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.
Lisa's sleep was disturbed by the bright sunlight coming through the crack of the curtains. She rubbed her eyes and opened them slowly. She lazily set up on the bed, yawning widely. When she saw the bright sunshine she realized that she overslept. "Oh no, I am late. Aaa choo...." She grabbed the phone to see the time, but she found out that the call was still connected. Her eyes went wide in surprise. She remembered Carl Black telling her last night that he wouldn't disconnect the call until she fell asleep. She put the phone on her ear to check if he was still on the line or not. The moment she kept the phone in her ear, she heard his familiar deep voice, "Good morning, love." She was startled and was about to jum
Jasmine Brown was lying flat on her bed, staring at the ceiling. The entire night she didn't close her eyes for a second. The memories of last night were flashing over and over again in her mind. Knock… Knock A knock on the door snatched her out of her trance. She was irritated by the disturbance. She shouted with annoyance, "Who is that?" The maid who came to call her trembled slightly. She then responded in a panicked tone, "Young miss, Mr. Alex has come to meet you." "Alright." She got up from the bed and went out of her room lazily. She had been waiting for him since last night. When Alex D'
Daniel Brooke was unaware that someone was capturing his every movement in the camera. When they came out of the warehouse, that person took out his phone, called someone, and talked mysteriously. He left the place quietly after passing the information. The next day, Daniel Brooke came back to 'X' city. His men arranged a house in the countryside to keep Neil Green. They had done this so secretly that the people who were following them couldn't track them at all. Michael Harrison was pacing back and forth in his study room. His expression was sinister. His eyes were bloodshot, and his body language was murderous. Kyle Kings was standing quietly, hanging down his head. His men were searching for the informer ever since the court had given a verdict against Albert Harris
Soon the car reached his penthouse. Lisa was too terrified to get out of the car. She only looked at Daniel Brooke speechlessly. She saw him opening the door for her. But she stubbornly looked up at him and didn't go out of the car. Daniel Brooke lowered his head to undone the seat belt and carried her horizontally. His movement was so swift and fast that she didn't get any time to react. When she regained her senses, she was already in his arms. She wriggled around and yelled angrily, "What are you doing? Put me down, put me down." He hugged her tightly and said, "Don't move, you may fall." He then started walking with long strides. Lisa understood that she couldn't win with him, so she stopped moving. The corner of his lips curled up slightly when he saw her being so
Once they came inside the house Anna Green took out the ice pack from the refrigerator and went to Lisa's room. She passed it to her and said, "Place it on your face, it will soothe you." Lisa took the ice pack and placed it on her slightly swollen cheek. She felt much better. She laid on her bed, closing her eyes. Anna Green asked, "Shall I call Mr. Black and inform him about the kidnapping?" Lisa abruptly sat up on the bed and roared, "Don't call him." Then she looked around and lowered her voice, "Are you mad? I am trying to minimize the problem, and you want to tell him. Can you imagine the consequences? Daniel will stop chasing me once I get married. Please, Anna, I am requesting you, don't tell anyone about this." Anna Green hopped on the bed and said in a seriou
Lisa stared at Mack Black’s leaving figure in a daze. As per Helen Black, Carl Black should come with him, then where was he? Why was he not coming till now? Was he OK? All these questions increased her agitation. At that time, she recalled Daniel Brooke's threat. She felt as if a gust of chill wind passed through her body, and her hair stood on her back. She was so scared and worried about his safety that tears started streaming down. People inside the chapel began to murmur when they noticed the delay in the arrival of the groom. Mark Holmes also felt something wrong. He walked towards Helen Black and asked worriedly, "Is everything alright, Mrs. Black? Where is Carl?" Helen Black was so embarrassed that her face turned pale. She didn't know what to say. She also heard the mu
Helen Black squatted beside him and asked worriedly, "Carl, what happened to you? Why are you like this?" Mack Black helped him to get up and supported him to stand. He scanned him up and down carefully, totally baffled. Carl Black was only looking straight at the altar. His eyes were searching for Lisa. Though his vision was blurry, he could still see vaguely her lonely slender figure standing at the altar. He blinked his eyes a few times as if he wanted to see her face clearly. Lisa also stared at him. She was so shocked to see him in such a condition that she forgot how to breathe. She wanted to rush to him, but for an unknown reason, she couldn't move an inch as if she was rooted on the spot. So far, she was shedding her tears quietly, but the moment she saw him, her tears
Carl Black patted her hand and consoled, "Don't worry. They may come for a simple inquiry of the accident. Wait for me here. Hmm?" Then he released her hand and walked down slowly from the altar. As his vision was blurry, he walked slowly to the entrance yet elegantly. Anna Green held Lisa's hand tightly and stared at his slowly retreating back worriedly. Helen Black was so nervous to see the police that her legs softened. She was about to fall, but Linda Holmes supported her at the right time. Mark Holmes then said, "Let Mrs. Black sit down first. I will go and check with Carl." Linda Holmes walked down from the altar supporting Helen Black and made her sit on the front pew. She then grabbed a water bottle and passed it to her, "Drink some water, Mrs. Black. Everythin
