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
“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 kill an innocent. Unbelievable, Dad. And, what about killing Alex and

'Quantum Physics' It was written in big letters on the board of a classroom of college. An enticingly handsome young man in his early thirties (might be 32-33 years old) was giving a lecture. A white shirt paired with black trousers were perfectly hugging his tall lean body. His chiseled jawline covered by shortly trimmed beards, sharp nose, and a pair of deep black eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses were making him very appealing and attractive. Pushing his glasses a little upon his nose bridge with his forefinger, he continued his lecture "In Classical mechanics objects exist in a particular space at a particular time while in Quantum mechanics objects exist in probability. In other words...." Knock.... knock... He looked at the door and saw a peon. "Yes." "Sorry to disturb you, professor. This is a parcel for you." "Parcel? Who sent me a parcel here?" "There is no name of the sender." "Ok, thank you." He took the parcel and looked at it suspiciously for a while before ke
Flashback... A few months ago… A beautiful girl in her early twenties, was busy drawing. Her bewitching deep blue eyes were fixed on the drawing board, expression pensive. Very soon, she finished her drawing and turned around to face the students, only to say, "Today's class is all about pencil drawing. It is monochromatic which means there is only one color. We will not use any color. So...." Tringggg....... "Ok children, times up. We will continue this tomorrow" after saying that the girl left the class. As soon as she came out, her phone rang. Seeing the familiar number on the screen, a wide smile appeared on her face, and she answered the call immediately, "Hello." She heard a deep male voice from the other side of the phone, "I am outside." "Coming." After hanging up the phone, she rushed to the gate and saw an elegant 6 feet tall, handsome young man, leaning on his sports car in front of the school gate. He was wearing a royal blue shirt and a pair of gray pants. His
Linda Holmes was discharged from the hospital the next day. Lisa took leaves for two days to take care of her mother. During these days, Daniel Brooke called and messaged her several times, but she didn't answer any of them. Two days later, she went to school. However, she couldn’t concentrate on her work. To clear her mind, she went to have coffee at the cafeteria. She was looking outside through the window in a daze, holding the cup. Her mind was buzzing while her eyes were empty, devoid of hopes. She didn't take a single sip of the coffee. The coffee turned cold as ice. "What is it? Where is your mind? I was calling you several times, but you didn’t answer me." A sweet female voice came from the top of her head and snatched her back to reality. She looked up and saw her colleague and friend Anna Green who was staring at her with a slight frown. "Oh... It’s nothing." Anna Green sat down on the opposite chair, "Really?... Don't tell me that something is not bothering you. Tell
After around an hour of driving, they reached the shopping mall. They were roaming from one store to another, but no one was willing to buy anything. Suddenly Anna Green pulled Lisa towards her and whispered in her ear "I want to buy some lingerie. But I am feeling a little uncomfortable in the presence of Mr. Black. You don’t need to accompany me. Just enjoy your time with him, OK?" Actually, she had no intention to buy any lingerie. But she was smart enough to give some privacy to this new couple, so she decided to leave them alone. Lisa was very angry to hear this and asked in a low voice, gnashing her teeth "You are doing this intentionally, right?" Anna chuckled and went towards Carl black totally ignoring Lisa and said "Mr. Black why don't you buy something for Lisa? I am going to buy some necessary items. See you at the entrance after one hour." As soon as she finished speaking she waved her hands to Lisa and Carl Black, turned around, and left. Lisa Pouted angrily seeing th
Carl Black was having dinner with his mother and brother at his villa. But his mind was filled with the thoughts of Lisa. The memory of Lisa wearing that red dress was still vivid and he couldn't hide the attractive smile that appeared at the corner of his lips. Mack Black who was sitting opposite him saw this and couldn't help but say "Someone seems to be in a good mood." Carl Black glared at him without saying anything and continued eating. "Are you thinking about sister-in-law?" "Shut up." Mack Black laughed loudly and sneered "I was just assuming, but it seems I was right." "Mack, stop it." "OK, OK, I was teasing you. Don't get angry." This time Helen Black interrupted "You two stop talking and eat fast. Mack, don't tease your elder brother." After dinner, Carl Black went to his study room to prepare for the next day's lecture. But his mind was again shifted to Lisa. He took out his phone and started typing a message, but before sending it, he deleted the message. He mu
After around an hour of drive, they reached a high-end restaurant. Carl Black had already reserved a private room so they entered directly into the room. They sat opposite each other. Very soon, a waiter came, and they placed the order. Lisa was avoiding eye contact with Carl Black. She was so nervous that she started rubbing her palms impatiently. This was her common habit. Whenever she felt nervous, she began to rub her palms continuously. Carl Black observed her every action attentively. He rubbed his chin, contemplating something. All of a sudden, he placed his palm on her forehead. His action startled Lisa, and she asked in a frenzy, "Mr. Black, what is it?" "I was checking if you are having a fever or not." "Huh...?" Carl Black’s sharp gaze scrutinized her. Lisa looked away from him, feeling oppressed under his scorching gaze. She was scared that he could see through her mind and figure out what she was thinking. After a long pause, he said indifferently, "I have notic
