Enigma Of The Killer Lecturer

Attention Seeker

Her eyes stared at the ceiling of her room. Her heart didn't stop beating even though she was already in her room.

Strange, she saw Robert's face everywhere. In every corner of the place in her eyes. The man's sad face is hard to forget. He is too handsome, his scent is very good and he has a very strong and strange charm.

Despite the fear of being with him, it made Soraya want to be around him a little longer.

"Love? I really fell in love with him? No way! It's just a feeling of admiration, not love. But, why?"

Drrrnnnggg...drrrnggg...

Her phone rang, an incoming call from her mother instantly interrupted her thoughts about her feelings. Her hands suddenly trembled, she had a bad feeling about this reason her mother contacted her today.

"He-hello Mom?"

"Soraya? Oh my God, you're making me anxious! I saw you on TV. Oh my God, what the hell happened?" From her voice, it was clear that mother was very panicked.

Soraya had already guessed that her family would definitely find out about this news from TV or the internet. Remembering a missing person case happened nearby and got her involved.

"My friend went missing few days ago and the police are currently trying to find her whereabouts."

"Your friend is missing? Oh my God, how come? Are you all right, honey? Tell me, is something bothering you?"

Soraya knew that her mother would surely panic too much like this. She had expected it from the start, which was why she was reluctant to tell her family in Scotland about the trouble she was having. She didn't want her father and mother to ask her to go home and leave her studies in this city.

"Mom, calm down! I'm fine! There's nothing to worry about. One of my close friends is missing, but I hope she's okay."

"Seeing the news on TV, your father was very worried. Your Dad urged me to call you! He also thought to pick you up and take you home!"

"Dad's overreacting, I'm fine! I can take care of myself. Tell dad not to worry! I promise I'll call more often!"

"Then tell your dad directly! He wants to talk to you!"

"Dadr?"

"Hi, honey? How are you? Are you well?" Mr Chamberlain asked his favorite daughter.

Hearing her father's voice, Soraya could not contain her sadness. Since childhood she was very close to her father. A hero who will always guard and protect her from anything. Soraya did not know what would happen if father found out that his beloved daughter was suffering so much and almost died at the hands of a bad man.

"I'm fine, Dad!" She said in a trembling voice.

"Honey, I hope you come home. I'll find you a good university, you don't have to study in that city. I don't think it's safe enough!"

"Dad, this place is usually very safe and also very fun. Sometimes things happen that we don't expect, but it's not something we can avoid. Bad things can happen, just as good things. I like being here and I want to finish my studies until graduation. I hope you and mom can understand!"

"I know, but as a parent, worries are always there. But okay, I get it! Mom and me just want to make sure you're okay. Hang out with nice people and don't come home late at night, ok?"

"Ok, Dad. Thank you, I love you so much!"

"We love you too, honey! Take care of your health and study hard!"

"Okay, Dad! Say hello to Mark and Daniel, tell them, I miss them so much!"

"Okay, I'll tell them! See you later, dear?"

"See you later, Dad!"

Soraya ended the call. She couldn't believe that she could reassure her mother and father that she was fine so they wouldn't force her to come home.

Soraya took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. For a moment, she felt relieved, but on the one hand, she felt confused. She didn't know what to do after this and how to solve the problem in the future.

Drrrttt...drrrttt...

Her phone rang again, this time not from her father or mother, but from David. She knew that David had tried to reach her several times. But at that time, she was with Robert Stanley.

"Hello David, what's up?"

"Where are you? Why did you suddenly disappear?" David asked annoyed that Soraya had suddenly left without saying anything to him.

"I'm sorry, David! I had a headache earlier, so I decided to go home and sleep. I'm really sorry, I should have told you first!"

"It's okay, the important thing is that you're okay. I'm so worried! Have you had lunch? It's almost 4 pm. If you haven't eaten, I'll deliver the food to your room!"

"I've eaten, David! Thank you for worry about me. So how?"

"What do you mean?"

"The body found in the lake? Did you know who she?"

"Not yet confirmed, still waiting for forensic results. But, judging from the hair color of the body. It is clear that it is Diana's body."

