Chapter 34: Unknown path

Davis Pov

Lisa was upset but I still don't know why she's overreacting over this. I was getting upset with her behavior. “Do you really care?”

“Don't say that to me, you don't tell me what is going on, so how do you expect me to know?” Lisa asked.

“That's because you don't ask Lisa, you're never willing to know. Is this how you plan on taking care of Emily? since you want me to sack Olivia.”

“You should just sack her first, then you will see what I can do.” Lisa spat.

“I want to see what you can do now to be sure if sacking Olivia is the right decision to make.” I said

Lisa frowed. “Moreover Emily is not a little girl, she can take care of herself.”

“This is exactly what I'm talking about, how do you expect her to like you huh?”

“She doesn't need to like me, I don't need all of that.” Lisa said.

“Alright, that's fine. But I don't want you to complain to me when she gets closer to Olivia, because Olivia is going nowhere.” I said.

“Do you like this lady? You need to answer me, because I don't get why you keep pushing me aside because of her.” Lisa said, angrily.

“You know so well how much I love you, you should stop al this drama.”

Olivia wasn't ready for any explanation I have to tell her. “Not until you send Olivia away, she pissed me off, I really don't like her.”

I wished Lisa could understand. She should know Olivia is just a caregiver to Emily, I have nothing more to do with her, stop being dramatic.

“You expect me to believe that when you refused sacking her? Come on Davis, I know things like this, you're having an affair with her.” Lisa said.

“You're mistaken Lisa, have you checked up on Emily today?” I asked.

“Why do you have Olivia here? Since she's here she should do her Job, I'm nothing compared to her.” Lisa said, getting up from the bed.

I laughed. “Exactly, you're nothing compared to her, that's what I'm saying and that's the reason I need her here. You're just so unreasonable.”

“Don’t you dare say I'm unreasonable, Nah, Davis you're the unreasonable one here, you're putting every other needs before mine and I can't take it anymore.” she said, as she twisted her face in pain.

“The truth is that you're jealous and it won't be of any help. We have a problem at hand and we need to seek that out first.” I said, leaving the room.

After a while I walked back in, Lisa was worried. “Who is this man?” She asked, showing me a paper where Vincent's picture was displayed.

“Oh, this is the man that has been causing problems for this family, his behind my wife's death. He's doing all of this because I left him after I made my money and the only reason I did that was because he didn't fit in. He was so jealous of my success so I didn't want someone like that around me.” I sighed, looking at Lisa's worried face.

“Do you know him?” I questioned.

“Nah, I was just asking you know, I wanted to know what has been going on.

I was relieved that she was now understanding what I've been talking about.

“So he's not in prison again, he escaped?” She asked.

“Yes and we need to find his whereabouts or else he can harm any of us at any time and I didn't want that to happen.” I said.

“Everything will be fine, you need to be strong.” she said, pulling me to a warm embrace. It was surprising that Lisa was acting kind.


“This is what I'm talking about, you should continue like this instead of barking like a dog.” I said,

She threw a pillow at me and I did the same, I was enjoying the time I spent with her. “Why have you been hiding this interesting part of you since you stepped foot into my house?”


“I was probably waiting for the perfect time to show my soft side.” She said, with a calm smile spreading across her face.


I held her hands, giving her a kiss on her neck, just then there was the sound of a broken glass outside the window.

“Did you hear that?” Lisa asked, in a whispering tone.

I got up from the bed to check what that was, I saw that a part of my room window was broken and a piece of paper was placed there. I removed the paper to see what was written. “There's no way you can get rid of me.” It was written boldly on the paper.

“This is Vincent doing, he's giving me a warning and I don't understand why he won't just let me be.” I muttered.

Lisa gave me a hug, I gazed at Vincent's picture which was still on her hands and it made me more angry. “Just put that away.”


I decided to take a short nap, as I was so stressed and I wanted to get some things out of my mind.

Vincent's laugh was loud. He did that reputedly. “I will kill you, I will kill your daughter and everybody you care about.” I tried to speak out but I couldn't, I wasn't unable to say a word or escape.

Just then, everything went blank. He used a knife to cut my hand before disappearing into the darkness.

I woke up from my nap, “It was a dream.” I sighed.

I had thought it was Lisa that I saw as soon as I woke up, but to my surprise it was Olivia. “What are you doing here?”

I was passing by when I heard a noise from the room. I decided to come in because I know you don't normally make any sound or talk while sleeping. When I got into the room, I realized you were dreaming.”

I sighed heavily, this was a bad dream, why did he have to defeat me in my dream?
