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
The next day Daniel Brooke took Jasmine Brown to a resort, far away from 'X' city. The resort was located on the top of a hill. Jasmin was enjoying the view standing on the porch attached to the cottage. All the sides of the resort were covered with a large number of trees and plants. Some plants bore flowers of different colors which were quite different from those found in plain lands. Jasmine had no idea what were the names of those flowering plants, but she was enjoying the beauty of the scenery. A rapidly flowing stream could be seen from where she was standing. Birds with beautiful feathers were flying and singing merrily. She felt relaxed instantly and inhaled deeply the fresh air, closing her eyes and stretching her arms on either side. There was a faint smell of wildflowers in the air. A wide
“Why are you here?” Instead of answering him, Daniel asked back a question.“You are my son, and it is my right to come and check you.” Thomas Brooke raised his voice slightly, feeling annoyed.“But I don’t want to see your face.” Daniel Brooke turned his head to the other side.“Daniel, I have done all this for the safety of you and the family. Don’t forget that you are engaged with Mr. Mayor’s daughter, and you know well that how rich and powerful he is. It will not take an hour for him to take down our family. If you have given up your madness, nothing would have happened like this.” He sounded irritated.Daniel Brooke sat up on the sickbed and said fiercely, “You are justifying a conspiracy to ki

Daniel Brooke sat up on the sickbed and said fiercely, “You are justifying a conspiracy to kill an innocent. Unbelievable, Dad. And, what about killing Alex and
Bang… Bang… Another two more gunshots sounded loud back to back. Lisa shirked, closing her eyes. Silence swept in the room after that. She could only hear her rapidly beating heartbeat. Slowly she opened her eyes and looked up at Carl Black who was shielding her with his body. She asked in a shaky voice, “Are you alright?” He answered, “Yes, my love.” Thump... Meanwhile, they heard the dull sound of something falling on the floor. They turned to look, only to see Daniel Brooke lying on the floor. Blood was dripping down from his belly. He took the bullet for her. Albert was lying behind him, dead. Derek shot two bullets directly on his head. “Daniel…” Lisa shouted and rushed
On the other end, Daniel Brooke reached the location with Derek before the cops could reach them. Derek’s men spread everywhere in the area. There were many incomplete buildings. They have no idea in which building Albert was hiding. Suddenly a voice came out from Derek’s walkie-talkie, “Two men were seen on the rooftop of the last building to the right side.” “Got it,” Derek answered. They looked up at the last building and saw two men roaming around on the rooftop, inspecting the surroundings. They had guns in their hands. Derek looked at Daniel Brooke, “Now we should go ahead, avoiding their eyes.” Nodding, they approached carefully, hiding behind the stacks of bricks. They saw dozens of men guarding the building when they came
Albert laughed loudly again, “You are smart, Daniel. Did you know why I called you?” He waited for a while but when he didn’t get any answer from Daniel Brooke, he began to say, “Because my men have abducted your beloved woman. And her husband also came following her. Now he is fighting with my man.” He laughed again loudly. Soon his expression changed into a monstrous look, “If you want her alive, come to the abandoned construction site of JK builders alone within an hour. If you delay or you try to trick me, you will lose her forever.” “Don’t touch her.” Daniel Brooke shouted impulsively. “Your problem is with me. She is innocent. Don’t do anything to her. I will come wherever you want.” “See you soon.” The call ended immed
Carl Black chuckled and looked at his mother, “Mom…” Holding her hand, he went to her room. On the other end, after showing all the rooms of the Black villa, Mack Black finally took Lisa to her bedroom, “And this is your bedroom. Go and rest. I hope bro will come in any minute.” Smiling, he waved at her and ushered her inside the room. When Lisa came in, various scenes started playing like a recording in her mind. All the scenes were entangled with each other, and she couldn’t make heads or tails of those. She walked towards the bed in reverie and saw her cry miserably. She felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her breathing quickened. Blinking continuously, she tried to remember what happened in the past.
Turning off the shower, Daniel quickly came out of the bathroom and changed his cloth. Grabbing the car key, he rushed out of his penthouse and drove to the college. Half an hour later, he reached the college and headed to the department of Physics. He blocked the way of a young boy and asked “Hey… Can you show me Professor Black’s cabin?” The boy replied happily, “Sure. Follow me.” Daniel Brooke followed the young man quietly, inspecting the surroundings. He never thought that he would come to meet his arch-rival on his own. He wondered how Carl Black would react to see him. When he was lost in his thoughts, the boy said. “There is Professor Black’s cabin.” The boy stretched his arm and pointed his finger ah
Daniel Brooke threw the gun to Derek and said in his commanding tone, “Call the police and inform Albert’s whereabouts.” With that, he walked out of the house. Derek signaled his men to take care of everything and followed Daniel Brooke. That night the police went to the address that had been given by Kyle Kings, but Albert was nowhere to be found. All his belongings were left which proved his presence. However, before the police could reach him, he ran away. When Daniel Brooke learned about it, he got mad, “You all are useless. This was our golden chance to capture him. All these days he was right under our nose, but we failed to locate him, and now he managed to escape. Find him at any cost before he harms anyone.” He kicked hard on the sofa and cursed loudly, “Fu*
Lisa woke up after a few hours and looked around, but she didn’t find any trace of Carl Black. She panicked and the view of him walking away from her, holding a suitcase came alive in front of her eyes. Grabbing the towel, she wrapped it around her body and walked out of the room. She heard the humming of someone and looked down at the source of the sound, only to see him doing something in the kitchen. It seemed that his mood was good. Lisa’s lips curled up involuntarily and came back to the room. She went to the bathroom to freshen up. After taking a quick shower, she came out and changed her clothes. Last night she didn’t look around the area properly so she went to the balcony and looked outside. There were many tall trees in that area. The chir
