"Then why are you suddenly telling us this now?" Abigail questioned David and Chance.
"Because we know it is never going to happen, so we as well reveal sothing that Carol never knew about" Chance explained and added, "Lucas and Isaac were the closest of all. Lucas deserves for Carol to know what he truly wished for. That's the least we can do for him"
The true reason Chance inford Carol of this, was because, he wanted to assure her she is doing the right thing this ti. Even if she had the slightest doubt about Isaac, now she won't have it ever.
"Wow, we had no idea about it" Abigail said.
"Hmm, because we never shared it with you all. Only close friends of Lucas are aware of it" Jack casually inford Abigail but what he said attracted Samantha and Edwin's attention.
Edwin signalled Samantha to get more information, as it would look weird if he asks it.
"Oh, so you four are the only close friends of Lucas?" Samantha asked Jack.
"He has many close friends, but we four top the list" Jack answered her with a smile, talking about him, Chance, David and Isaac.
"Then why Isaac doesn't spend so much ti with you all?" Samantha couldn't control herself and she asked.
"Isaac is always busy, travelling from one state to another at tis from one country to another. He is never at one place" Chance answered Samantha.
'An assassin keeps travelling, he can't be at one place. Is he indeed the Grim Reaper?' Edwin thought to himself and looked at Isaac, only to get startled as Isaac too had been looking at him.
When Edwin's gaze t with Isaac's, Isaac didn't move his sight away and continued staring at Edwin, with a faint smile.
Edwin was feeling nervous under his gaze.
"What happened Edwin? Why are you so nervous?" Isaac questioned Edwin calmly.
Samantha and Edwin were shocked when he called him Edwin, instead of Edward.
"Isaac, his na is Edward, not Edwin" David corrected him and laughed, "Sorry, Edward. Our smart friend here has one small problem. He mixes nas. Please don't be offended" David explained.
Edwin was still not relieved at David's assurance.
"To be honest, the na Edwin suits you better than Edward" Isaac comnted and looked at Carol, "What do you think?" He asked her startling the woman, who still didn't recover from the fact that her elder brother always wished to see her with Isaac.
She was regretting falling for the wrong guy and wasting her ti behind Chance, when Isaac's question brought her attention back to the table.
"Sorry, think about what?" Carol asked him as she didn't even listen to the conversation happening here.
"Whose thoughts are you lost in?" Isaac teased her.
Carol again drank wine as she was having a difficult ti right now. Never was she in a situation like this before
"Carol, you fine?" Jack worriedly asked her.
"Hmm, I am. Why would you ask?"
"You have been drinking way too much wine. See, your face turned red due to the quantity of wine you consud" Jack was still worried about her.
"Are you sure her face is all red due to the wine she is drinking?" David asked Jack and observed Carol closely before comnting, "I think she is blushing"
Carol wanted to dig a hole for herself, these n were embarrassing her instead of leaving her alone.
"Really?" Chance chid in and looked at Carol, "Why would she be suddenly blushing? Is sothing interesting going on in your life, Carol, that we are not aware of?"
"Will you all stop discussing about ?" Carol shouted at them and drank more wine.
"Anyway, Edwin oh sorry, Edward" Isaac corrected himself and asked, "I hope you are not getting bored with us?"
"Of course not, I am having a good ti" Edwin nervously answered, trying to hide his anxiousness.
"Great, so Edward, where do you live?" Isaac asked him, scaring the shit out of this guy.
If he is indeed Grim Reaper, then how can Edwin giveaway his address. He will surely get killed.
"Why do you ask?" Edward tried to stay calm.
"I have a chain of restaurants, if you are living at a hotel, then I can offer you a hotel room at one of the hotels I own at a discounted price" Isaac answered him as a matter-of-fact, without losing the smile on his lips.
Edwin now felt even more sure of Isaac being the Grim Reaper.
"Why are you favouring ?" Edward asked Isaac.
"How can I not? After all you are dating Carol, who is such a special person to us. This is the least I can do for you" Isaac teasingly looked at Carol, who avoided looking at him, she thought he was teasing her but the truth is Isaac was scaring the shit out of Edwin.
Chance was a silent spectator of this scene. He was calmly observing, Samantha and Edwin's reactions.
Edwin was clearly terrified and Samantha was worried. He was sadistically enjoying their state.
"No thanks, I am living in a studio apartnt" Edwin lied as he didn't wish to share with Isaac which hotel he is staying at.
"Studio apartnt? Huh, I hope you are not a gold digger who is dating Carol for her money?" Isaac was straightforward.
'Grim Reaper too was very straightforward' Samantha thought to herself and her doubts about him were deepening.
"Excuse ?" Edward questioned him, looking offended.
Carol tried to signal to Isaac to keep quiet, she was anyway planning to end things with Edward and there was no reason for Isaac to be jealous.
But unknown to her, Isaac was saying what Chance wanted him to say and was not acting out of jealousy.
Isaac is indeed a close friend of Lucas, through whom he t Chance, David and Jack. They all eventually grew closer and one day Isaac accidentally ca to know that Chance and Lucas were assassins, and that David too is indirectly involved in this field.
