"Hey guys. This is my first time writing a novel. I am a story writer but not a novelist so I'm not much familiar with this. I tried my best to convey the story with First person point of view and I hope you would like it. Support me with your comments and add this to your library."

It was a pleasant morning, the calendar was pointed at 13th of February, 2019, and I was out to bring some grocery. The grocery shop is at the end of the main road that is three houses away from my small sweet home, but to reach there one must pass by the haunted G.K Palace. Saniya, the great grand daughter of late King Vinaya, and the only heir of G.K Incorporation, lives alone and a member of the majesty's eternal serving family gives her all daily needs at the entrance gate. She was said to be just 11-years old and comes out of that palace only once to pick up the grocery.
I was looking at the palace wondering not about the ghost people speak of, but about the $100 billion fortune of that family with just a single member living! I just wanted to know how they live. A few silly questions always used to dance in my mind, like whether the rich use high quality water in their bathrooms, whether they eat normal vegetable curries like us....and many more!
Suddenly I started to experience a different vibes of being called to enter that house. It came out of blue, I started to hear whispers and everything around me started to black out, when suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder...
I turned back to look at the owner of that hand with my shivering awestruck head. It was a middle aged man, who started saying "hey kid, teenagers like you should stare at girls, not at this boring palace. Think of your future not about this palace, and you know what tomorrow is right? Why are you wasting your time here? Leave now."
Aah yes! Tomorrow is an important day after all! I started to hurry back home and made necessary preparations for the main event tonight.
Tomorrow is Valentine's day...the day when lovers exchange gifts and many more to celebrate their love. I am a gloomy, skinny odd looking guy, but unfortunately even I do have a girl by my side. Her name is Sanjana, and she's from a similar background as I am, but always seek for luxuries. I decided to gift her a diamond ring, no matter what happens.
I came back home. My house had a shoe case made of African Black wood, filled with many shoes at the entrance. The house consists of a office room next to the main door, followed by bedroom, adjacent to hall attached with a kitchen. It is a cosy one. I had a gramophone, ULED T.V; sofa made by Bentley, and many other Kitchen utensils made out of gold.
Time- 9:00 P.M
I am very excited and am eagerly waiting for tomorrow. And furthermore the most awaited 'My ghost girlfriend' movie is coming on T.V tonight at 10. I was unable to watch the movie in theatres as I didn't had enough money. Movie will start in 1 hour and I'm bored so I switched on the T.V and watched news.
None of them felt interesting as they were mainly focussing on the divorce of celebrity couple who was known to be the best pair in Industry. I am a big fan of the actress, so absolutely I felt happy to hear that. While I was making popcorn, a news popped up saying that the famous detective Dev has taken up the case involving the death of Defence Minister's Personal secretary. That shook the country as it occurred at his own house and moreover without a single drop of blood around the corpse.
Time: 9:50 P.M
Popcorn- Ready; Cigarette box- Ready; Soft Drink- Ready; Maggie- Ready. Less than 10 minutes for my favourite movie, and end for this boring news. But I never expected that the news shown in these 10 minutes changed my life. The news reporter started saying
"We received a breaking news just a few minutes ago. Anvesh, one of the youngest millionaire was found dead in his home, with his limbs detached from his body. It seems like the murder took place more than 2 days ago. There were no valuables left at home, so police suspect it is the doing of some thieves. But the way they killed and separated the body part led to only one conclusion.
The suspect is the Professional Psycho"
The professional psycho is a serial killer and robber who is known for his cruel ways of killing people, in absolute silence and darkness. He only targets young people living alone. By the way, I just realised that I live alone, and I started to shiver because I have enough goods to get targeted.
