His Cruel Revenge

Chapter 1

Riya's POV

I was driving as fast as possible to get away from them. ‘I must escape this time at all cost' I said to myself.

I took a right turn, as it is night and my vision is blurry because of tears, I couldn’t see properly and suddenly I hit something with my car.

“Aah” a scream left from my mouth and I stopped the car with a jerk. With shaking hands I opened the car door and got down from the car. My legs are trembling very badly because of fear.

I looked in front of me to check what came in front of my car. I fell on my knees and my hands made their way to my mouth in shock and fear.

I just hit a woman with my car. Tears started rolling down from my eyes.

I……I just killed someone.

I opened my eyes and sat up with a jerk I looked around and sighed deeply. I am in my room. It was just a nightmare.

I still remember that day as it happened yesterday. It’s been around a month since that incident happened. No matter what I do, I can’t get that incident out of my mind.

Her face still haunts me.

You might be wondering why am I not in jail when I killed someone. So let me tell you, I am Riya Williams.

And my surname is the reason why I am still free. My father is a leader of a big mafia group and a very big billionaire as well.

He wiped all the evidences of that day. No he didn’t do it for me, but for himself. He couldn’t bear any harm to his reputation because of me. And taking care of an accident and hiding all the evidences is something very easy for him.

He is doing that for years as killing others is an everyday thing for him. But for me, it was my first time. I wanted to turn myself in to police, confess my crime and get punishment for it but I couldn’t. My parents didn’t allow me to do so.

We don’t even know the person I hit that day. If I knew, I would have gone to her family members and would have apologized sincerely.

But I couldn’t. We couldn’t see her face in the CCTV footage, near that road properly as it was covered in blood and it was night time.

By the time my dad's men reached there to take care of the body, it was disappeared.

And there was no footage of who took her. I am sure she must be from an influential family, because we didn’t find even a trace of who took her. And I overheard my father’s communication that someone is looking for the culprit of that hit and run case.

From that day I am living my life in guilt and having nightmares of that day, almost every time I sleep.

I came out of my thoughts when I heard a knock on the door. Even before I could say anything the door opened and my sister walked inside my room with a grin on her face.

“good morning sis, did you sleep well?” she asked sitting on my bed. She is the only one who knows that I am having those nightmares.

“good morning Kate, I slept well and you?” I asked her.

“Me too, get ready fast. You haven’t forgotten that we are going to shopping?” she asked.

“no I haven’t, I will be ready in thirty minutes. Wait for me downstairs” I said. She gave me her biggest smile then left my room. I smiled looking at her happy face.

She is eighteen years old but still she behaves like a child. She is my everything and I can do anything for her.

I got down from the bed and made my way to bathroom. I did my morning routine and took a shower. I wore blue jeans and green top. I pulled my hairs in a ponytail, wore my sneakers and took my purse. I am ready to go.

I came out of my room and made my way downstairs. We decided that we will have our breakfast out. I saw her sitting in the living room waiting for me while doing something in her phone.

“Let’s go Kate” I said. She looked up at me and got up from the couch. “Lets go, I am so excited” she said linking her arm with mine.

I can understand why she is so excited. We are going out for shopping after six months. But this is not the main reason for her happiness. The thing which is making her happy is that we will get to spend some quality time together after a long time.

But can we ever stay happy in this house? The answer is big no.

Just as we were about to leave my brother’s voice stopped us, “Riya”.

We turned around to face him. Kate looked down and took a little step trying to hide herself behind my back.

“Where are you two going so early in the morning?” he asked in his cold voice. His eyes are as cold as ice.

If you are thinking that he is asking me this because he is worried about our safety, then let me tell you, you are wrong.

“I asked you something” he said a little loudly when I didn’t say anything. Kate flinched a little and her grip on my arm tightened telling me that she is scared.

“We are going out for shopping” I replied slowly. He looked at both of us then said, “let’s eat breakfast, dad wants to say something to everyone”.

I took a breath of relief when he left.

“Sorry, we will have to go later” I said apologetically. There is no way that I can disobey my father. I am too scared to do that.

“Why are you saying sorry, it’s not your fault” she said with a small smile. We made our way to dining table. Everyone is already seated on their respective places.

I sat at my usual chair and Kate sat beside me.

“Don’t you know the time for breakfast? Why are you late?” my father’s deep voice echoed in the room. My heartbeat raised because of fear. I felt Kate holding my hand under the table, to calm me.

“We were going out, we had already informed mother” Kate said slowly without looking into his eyes. I am glad she replied for me. He nodded his head and started eating.

We also started eating. My brothers and father got engaged in work related conversation.

I have two brothers Jack and John. Well we are step siblings. They are son of my father’s legal wife whereas I and Kate are results of his drunken one night stand mistakes. Jack and John both of them are older than us and dad loves them very much.

Jack is twenty six and will become the next leader of Williams mafia group. While John is twenty two and will help his brother in handling the business.

Did I tell you guys that my father owned many companies and he is among top five richest billionaire in the world. Yes, he is that rich.

“Good morning Dad” I heard Sara's voice. She is my sister but unlike me and Kate, her mother is not one of his one night stand but his wife, Vanessa. Sara is 24 years old.

