I AM WATCHING YOU

CHAPTER : 16

I knocked again when no one answered. I could now hear the little footsteps running to get the door.

The door flew open and I was greeted by a pair of pretty blue eyes. "SOPHIA!" He shouted and jumped into my arms which were already open for him. How much I missed him.

"I missed you buddy" I wiped the tears from my eyes and hugged him tighter than ever. I looked back and saw Bella sitting inside the car giving me a thumbs up. I nodded and grabbed Adrian's hand and pulled him inside the house.

"Where were you? I tried finding you but Emma said you were gone." He said pouting. I didn't have the heart to leave him and had to come back. After all, he was my baby brother.

I crouched down to his level and smiled. "I had some things to take care of. Now that I'm here, I don't want to see no tears." I tickled him lightly and he started laughing like a maniac. I stood up and ruffled his hair. "You're so dramatic."

"You're dramatic." He shouted jumping up and down.

"I didn't know you were coming." Emma stood in front of me with a cupcake.

I took a bite and good heavens! Delicious flavours filled my mouth.

"I didn't know you could bake. I would've come way sooner." I spoke with my mouth full. She laughed and led me to the dining table. Adrian told me stories on what they had been doing while I was gone. I'm glad he was recovering.

Unknown p.o.v

I made my way to the room I was looking for. I took out the paper from my coat pocket and held it in front of me. Switched the cameras off, check. Wore an employee uniform, check. Stayed out of sight, check.

I stepped into the room for the one thing which was left to do.

"I need to be fast." I whispered to myself and pulled out a knife hurriedly.

I looked at Mr. Miller and sighed. "I didn't mean it to be you." Just like that, I stabbed him in his stomach. Multiple times. Every time my mind reminded me he couldn't take it anymore and he's probably dead. But i just couldn't stop. I did it again and again until my hand started hurting.

I looked at the beautiful mess. Blood was pooling down from his body to the floor. Sophia would not like this one bit.

I found a notepad on the table. Tearing a page from it, I wrote her a message.

Happy with my work, I got out of the room raising no suspicious thoughts. And just like that, I was done. For now.

Sophia's p.o.v

"I think it's time for bed." I got up and switched off the tv.

The sound of a phone ringing made me stop. I went into the kitchen and found my phone lying on the counter. I picked it up and saw an unknown number.

"Hello?"

"Hello Ms Miller. I'm calling from the hospital regarding your father, Mr. Miller."

Were they finally letting me see him?

"Yeah?"

"We would like you to come and talk to the doctor. There has been an incident."

My heart stopped beating. "What incident?" I asked, my voice shaking.

"I think it'd be best if we discuss it in person." With that he hung up the phone.

I quickly got up and grabbed my shoes without even thinking it through. I was scared to find out what happened. Maybe, I should be positive and think of it as an recovery news.

Emma walked to me with a concerned face. "What's wrong?"

"Hospital called. Some incident took place. I need to go. Take care of Adrian." She nodded. I took my phone out and  called Bella.

Few minutes later, a car pulled up the curb. I ran fast and sat inside it and she drove off. We both didn't speak the entire ride and I was glad for it.

As soon as we reached the hospital, I ran inside. I could hear Bella shouting, "I'll park the car and come." I didn't respond because I was too busy focusing on how to get to his room.

As I neared the room, I could see police tapes crossing the door. I felt like someone had just stabbed my chest. I knew what had happened and I couldn't bear hearing it.

"I'm here." Bella's sound filled the hallway. "Can anyone tell us what happened?"

"Are you Ms Miller?" One of the doctors asked her. She shook her head and pointed to me.

"I'm sorry but you're father was murdered." More pain started radiating through my whole body. The words were echoing all over my head. I could see the doctor's mouth moving. I could see Bella talking to him but I couldn't hear anything.

I blocked out everything and focused on what had happened. My mom was murdered. My dad was murdered. There was no doubt whoever it was will soon get to Adrian. They wanted me to suffer and they were succeeding in it.

A/N

They're currently not attending school because of  the mess going on. Most probably, they'll be attending it from next session. School is the least of their worries for now.

Emma only works as a nanny so it's convenient for her to watch over Adrian. Plus, she sees them as family so it's no trouble for her.

The cops ARE investigating behind the murder. It's just that they have stopped contacting her as they can't find any visible clues.
