Arthur’s pov:-
I stared at him in shock, That person was one of us? Who might it be? I thought while staring at him in surprise.
“Who is it?” I asked,
“I can not tell you that,” he said while turning his head away from me.
“Why?” I yelled,
“If you know who did that why can’t you tell me,” I screamed,
“I can’t…” he shouted,
“If I tell you…. the next second my wife would be dead and there wouldn’t be any proof left to find him,” he revealed,
“What!” I replied in shock,
“What do you mean?” I asked,
“My wife would be dead… if I tell who that person is!” He replied,
I stared at him in confusion, He let out a sigh and lowered his head, “You don’t know anything about this… Arthur… this isn’t a normal matter as you think…this is something dangerous and many lives are involved in this,” he said,
“Do you think it is safe for Davina to keep that Sd card with her and getting involved in this?”
He was the one who stole it?
I stared at him, not knowing what to say.
“Yes, I stole it from her,” He confessed,
“I did it… to save her and that child,” He added,
“She was in grave danger and I couldn’t let myself watch her and that innocent child die… I had to steal it,” he spoke,
“I thought by stealing it… I would be safe and no one has to die but… Oliva recognised me and I had to kill her,” he stated,
The way he was telling me about it was making me fear Davina’s safety.
“You will find Davina dead… soon,” he said looking at me in the eye,
“Don’t you dare drag her into..” he cut me off,
“I’m not dragging her, she dragged herself into this mess long back….” He said, “That night if she didn’t find Olivia, everything would be normal but… saving Olivia is the worst mistake of her life,” He said while staring at my face.
“She not only put herself in danger but also dragged that little girl into this…” he stated, “You need to save yourself and your family because they no longer are safe…” he said staring at his face with a serious expression.
I stared at him in anger and frustration, “Tell me who is behind all this?” I gritted my teeth and tried to control myself.
“Even if you kill me and I will not tell you,” he replied stubbornly,
“Fine then, Let me kill you… since you are of no use,” I said while standing up and walking out of the room in anger. Coop was standing out of the room beside the cops,
“Coop,” I called, he rushed towards me,
“Take everyone home and double the security… and don’t leave Davina and April’s side,” I ordered,
“Okay, Boss,” he replied and rushed out of the office,
“I need a gun,” I said, turning to Mr. Carson who nodded his head and handed me a gun from his pocket. I took it and turned back, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.
I marched towards him and sat on the chair, “I’m giving you one last chance… Tell me who it is?” I asked,
“I’m just a pawn in this game, Arthur, killing me will not do any good to you,” he said,
Hearing his words I grew irritated and pointed the gun at him and shot over his shoulder, “Ah!” He screamed in pain. The bullet hit just at the corner of his shoulder, blood began oozing out of his shoulder and he kept grunting in pain.
“Now, Say something useful to me,” I said while leaning back on the chair,
“Arthur, please,” he begged, “leave me,”
“Tell me who’s behind all this,” I said,
“Who’s that son of a bitch,” I yelled,
“I can’t, Please” he pleaded, “Just let me go,”
“Tell me this, Why did you kidnap Oliva and Allen?” I asked,
“I was told to do so, I couldn’t say no…” He replied,
“You couldn’t say no? or You didn’t wanna miss watching them suffer?” I asked,
He kept crying in pain, “You know it disgusts me to watch you cry… Have you ever thought about how much they suffered… she had three bullets in her chest and here you had only one,”
“Please, Don’t kill me,” He cried,
“Oh… I will torture you first and then… you will have an ultimate kill,” I smirked,
“No…” He groaned,
“You don’t wanna die?” I asked,
“No,” He replied,
I smirked internally looking at his miserable state, “Fine then, tell me who it is!”
He began crying louder, “Please, Arthur, I can’t tell you” He sobbed,
“Fine..” he cut me off,
“That Sd card,” he said, “It is inside it,”
“What?” I asked in confusion,
He swallowed hard and stopped crying, “That Card… there’s a video in that card… which is hidden in a folder…” He began, “The person’s face is in it,” he said,
“Where is it?” I asked,
“It’s in my room,” he replied,
“Also, other than mine and Davina’s… You will find that person’s fingerprints on it,” he added, “In case… if that video is deleted… you can use those fingerprints and find him,” He said.
I quickly stood up from the chair and made it towards the door, “But… I don’t think it’s still in my room… ” He added, I stopped in my tracks and turned to him.
“You need to hurry and find it soon before it disappears,” he said,
I opened the door and rushed out of the office, I made my way towards the parking lot and got inside my car. I drove to the mansion and rushed inside.
I have to quickly find the Sd card and open that video, only then I can find that person and put him behind the bar. I have to keep everyone safe from that person, especially Davina and April. I told her not to get herself involved in this yet she chose to do it against my word. If she listened to me and did as I told her to, she would have been safe now.
Such a stubborn woman.
How should I deal with her if she’s so stubborn?
I walked through the living room and climbed the stairs, I have to keep her safe and far away from this. I can’t risk losing her and April. I can’t forgive myself if something happens to either of them. I quickly made my way to his room.
As I reached his room, I pushed the door open and stepped inside. My eyes moved to the scenario happening in the room and my legs stopped in my tracks.
“Dad?” I yelled in disbelief,
He cornered Davina and was choking her, she was struggling to get out of his hold and my eyes moved to April who was clutching on his pants and crying hard. I couldn’t believe what I just witnessed.
My eyes widened when I saw Coop lying on the floor in a pool of blood, “Arthur,” I heard Davina’s pained voice. I quickly moved towards them but my dad stepped in between,
“One step… and I kill her,” He warned,
“Dad?” I was still in shock,
My dad was the one behind all this?
Did he kill Allen?
What the hell is happening here?
