It was the weekend. Carl Black came to the capital city to look for Lisa. He woke up early in the morning and came to a store a little far from the hotel, where he was staying.
He took his phone out of his pocket and showed Lisa’s photo to the shopkeeper, “Hello, have you ever seen her here?”
The shopkeeper looked at the photo closely and shook his head, “No.” He then busied himself with his work.
Carl Black asked him again, showing her photo, “Can you see the photo again? And please try to remember if she has come here earlier.” His tone was pleading.
The shopkeeper shot an irritated look at him and said, “Many people are coming here. How am I supposed to remember everyone’s face? Go to the police station.” He signaled to go out with a wave of his hand.
Dr. Valentine immediately went out of the car and exclaimed, “Wait- you can’t go in.” He rushed to him and blocked his way. Carl Black pushed him away and said in a warning tone, “Don’t stop me. I won’t allow Daniel to ruin our life anymore.” He again started walking ahead. Anger seeped through his body. At that moment, he won’t hesitate to beat anyone who dared to come on his way. Dr. Valentine shouted helplessly, “You can’t act recklessly. The guards will not allow you to enter. If you go in forcefully, they will send you to jail. You will lose the chance to meet her.” Carl Black stopped on the track instantly, clenching his fists tight. His razor-sharp gaze was firmly focused at the guest house. Dr. Valent
Dr. Valentine was about to start the engine to go to the academy when he received Lisa's call. He answered her, “I will be there in the same spot within half an hour.” After disconnecting the call, he looked at Carl Black, sitting on the passenger seat, “She is coming.” Carl Black smiled happily, “Let’s go then.” Dr. Valentine started the engine immediately. Lisa came out of the guest house and waited for Dr. Valentine in front of the art and crafts store. She looked around keenly, hoping that the man she met that day might be here. Her heart was beating faster. She felt a little disappointed for not seeing him. Her wandering gaze searched for a glimpse of him. Meanwhile, she saw Dr. Valentine’s car approachi
Puzzled, Dr. Valentine exclaimed, “Wait...” He wanted to chase him after, but Carl Black already walked away farther from them. He didn’t want to leave Lisa alone. Waving his hand in frustration, he sighed deeply and said, “Don’t bother about him. He is a little bit impulsive but good at heart.” Lisa turned back to look at Dr. Valentine, “Is that so? He is so rude.” She was exasperated. Annoyed, Dr. Valentine grunted, “Who told you to ask him for proof? Everyone doesn’t carry proof like Daniel. Did I show you any proof of our friendship? Hmm?” Lisa felt wronged and asked, “Why are you scolding me?” She sulked with displeasure, “OK, fine... it’s my mistake. But how to come out of that guest house? Daniel will not allow me to go out.”
The next morning, Lisa was getting ready to go to the academy. She was excited, and her face was glowing with happiness. Meanwhile, her door knocked. She walked to the door and opened it. Daniel Brooke was standing in front of the door sullenly. His face was pale. He seemed to be troubled by something. Lisa cast a worried look at him and opened her mouth to say something, but before that, he said, “Lisa… I have something important to deal with, so I am going out for a few days. Can you stay alone here?” She was a little perplexed to hear this, thinking, what type of work had come overnight that he needed to leave suddenly. Then she thought it was good for her. She could go out freely. She was overjoyed, but she didn’t show any sign of excitement on her face.
Carl Black instantly looked up and saw Daniel Brooke smiling slyly at him. He frowned and glanced at Lisa briefly. She was sitting just opposite him. Her hands, holding the journal, started shaking to hear Daniel Brooke’s voice. Her heart started beating faster, and she held the journal tightly to subdue the nervousness. She peeked at him and slightly raised the magazine to hide her face completely. Carl Black’s face reflected displeasure as he watched him scornfully, “Yes. Can’t I come here?” Daniel Brooke chuckled and sat down beside him, “You can go anywhere as you wish. I was a little surprised to see you here. That’s why I asked. Don’t mind.” Carl Black looked away from him and tried to stay calm, but only he knew how restless he was. If Daniel Brooke learned about Lisa, he would definitely create havoc that
Lisa felt wronged and tears started gathering inside her eyes immediately. “Why are you scolding me?” She was feeling terrible pain in her heart. Ever since she had woken up from the coma, everyone treated her lovingly, but this man was rude to her from the beginning. His coldness was like a sharp blade that cut her heart mercilessly. She had no idea why she was yearning for his care. She wanted him to treat her dotingly but here he was scolding her. A few drops of tears finally dripped down from her eyes. Carl Black felt heartache to see her cry. When he heard her mention Daniel Brooke, he lost his calmness and reprimanded her. He closed his eyes and inhaled deeply as though he was trying to control himself. He cupped her face and wiped her tears, “Listen… you are not going to talk to Daniel before you regain your memory. Do you hear me?” His tone was calm y
Lisa nodded and replied, “I can see it, but your faces are not clear. I feel your presence.” There was a smile of hope on her face. Linda and Mark Holmes also smiled back at her. Lisa was delighted, thinking that she could trust them without hesitation. She also anticipated that she would recall her past soon. She turned and looked at Carl Black standing in the middle of the living room staring at them. She smiled at him, “Mr. Black, please come here.” He skipped a beat to hear her call him Mr. Black. He yearned to hear this. It sounded so pleasurable. He walked towards her in a trance with his eyes only on her. When Linda Holmes saw him staring at Lisa affectionately, she cast a meaningful glance at her husband and he also understood what she was intended to s
After disconnecting the call, Daniel Brooke walked to the study and locked the room. He sat straight on the chair, putting his tightly clenched fists on the table. His solemn gage was firmly fixed on a certain point on the opposite wall. He contemplated how to deal with Mr. Mayor. He couldn’t even touch a single strand of his hair without strong evidence, and this was not something that Derek could do. For this, he needed a professional detective who had the guts to go against Mr. Mayor. But he didn’t know anyone like this. Frustrated, he lit a cigarette and began to smoke. He opened his laptop and started looking for private detective agencies. His hand holding the cigarette was shaking. After checking many agencies, he snorted and closed the laptop despondently. He didn’t like anyone’s profile. Extinguishing the cigarette, he lit another one. He rubbe
“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

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 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
