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
Tring..... A loud noise of alarm disturbed Daniel Brooke’s sleep. He reached out to turn off the alarm. Then he lazily opened his eyes. He had a little headache. Rubbing his forehead with two fingers, he sat upon the bed. Then he remembered getting drunk with Jasmine Brown. After that, he couldn't remember anything. When he tried to recall it, he felt a throbbing pain in his head. He looked around to find her in the room but didn't see any trace of her. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. While taking shower, he recalled he was making out with Lisa. He frowned and froze for a moment. How could that be? He clearly remembered he called Jasmine Brown to celebrate together and got drunk. After that, he couldn’t remem
“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
