard with him. He was more than confident he would be in safe hands with Lockwood and his men. Andy is a retired general, and the idea

"Go! Go! Go!" They heard a man's voice over the monitors as soon as they got seated.On the screen, a few troops of soldiers in all black invaded the whole building without hesitations. They were like big black cats walking stealthily into the enemies' lair. They were directed to surround the entire building from all directions, leaving a few men behind while the rest found every possible way to get into the main target of their mission, that is, to save a girl along with a former comrade of them, Tatum Elliott.It had been years since Tatum went on a mission with the team, but they never neglected to send him updates of how things were in the army. Besides, he is also among the top priorities to receive the latest inventions of the weapon research team as he is the personal security personnel of Lucien Michaelson."How many men did you send?" Asked Leandro as he keenly watched the first batch of men to invade the place directly from th

The foolish mistake these men made was not checking Brianna thoroughly. They were scared to get too close to her,taking the example of the one-eyed guy that led their team. They barely managed to put the chain on her when she was still weakened by the robust blast of the explosive that they never thought she would even make it to shoot midair.They were hoping she would be more injured than she came out to be. They were hoping she would be unconscious for a while so that they could tie her up securely as they were fairly warned she is above supreme.Brianna had been slowly moving to unlock the chain in her hands using a pin she always had during her missions. It wasn't obvious to see because Brianna would usually roll it into a ring. And with her hands behind her back and with people around her in front, she was able to do what she needed to do without being noticed. Brianna was buying time to wait for Tatum Elliott to wake up and make

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
