She turned her head to look at the lake, “I remember this view. I remember us, sitting here enjoying these beautiful sceneries.”
She then sat down and caressed the rock beside her, “I was sitting here next to you.” She looked up at him, “Won’t you sit?”
He smiled and sat down beside her. He took a small velvet blue box out of his coat pocket and placed it in her palm.
Lisa looked down at the box and then moved her gaze at him, “What is this?”
“Open it.”
Lisa gazed at him dumbly, and slowly her eyes drifted down to the box again. Curiosity piqued her heart, and she opened the box.
There was a pair of large, sparkling, single stone diamond earring
Different kinds of emotions overwhelmed Lisa. She was angry and happy at the same time after recalling their relationship. She was upset, thinking that Carl Black never say a word about their marriage. ‘Why is he hiding this from me?’ This was the only thing she wanted to know at that time. She sobbed quietly looking at the photo. After finishing the preparation for the next day’s lecture, Carl Black came to his room and remembered that Lisa urged him to call her. He checked the time. It was half-past ten at night. He thought she might be tired and sleeping. Sighing, he lay on the bed but sleep was far away from him. After tossing and turning countless times, he couldn’t control his yearning to hear her voice. Eventually, he phoned her. Lisa was weeping, sitting on the bed with her head on her knees. In the
Lisa was sure that someone was following them but she didn’t know what his motive was. She tapped on her mother’s shoulder and said, “Mom, we need to leave fast.” She was still gazing outside. Unaware of all these, Linda Holmes replied casually, “Yes, yes. Let me pay the bill.” Lisa was scared, and her uneasiness increased with every passing second. Her eyes wandered inside and outside of the shop. When Linda Holmes was done with the payment, Lisa held the bags, “Let’s go.” She started walking in long strides. Linda Holmes was puzzled and almost ran to follow her. She asked, “What happened? Are you not feeling well?” Lisa didn’t reply and kept walking speedily. Helpless, Linda Holmes held her arm to stop her, “Why are you behaving so weird?”
Daniel Brooke was stuck in an island resort with Jasmine Brown. Mr. Mayor owned that island, and the security sealed all the entry and exit points. There were no guests in the resort other than them. Jasmine Brown was spending time happily while Daniel Brooke was fidgety. He was waiting for a response from the private detective. Every hour he checked his mail, hoping that he would receive information from him. That night he finally received his email stating that Alex was drugged before his wrist was cut, but this was not mentioned in the post mortem report. The detective managed to dig out Alex’s corpse reexamined his body and found a trace of drugs in his system. The last few sentences of the email struck his mind like lightning. ‘I don’t find any clue against Mr. Mayor. I doubt he is not involved in this case. Someone is monitoring you closely. I will find him out in no time. Until then be careful.’
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
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*
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
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.
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
