My One And Only - Chapter 27 The Black Envelope

Noticing the black envelope, Sofya couldn’t help but have an ominous feeling. Picking it up, she noticed her name beautifully engraved in golden italic letters on the cover.

Feeling nothing good could come out of this all, she opened the envelope. Inside was a letter in red ink.

‘ Miss Khemka

You don’t me but I know you very well. I write to you this letter because I think you are the only one who can help me in bringing closure that I am looking for.

I need to know the truth about what happened to the Mrs. Raizada of the Raizada family. If the reports are as evidence suggest, then it means Mr. Raizada did really kill his wife, something which I believe he is incapable of doing.

I need to catch the real culprit behind this and know why he is protecting them. This is something that I believe you can help me to achieve.

What I am writing to you, should remain between me and you only, otherwise there will be dire consequences.

For instance, Mr. Khemka can really die in his old age, something might happen to Mr. Raizada when he next time decides to visit the church or Advay might get seriously injured during his try outs. The list goes on and on. I hope you get the gist.

Your time begins now. I will contact you again later.

Your Well Wisher. ‘

Sofya held the letter for a few minutes in her hand, trying to make sense of it. This lunatic wanted her to find out the real murder of Mrs. Raizada.

She had known for a fact that Mr. Raizada had been charged for his wife’s murder. Later he was released because of not enough evidence present to incorporate him as a murder. The police had kept the case open for some time, but after finding no clues, the case was dismissed.

But this had a deep impact on the family ties, especially Arnav. Arnav was too close to his mother and having seen the entire scene with his own eyes at such an early age, had a deep impact on his mind. He was convinced his own father had killed his mother for reasons unknown to him. This only increased his hatred for his father, and after that incident, he had refused to acknowledge him as his dad, even in front of the world.

Sofya thought about it. Maybe she could actually help this lunatic and Arnav both have closure. Maybe she could actually ease the tension between him and his father. The more she thought about it, the more it seemed like a reasonable offer.

Of course, seeing the dangers involved, she would tell no one and would have to operate alone.

After all, that was what she was best at.

Raizada Holdings Corporations

‘ Bang ‘

Everyone shivered. The manager who had been reading the report, stopped immediately and looked at the man seated at the centre of the table.

” Do you have anything actual to report to me? or do you plan to continue on babbling this entire time? ” a cold voice asked, sending the chills down the manager’s back

Recently, the company had been facing problem with regards to one of it’s biggest projects.

The project was situated at one of the posh suburbs area of New York City. Being a budding area in the city, which would have great value in the given future, the company had purchased almost 30 hectares of land after spending billions.

Having consulted the civil department himself, Arnav had decided to construct a city on the land itself. It would include everything, from residential homes, offices, malls, parks, swimming pools to schools for the children of the family staying there. The name of the project was yet undecided as it was declared that the winning company would get that right too. Arnav had declared the civil department to prepare the tender carefully, as investment was too high and there was no room for any mistake.

That was almost a month ago. Since then five to six times, a rough draft of tender had been submitted for final approval, but there was mistake and loopholes every time.
