She had hoped to avoid Maria, especially after everything that had happened. But she knew that ignoring the message would only make things worse. Taking a deep breath, she replied, “Fine. Where?”Maria’s response was immediate. “Meet me at The Velvet Lounge.”The Velvet Lounge was a place where secrets were exchanged and deals were made in shadows. Emma’s gut twisted at the thought of facing Maria again, but she steeled herself. She couldn’t let fear dictate her actions.Arriving at the lounge, the dim lighting made the atmosphere thick with tension. Emma spotted Maria sitting at a corner table, a smug smile on her face.
