CHAPTER 6: Webnovel

"I am an introvert so I am not so comfortable with socialising a lot. I love spending quality time with myself by watching films, dramas etc. I listen to a lot of music but most of all I love reading books. I am so addicted to them that I have even started publishing my own novel in an app called Webnovel. Its a great platform for devoted readers and ambitious writers who feel books as a very important part of their life. My readers are too good but I just want to know if they really like the book or not so I want them to comment and add reviews to my story." Riya said.

Zoya thought to herself "They will like your book no doubt in that. And even I am going to start reading e-books at Webnovel, it seems to be quite famous. I have heard a lot about it."

She now added another question of hers to Riya. She said "I have been very curious to know more about your life. I mean what happened after your parents death?" Zoya asked hesitantly.

After hearing this, Riya went into a daze. She kept thinking of how her life completely changed. Memories flashed in her brain like a film. After being slightly shaken by Zoya, Riya came back to her senses. Zoya now looked disappointed.

"I am sorry. I never thought that this would hurt your feelings."

"No Zoya, you shouldn't be." the girl now said in a supportive tone. She later continued to tell "After mum and dad were gone, dad`s elder brother and his wife took my responsibility legally. Dad and uncle had a fight few years before dad`s death. They never spoke to each other after that. I still don't know the reason of the fight but uncle told me he wanted to take care of me in order to be forgiven by my late father. I started to stay with uncle and aunt from then on. I had no other option cause I was just 14 then. They never treated me wrongly but I still longed for the love I used to get from my parents. And now that I am 18, I am an adult so I can take my own responsibility and that's why I am here in another city. I am going to get justice to my parents by finding evidence for the case that the police shut years back" Riya told.

"You will get justice to them and I will help you in it as much as possible. For now let's go down for the dinner and sleep peacefully."Zoya answered with a smile which revealed her sparkling white teeth.

Riya was happy with the assurance she got from Zoya, she truly needed someone to support her when even she wasn't sure if the path she had chosen was right.

"Come let's go. I am craving for the yummy food."

Both the girls moved out of the room leaving it in complete silence when there was a swaying sound of the tree near to the window. A man was standing on the tree with the help of a strong branch of mighty tree.He had a mask on which covered his lower face and he wore a cap to shadow his eyes but there was nothing that could fade away the devilish aura coming from him. He took out a mobile phone from his pocket, making sure not make any noise which could bring attention to him. The man dialed a number before he said "Hello sir, I have confirmed it. Riya, I mean the target is here studying in this college."

"Good, now listen carefully. She must be dead within two weeks. This is the most time I can give you. Don't you dare leave any traces after you kill her and no one should know about my true identity. You understand?" a voice came which was slow yet very coarse.

"Sure sir, I am not going to disappoint you." the man replied not noticing that the man on the other side of the phone had already hung up.

How rude of a person he was. Only if it weren't for the huge amount of money he got from him, he would have never agreed to murder a person. But he had no other choice. His wife was critical in a hospital and the treatment fee was way out of his league, he was doing all this for his wife to get well.
