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."

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.

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'

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

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
