75. Her dreadful days of training

2024-10-29 19:42:56"If I were her, I would have made sure that single bullet nailed his vicious heart," Jack spoke with his jaw clenched.
Andy leaned his back to his chair. He took a deep breath and composed himself to ask."And why is that?" Andy managed to speak with calmness in his tone. He stared at the young man's face, trying to see any signs of deception he would try to pull a trick on them."Because that son of the Devil made Brianna live in hell almost every day of her youth," Jack replied with anger. "She was trained to be a killer machine, with the motivation that she would be able to avenge her parents' death. She drowned more than her fingers in a single hand as Charles made her hold her breath in the water with her ankles chained beneath the waters to a huge stone. She would have to unlock the chains in time to make it out to the surface and breath. The first few times she didn't make it, she drowned only to be rescued, breath again, and restart the training."The thRelated chapters

"Yeah," Jack answered with a sneer and intense annoyance. "But I don't think it was to help her if Mister Michaelson here is telling the truth," he added. He was still glaring at Leandro. But when he saw the confused look on the old man's face, Jack sighed and turned his eyes to Andy. He felt a weird feeling that the latter was staring at him intently. He realized Andy was indeed all eyes on Jack. So he asked. "What..?!""What's your name again?" Andy squinted his eyes. His body moved to lean on his lap to get a closer look at the young man."Jack Foster," Jack answered as he leaned forward to do the same with Andy. He gave the military man an equally sizing look."Who is your father?" Andy asked again. He was even more piqued to realize that the young man was not intimidated by him. "I have no father. If I had one, I don't know who he is. No one was there when I grew up with my mom; even when she was on her deathbed, I had no one for a father. But Charles Ander

"Tell me, what can I do to help?" Jack Foster asked with eagerness.He is pleased to realize that there are people willing to help Brianna solve and bring her parents' death to justice. No matter how hard he had tried, his capabilities and access to many things are still limited. Besides, it's always better to have two heads thinking for anything than one. And more the better if there are more than just two. "You are going to tell us everything you know," Andy replied quickly. "Anything you could tell us might be very helpful."Jack nodded vigorously. He was willing to do anything that would be helpful. Even if it means turning his back to the father his mom introduced to him. Charles Anderson. Her mom was already weak and breathless when she told Jack about his father, and he will have to live with the man when his mom died. He was resentful, but he was only seven years old. He had no way to survive with his weak health and no adult around him, except under Charles

"It might have been an Atropine. A kind of medication that is used to treat certain kinds of nerve agents, it effectively blocks the effects of an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body. But we cannot be sure it was the exact antidote to the poison on the blade that stabbed her; it may only be able to delay the poison from spreading in her bloodstream. And we will only be sure after it is tested," Jack replied with extreme fear.Everyone in the room felt the same fear as Jack Foster. "What do we do then?" Lucien asked in a grave panic."Poisons can be flushed out of the body system; we need to hydrate her as much as possible," Jack replied again. Then he looked at Lucien. "I need to see her wound," Jack said.Lucien glared at Jack."It's already cleaned and bandaged," Lucien spoke with his jaw clenched."I know, still, I need to see her wound," Jack insisted."No, you can't," Lucien firmly declined."Turn around if you don't wa

"What is going on?" Clark Jacobs asked as soon as he arrived.The young doctor dropped all he was doing and appointed his colleagues to take over so he could respond to Enzo's call. He was already waiting by the lobby when the ride to pick him up arrived at the hospital, and it took less than fifteen minutes to reach Lucien's villa. He was told where he was supposed to go as soon as he opened the front door, and he saw Lucien with a stranger standing next to the bed. The two still had each other's hands in a clasp, so Clark was a bit dazed. "Shhhhhh..." "Hushhhhh..."Jack and Lucien quickly responded with their free hands' index fingers right before their mouths, giving the newcomer a sign to be quiet. And noticed they were still holding each other's hands in a firm shake. They abruptly let go and their eyes turned back to the man in a medical gown.Clark was flabbergasted. Then as he looked at the bed, he also saw someone was lying, and he could guess it

"And she did not want any trace of her left behind once her plans were executed, succeeded or failed," Jack looked at Brianna on the bed.Lucien and Clark followed Jack's gaze only to turn back to Jack again."But I guess she found something that made her doubt the truth of everything she was told about her parents' tragedy," Jack sighed, still staring at Brianna. "Or..." Jack paused, then he looked at Clark.The young doctor was startled at Jack's sudden turn of his head in his direction."Or...? What...?" Clark asked with fright. He was not scared of Jack; he was scared at how Lucien pierced him with his eyes as he looked at the young doctor, who Lucien thought did something wrong."Hey...!" Clark felt offended and hurt. He wanted to protest that these two are being unfair. He wanted to yell out; What did I do? But the two next to him responded the same as when he arrived at the room earlier."Shhhhhhh!" Lucien and Jack hushed in unison.Clark bi

"If what this Jack Foster is saying turns out to be true..?" Andy stated what was in his mind, staring at the screen in front of them. "I am afraid he might be right about Luci being in danger," Leandro finished Andy's words. He had the same thoughts. And his amazement and amusements about Anna's skills shook his heart in great disquietude. He has heard Jack Foster's side of the story introducing Anna's life experiences and the hatred she had been too muchly fed with over the years. A few days of temporary memory loss won't erase all of them if they happen to be embedded in the deepest part of her memory. "What do we do?" Asked the wary grandfather. He would love for the girl to be with his grandson, his one and only, beloved, ever dearly grandson, Lucien Michaelson. But he is beyond scared to even think about how Lucien is going to survive a fierce and very capable Anna."I suggest we remind the medical staff to maintain a fine dosage of sedative in her medication
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 82. Adjusting to the pain
It must have been due to the medication Brianna was given to assist her body to recuperate; she woke up while everyone was asleep. She could only see Lucien as Clark and Jack were seated by the wall next to the door, a direction not visible in her laying on the bed position. Had she been laid slanted on the bed, she might have noticed the two men leaning their head back to the backrest of their sofa chair, silently asleep facing her soles as she was on the bed. They all seemed to be cautious not to make any snoring sound as they were mentally aware there was a patient in the room. Well, Clark only snores when he is physically exhausted, like after long hours or medical surgery procedure he would do, but he doesn't snore when he is not so tired. Lucien is the same. Jack, on the other hand, does not snore at all. His weak heart restrains him from doing extraneous work, so he has never felt exhausted physically. He is more mentally drained at times; still, he sleeps quietly. Bria
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 83. What are you doing here?
"Did you give me any medications?" She asked as she saw the healing process. Anna's voice was soft and low as she checked on her wounds. Her head and jaw almost touched her chest as she bowed. She felt pain, but it wasn't unbearable. She could tolerate it, and she was convinced she could move like normal in no time after she made herself sit on the bed as soon as she woke up."The medics had identified the poison, and I agreed to give you the antidote despite your orders before you fainted in my arms," Lucien reasoned eagerly. "I am not sorry I did what I felt necessary, but I still want to apologize. Forgive me, please?"Lucien spoke with his eyes looking at Anna's face. She had to look up to remind him that the light was moving away from the right spot again, but she was a bit amused at how he looked so aggrieved as he seriously waited for her response. Brianna stared at his face for a moment, and with indifference, she nodded. He looked funny, but Brianna's

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
