Chapter 108: Move On From Me

David nodded his head, "Yes in spite of Chance being in love with someone else because the person he is in love with is not in love with him. This gave Carol more hopes"

David wanted Samantha to realize her feelings for Chance so this way he was helping her.

Samantha was calm after what David said, after a few seconds she asked, "If I am with Chance, she will give up on him?"

David was surprised at her straightforwardness; he just smiled at her and nodded his head.

"But I don't think it is possible anymore." Samantha shared with him looking a bit upset.

"What? Why is it not possible anymore? What do you mean?" David worriedly asked.

Samantha's statement confused him.

"Chance is pissed with me; he won't even talk to me. I really insulted and offended him earlier" Samantha was really bothered by Chance's behaviour and she wanted to talk to someone.

All this while, it was not rocket science for her to conclude that Chance is closer to David than his other friends. Also, Samantha interacted more with David, so she felt a comfort level with him and decided to confide in him.

"If you don't mind, may I ask, what did you say to him, to offend him to this level?" David asked her.

Samantha was hesitating, she was pondering to tell him or not.

"Let it be, you don't have to tell me" David assured her and continued, "Chance is a man with very high tolerance and patience Samantha. He won't get angry until and unless he is pushed to his edge. If he ever gets angry, then it only means, something serious must have happened. He is a pretty chill guy usually."

Samantha nodded her head, as she agreed with David.

"Since you might have said something to hurt him to this extent, I would say, it would be only you and your words that is going to help him come back to his normal self."

"I tried to talk to him but he kept avoiding me" Samantha helplessly complained.

Seeing her state, David couldn't believe he was talking to Danger-Ace, one of the most dangerous and scary assassins. Right now, she looked like any normal woman who was worried about the man she loves.

He smiled as at the end of the day; this cruel assassin too was a human being.

"Till when can he ignore you? Where will he run away? He anyway lives next door. No matter how much he would try to avoid you, at the end of the day, he has to go back to his home. So, it won't be a problem. You just need to trap him at a place, from where he can't leave" David suggested.

Something stuck Samantha, when she heard David's suggestion and she smiled at him, "Thank you so much, you are the best" She praised him.

'Yayy, Danger-Ace just praised me, she called me the best' David jumped in joy but on the outside he acted cool.

On the other side Chance consoled Carol who suddenly started crying while hugging him.

"Carol, I don't hate you. How can I ever hate you?" Chance was trying to pacify her.

"Then please don't avoid me. Please treat me like you always do" Carol said between her sobs.

"Fine, then you need to promise me something" Chance seriously said and Carol stepped back to look into his eyes.

"What do I need to promise?" 

"That you will try to move on from me" Chance was really worried about Carol, today she tried to push Samantha in the lake due to her anger and jealousy.

Although it was a stupid move, as Samantha knows how to swim and the chances of her dying by drowning were less but still it was wrong as it implied Carol's state of mind was not good.

It was dangerous, so Chance was worried about her. If Carol does anything dumb again and ends up in a prison then Lucas' soul will not rest in peace.

Chance can't allow Carol to walk on the wrong path.

"Chance…" Carol again had tears when she heard what he wanted.

"Carol, I am in love with Samantha, and you can't change that fact. You very well know about my past relationships. They can hardly be called relationships given I was only with women to sleep. For the first time, I fell in love with someone. Which clearly means how serious I am. Shouldn't you accept this truth and move on for your own sake?"

"But it is hard" Carol said.

"Not, if you try. You never even tried."

"It is very difficult"

"Carol, I am not that amazing that you can never move on from me. You can find someone better. I am sure you will find someone way better than me. I am not the right person for you" Chance patiently tried to make her understand.

"No, you are the most amazing person in this world."

"No, I am not."

"But I love you, no matter how you think you are for me you are the best."

Chance helplessly sighed, he was not sure how to handle her.

"Carol, you will never have me, not even by force. What's the whole point of loving someone you know you can never have?" Chance questioned her.

"Based on what you just said, you too need to give up on Samantha then. She doesn't seem to be into you" Carol countered him.

Chance had a smile on his face, "For how long have you been trying to be with me?" He asked her.

Carol hesitated but she answered him, "Around three years"

"So, it took you around three years to decide to move on…"

"I didn't decide that yet" Carol interrupted him.

"Hypothetically, let's assume you did. It took you three years to make this decision and it has been only a week since I came here to pursue Samantha. So, give me three years, if she doesn't fall for me till then I'll move on"

"Wait, if she doesn't fall for you, then you will marry me. How about adding that too?" Carol excitedly asked him.

Chance wanted to smack his head, if he agrees to this then Carol will really wait him for three years.

"Carol, you are still not getting it. What I meant was, you should not compare your situation with mine."

"Why not?"

"Because my feelings are mutual, yours aren't" Chance decided to be franker with her as she was being way too stubborn.

"Really? Are they mutual?" Carol too could feel Samantha's attraction towards Chance but she was not ready to accept it.

"Yes"

"On what basis are you saying this?" Carol was not ready to budge, she continued to question him.

"In the last one week, a few things happened between us. I am not comfortable in sharing the details and I am sure you too won't be comfortable in knowing them. But believe me those moments are clear enough for me to assume my feelings are mutual." Chance clearly implied a few things happened between him and Samantha. 

Knowing this Carol got very upset and she walked away from there.

Samantha who had no idea, what they were talking about, was observing them all this while.

Now seeing Carol walk away from there, she felt relieved. She didn't like Carol standing closer to Chance. Moreover, she even hugged him earlier.

Once Carol left his side, Samantha focussed on preparing the food. 

David was done with helping her and he was about to step towards Chance, to check if he needs something but Samantha stopped him.

"David" She softly called him while focusing on her food.

David felt shivers run through his body, listening to her soft voice. To others it might sound like a melody but to him, it sounded very creepy.

He got scared and looked at her, Samantha was holding a butcher knife and was cutting flesh.

"I hope you won't share what we talked about with Chance." Samantha was seriously cutting the flesh, her whole attention on it while she warned him.

Seeing this view, David was even more scared and he desperately nodded his head, "I won't tell him anything. It is a secret between the two of us" He promised.

"Good" Samantha didn't even lift her head to look at him, if she would have had then she would have looked at a deeply terrified person.

David went to Chance's side and helped him with a few things. The two men didn't talk to each other at all.

Chance was still in a bad mood, as he was deeply hurt by Samantha's accusation on him. He talked to Carol as he knew her state of mind was not good and he didn't wish to trigger her anger anymore but he was still not in the mood to interact with others. 

On the other hand, after walking away from Chance, Carol joined the two girls.