"Oh, I see?" Soraya felt very weak if it was true that the body of the naked woman in the lake was Diana's. She didn't want to believe that her closest friend would die in such a manner. Though it felt like just yesterday, they were talking to each other, discussing many things. But now, she had to mentally prepare herself for the worst news.

"David, actually I also feel that the body belongs to Diana. I just can't believe it!"

"You're right, I can understand because I'm still trying to scavenge hope. Hoping for some miracle to bring Diana back. But if it's not her body, then who she? There's no list of missing people other than Diana at this time, because of that-"

Kriieeeettt...

The bedroom door opened, Kerry entered in a hurry while still holding the phone to her ear. Her face looked panicked and agitated, as if something bad had happened to her.

"David, have you done it? I'll call you later!"

"Okay, see you later? Have a good rest!" Said David ended the call.

Soraya knew that this was not the time for you to have a long conversation with David. Seeing the disgusting look on Kerry's face made her nauseous.

"You know where Josh is? He hasn't called me since last night! I went to his Aunt's house, but they said he hasn't been home in a few days. His friends don't know where he is either! His phone is off, I'm so worried!" Kerry said to someone on the phone.

Because they were in the same room, Soraya couldn't help but listen to Kerry's conversation. Soraya is shocked to learn that Josh the bastard is missing.

"He disappeared? Really?" She thought. Soraya remembered that before she lost consciousness from the shoelace strangling her neck, Josh suddenly fainted and fell on top of her.

After that Soraya did not remember anything. She didn't know what had happened nor did she know who had helped her and lifted her body out of the warehouse. She did not know whether at that time someone had come to help her or not.

After finishing the call, Kerry looked very panicked and hysterical. She sobbed, hiding her face in the pillow.

Actually Soraya didn't want to care about her, especially if it was true that Josh had disappeared. Soraya felt it was a stroke of luck that she wouldn't have to see the bastard's face for a while.

"Hiks...hiks..." Kerry sobbed and it made Soraya feel a little sorry for her. Soraya didn't want to try to cheer her up, she didn't want to get herself into Kerry's troubles.

"Hey Soraya!" Said Kerry. Soraya was stunned, she didn't know why Kerry suddenly called her.

"What?"

"Josh's gone! He's gone!"

"Oh, I see?"

"I don't know where he is, I've looked for him everywhere I know. But he's not there, it's very strange. He's never been like this before, he always calls me even though we're fighting."

"Why did you say that to me?"

"I don't know who to tell, I'm so scared. I'm scared if Josh disappears from my life. I can't live without him, I love him so much. What should I do?"

"Listen, Kerry! I really didn't want to tell you this, but I guess I have to. Your boyfriend isn't a nice guy!"

Hearing Soraya's words, Kerry immediately lifted hee head from the pillow and turned to Soraya who was still sitting on her bed.

"What do you mean? Why are you saying that about Josh? You don't know him!"

"You don't know him! Yes, I don't care. I really don't care, because it's up to you! I still warn you not to bring him into the room again. If you persist, I won't forgive you!"

Kerry looked very angry, but in her heart, she was starting to feel afraid of Soraya. Josh wasn't with her and that made her start to lose her confidence. She couldn't do anything without Josh, she really depended on him.

"If Josh isn't around, I'd rather just die!" She said with a very sad look of despair on her face.

Soraya shuddered, she felt very nauseous and wanted to throw up. Kerry started her drama in search of sympathy. Soraya already knew that there was something wrong with Kerry, she was a very strange, secretive, cunning and manipulative girl. But worst of all, she is a drama queen.

Soraya sighed, she didn't have the energy to be angry let alone argue with Kerry. She just wanted to try not to care about her.

"I don't care if you live or die! At least, don't do that around me and give me trouble. If you really can't live without it, just die!"

Soraya was speechless, her irritation and anger leading her to say something very rude. She knows the environment will affect her, living for months with someone who is toxic makes her inevitably have to be more assertive. Constantly giving in to it made her feel very miserable and think that she was powerless.

Hearing her words, Kerry was silent. She didn't say anything or try to create drama by crying and shouting. She lay back down and covered her face with the pillow. Seeing her reaction made Soraya feel guilty and sorry for saying something so mean.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to say it!"
