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
Lisa stared at him dumbly. 'This man is unbelievable.' In this situation also he was thinking about romance. She was a little angry and tried to get up, but he hugged her tightly. She started struggling but she heard him whimper. She immediately stopped moving afraid that it would hurt him more and asked helplessly, "Why are you doing this? Let me take you to the hospital, please." "Hmm?" "What hmm? I know you are in pain. Why don't you want to go to the hospital?" She was helpless as well as irritated. He whispered in her ear, "Kiss me then." "You..."
The bathroom door was cracked open, and Carl Black came out from the bathroom, wearing only a towel around his waist, showing his bare lean upper body. Lisa was staring at him like an idiot, mouth ajar. His messy hair, handsome face, clear and bewitching black eyes intoxicated her. She couldn’t avert her gaze from him. Carl Black was aware of her burning gaze. He smiled and shook his head, "What are you staring for? Go and freshen up." It was only when that she regained her senses. She was so embarrassed that her face turned red immediately. Her cheeks were burning. She looked away from him and stuttered, "I-I didn't b-bring my clothes." "It's OK. As of now, you can wear any of my t-shirts." He said these words casually, but for he
They started drinking and chatting happily. Very soon, one bottle of wine had finished. Daniel Brooke took out another bottle and poured the wine for both of them. They were drinking one after another glass. They finished two more bottles. They were a little tipsy by now. Jasmine Brown's face was flushed. She felt slightly dizzy as well. Her vision was also blurry. But Daniel Brooke was not ready to stop drinking. He stood up to bring another bottle. Jasmine Brown grabbed his wrist to stop him, "Wait. I can't drink more. You should also stop drinking now." Frowning, Daniel Brooke looked down at her and said disdainfully, "I am not done yet." She stood up from her chair and hugged him, "I want you to be awake for a while with
After dinner, Carl Black cast a meaningful glance at Mack Black. Mack Black slightly nodded in response. Lisa was about to take the dishes for washing, but Carl Black stopped her, "Don't worry about the dishes. Servants will do that. Go to the room. I will be back soon." Lisa nodded and went back to the bedroom. Once she went inside the room, both brothers went to the study room and locked the door from inside. Mack Black asked instantly, "Do you suspect anyone? I think recently you made some enemies. Do you remember the attack on you while jogging? Don't you feel odd? Don't you think that someone is targeting you and attacking you back to back?" "You are overthinking. I don't think there is a connection between these two att
