The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 64. Rescue
"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 68. Overwhelming Hatred
The moment Tyler asked about Wesley's men, the one-eyed man, Marco Dobrev, along with his loyal men were fighting for their lives. They were heading to where Wesley was to fight the enemy together and leave the place one way or another. They did not know who was after them, so Marco came also to ask Wesley, his immediate superior. Marco did not care about Tyler, he could die or escape with them, but he wasn't a priority. Soon they arrived at the door where he wanted to be. "Boss!" Marco left his men outside the door and came in to check on his boss, Wesley, only to find him lying on the floor with his blood almost pooling on his sides by the lower extremities. He was about to shoot Brianna, but Tatum quickly moved to disarm him. Tyler and his bodyguard were already dead. Tatum did not waste his time shooting them as soon as they came into the room. But Marco was not someone to surrender as easy as that. He fought hand-in-hand combat with Tatum while Brianna was ask
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 69. Worried for her
Brianna's face frowned at the bitter taste of the antidote in her mouth, but she had to swallow all of it. The taste lingered in her taste buds, but as she was weakened, she could only express herself through her paled face."Make sure not to give me any medications no matter what happens. I only need to be hydrated," Anna uttered so softly before she lost her consciousness.Lucien was worried he might not hear her clear that he moved his ear next to her lips, so closely, in fear he would not get her message clearly. But as everyone was aware and Tatum gave warning glares at everyone who would make a sound, Lucien was definite and certain he heard everything she said clearly, without mistakes. He quickly ordered for an IV fluid to be given to Brianna as soon as she fainted in her arms.Lucien left the place after making sure Anna was securely being transported on a scoop stretcher bed to move her safely to the chopper waiting for Lucien

"She was stabbed with a poisoned knife in the chest to the left, but according to the doctors that her checked, they found out she has Dextrocardia. Which means her heart is to the right side of her chest. Her heart wasn't injured, but the poison had started to get into her system, she had an antidote already, but we are waiting for it to take effect. She told me never to give her any medications no matter what happens, as they would complicate the effect of the antidote. So, I am waiting until she regains her consciousness," Lucien explained with pained expressions. He was against the idea of waiting, but he was also afraid to disobey her orders, which clearly showed she knew what she was doing, although weakening. His instincts strongly demand him to follow Anna's words. Andy and Lucien walked side by side to stand by the foot end of the bed. Andy stared at her face. Lucien walked closer, but Andy froze in his stand. The Michaelson's, Lucien and Leandro, noticed him be
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 71. In good hands
Lucien was overwhelmed by the realization that his grandpa Andy had seen Anna when she was still a baby. It made him feel goosebumps that a man he knew also knew Anna even before they met. It felt like they were somehow to meet somewhere in this lifetime, one way or another. He was so eager to ask for more details, but Andy replied with a sad face."I am so sorry, dear; that's all I can tell you now. I will check my notes and come again when Little Liz regains her consciousness. I want to talk to her, too. I have to ask her for anything she could remember, and maybe we can help her solve her parents' death case," Andy added with his tone conveying extreme sadness. Andy walked to Brianna's side and gently held her hand. "Please get well soon. We have so much to chat about. I want to show you how beautiful your mom is with the old photos I had managed to save over time with me. I even have a picture of you in a princess dress," Andy spoke so lovingly.He

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
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 175. Happy Lives
“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
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 173. Family Dinner
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
