They turned around to look at the source of the voice, only to see Henry August approaching them with brisk steps.
He hugged Anna Green and said worriedly, "I was looking for you in the entire restaurant. Do you know how much I got scared when I didn't find you? I thought that..."
He paused to take a good look at her and grabbed her hand tight, "Let's go. We need to get out of here right now."
Anna Green pulled her hand back frantically and frowned, "Where do we need to go? I am not going anywhere with you."
"Anna... We don't have time to waste." With that, he stretched his hand to hold hers, but Mack Black came in between them, and said sternly, "She is not interested to go with you. Why are you forcing her?"
When Linda Holmes didn't see Lisa coming out for a long time, she went to her room to check, but she didn't find her. Thinking that Lisa might be in the bathroom, she knocked on the door but she found the door locked from outside. She frowned deeply at the thought of where she could go. Linda Holmes looked around the room in astonishment. Then her eyes landed on a folded piece of paper on the side table. She picked up the paper and opened it to read. 'Mom, Dad, sorry. I am leaving for the safety of Mr. Black. I can't surrender to Daniel. Please forgive me.' These words were written on that paper. Shocked, Linda Holmes flopped down on the bed instantly. The paper slipped away from her hands and tears rolled down her cheeks. ……. Inside the airplane, Lisa le
On the way, he continuously rubbed her hands and told the driver to drive as fast as he could. Her pulse was getting weaker, and he feared that she might lose her life. At that time, he recalled everything about how he encountered her in 'X' city and fell for her at first sight, but she was already engaged by then. After so many days, he never thought that he would again encounter her like this. As a doctor, it was his first duty to save a life, and the woman lying beside him was none other than his first love. How could he let her die? Nearly after 15 minutes, the car stopped in front of LifeLine hospital. It was his ancestral hospital, and he was none other than the well-known heart surgeon Dr. Liam Valentine. When the on-duty nurses and the
After a long silence, finally, Daniel asked, "How did this happen? Did the police find anything?" He opened his eyes slowly and looked at him. Puzzled, Derek's eyes went wide. Whom did he explain everything to a few minutes back? Shaking his head, he explained again, "The car was hit by a lorry. Police seized the lorry from a dump yard, a few kilometers away from the capital city, and also arrested the driver. But the driver said that someone had stolen his lorry when he was having snacks. It looks like someone preplanned everything neatly. I also sent my men to investigate in detail." Daniel sat up straight. His expression darkened while his eyes went sharp. Gritting his teeth, he commanded fiercely, "Do whatever you want, but I need the person who planned this, as soon as possible. He dared to kill Lisa.
Henry August let go of her and apologized, "I am sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." He turned and stood beside her, focusing his solemn gaze somewhere ahead. Taking a deep breath, he explained, "My father was a famous businessman in Capital city, and we had huge property. This is our farmhouse, and we used to come here during the holidays. We were living happily." There was a faint smile on his face reminiscing the past, but it slowly disappeared. "Due to lung cancer, he died when I was only 10, and my uncle took over the business. He managed to get the property in his name and kicked me and mother out of our house." He sighed in dismay, "We went to 'X' city to my maternal uncle, David's place, but David also didn't help us because his wife thought that we were a burden to them and threw us out from t
This was the day of Lisa's funeral. Close relatives and family friends were gathered in the cemetery. There were tears in every pair of eyes present there, except Carl Black's, who was standing motionlessly, looking down at the grave. Somehow in his heart, he was sure that Lisa was safe and sound somewhere. He was not at all ready to accept that the body which they buried just now was Lisa's body. After looking for a long time at the grave, he turned around and left. Mack Black saw him walking out of the cemetery and chased him after. He reached out to hold his hand and asked, "Where are you going? Everyone is here. Stay for a while." "I hope you can manage everything. I need some time alone." Carl Black said those words without looking back at him. Pulling his hand back, he strode out. Mack Black could do nothing, other than looking at his retreating figure
After coming out of the hospital, Daniel Brooke got into the car and took his phone out of his pocket. He phoned Derek. "I want the call details of Alex D'Costa as soon as possible, and also keep eyes on him. I want every single detail of his movement." He said those words the moment the call connected and hung up the call immediately after finishing giving the order. Then he directly drove to his office. At the end of the day, Daniel Brooke received an email from Derek about the call details for Alex, but he didn't find anything suspicious. Feeling irritated, he slammed his fist on the table and looked coldly at the laptop screen. Grinding his teeth, he murmured, "You have played very smartly, Alex, but not smarter than me."
That day almost at midnight, Alex received a call from an unknown number when he was about to sleep. He frowned and stared at the number, wondering who the person was calling him at that hour. He didn't pick up, thinking that it might be just a random call, and went to sleep. But his phone again rang, and the call was from the same number. This time he didn't ignore it and answered, "Hello." An unusually stuffy male voice came out from the other end of the phone, "Mr. Mayor's daughter's life is in danger. Save her." Startled, Alex jumped out of the bed frantically and asked in a frenzy, "Who are you?" "I am a well-wisher of her. Don't leave her alone if you want to save her." Alex’s eyebrows knitted even tighter an
Jasmine Brown was infuriated. She brushed his hands off and rebuked savagely, "How dare to say this to me? You always knew how much I love Daniel but still, you dare to express your feelings to me. How could you?” Irritated, Alex retaliated, "He never loved you and always used you as a ladder to get success. But you... Despite knowing all these, you kept running after him." He leveled the glare at her. Unhappiness crept into his mind. She always expected love from a person who never valued her, and this was the root cause of his grievance. He was trying to show the true face of Daniel Brooke, but she was not ready to listen to him. He tried to persuade her, "Open your eyes and try to see it clearly. He broke up with you, and now suddenly comes back to you, saying that he wants to be by your side. Don't you
