What If I Refuse?

Hearing her mother's words, Vanessa smiled. She joined her mother at the table and sat opposite her. 

"Mom, don't worry. We have a few bodyguards outside. They will ensure Abigail can't bring anyone in here." 

"Vanes, what about your friend Milan? Are you planning to hurt her, too?" Betty asked, curious about her daughter's idea to kidnap her friend and hide her in an abandoned warehouse not far from their location. 

They had decided not to bring Milan here to ensure no one would become suspicious of them. Also, that would make Abigail unable to do anything but follow their request. 

"Well, my people already beat Milan to get information about Abigail, but Milan is stubborn. She'd rather take a beating than betray Abigail. It's so frustrating that she won't spill anything about her..." Vanessa said, annoyed. "Milan is hiding something from me; she is working with Abigail now!"
