My Wife Is A Secret Assassin

"Yeah, after meeting him today, I will check on him" David assured the two men.

"Okay, I know you three are worried about Carol, but please let her be this time" Mia warned the three men who were a bit too protective of Carol.

Samantha was surprised with this discussion, that's when Abigail explained it, "Carol is one of our friend's younger sister. We lost him some time ago and since then these three men treat Carol as a sister and are a bit too overprotective of her" Abigail's voice sounded a bit sad when see recollected her late friend, Lucas.

"Yeah, and that was why Carol has always been stubborn and childish" Mia added.

"Oh" Samantha just nodded her head.

The six people settled in the living room and were having a causal conversation when again the bell rang.

David stood up from his seat to open the door, he excitedly welcomed Carol and her date.

"Welcome you two, we are very excited to have you" David greeted Carol's date, who was one handsome, young man.

"The pleasure's all mine" The new guy handed a bottle of Champagne to David.

"Woah, why such formalities?" David politely accepted the gift.

"It is normal to buy something, when you are meeting someone for the first time" The guy exclaimed and there was a huge smile on Carol's face as she loved this guy's attitude.

"Thank you so much, please come in; everyone is waiting for you two" David directed them inside.

"Are we the last people here?" Carol questioned him in surprise.

"Yes" 

The three people headed inside the living room and David introduced them, "Finally, the two people we had been waiting for, are here"

Everyone looked in David's direction and when Mia and Abigail saw Carol's guy, they looked at each other and smiled as he was one handsome man.

Jack and Chance, casually glanced at the guy but unknown to everyone else, one person was so utterly shocked seeing this guy, that she had no idea how to react.

Samantha's eyes widened in shock when she saw Carol's date.

'What the fuck is he doing here?' She wondered.

"Hey, you alright?" Chance, noticed how surprised Samantha was, and worriedly asked her.

"Yeah, I am fine" Samantha tried to smile, hiding her anxiousness.

"Guys, this is Edward. We met last week at a bar. He works at a music company and Ed, they are all my friends…" Carol introduced the people present there and Edward smiled politely at every person and shook hands with them.

But when Carol was about to introduce Chance and Samantha, Edward was taken aback seeing Samantha there.

Not even in his wildest dreams, he expected to see her here.

Earlier, when he walked in and met all these people. He didn't look at them properly as there were six people standing there.

So, when Carol was introducing him to one person at a time, he paid attention to that particular person. Therefore, he missed Samantha who was standing at the end.

"What happened, Ed?" Carol questioned him as he seemed a bit surprised.

"Huh nothing. I just recollected, I am supposed to send a mail to my boss and I forgot" Edward made up a lie.

Carol pouted at him, and hugged his arm, "Chill Ed. Right now, no work, it is only friends time" She ordered him and he just smiled, nodding his head.

"By the way, he is Chance, one of my closest friends. Currently he lives in San Diego and she is, umm…" Carol intentionally took a pause while pointing at Samantha as if she was not sure who exactly she is.

Samantha couldn't care any less about Carol's attitude as right now she had other things to worry about.

Still, she couldn't guess what this guy is doing here and how he ended up being Carol's date.

"She is my girlfriend" Chance added, to help Carol understand who exactly Samantha is.

Everyone present in the room, were surprised at this revelation as still they had no idea, about the current status of their relationship.

"Wow dude, that's great" Jack exclaimed in happiness, followed by others.

Carol was not happy about what she heard, but she looked at Edward to distract herself.

'Edward, is a nice guy. Get over Chance, and give Edward a fair chance. He seems to really like me' Carol told herself.

Chance and Edward shook hands with each other and then Edward forwarded his hand towards Samantha.

She composed herself and politely greeted him. The two people looked into each other's eyes and they both had the same question in their minds, 'What are you doing here?'

"I am so glad you all made it here on time" Mia happily exclaimed.

Everyone was still gathered in the living room, David brought them starters and the two Champagne bottles that Samantha and Edward gifted him.

"Coincidentally Samantha and Edward gifted us the same Champagne bottles" David casually mentioned while pouring drinks for everyone.

Samantha and Edward looked at each other, only these two knew it wasn't a coincidence but a habit as Bill has always taught them that one should not go empty-handed when visiting new people.

Bill was the one, who recommended gifting this brand of Champagne as according to him, it was the perfect gift.

Edward and Samantha just smiled and didn't say anything.

"So, Carol, Edward, if you two don't mind, would you two like to share how you two met?" Abigail asked them excitedly as they tried to set up Carol with a few guys but she didn't like any one of them but then suddenly, a week back, she declared how she met an amazing guy and is going out with him.

So, Abigail wished to know how did this happen.

Samantha paid utmost attention when Abigail made this kind of request as she too wished to know, how the fuck Edwin met with Carol and started going out with her.

Just a few days back, she informed him about Grim Reaper intending to kill him, as Edwin was the one who killed Lucas.

She warned him to go underground but instead of doing that, he was sitting across her at David's home.

'Why the fuck did he fly from New Orleans to New York? Why did he change his name from Edwin to Edward? Why is he with Carol out of all the people in this world?' These were the questions which Samantha had and she wished to get all the answers from Edwin.

If not for this situation, she would have dragged Edwin away with her and questioned him straight.

"Well, You guys kept setting me up with some really dumb guys and I was frustrated" Carol started narrating the story, everyone paid keen attention to her, especially Samantha.

When Chance noticed Samantha's interest in it, he was surprised. He always noticed Samantha being indifferent and nonchalant towards his friends.

Even when she tried to mingle with them, it was only for his sake.

This was the first time, she was actually taking interest in his friends' life, which made him feel like something was wrong, but he didn't call her out and let her be.

"One guy, who I met, was so annoying, I walked away from that date and headed to a bar" Carol continued narrating the story, while Edward sat there, just smiling. His attention was on Samantha, who was keenly listening to Carol's story.

He didn't expect even in his wildest dreams, that he would meet her in New York.

Last week, she warned him and yet he was here instead of going underground. 

Edwin was a bit terrified, as he wondered, how will he explain his actions to Samantha. He was sure she might not approve of his plan.

'She will kill me after knowing my intentions. She would never approve of it. How will I make Sam understand my problem?' These were Edwin's thoughts.

"I was irritated and ordered a drink for myself, then I just looked around and saw Edward, who was looking at me." Carol had a huge smile recollecting that moment, then she continued, "As soon as he saw me looking at him, he shyly turned away his head" 

"Awe, so cute" Mia exclaimed.

"Yeah, then I realized, I even saw him at the restaurant where I had that bad date" Carol smiled, narrating it.

"Wait, so you saw her at that restaurant, you liked her and then you followed her to the bar, so that you can approach her?" Mia excitedly asked him.

Edward awkwardly nodded his head.

"Aww, that's so romantic" Mia exclaimed smiling at him.

"Also, very creepy. Were you stalking her?" Chance asked Edward.

"He was not stalking, he was just nervous in directly approaching me, so he was wondering how to" Carol cut off Chance's question as she felt like now, he was being jealous and is interfering in her new formed relationship.

"I was just kidding" Chance couldn't help but feel fishy about Edward
