Daniel Brooke looked at their departing figures, and his expression turned sinister. He took out his phone and dialed a number. He commanded fiercely as soon as the call connected, "I need detailed information about Carl Black. His daily routine, his friends, enemies, every single detail. I need it as soon as possible."
He hung up the call soon after saying this, without waiting for the response from the other end of the phone. He looked at them again. He saw them getting in the car and driving away. He stood there for a long time, looking in the direction from where they just disappeared from his sight, before leaving from there.
Inside the car, Carl Black's expression was cold. His full concentration was on driving. He even didn't glance at her. The awkward silence inside the car was oppressive, and Lisa was feeling very uncomf
It was half-past 10 at night. Daniel Brooke was working in his study room. But his concentration was not in the work. He was flipping the pages of a file one after another. After continuously flipping for some time, he got so irritated that he swept all the files from the table. All the papers scattered instantly on the floor. The scene of Lisa walking away from him, holding Carl Black's hand was vivid in his mind. He ran his fingers through his hair with frustration. In the meantime, his phone rang. He answered the call immediately, "Hello." "Boss, I have all the information about Mr. Carl Black." Someone spoke from the other end of the phone. "Speak." "He is a pretty good professor almost without any flaws. He is famous in his college for his r
Daniel Brooke was working at his office with Henry August. At that time, he received a call from a familiar number. He quickly answered the call, "Hello." But his expression immediately changed when he heard something from the other end. He was so angry that he threw his phone on the wall hard and cursed loudly, “Fuck.” The phone broke into pieces instantly. Henry August was dumbfounded. He wanted to ask but when he saw his Boss’s raging eyes, he swallowed all the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He didn't know whether he should stay or leave. Just as he was in dilemma, he heard his Boss’s angry roar, "Leave." He quickly got up from the chair and walked out.
Carl Black brought Lisa to the cafe near her school where she used to meet Daniel Brooke. He intentionally brought her to this cafe. He wanted to see the place where she met her ex-boyfriend regularly, and he also wanted to replace the memory of Daniel Brooke in her mind. He ordered Latte for both of them, and it was served quickly. Lisa was not happy when she came to this cafe. There were so many memories of this place. She spent two years of her life with Daniel Brooke. When she entered here, every moment she spent in this place with him came alive in her mind. She didn't want to remember those moments. There were mixed feelings in her heart. She couldn't restrain herself from asking, "Why did you bring me here? There are so many cafes in this city. We can go to any of them." Carl
There were a few open books lying on the table. Carl Black was busy reading those books and making notes in his study. It seemed that he was lost in the world of books. In the meantime, his phone rang. But he was so engrossed in his work that he didn't look at the caller ID when he answered the call, "Hello." There was a silence on the other end for a few moments. He didn't care about it and kept the phone on the table without disconnecting it. He started working again as if nothing had happened. He even didn't glance at the phone. Several minutes later, the phone again rang. This time he didn't pick up the phone. The phone kept ringing until the end of the ringtone and finally stopped. A few minutes later, the phone rang again. This time also he did the same thing. He answered the call without looking at it, "Hello."  
At the end of the day, Lisa's mood was lightened a little. She was about to go back home, but her steps froze when she heard Anna Green calling her from behind. She turned back and saw her approaching her, "What happened to you today? You were so busy that you didn't even come for lunch. I came to call you but when I saw you busy, I left. I thought you will come later." Since morning, Lisa was so upset that she buried her head with her work to avoid the discomfort in her heart. She lost her appetite and didn’t go for lunch. Lisa felt even more uncomfortable to face her inquisitive gaze. She didn't want to tell her what happened between Carl Black and her. She opened her mouth to say something, but before that Anna Green started saying, "Let's go to the cafe. We will sit there and chat, OK?"
At night, Carl Black dialed Lisa's number. The call was connected after a few rings, "Are you free now?" "Hmm... Have you eaten dinner?" "Yes. What about you?" "Yes. Are you still angry with me?" There was a short pause. Then he heard her say, "No, I was worried about you. Take care of yourself. Don't go jogging alone, don't go outside often. Be careful while going and coming back from college. You need to...." "Lisa, I am fine. Don't worry." He interrupted her. He went silent for a few seconds and then continued, "Are you free tomorrow?" "Why?" "I want to spend time with you."
20 minutes ago Jasmine Brown was sipping wine while waiting for Daniel Brooke who went to the restroom. Meanwhile, she received a call from an unknown number. After looking at the screen for some time, she finally answered the call, "Hello." She heard a deep male voice from the other end of the phone, "Hello, Miss Brown. I am Henry. Is Boss with you? I can't reach his number. Can I talk to him?" She laughed softly and replied, "Oh Henry, is that you? Yeah, Daniel has gone to the restroom. I will tell him to call you back." "Thank you, Miss Brown. Sorry to disturb you." The call ended with that. She waited for another 10 minutes but still, he didn't get back. She decided to go
After dinner, Carl Black came out of the restaurant, holding Lisa's hand. They got in the car and sat down. He looked at her and asked softly, "Are you feeling better?" She only nodded in response, looking at her fingers on her lap. He felt heartache to see her so quiet. He didn't know how to cheer her up. When he thought how helpless she might have been feeling when Daniel Brooke mistreated her, his blood boiled in anger. His grip around the steering wheel tightened. At that moment, he wanted to beat Daniel Brooke to death. He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth to endure the brewing anger inside him. After a while, he opened his eyes and started the engine. Lisa leaned back on the seat, closing her eyes. She was exhausted. She wanted to go home as soon as possible. The journey was very quiet. No one opened their mouths.
“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
