Billionaire's Delusion

Chapter3

Nia's Point Of View,

I picked up her call instantly. I forgot what happened as I was so happy already. I miss her so d*mn much. In the name of my family, she is the only one I have.

My best friend Shana was with me during all my good and bad times. Most of it bad times I can say. She is the medicine for my all pain. Mere her name on my phone screen made me so happy that it was hard to express it.

"Hey, you have no idea how the hell I missed you. When you are coming back". I know I sounded so excited and childish but I did not feel good without her and now it is been a month since she did not come back. And I miss her every passing minute. It does not feel the same without her.

"Realx Niu, I am coming soon okay? Tell me how are you? She asked and my smile vanished in a blink, I gulped hard. There is no way that I can tell her what happened and I am hell scared.

I composed myself and tried to smile. She calls me Niu and I love it. I forgot everything and started thinking about her.

"I am okay, just missing you so d*mn much". I tried to act neutral but it was not that easy. I know I could tell her anything but there are some secrets no one could know about and they will go with me to my grave. No soul can even suspect it.

"Niu, you do not sound happy. Tell me what happened. Did you have a bad dream again"? She is so innocent God, I wish I could tell her why I get these types of terrible nightmares, but we all know that we can not tell her the truth, right?

"Yeah, I just had one this morning. That is why I am missing you so much Shana, please come soon". The truth is I am scared to be alone after what happened today. And now Sam is also acting weird. I really need a real friend beside me right now. It is getting so hard to cope with this situation and my life.

"Oh God Niu, just do not worry okay? I will try to come soon", I know she wants to come soon but her mom also needs her and she feels alone because Shana wants to stay with me as her college and everything is here. I wish I could invite her parents here too, I also need a family after all but I can not put their lives in danger because of my selfish reasons.

Shana's mom and dad live in a small town and they send her to the city for studies. Now Shana does not like to be there much but she does not want to make her parents upset too.

This time her mom was not fine so she had to stay longer than usual. As for me, I live in my parent's home. After their death, everything belonged to me. I had no idea that my dad already made his will even before I turned eighteen and that everything would transfer to my name automatically after his death but I did not know it would happen so soon. He has gone so soon and I miss him so much. They were the best mom and dad a child could ever wish for, I was so lucky but only for a short time.

"Yeah, I will wait for you. Now go and take care of your mom", I said as I knew her mom would be calling her. My heart aches when see a lady like my mom. All those terrible flashbacks kill me every night.

"Okay, good night, and be fine okay? I miss you", she said before hanging up.

"Miss you more, kisses". I hung up and took a deep breath. I hate it when I lie to her. But it is for her good. She should stay away from the darkness. My smile also died along with this phone call.

I put my phone aside and tried to sleep. The moment I closed my eyes the picture of that board came in front of my eyes.

"Stay f*ck*ng away from him". I just could not stop thinking about it. Who the hell could send this to me? And that gunshot, why no one was talking about it? It is so f*ck*ng strange. There was a gunshot nearby and no one was talking about it, there was no news at all about this.

I have hired a security guard at my front door for so long now. I dialled his number and he picked up my call instantly.

"Yes madam, what happened? He asked me as if everything was so normal.

"Amm hey John, why no one was talking about the gunshot", I asked him as I knew that there was no way that he did not hear it, it was so loud and clear.

"Madam, because no one saw anyone firing it. People tried to find any clue but there was none. That is why no one called the police". I was kind of shocked. Someone fired a bullet but no one called the police. This can not be normal, something is fishy or maybe dangerous.

"Do not worry madam. I am here. Everything is fine. You should sleep now". He assured me and I just took a deep breath in relief. My mind just could not stop thinking about it.

I know I can trust John as he is a friend of my dad and he treats me as a sister, so I know I am safe. I made myself comfortable and tried to sleep. It was hard to sleep but soon I fell asleep. Everything that happened was too much for my mind to handle.

Next Morning-

I did not realize that I slept for so long. I opened my eyes and looked at the watch. It was past ten in the morning. God, something is really wrong with me.

I instantly got up and took a shower after brushing my teeth. I walked down and made my way to the kitchen. Martha already left. She made my breakfast and lunch too. Martha is John's cousin, she is so sweet and helpful, and she loves to take care of me.

I was about to sit and eat but the doorbell rang and I felt annoyed. I got up and went to open the door. I did not hire any permanent maid because Shana is not here and I can not take any risk.

There was no one at the door again but a bouquet was. My heart started beating so damn fast as I recalled what happened the previous night.

I gulped hard and picked it and just then someone appeared in front of my eyes making me scared to death.
