Winter's embrace [ Completed ] {EDITING}

Chapter four: This is far more complicated than it was!

"I don't know what to think !" I shouted on Sneha, my cousin sister from that aunt of mine. She is telling me through our video call that she atleast should come over to sort out the matter and help me in this times of real distress and I am not allowing that because that witch still is not aware what happened earlier today and the killer as I think and suppose is trying to prove that he can get away with whatever he or she has done without facing my wrath which I am still keeping inside and waiting for the ideal time to make it come out. Trying to make me calm down she says, "Di, you need to say her and all the relatives out there and even Adarsh is missing , are you not feeling gaslighted by the whole situation , I think the killer is stalling time as he or she wants to do something bigger than this that will make you suffer until you freaking die."

I am starting to ponder on the fact that indeed this can be true and not even giving myself the time to mourn over loss that is over a lifetime. "I need some time to think and process the whole situation that has occurred to me and only me , sorry for being selfish ,S . But, I love you."

She tells me, " I know your situation and am not judging your decisions for it and may I remind you that one thing that you forget that is you are the best, take your time and we will investigate in our way, this together and strictly I am not going to leave you alone by any means ." She then proceeds to end the call because of aunt poking her head inside her room ominously.  An evening full of uncertainty and stress is what I receive after that and nowadays, it has become a everyday situation. I proceed to look into my laptop and try to track my brother who has now gone missing for like more than four days on the same day mom and dad's body was found. I don't even look in the mirror nowadays and do not know how my face looks like because all I do things like a robot and end the day either by taking help from my friends from the FBI and the police here . Most helpless I am feeling because even if I had the influence back in the day still, it is not helping much and I am feeling like this whole case is a deep rooted one and only to corner me someway or the other it was done. Today again , I am here sipping a cup of hot coffee and looking into my laptop for my brother's last location details only to find nothing that may give me a bit of solace in my disarrayed life. Suddenly, a text pops up and I feel someone lurking just outside my window that I was sitting near to, I grab my phone and read the text "ARE YOU ASKING FOR ANSWERS BABY?" it disgusts me and I know this murderer and stalker is keeping a keen watch on my movements with  the police if not my interaction with my friends from my former position and my relatives . An instant thought thunders my mind  which is that my relatives are not being attacked but my closest of all persons can be in danger as I am the person whom they are trying to corner, torture and no else, a pair of sadistic eyes are always watching me ,enjoying my dismay to the fullest extent. I call Emily and tell her to give me police protection whenever I go out or maybe when I am inside my home too , may be this is sounding foolish but the killer can attack me anytime and I now don't even possess a service revolver that will help me counter that person if that person resorts to more violent methods excluding martial arts which I am known for.

One thing , I am sure of this is getting far more complicated than it was with the killer toying with my emotions on a daily basis through stalking and sending me texts like a creep to be told the least. 

The next day, Emily comes to my home running saying the neighbourhood is turning empty slowly and slowly , must be either the manipulation or they don't want to get themselves in trouble because of me. "I have already thought of selling the vacation house ,Emily." I stated.

" Seriously, because of that creep?"

"No, I think nothing new or good has ever happened to me after buying this house , so I am leaving. Any news on my brother?"

She appeared sad as her instant facial expression appeared to me. Then, she says, " We have news on your brother but I am not sure if you will actually be able to bear it."

Not being able to withstand the tension within me created by those words of hers , I sit down on the sofa my eyes fixated on my laptop so that the company stocks I had bought before would comfort me by the rise of it .
