You don’t believe me?” 

She was taken aback by her mother’s revelation and accusation

Oliver, what’s wrong? Aren’t you supposed to be on your honeymoon!Linda’s father, Stephen, inquired, while Oliver’s voice was firm

That woman I married isn’t Linda, so where is she?he demanded, causing both parents to pale instantly

Though relieved that Oliver had discovered the truth, they had no idea where Linda was being held and had to comply with Lily’s demands

If only she knew where her daughter was, she would have gone to rescue her herself
