2024-10-29 19:42:56Tatum and Lucien arrived at Brianna's room door. The ever so diligent driver / assistant opened the door for his boss widely. Lucien's hands could not open the door by himself as he was carrying a tray with the soup he had prepared for Anna.
Lucien walked in.The whole room was dead silent.Anna was sitting on the bed, the way he left her. Jack was sitting on the sofa chair with the drips still inserted in his veins. Clark was standing in between the two patients as he checked the speed of their intravenous infusions."Anna, I have prepared the soup for you," Lucien greeted lively as soon as he got closer to the bed. "I am not sure how it tastes, but I hope it is to your liking," he was abashed to present his cooking skills to Anna. "I'm not good in the kitchen so, I will have to apologize. You've seen how I messed up at your house last time."Lucien chuckled as he placed the tray on Anna's lap.Brianna did not say anything.She stared at theRelated chapters
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 86. No better option
Jack was beyond ecstatic to know that Brianna's memory was back. What she said just a while ago was a hint. It was a clear message when she said, "I will call you when I need you." They have been using this line many times over these years. He was not sure at first, but when Brianna looked him in the eyes, he understood. She was telling him to get out of this place as soon as possible. She needs him not beside her but afar, being her eyes and ears just the way they used to be. Jack was like a child laughing and smiling from ear to ear as he drove back to his place.When he held Brianna by the hand, he actually gave her something that was a tiny earpiece and microphone which Brianna could speak to him. Jack realized why did Brianna had reacted the way she did; she must have been scared to see him together with her in her enemies' place. Brianna needs to know a lot of things, but Jack is well aware that he cannot just burst them all out without giving Brianna time to process ever

"I cannot be talking much, so you will have to do that part," Brianna tried to speak with clarity, although she had a hand covering her mouth."Does your wound hurt that much?" Jack asked with worries clearly audible in his voice."Mmmm, no," Brianna groaned her reply."Is it because you cannot talk?" Jack asked again."Uhumm," Brianna replied shortly."Is there any surveillance camera in your room?" he asked."Uhumm.""So you want me to talk, and you will just be listening, right?" The conversation between the two was an exchange of Jack asking questions stating a point he assumes Brianna wants to tell him and feeding her with statements where Brianna would only need to confirm his thoughts. Jack would once in a while ask her if the answer was a yes or a no for clarification. "I have been searching for you ever since that day you went to the LM building for an interview. I couldn't get in touch with you; I couldn't even find you," Jack

Jack did not dally to do as Brianna asked him to do; he told Brianna everything he knew. And Brianna listened carefully. She wanted to be sure she got all Jack's information correctly and accurately. Brianna had so many questions, but she did not want to ask in fear that she might get noticed and seen on the cameras. She still has to hide the truth that she had her memories back. She kept her responses audible as she hummed occasionally."I know you hate the Michaelson's. And I swear on my mother's grave, I hate them, too," Jack stated with desperation in his voice. Jack was actually worried Brianna would doubt his words for a fool, brainwashed by the enemy when she was unconscious. And he was worried because he was aware his intelligence was not as sharp as Brianna's. He could be correct, but he cannot ignore the possibilities of being wrong. Jack was also in the process of understanding, analyzing, and considering this and that in all the information his brain has recei

Jack continued."I will dig deeper. I will try to investigate as far as I can, get to the bottom of all of these as soon as possible. I will collect information as more as I can provide. And I will let you know everything about it. According to General Lockwood, your parents' case is not something so light. He also tried to investigate. He had been looking all over for you. It had been a puzzle for him why he could not find a 5-year-old girl who went missing right after her grandparents died? He said he even widened the range of their search for you, from that village to the whole city to the whole state and also to the whole region. But he couldn't find you," Jack spoke seriously as he also tried to listen to himself and analyze any possibilities of point or hint that they have been missing to notice. "The general doubted that you did not leave on your own because if you did so, you would have been captured by surveillance cameras around each and every corner which you m
The Billionaire's Series ASSASSIN 90. Overprotective
After thinking for a while, Brianna also dozed off. It was almost the break of dawn when she let her busily thinking mind rest. And while she was asleep, Lucien came to see her before the roosters crowed in the morning. Lucien was tired, and he fell asleep as soon as he laid his head on his pillow back in his room when Anna sent him to rest, but he woke up after a few hours of peaceful slumber. He was glad that she was asleep when he arrived in the room because he was worried that she would have sent him out again. Brianna had just started to drift off to dreamland when Lucien came, and so, she was dead asleep. It must have been due to tiredness, along with the effect of the medicine that had won her over to a state of mind and body where her consciousness was practically suspended. She did not notice someone was watching her, right in front of her. Had it been any other time and situation, even with how careful Lucien made his way into the room, Brianna would still have notic

Brianna was nonchalant in all of what was happening. She did not care about Lucien's reaction to the looking aggrieved doctor. But she did not stop Lucien, and she did not stop the doctor when he turned around, even with a sad face. Lucien carefully checked the wound, and unsurprisingly it was bleeding. "We need to change the bandage and sanitize your wound," Lucien announced to Anna gently, but it changed to a firm and stern tone when he spoke again, looking up to speak in Clark's directions. "Please send someone to bring a new set of everything we need to dress her wound again, Doctor Jacobs." The young doctor was flabbergasted at how Lucien's pitch of speech would dramatically change when he speaks to Clark compared to when he says something or anything to Anna. He turned around to glare at Lucien, but he quickly turned about-face when he saw Lucien's eyes were shooting daggers, flaming daggers, directly to his face. Clark blinked his eyes a few times rapidly as he co

When Lucien heard Anna say where she needed to go as for the reason why she wanted to get up, he hurriedly assisted her. Lucien was on Anna's left side, where her wound was on her chest, so her drip was located on the other side of the bed. Lucien walked around the bed, and as he was doing so, he noticed Clark was still standing in the same spot he was all this while. "What are you still doing here?" Lucien asked with disdain, although he did not stop walking to where he was heading. "I need the new set of bandages and let Nana know we are having breakfast at the table as soon as they get the food ready," he continued to nag at a cramping Clark to leave the room as fast as he could while helping Anna."Slowly, please..?" Anna felt funny. "Are you injured?" She asked. Her tone could not hide the ridicule it came along with. He was only assisting him, but he sounded like he was feeling hurt by her movements."Anna, you are injured. You should move slowly,"

Brianna made sure she was wearing the spy mic and earpiece Jack gave her before he left, after washing up and doing her morning rituals in the washroom. She even told Jack about listening to her conversation with anyone while she stays at the Michaelson's. She was not sure what she would find out when she gets out of the room she was occupying, so she asked for Jack's assistance. She clearly told Jack what to do."Check the authenticity of whatever information I give you; I will ask or repeat the statement. That would be your hint." She was thinking about looking around and checking things for her understanding. She asked Jack to deepen the information she needed on everything. "Feed me the information to testify or clarify anything they would try to tell me. You will be my eyes looking at the view from a wider range and see the panorama of everything."Brianna also made herself clear that if ever Jack makes a fool out of her, she won't wait for the doctor's pe

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
