When Henry August was rushing towards Daniel Brooke's room, he bumped into someone else.
"Sorry, sorry. I was in a hurry."
He said these words without looking at the person and started walking ahead. But before he could move two steps he heard a cold voice, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is everything alright? Why do you come back so soon?"
Henry August was startled and turned around to look back, only to meet David Allen's inquisitive gaze. He wanted to explain everything to him. Just as he opened his mouth to say, a thought appeared in his mind, and he closed his mouth.
David Allen was staring at him, narrowing his eyes, waiting for his response. But after a while also when he didn’t hear anything from him, he asked worriedl
The day of the hearing came very soon. Daniel Brooke and Henry August were ready to go to the court. For the past few days, they both were working secretly from the closed room. They managed to arrange all the proofs successfully. Daniel Brooke was satisfied with the arrangements, and he was full of confidence. Knock...Knock..... Henry August opened the door, and his expression turned gloomy instantly to see the person standing on the doorstep. David Allen entered the room and said, "Master Daniel, the boss wants to see you." "OK, I'll be there. You leave now." "He wants to meet you immediately." Daniel Brooke stared at him for a few momen
All were waiting impatiently for Daniel Brooke in the courtroom. The clock was ticking without stopping. Every passing second was important. Daniel Brooke's subordinate was wiping his sweat from his forehead continuously. Only two minutes left, and there was no sign of his Boss. If he couldn't make it, all their efforts would go in vain. The defense lawyer chuckled and said, "Time is almost over Your Honors. Mr. Brooke will not come. So, you should..." Before he could finish speaking, the door of the courtroom swung open, and Daniel Brooke came inside with the man in the black suit. All the people present in the courtroom turned their heads to look at them. Daniel Brooke's hair was messy, and his suit was soiled while his face was covered with dirt. The four convicted
During these days, Anna Green was waiting impatiently in the hotel room of the 'Y' city for the call of the private detective assigned by Carl Black. But until now, she didn't get any call from him. She had become very impatient. She felt like her brother was going farther and farther away from her every passing day. She couldn't waste more time sitting in the hotel room doing nothing. She grabbed her purse and went out of the hotel. She took a taxi and went to a popular newspaper office in 'Y' city. She met the person who handled the missing person column and gave Neil Green's photo to publish. The reporter pitied her and he suggested her posting it on social media. She thanked the reporter and came back to the hotel. She posted her brother's missing topic on her social media accounts as soon as she returned and appealed to help
At the end of the day, Carl Black came out of the college and took out his phone to call Lisa. He wanted to have dinner with her. But just as he was about to dial her number, his phone rang. It was Andrew who called him. He kept looking at the screen in surprise for a few moments before answering the call, "Hello." "Carl, can you come over here? I need to tell you something." "Is anything wrong, Andrew?" "I can't tell you on the phone. Come to my place." "Alright." He drove to Andrew's place without delay. ......... At Brooke mansion…
Carl Black looked down at Lisa who was still in his embrace, "Have you eaten?" She shook her head two three times. "I know a good place. Let's go for dinner." She nodded vigorously. He drove to a luxurious restaurant. They entered the restaurant and took a seat from where the entire 'X' city could be visible. The nightlife of 'X' city was really beautiful. Lisa was looking outside in a daze. Her mind was still in a mess. The scene of Daniel Brooke hugging Jasmine Brown was vivid in her mind. Carl Black looked at her carefully. He wondered what happened with her. He had to find out why she was so upset.
Carl Black hugged Lisa and whispered in her ear, "I love you. I will give you all the happiness in the world. But you have to promise me that you will not hide anything from me. You have to trust me. Hmm?" He lowered his head to kiss her. Meanwhile, someone yelled from behind, "What are you doing, Lisa? How dare you deceive me? How can you choose him over me?" They both turned around to look back, only to meet Daniel Brooke's burning gaze. Lisa was scared to death. Her entire body started trembling. All of a sudden, Daniel Brooke pulled her away from Carl Black and hugged her tightly. He said possessively, "You are mine. No one can touch you. If anyone dares to touch you, I'll kill him."
She asked softly, "Where are we going?" "You will know once you reach there." Carl Black started the engine and the wheels started moving on the road. The journey was quiet. Nobody spoke for a long time. She was looking outside through the windshield while he was busy driving. Eventually, she turned her head to look at him and broke the silence, "What do you like to do other than teaching?" Carl Black glanced at her and asked, "Why did you ask this, all of a sudden?" "I want to know about you more." Shepaused for a few seconds before asking again, "What? Can't I ask you?" "Of course you can.” He let out
Time passed very fast. A few days later, Helen Black invited the Holmes family for dinner. She was very busy instructing the servants what dishes should be cooked. This was the first time the Holmes family was coming for dinner, and she didn't want to make any mistake. She must not let down the face of the Black family. She also prepared gifts for them. She was running around to make sure that everything had been arranged perfectly. When Carl Black came back from college, he saw his mother shouting at the servants and running around. He frowned and asked, "Mom, what is going on? Why are you running around?" Helen Black turned around and saw him. She blurted out, "You are back. Go, freshen up. They will come at any minute. There is no time left. Where is Mack? I told him to come
“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