“Good morning my princess” he wished her back with a warm smile. He has never smiled at me or Kate like this. He only looks in our direction with disgust.

You might be wondering why we are living with them when he hates us. It is because he can use us for his benefits. No one apart from our family and household staff, knows that we are his illegitimate children.

Everyone thinks he loves me and Kate just like he loves his other three kids. All the people believes that Vanessa is our mother. Only if they knew about the truth.

Vanessa didn’t like my father's womanizer behavior but she couldn’t leave the luxury he was offering, so she would just sulk for few days and fight with him. But she never decided to leave him.

“Richard Stone is coming to our house for lunch” my dad announced. Everyone including me looked at him with wide eyes.

“What? But why?” Jack asked him.

Stone's are our enemies. Just like my father they are also very feared in underworld. In fact they are more dangerous.

I can’t understand why they are coming here.

“They are coming here with a proposal to end the cold war between us and join hands with us. I think it’s a good idea. It will make us most feared mafia in the world. It is win win for both of our groups” he stated.

One thing I learnt from growing up within mafias is that along with being ruthless and cruel they are power hungry. They always look for a way to become more powerful.

“Oh but still, we can’t trust them. I will improve the security. If they try anything, they will die today” Jack said. He is very skilled and Cruel just like father. That is why dad adores him very much.

“Hmm do that. I want everyone of you to behave well” he said looking directly at me and Kate. We nodded our head in yes.

Now our plan to go outside is ruined completely.

After the breakfast I went to my room. I don’t know why but I have a very bad feeling, like something very bad is going to happen.

Hours passed and soon it was time for guest to arrive. I am helping the maids in preparing lunch. I love cooking.

“They are here” Kate said as she made her way inside.

“There are almost ten man and they all look scary” she whispered slowly.

“Don’t worry, they won’t hurt you” I replied.

“Do we have to go outside, can’t we just stay in our room. You know, he don’t even love us or care about us, so why do we have to go outside” she said.

“Are you scared?” I asked her knowing very well what will be her answer.

“I am, if we made any mistake he will punish us” she muttered under her breath. I really feel bad. I am her older sister, I am supposed to protect her but I can’t.

“Don’t worry, I will take your punishment” I said. This is the least I can do for her.

“why would you do that?” she asked.

“Because I am your elder sister” I replied and she smiled a bit. Before she can say anything else a maid said, “sir is asking for your presence”.

“thank you” I said and made my way to living room with Kate.

With each step my heart beat is rising and the feeling that something bad is about to happen is increasing.

Why am I feeling so uneasy.

We reached the living room. My dad and Mother, Jack, John and Sara are already present. They are talking about something.

A man in his fifties, whom I assumed to be Richard Stone is sitting in front of dad like a king on the couch. Beside him two men are sitting. Both of them are handsome.

Kate is openly ogling them, especially the one with blue eyes and brown hairs. He looks dangerous.

“They are here” dad said softly. He introduced us and we sat down after greeting them. I felt someone's eyes on me. I looked around to find those blue eyes staring at me with intensity.

Run!!

My mind is screaming this one word again and again but I can’t. The consequences will be too painful which I don’t want to bear.

“to make this alliance more trustworthy and strong, I was thinking how about we form another relationship between us.” Mr. Richard said.

Dad frowned at his words and asked, “what do you mean?”

“I can’t trust you completely and I am sure you don’t trust me completely as well. So to strengthen our bond, I would like to ask for your daughter's hand for my son, Black. And we will form this alliance only if you agree with this marriage, otherwise we go our separate ways” Richard explained.

I can’t believe that they are putting such a condition. Dad is very greedy but I doubt that he will marry Sara to one of his enemy.

A cold humorless chuckle left from Dad’s lips.

“How can I trust that you will take care of my princess and will not use her against me?” dad asked seriously. His voice is laced with dominance but none of them flinched even a slightest bit.

“you will have to trust me. It is like a security that you won’t back stab me. And I won’t back stab you. I am sure as your daughter she must be skilled with weapons” Mr. Richard said.

Well Sara is well trained fighter. She can definitely kill someone. But Black seems too strong for her.

Dad is thinking about his words when Sara said, “don’t worry dad. They are here to establish peace between two families. We should trust them a bit. Moreover I am strong enough to take care of myself” she said.

I don’t understand why I and Kate have to be present here. They can decide what they want to do.

“But princess….” Mother tried to speak something but was cut off in the middle with a voice, “I think you are mistaken about something” Black said.

His face is void of any expression. It is impossible to guess what he is thinking about.

“We are not asking for Sara’s hand but your other daughter” he said and a frown made its way on my face.

Not Sara, then who?

Soon that frown replaced with fear when his eyes landed on me and realization hit me hard.

“I want to marry Riya” he said looking into my eyes.

My hands started trembling upon hearing his words.

Why does he wants to marry me?

I looked in my father's direction and tears filled inside my eyes when I saw my future in his cold grey eyes. The evil glint in his eyes says everything, that he agrees.

A tear rolled down from my eyes when he uttered his next words,

“Let’s seal the deal”.
