Gun-Shot

Cyra's pov

After our marriage, we both never were happy for a second. The moment we communicated with you on mobile, we never thought our way of life would shape upward down.

If Leo didn't agree to marry me, his father blackmailed him that he would harm your family. Particularly, because of the blackmail, he agrees to marry me.

"I will never touch anyone other than my Jiju so let's be friends." Leo mentioned this term. I thought if day passes, he will change. But, he didn't change a percent of his policy. For three years, we remained friends. Life is going smoothly.

A bit by bit, I noticed a difference in him. He communicated by adding Jiju in every sentence and pausing longer inside the storage room. I tried many times to communicate and move him out of the storage room, but he declined. His parents also spoke with him, but he only said Jiju... Jiju... All the time. After a stage, we discovered he is psychologically distracted. We took him to many specialists, but to no use.

Few months ago, I heard. "Hey, give it to him. He is my boy, Jiju. Silas! You come to papa, baby." By facing the wall he is expressing. I thought if a baby is present in front of him, he will doubtless improve step by step. So, I adopted him and offered him a name, Silas. But no benefit. Leo never looks over Silas even once. He... He just remains inside the storage room.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Yes, it's all correct. I and Leo discussed baby names. I was the one who recommended "Silas". Leo too admired it.

"Leo, you worked out so much. It's all my fault. I must never give up on him. Sorry Crya, I spoiled your life." I was sobbing. Crya lays down Silas on the floor. She appeared near me and hugged.

"Please don't break down, Jia. It's not your fault. It's all because of Leo's parents."

"Leo's parents!!! How are they?!"

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Crya's pov

Yeah, it's all because they broke up with you both. But, they are misleading themselves by claiming it's your fault.

Leo's parents are extremely desperate. Your parents are looking for an alliance for you. Leo's family lawyer arrives along with his offspring, James. James who successfully graduated in law last month and just visited Leo's villa. Leo's father convinced James. James was also a wealth digger so he accepted the chance. He offered money for a couple to act as his parents and get inside your family. 

Leo's father demands your family to be down and be ashamed because of your marriage. But you're so lucky, your Aunt's son married you. After discovering it, Leo's parents become more engaged.

Lucas, he is a friend of Leo's dad. After coming back from the Military, he used to do business with Leo's dad. Lucas worked in the Military, so Leo's parents hoped he would have worked out his task clearly. Leo's dad orders Lucas to destroy you. Lucas tried to hit you twice, but thank God! You escaped and noticed every unusual thing happened around you. You also appointed a boy to follow the car. Somehow, James found out about the boy and gave an alert warning. 

You may have a doubt about why they want to kill you? They thought, because of you, Leo is like this. Actually, they didn't try to murder you. They try to lose your hand or limb. After learning about the boy you hired. Leo's dad was frightened. What if Lucas is arrested and reveals everything? This is the reason for Lucas's death. Leo's dad. killed Lucas.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"Wait... Wait... Then a boy declared he only killed Lucas." I quizzed.

"Jia, he is just a step forward in favor of Leo's dad. Leo's dad needs to take care of himself from his crime. So that you will concentrate on James. Poor fellow! James knows nothing about Leo's dad playing."

"So, what that boy confesses is all a lie?"

"Jia, for over thirty years, Leo's dad was in this business field. He trusted no one easier. What if James steps forward and cracks about Leo's dad playing? For an info, Leo's dad is the one behind your brother's accident."

"Why didn't you report this in the police station? Crya."

"Leo is one who didn't love me but I have always loved him and waited for him till now. Leo's parents told all the rubbish they are working out, it's all for Leo and me. If Leo's dad knows I explained everything, he will surely kill me. Please help us, Jia." Crya started breaking down and pleading.

"Cool down..." I began to console her, but I heard a gunshot. Within a fraction of seconds, the bullet reached Crya's forehead. I looked in the direction of the bullet. There is a guy hiding his face with a black mask, still standing behind the window by seizing the shotgun. I chased towards the guy, but he disappeared. Again, I came back to Villa and passed near Crya. It's too late, Crya is no more. Shit, I had hardly one evidence. How can I allow it like this? 

I can hear Silas howling noise. Now, I have only one path, which is to take care of Leo and Silas. I rushed towards the first-floor bedroom. I took Leo down to the Hall. Before the guy carries out a step, I need to lead it. So, I carried Silas in one hand, while holding Leo. I can't carry Cyru's body, so I left her in the villa. We ran towards my car and settled inside. I don't know where I should take them? 

At the correct stage, Alan called me. 

"Hey! Jia, where are you? Quickly, bring Crya to the station." 

"Alan, a guy killed Crya." 

"What! What are you speaking? You only took her out." 

"Yes, but I didn't kill her. Leo's dad... Yes, he is behind both Lucas and Crya's murder. He is the one who planned to kill me. Now, I don't know what to do?" I screamed. 

"Don't be anxious. Where are you now?" 

"It's unnecessary now. You instantly move to Leo's Villa please." 

"Okay, I will lead there." 

At the Commissioner's Office. Knock… knock… knock… 

"Get in." Commissioner said. 

"Yes, sir." I walked inside the cabin. 

"You're the suspect of Cyra's murder. So, be inside the city. Don't travel outside without our knowledge. We will call you anytime to investigate. Now, you may go."

"But, sir."

"No more arguments, Jia."

I silently walked towards the door. Commissioner called me. I paused and glanced at him. 

"Handover your pistol and handcuff."

"Sorry, sir."

I dropped my pistol and handcuff on the desk. Without glancing back, I stepped out of the commissioner's office.
