Chapter 49: Shocking Truth

Olivia's Pov

I didn't know how Lisa knew about my intentions in the house. “Hey, how did you find out?”

“Oh, you think you're the only one with a secret? We can do this together, since both of us are keeping it a secret, but if you refuse, I will tell Davis and then you'll be kicked out of this house, while I whom he loves will remain no matter what I do, I can always deny it.” Lisa said.

“So I know I kept it a secret from Davis but I will tell him soon, I have my reasons.” I said.

Lisa smiled, coming closer to me. “Won't you like to hear a little secret of mine?”

“You don't need to share what I know already.” I said.

“I don't think you do, Davis isn't who you think he is, he has a past connected to me. I was his first love but he left me for Elizabeth and now that she's dead I'm here with him. Do you think it's for love?” Lisa spat.

“Then why are you here?” I asked, my expression turned icy.

“Oh, she wants to know why I'm here. Well I'm here to take what is mine, I will get pregnant for him, in that way It will be easy for me.” Lisa said, if only she knew I was recording.

“You see, I will do all I can to take over his company and everything in this house.” She said,

I laughed out loud. “I never knew you were this desperate and foolish to take what is not yours.”

“I have what he values so much and I will use that to get what I want.” Lisa said.

I knew she was talking about Emily. “So you really did this?”

“If he loves you he would have gotten married to you, why do you think he's not in support of your decision?” I said.

“Oh please, just shut-up, I'm not here to get married to him because I love him, the only reason I'm here is to take what he has.” Lisa spat.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps echoed through the walls. It was Rebbeca, “Hey girl, have been listening to your conversation, I'm sorry I did this before. Davis knows you're from the FBI.”

The expression on my face changed. “What? You told him? And how did you know?”

“I had dug into you then, I was getting jealous that Davis hung out with you and all, so I told him.” Rebbeca said.

Lisa laughed. “I think it's time you are sent out of this house.”

“On whose order?” Rebbeca asked.

“But Rebecca you've put all my plans at risk, I was appointed to do this job, I wasn't willing to do it.” I said.

“Looks like someone's secret will still be out fully, nobody needs that explanation, you can keep it to yourself.” Lisa said,

“I didn't mean to cause any trouble, I was just jealous.” Rebbeca said.

“I can't say anything to Davis now, he's in search of his daughter which this woman knows something about.” I said.

I angrily left for my room. I can't believe Davis knew why I was in his house all this while yet he acted cool and nice towards me.

“I’m doomed. I still don't get why he wasn't angry then.” I muttered.

I was lost in thought, I didn't know when Maria walked in. “Hey, no news about her yet?”

I sighed. “Nothing, someone in this house is responsible for her disappearance.”

Maria looked at me with curiosity. “Who could that be?”

“Lisa of course.” I said.

“And why haven't you told him, why is everyone pretending they don't know she's the one responsible, let's go and tell Davis about it right away.” Maria said,

“Maria please you don't have to let Davis know what is going on in this house now, it's dangerous, Lisa can take your life if she sees you making any move. She tried to kill me, but was shot by my brother, her broken hands are not a result of any kidnapping.” I said.

“Are you serious? What has Davis gotten himself into.” Maria said, with shock.

“I have to go see Marcus.” I muttered. “We were both assigned to do this Job together.”

I felt like I was losing it all. Maria left the room, closing the door behind her.

I dialed Marcus' number. “Hey, Davis knows why I'm in his house, he knew but he pretended all this while, what should I do?”

Marcus sighed. “I think you should just leave, I don't want you to be there anymore, since he knows your intentions, you need to leave there, your brother had told me that his girlfriend tried killing you.”

“He can't just keep something to himself.” I muttered.

“I think you should leave today,if possible now, I don't want anything to happen to you.” Marcus said,

“Not until I see Emily, not until I say goodbye to him, I don't know if he'll ever fall in love with me the way I do, he knows everything already, I betrayed his trust.”

“You're still in love with this guy?” He asked.

“Yes and that's why I don't want to leave, I don't want Lisa to destroy him, pretending she loves him.” I said.

Rebbeca barged into my room, “I'm going to tell Davis everything, we need to end this now.”

“You know Lisa, she can do anything, I don't want to see any of you hurt.” I said.

But Rebbeca ignored what I was saying as she left the room. I followed suit, my heart pounding in my chest. Davis was sitting in the garden, he was looking at Emily's painting. He must have missed her. He looked up from the drawing as we approached him. I could see Lisa watching from the window in the house.

“You know, don't you?” I asked.

“What are you talking about Olivia?” He asked.

Rebbeca was about to say something but I stopped her. Dragging her along with me. “We should wait for some hours before telling him.”

We noticed Lisa had left the house not long after we came into the house. I had gone to Davis' room, I just wanted to find something more to use to get Lisa. As I was searching some files, I sighted a picture under the bed. I took the picture, That was the Elizabeth Davis had always told us about. “This is my sister Lucy,” I said in shock. “Nah, this can't be, Lucy was married? And she was married to Davis.” I couldn't believe my eyes.

I thought it was time to tell Davis the truth. “Lucy is dead? I thought I would see her one day.” I cried.

I heard footsteps so I rushed out of the room with the picture in my hand. It was unbelievable but there it was. “Why didn't she tell us she was married? Why had she abandoned my brother and I all these years.” I muttered.

“Nah, I can't continue like this, I need to leave this house, I need to tell him the truth about me.” I said.

I held the picture in my hand, I was ready to reveal all I know to Davis. I wasn't planning to work in this house anyways, I have my Job. But I was in love with him and I feel leaving this house will be the end of it all.
