Davina’s Pov:-
I placed my hands over my mouth as I stared at her body, her body was lying under the blanket as if she was sleeping but the blanket was covered in blood. My legs began to shake while I was breathing heavily in shock.
“Davina?” Arthur’s voice came from behind me, I turned back and glanced at him with tears filled eyes. He stared at me in confusion while walking towards me, ‘Wha-” he stopped as his eyes landed on Olivia.
“Jesus,” He gasped looking at her in shock,
He immediately pulled his phone out called Miss. Kavanna, “Oh god,” He stared at her while moving towards her body and with shaky hands, he pulled the blanket off her body. I gasped and quickly looked away from her body; blood was coming out of her chest, stomach. She was shot thrice.
***
The doctor informed us that Olivia’s no more, she’s shot dead. She also informed us that Olivia might have died just a few minutes before I found her. Her aunt and uncle were crying their eyes out, I stood at the corner while holding April in my arms and watching them.
Looking at her dead body some kind of fear settled inside my chest, Who killed her? Last night, the sd card was stolen from my drawer and today someone killed her? What’s happening here? I glanced at Arthur and saw him talking to the cops with an extremely serious look on his face.
Arthur’s parents were consoling Samuel and Emily, who was crying hard while staring at her dead body. I stared at Emily as she kept crying and crying for Olivia, she looked devastated to see Olivia in this state.
May your soul rest in peace, Olivia, I prayed.

After the funeral, Cops began to investigate this case seriously. They questioned every single person living in the mansion. I was sitting in front of the cop and who was questioning me about Olivia. How I know her, our past encounters, and all. I told him everything, about the affair, her marriage with Allen.
After answering all their questions, I walked back to the living room where everyone was sitting. Hearing my footsteps, Nadia turned her head to me. I noticed the hatred and suspicious look on her face. I ignored her completely and walked towards Arthur and April. I sat beside April and smiled at her.
“Why are they still questioning when the culprit is in front of their eyes,” Nadia said while glancing at me
I stared in confusion, She raised her perfect eyebrow at me, “I’m sure she did it!” she accused me while pointing her finger at me.
“Huh!” I gawked at her in disbelief,
“Oh stop acting now, everyone here knows your history with Olivia!” She said while glaring at me,
“Mrs. Spencer?” I exclaimed in disbelief,
“What are you saying?” Arthur said in an angry tone,
“Truth?” She answered with a confident look and tone,
“She’s the one who was in her room and who first saw her dead body!” She said pointing her finger at me,
Everyone glanced at me and I noticed suspicion in their eyes, I didn’t know what to say as tears filled my eyes as she accused me of killing her.
“When did you become a cop?” Arthur asked while folding his arms over his chest and staring at her, “Stop your wild assumptions and let cops do their work,” He yelled in anger.
“By the way, Let me remind you… Davina was the one who saved Oliva from getting killed in the woods… if it wasn’t her Olivia would have died long back,” He said, staring at her. She gulped hard while glaring at me and sitting down.
“Whoever did this murder! I will make sure they suffer!” He gritted his teeth in pure rage,
“Why Oliva? Why?” Emily cried, Samuel, wrapped his arm around her shoulder and tried to console her.
“Why our surdoue?” He said while crying along with Emily, Hearing the word from him, my eyes widened but I quickly controlled myself and stared at them.
Surdoue?
Did he kill her? From the record, it was the exact word I heard but why would her uncle kill her? Is this a coincidence? Looking at them, I just can’t understand.
I glanced at Arthur and saw him looking at them pitifully, I lanced back at them and saw them crying. Nadia tried to console them while glancing at me with hatred in her eyes.

I was sitting on my bed with tons of questions in my head, I’m sure he used the word and I wasn’t mistaken. I was restless while thinking about the death and the killer, and all of a sudden something flashed in front of my eyes.
I closed my eyes and tried to remember everything that happened, before walking out of Arthur’s room from the corner of my eye I noticed someone passing from behind me but I couldn’t see who he was.
I opened my eyes, I sighed in defeat, I’m sure the killer is in the house and watching us. No one is safe in this house if the killer is in here. I’m 100% sure that the person who walked from behind me that day is the one who killed Oliva. The room Olivia is in was in between my room and Arthur’s.
Fuck, Coop walked past that person that day, he was coming to me to take the trolley. He must have seen the person’s face. Shit, I should ask him, I thought and climbed down the bed. I have to find who that person was or else this guilt will eat me alive. After I heard that she died just ten minutes before I walked inside her room was making me feel guilty for not being there faster. If I went to her without wasting my time with Arthur, I would have saved her.
I walked out of the room and made my way towards the living room, no one was present in the hall. It was empty. I made my way outside and looked around in the garden, Coop was nowhere to be found.
“Jesus, Coop where are you?” I muttered while looking around for him. As I was about to walk back into the mansion I saw him walking from the playground with April in his arms.
“Coop!” I called while walking towards him, Hearing my voice, he stopped and looked at me.
“Yes, Miss. Ellis?” he asked as I stopped in front of him.
“Do you remember when you came to take the trolly from me?” I asked,
Hearing my words, There was confusion on his face and I tried to slow down and ask him clearly.
“When we found Oliva dead… just a few minutes before that… You came to me! to take the trolley from me… I was standing in front of Arthur room?” I said trying to make him understand, “Do you remember?” I asked.
“Yes, Miss. Ellis!” He answered,
“As you climbed the stairs and was walking towards me, a person… A man just walked past you… Do you remember who it was?” I asked desperately. He thought for a second, maybe was trying to remember who he was.
“I remember that a man just walked past by me, Miss Ellis,” He said, “he… was… ” he dragged while staring into space, “Yeah, I remember it was Mr. Samuel, Oliva’s uncle,” he said.
Oh god!
It was him?
“Thank you,” I said while turning back,
I have to tell this Arthur, Immediately. I thought and rushed towards his study room. I knocked on the door of his study room but there’s was no response,
“Open the door, Arthur, this is important,” I muttered under my breath and knocked again. I was growing impatient and desperate. If Samuel is the killer and if he was the one who stole that Sd card as well, I’m in big trouble. Jesus, I have to tell this to Arthur.
I knocked again but as he didn’t respond, I slowly pushed the door open. I stepped inside and looked around but Arthur wasn’t there, “Arthur?” I called while walking towards his desk and looking around.
As I walked closer I could hear a song playing in low volume near his desk, I stopped in my track and glanced at the desk. His phone was on the desk, I moved closer and I quickly recognised the song which was playing on the phone. It was the same song that I heard in that recording.
My eyes went wide and my breathing stopped for a second, “Arthur?” I whispered in shock, All of a sudden the sound of the door being open made me jump in fear. I placed my hand on my chest while breathing hard and turned back,
“Davina?” Arthur walked in while staring at me in surprise.
“What are you doing here?” He asked while glancing at his phone. I stared at him while gulping hard in fear.
If this song is playing on his phone! Was he? Jesus!
