Betrayal and Lies

"You do not have a choice." Layla frowned when Oli loomed over her and laughed.

"I think you forgot what Cedric did to me?" Layla's eyes trembled. This was more of a reason that she should not go against that man. He was dangerous.

"If he had kidnapped Amber, I am sure he would have given you a task to complete. But trust me…" Oli looked into Layla's eyes with a cold grim voice escaping her lips, "even if you find your daughter alive after completing his orders, you can not be assured about her innocence anymore.

Are you ready to take the risk and trust Cedric till the end? Or would you give me a chance to save your daughter? I did not ask Layla. I didn't even ask what he commanded you to do." 

Oli could see how the woman trembled with guilt and grief. 

Layla closed her eyes, more tears escaping her lips. Her eyes were swollen and her body was cold.
