Davina’s Pov:-
“What?” He exclaimed in shock as I told him that I saw a dead body in the woods. I tried to control my anxiety and tell him clearly what I saw back there. I swallowed hard before looking at him, I tried my best to control myself and began telling him everything.
What I saw there, the dead body, the wall which had chains and blood, that man who followed me. He kept listening to me without uttering a word till I ended up crying, he pulled me to and wrapped his arms around me.
“I’ve never seen something so horrible… ever,” I cried,
“I’m scared,” I sobbed while pressing my cheek against his chest, he kept stroking my hair while I cried hard. The way those eyes stared at me making the warning clear flashed in front of my eyes, the fear of being caught by that man was scaring me even more.
“Don’t be scared, I won’t let him come near you… I promise,” He assured me while hugging me tightly against his chest, I kept crying while wrapping my hands around his neck and letting my fear out.
“How can someone do that,” I wept while remembering that dead body and the blood, that room.
“We should leave this island,” I said while moving my head away from his chest and staring at him,
“It’s not safe here” I cried,
“Davina… Clam down,” he said while holding my shoulders,
“No… you haven’t seen what I saw Arthur,” I yelled while crying hard.
“It’s scary and no man in his normal mind would do something like that,” I cried,
“Davina…” He tried to control me but I kept sobbing.
“Okay, Look at me… we will go there and you will show me what you saw?” He said taking my face into his palms,
“Okay?” he asked,
“After that, we’ll inform the policemen and leave this place Asap,” he added. I found myself nodding my head at him while wiping my tears with the back of my hand. He helped me get up from the bed and we made our way towards the woods.
Arthur asked half of the bodyguards to guide the mansion and the remaining half were following us in the forest. He kept holding my hand in a firm grip while I led him into the woods, in the direction of that underground place.
My heart kept pounding in my chest as I took every step into the woods, it was completely dark now. Every single one had a torchlight with them, still, I was scared and different scenarios began to flash in my mind where that person was attacking us and trying to hurt us.
Arthur wrapped his arm around my shoulder, securing me, his bodyguards were around us, protecting us from every side with loaded guns in their hands along with the torch lights. I kept assuring myself that nothing will happen and we’ll find the person but there was fear inside my chest which was making it impossible for me to control.
I kept walking and reached the place where I fell down, The hole was still the same, it was untouched,
“Here… this is where I fell down,” I said while pointing at it,
“Mike,” he called,
“Yes, boss,” One of the bodyguards stepped forward.
Arthur gestured to check inside and he nodded his head at Arthur before stepping forward, along with two more bodyguards climbing down. I kept taking deep breaths while holding onto Arthur’s arm, Suddenly Mike’s head popped out which made me gasp and jump out of fear.
“It’s okay,” Arthur said while glancing down at me,
“Boss, it’s clear,” He said,
Arthur nodded his head at me and stepped forward, he climbed down and helped me step down. I looked around while stepping closer to Arthur, he took hold of my hand and stared down at me.
Two more bodyguards stepped down with us and the remaining were standing up guarding the area. I led them inside the room. As I stepped inside the room, my heart began beating rapidly against my ribcage and whatever I saw ran to my mind.
“There!” I said pointing my finger at the corner where the chains were attached to the wall.
The room was exactly the same, I actually thought that like they show in movies maybe the person would have removed everything from here to make sure no one finds it but the things I saw here were still present.
“Jesus,” I heard Arthur mutter under his breath as he stared at the blood and the dead body, His eyes roamed around the room taking everything in and shock was evident on his face.
“You’re right,” He replied while looking around the room,
“It’s not safe here,” He spoke while turning to me,
“Mike,” He called,
“Inform this to the cops immediately,” He ordered,
“Come… We should leave this place as soon as possible,” He said while dragging me out of the room. As we climbed out of it, a thought hit my mind.
Why did he leave everything here untouched? He followed me but didn’t attack me nor did he try to hide from me! Why?
Unless he wanted me to come here! Oh my god… Unless he wanted us to be out of the mansion! I widened my eyes when the realisation hit me.
Fuck!
I turned to Arthur, “We should go back,” I said while pulling my hand out of his grip and rushed in the direction of the mansion.
“Davina,” He called while following me behind,
“Stop,” He said while grabbing my hand,
“You don’t understand… this is what he wants… to us be out of the mansion…” I said turning to him,
“If it’s him who held Olivia captive… he will surely attack her we’re not around,” I added,
“We need to get back,” I said while turning back and rushing back to the mansion, he held my hand and walked with me while taking his phone out and dialling. He kept dialling cursing under his breath while we continued walking in the direction of the mansion.
“No one’s answering the call,” he groaned,
“Jesus,” I said with fear and worry raising inside my chest,
Please, nothing must happen to them, please god! I kept praying while partially running towards the mansion. I can’t forgive myself if anything happens to April or Olivia.
I shouldn’t have come here in the first place. Why am I so stubborn? I should’ve just stayed in my room and listened to Arthur.
God, What if he kidnaps Olivia again? Oh my god, What if he kills her?
No, No he will not do that, No…
As we reached the mansion, I noticed that no bodyguard was visible. Not even a single bodyguard was outside, so I stopped in my tracks and looked around. There was no one,
“Jesus,” I muttered while my heart pounded against my chest with fear and dangerously increasing anxiety.
Nothing will happen to them… I thought while I rushed towards the main door.
“Davina… ” I heard Arthur’s panicked voice behind me as I ran inside the living room. Tears were rolling in my eyes as the disturbing thoughts of April or Olivia getting hurt by the person rushed to my mind I couldn’t stop myself.
“Stop Davina…” I heard Arthur’s footsteps and the desperation in his voice from behind me, Even if this person whoever he is kills me, I will not allow him to hurt either of them, I will have to save them no matter what.
I climbed the stairs, “Davina… Please stop,” He yelled while climbing behind me, I ran in the direction of Olivia’s room while completely ignoring his calls.
“Don’t…” He screamed as I grabbed the knob of her room and pushed the door open and stepped inside the room.
