Chapter 46: Plan gone wrong

Rebbeca's Pov

I paced back and forth in my room. This was the night Lisa planned on killing Olivia and now the both of them are not home. I was becoming scared that Olivia would fall for Lisa's plan.

“Hey.” Davis called from outside my door. “Have you seen Lisa?”

“No, I..” I wanted to say Olivia is also missing but I paused.

“What is it?” He asked.

“Nah, nevermind it's nothing.” I said.

“Then why are you breathing heavily? Are you sure you're fine?” He asked.

“Yes sir, I'm okay.” I managed to say.

I continued pacing back and forth in my room. I was getting sick and worried about Olivia's whereabouts.
I tried calling her number but it wasn't reachable.

Just then, I could hear the sound of the door opening in the living room. I had thought it was Olivia so I rushed down the stairs. Davis was also sitting down stairs. “Where are you coming from?” He asked Lisa.


“And why are you injured?” I asked her.

But she was quiet. “Say something, who did this to you?” Davis asked, in a hush tone.

“I was robbed.” She finally said, but deep down I knew she was lying.

I wanted to ask her where Olivia was but I didn't want Davis to know about it just yet.

“Are you sure you were robbed?” I asked.

“Come on, you shouldn't be asking her that now.” Davis said.

Lisa looked at me, a hint of fear and warning in her eyes, warning me to stop questioning her. Davis helped Lisa to sit on the couch. “I'll call the police now.”

“There's no need for that.” Lisa said.

My mind raced with thoughts as I wondered where Olivia would be.

And I don't know why Lisa is being so secretive. “can't Davis sense that something is off about her?” I muttered.

I decided I won't say anything I know, I had to play along. “Hope you are fine?” I said to her,

I know Lisa knows something about Olivia's whereabouts. I fixed my gaze on Lisa but she kept avoiding my gaze.

After a while, I left for my room. My mind raced with possibilities as I paced back and forth in my room. I stood in front of the window for a while. I really wanted to confront Lisa but I couldn't do that when Davis was there. I don't know what Lisa would do if she knew I recorded her conversation, so I had to act cool.

I knew I had to act calm, I thought of going back downstairs but I sat on my bed instead.

I decided to sleep and get all those thoughts off my head, but there was a noise at my room entrance. I thought it might be Olivia but the sound stopped.

There was a knock on the door, I hesitated before opening the door, Lisa walked in. “Aren't you supposed to be in your room?” I asked.

“We need to talk.” Lisa said.

“What about?” I asked.

“Nothing serious, Just wanted to ask if you know where Olivia had gone to.” She said,

“I have no idea.” I replied.

Lisa signed. “This really hurts.” She said, touching her hand where she was shut.

“Sorry about that.” I said. Still trying to play cool by pretending I know about her conversation.

“Hey sweetie, have been looking for you round the house.” Davis said, walking into my room.

“Just wanted to know about Olivia's whereabouts.” Lisa said.

“Isn't she in her room?” Davis asked, he had thought she was around all this while.

“I just found out she isn't there now.” Lisa said.

Davis held her hand. “You should take a proper rest Lisa, forget about this for now.”

Lisa was trying to be worried and concerned about Olivia's whereabouts. “I'll go check if she's outside the house, maybe she has gone out for a walk.” I said.

“Nah, you should just stay in your room and rest, Olivia will find her way back.” Davis said,

Lisa looked at me, suspecting I knew something, she tried to read my intentions though I kept my expression in a normal way.

Lisa and Davis turned to leave and something fell from Lisa's cloth, she didn't notice it had fallen down.

As soon as they left, I closed the door, I discovered it was a small recording device.

I brought out my laptop, fixed the flash, I got up, making sure the door was properly locked. I inserted the flash properly and the recording began to play. I could hear Lisa's voice.

“I think she's hiding something, I don't trust her.” Lisa said, in the recordings.

I kept listening to the web of secrets in the flash, my eyes widened with shock as I began to realize a lot of secrets.

Just then, Lisa knocked on the door again. I quickly hid the flash, she came in searching for something without saying a word. I knew she was looking for the flash.

“Did I leave anything here? And what are you still doing awake?” She asked.

I sighed. “Well, I couldn't sleep, just worried where Olivia might be now.”

“Are you sure I left nothing here?” She asked.

“No, you didn't, are you sure you did?” I tried not to act suspicious.

“I'm very sure I brought it in here.” She said,

“What is that? So if I find it I will bring it to you tomorrow.” I said. “Or are you sure you didn't leave it in the living room.” I said.

“That's true, I'll check there.” She turned to leave, but before she closed the door, she gave me a look as I'd she was suspicious of me. And I knew she was.

I died as soon as she left the door. “Why does she need this flash so desperately?” I muttered to myself.

I laid on my bed, I didn't know when I dozed off.

Devis Pov

I knew Lisa had left the room, she thought I was asleep. She came in quietly, closing the door behind her. I pretended to be asleep. “Shit, where did I keep that flash drive?” She muttered to herself, she had thought I was sleeping.

She searched the room, trying to do it quietly so she wouldn't wake me up. She checked every corner of the room, under the bed and nightstand. She was seriously looking for the flash drive. “I can remember now, I had dropped it in Rebbeca's room, why did she say she didn't see anything?” she muttered to herself, in a low tone.

She continued searching while I pretended to be asleep. My mind was racing with thoughts, wondering what was in that flash that she's seriously looking for. She was about to give up in a search but she came across something on the table. I don't know what it was but she smiled after seeing that.

She then noticed I was watching her, “Hey, looking for something?” I asked.

“Not anymore.” Lisa said.

I smiled, I was beginning to suspect her, she had hurt her hands but she didn't look hurt. “Is there anything I need to know?”

She didn't give any response.
