Davina’s Pov:-
Tears were streaming down my eyes as I stared at his face, “I promise,” he said while clenching his jaw in pure rage. I watched him walk out of the room while slamming the door shut. I flinched at the sound, the way he said those things ran inside my head.
The anger in his eyes and the way he pushed me when I told him that she screamed his name, all this has proved to me that he still loves her. He didn’t even listen to me and concluded that Allen did something to her, but I know Allen, he would never do something that horrible.
I’m sure he’s in danger and if Arthur decides to kill him for something he didn’t do then I won’t sit here doing anything. I will find out the truth and the real culprit will get punishment for what they did to Olivia.
I wiped my tears and stood up from the ground with determination in my eyes. I had enough, I will not let him do this to me anymore. I made my decision, I will have to find the one behind all this before the contract ends. As soon as the contract ends, I will leave Arthur and never return to his life. If possible I’ll leave new york city as well. I will take April with me and I will take care of her.
I don’t know who her parents are but I will not let her feel alone, as Arthur said the file had a fake report and he wasn’t her father. Somehow after listening to his words I felt relief. I still remember the day when I saw his name in the report, I was so worried that I ended up crying for her.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, I tried to recall that night when I found Olivia. I should have looked around and tried to find who she was running away from, should I go check the place? I thought.
No… Arthur has said, he made his team search the place but found nothing there… it would be dangerous to go there alone. My subconscious replied.
If I want to find the truth then I have to take some risks.
I walked out of the room and walked through the hallway. As I was walking by Arthur’s room, I noticed the door of the room was opened. I glanced at Arthur, who was sitting beside unconscious Olivia while holding her hand and staring at her.
Looking at him with her has made me feel sad, I thought he would listen to me but he didn’t. His actions always hurt but like an idiot, I forgive him as soon as I see him. No more, I will not forgive him for what he did to me, he literally pushed me as soon as I told him about Allen, I will not let him come any closer to me anymore.
I climbed down the stairs and walked out of the mansion. As I made my way towards the backwoods woods, I saw April playing with her dolls while Coop stood beside her watching her with a smile playing on his lips. Looking at them a warm feeling settled in my heart, their friendship has been growing lately. I find Coop sometimes teaching April things and it’s so good to watch her learning.
It was afternoon and the daylight made me feel a bit confident, I walked in the direction in which Olivia ran that night. I kept looking around for something but I couldn’t find anything there.
Wait, What if I walk in the direction where she was running from? Maybe I could find something there? I thought as I looked back from where I saw her running.
Yeah… I think I should go back and search there.
I began walking back while looking clearly and carefully. I wish I could find something, anything which could be useful for me to find the culprit. The sounds of birds, the wind from the sea and my footsteps were the only sound I could hear. As I walked deeper into the woods the light was becoming dimmer and dimmer, my heart began to beat faster as I looked around while swallowing hard.
Jesus,
My anxiety increased as I kept walking into the thick woods where the light was low and looked scary. It looked exactly similar to the horror movies, I kept taking deep breaths while controlling myself.
Don’t be afraid, You need to do this! I kept saying in my head as I kept walking with my eyes wide open.
As I kept walking, My legs began to ache a bit. I stopped and looked around and automatically my breathing began to go unstable, I was in the middle of the thick where I could see no one other big trees. I swallowed hard as I couldn’t hear any sounds of chirping birds, buzzing insects, and croaking frogs, none. It was complete silence, the sound of wind and leaves moving was the only sound that I could hear.
I kept looking around me as I stopped there, I felt so scared and all alone. My heart began beating faster and faster,
“Calm down, Davina… there’s no one here… don’t be scared,” I said to myself as I kept swallowing hard and looking around.
“I think… I should move now…” I mumbled while taking a deep breath,
While looking around I took a step ahead and the ground beneath me collapsed and I fell into something deep. A scream escaped from my lips when I landed on the floor harshly, “Jesus,” I groaned as I tried to move. As soon as I released what just happened, I opened my eyes and looked around me. I was laying on the wooden floor; I looked up and saw that I was underneath the ground I just walked on.
Panic began to rise inside me as I looked around, behind me was complete darkness. I was standing in some kind of hallway. I turned and gazed in front of me and noticed some kind of door located at the end of the corridor which was closed. I turned back, I don’t know what was laying in that darkness but just looking at it made goosebumps rise on my body.
I gulped hard, “Be strong… You can do this Davina!” I said to myself as I took a step ahead towards it.
My heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage as I walked towards the darkness, my hands were sweaty and my legs were shaking badly but the determination I had inside me was pushing me and gave me a little courage to walk into it and I did.
It was completely dark, no light was from anywhere. I was breathing heavily as I kept walking and walking. I couldn’t see anything and it made my eyes and ears wide open but all I could hear was my own breathing and footsteps. It was never-ending, I don’t know where I was walking and in what direction but I didn’t stop.
I caught a small light coming from afar, a glimpse of happiness hit me and my speed quickened. I reached it and saw that it was an old model lamp which looked extremely old, it was placed on a table,
Why is it placed here? And What is this doing here? I thought as I stared at it.
What if… I thought and quickly took the lamp from the table and turned around,
“Jesus,” I gasped, horrified to see what was all around me.
