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
Once they came out from the study, Carl Black pulled Mack Black’s ear and asked, "What are you trying to do?" "Ah... Brother, you are hurting me." Mack Black exclaimed helplessly. Carl Black released him and glared at him. Mack Black's ear turned red. His face contorted and rubbed his ear, "What is it? Bro, you are too much." He was irritated. There were guests in the house. If someone saw this, isn't it embarrassing? Carl Black said coldly, "Don't think that I don't know what you are trying to do." Seriously? Mack Black was pissed off. He pulled his eyebrows together and sta
In the capital city It was almost midnight when Daniel Brooke came back to the guest house. The day was long, and the workload was heavy. Ever since he had come to the capital city with Mr. Mayor, he was working very hard. He was very tired. After taking a bath, he laid on the bed. He tried to sleep but whenever he closed his eyes, Lisa's beautiful face flashed in his mind. He didn't talk to her since he got engaged with Jasmine Brown. His engagement news had spread like wildfire in 'X' city. Undoubtedly, she might have known about it. She might be very sad. He was agitated by this thought. He was happy with her. Why did these complications come all of a sudden? He sat up on the bed. He grabbed his phone and dialed her number, but it was switched off. He sighed deeply.
