Loved The Most
Ashley's POV:
Although my special power had taken effect, Layla seemed to be completely immune to my control, which was a bit disheartening.
I had thought that I'd get whatever I wanted with Layla under my control, but now that seemed like a long shot.
The stories were true—the black witches truly were powerful.
"Is the one I see really supposed to be the one I love the most?" Layla asked expressionlessly.
Not understanding why she would ask such a question, I hesitated for a moment.
"What do you mean?" Layla's eyes flashed dangerously.
"Yes, yes, you're supposed to see the one you love the most!" I answered hurriedly, fearing for my face.
"Is that so?" Layla asked again, narrowing her eyes at me.
I nodded adamantly and squeaked, "Yes! Of course! That's my special power!"
'Except that I can't control you!' I couldn't help but sigh internally. Layla was going to be extremely difficult to deal with.
Seeing that I was being honest, Layla stopped asking questions and fell silent.
For a long time, she sat quietly in her chair, lost in her thoughts.
Unable to stop myself, I cautiously asked, "Who did you see?"
Layla came to her senses and turned to look at me gloomily. Then, she suddenly smiled, but it wasn't a friendly smile. "I'll tell you, but you have to keep it a secret."
"I promise I won't tell anyone," I swore, placing my palm on my chest solemnly.
Layla stood up. She was as tall as me, but somehow I felt as though I was looking up at her.
"Only the dead can keep a secret." Layla looked at me intently, which was enough to make me feel suffocated.
I shook my head and said quickly, "Never mind.
I don't want to know and I'm not curious anymore. Please don't tell me."
Layla sneered with disdain. Finally, she looked away from me and walked to the door. "Just wait here. When the time comes, I'll let you out."
Without waiting for a response, she left.
