After having dinner and putting April to sleep, I took my phone which was laying on the nightstand and pulled the paper out from my pocket. I quickly opened google translate and typed the word.
As I typed it, I saw below that appeared,
“translate from French.”
French?
I clicked on it and the word translates from French to English, it said, “Golden Child,”
Golden child? Who did he refer to? Who is the golden child?
Questions raised in my head, I quickly folded the paper and pushed it into my pocket while getting down from the bed. I placed the phone on the nightstand and made my way towards Arthur’s room.
I will have to tell him what I found, I thought while walking to his room.
I knocked on his door and waited for him to reply, “Come in,” He replied, I pushed the door open and stepped inside. I turned around and saw him and Olivia sitting opposite each other in the sitting area.
My throat dried at the sight,
What is she doing in his room? A question popped in my head,
Why do I care? I thought,
“I’m sorry… I’ll come another time,” I said turning back,
“No, No, Wait,” Arthur said walking to me,
I stopped, “What is it?” He asked standing in front of me while staring at me, he was standing close to me and it somehow felt good.
“I…” I glanced at Oliva who had a curious expression on her face, “need to talk about something,” I whispered staring up at him.
I don’t know why I was whispering; it was about her captor yet I just want to share it only with him. He glanced back at her and she quickly understood the hint, “I’ll leave,” She said while standing up from the couch.
“Good night, both of you,” He said while mailing to both of us.
He closed the door and turned to me, I walked towards the sitting area and sat on the couch. I glanced at him and saw him sitting opposite me.
Even though they were sitting opposite each other, Were they talking about something? What was it about?
I was curious to know but I controlled it and tried to not show it, “I… Want to tell you something,” I began, but he cut me off.
“We were talking about her visions…” he said all of a sudden, I stared at her with interest shining in my eyes.
“Visions?” I asked confused,
“Yes… She was telling me how she gets those in her dreams… she said when she was unconscious after receiving severe beatings from the captor… she sometimes heard him talking on the phone and before she could try to hear him clearly she would pass out… but she said she did feel his voice was a bit familiar…” He said, “She’s confused,” He added.
“… about that… I’ve found an Sd card in that torture room and I heard someone’s voice in it… maybe we should let her hear it… perhaps she could recognise the voice,” I said,
“SD card?” He asked in confusion, “Where-why didn’t tell me?” he asked in an angry tone,
“I am telling you now!… I found it when we visited there earlier” I replied while calming myself as I remembered how he was holding Olivia and how he didn’t even bother to look at me when we were there.
“How can you be so irresponsible Davina… why didn’t you inform me about it immediately when you found it?” He yelled in pure anger,
“Why are You! getting angry… I should be getting angry at you not you at me,” I said out of anger,
“How the hell will I tell you when you were busy holding Olivia and helping her climb…” I yelled in anger, “You didn’t even glance at me to tell you about it…” I added.
Hearing my words, he shut his mouth and stared at me with his eyes wide and I was breathing heavily. I glared at him as he looked away from me, I leaned back while taking deep breaths and controlling myself and my anger.
“I have it in my closet… If you want I can show you,” I said while standing up, He looked at me and slowly stood up from the couch. As I took a step forward he grabbed my wrist and stopped me, I heard him sigh deeply.
“I’m sorry,” he said in a sad tone,
His apology wasn’t calming my nerves, even though he took my side when I had an argument with his mother. I was hurt, I don’t why but when I saw him with her there was some kind of pain in my chest. It was as if seeing my husband with someone else, I know I should feel that way and I have no right to get hurt.
I didn’t look at him and pulled my hand out of his hold, I walked straight to the door and opened it. I made my way to my room, and he followed me closely. I slowly opened the door and stepped inside, as he stepped inside my room I closed the door behind.
“Follow me,” I said while walking to my walk closet, I went straight to the drawer where I put it and opened it.
My heartbeat raised as I didn’t find it there, “What the hell,” I cussed while searching for it.
“What happened?” he asked, in confusion.
“I kept it here… Now I can’t find it,” I said while pushing the things in the drawer aside and searching for it.
“Where did it go?” I whined while pushing my hair back,
“Are you sure you hid it there?” he asked,
“yes… 100%” I replied while turning to him,
“Someone must have stolen it then,” He said,
I stared at him in utter surprise, “It’s proof… they must have stolen it so that they could not get caught,” He explained,
“This is why I was asking why you didn’t tell me at the moment you saw… it is dangerous to keep it with you..” He said while staring at me, I saw the worry in his eyes for me.
“By keeping it with you… you put yours and also April’s life in danger,” he spoke,
“I’m sorry…” I apologised quickly,
He was right I shouldn’t have kept it with me, unknowingly I put our lives in danger but one question was popping inside my head non-stop.
“Who took it,” I said while looking up at him.
