Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 192

"Mr. Brooke, please, I have obeyed all your orders. What are you going to do to me now?" Carla asked.

Brooke pushed her into the room and thrust a phone into her hand.

It was her cellphone.

"Someone called for you. Call them back and tell them you were in the shower. That's why you missed their call. Tell them. Now! Call them!"

Brooke commanded. He chewed on his gum while he took a sharp knife from his men. He pressed it against Carla's throat and threatened, "Don't say a word about us. Or I'll slit your throat! Your friend won't be fast enough to save you!"

Carla held back her tears and assured him, "I won't try to do anything stupid, Mr. Brooke. I promise I won't tell them anything about this and about you. Please, just don't hurt me with the knife, please!"

But Brooke kept the knife against her throat. She fought back her tears and lifted her cellphone to eye level so she could check her calls. There were five unanswered calls.

Four were from Terence, and the last one was from- Noah? What!

Carla took a few deep breaths to calm herself before she talked to Brooke again, "Mr. Brooke, please, can you move the knife away while I make the call? The knife is making me nervous. And my friends will hear that I'm nervous while I'm talking to them. They'll know something is wrong."

Brooke thought for a minute and removed the knife from her throat. He knew she couldn't escape anyway. And even if she told them, she would be dead before they could find her.

Carla took several more deep breaths to calm her nerves. She turned to her phone while she fought back tears. She was about to press Terence's name when her phone rang.

"Answer it, now! And use the speaker!"

Brooke commanded in a panic.

Carla accepted the call and answered, "Hello?" She tried to make herself sound normal.

"Carla! Where have you been? I have been calling you several times!" Terence's voice boomed on the speaker. He was worried when Carla didn't answer his call immediately.

Carla cleared her throat to clear the nerves. She bit her lower lip before she answered, "No need to panic, Terence. I was just in the shower; that's why I wasn't able to answer your calls."

"Are you all right, Carla?" Terence continued to ask. He had been worried when she didn't answer but he was relieved when he finally heard her voice.

He called her five times and she only answered on the fifth call. He was ready to organize a search party for her.

"Yes, yes, I'm fine. Hey, did you like the pig that I drew for you?" she asked. A smile formed on her lips unconsciously as she remembered her small gift for Terence. Tears threatened to fill her eyes.

Terence chuckled, "Of course I do! I loved the painting below it, too. They're both mounted already. Actually, Sean loved the pig drawing. So I let him keep it in his room."

"I'm really glad you like them. I need to go now, honey. I'm visiting the factory early tomorrow morning so I need to go to bed now."

Carla ended the call before Terence could say anything else. She knew that if the conversation continued, she would break down and give away her situation.

Brooke nodded at her when Carla ended the call. She knew her plan worked because Brooke didn't say anything. But then he pointed to the other caller and commanded, "Call this one back!"

Carla was dumbfounded. 'Call Noah?

Should I call Noah?' she thought.

In JA City, at that same moment, Terence stared at his cellphone. Carla ended the conversation so fast that it shocked him.

And honey?

She had never ever called him honey. And in such an intimate way. But her voice was very normal like nothing was wrong. Something was going on.

"Nathan, arrange for your men to visit Carla's hotel. Check if she is in her room or not. If she is in the room, make sure everything is fine. Keep an eye on everything happening around her and for anything unusual!"

Terence instructed as soon as Nathan arrived.

Back at the place Carla was being held, Carla stared at her phone while she thought of a plan to delay the command. Nothing came to mind and she had no choice but to call the number.

Brooke and his men wouldn't know who the callers were since she used different nicknames when she saved their numbers on her phone.

Terence's name was saved as Prince T.

Noah's was saved as Big Wolf.

She thought of Noah as an unassuming but cunning wolf. He seemed kind at first but turned out to be very dangerous.
