CHAPTER 11: The Meeting By The Beach

　　Victoria's POV

　　The call came while I was still debating my next move. Would I sell my information and truly expose Ethan or would I let it be? The fact that he had called to demand I deleted the video had upset me even more; he had such audacity.

　　My phone buzzed on the table, the name flashing across the screen like a challenge. Lily (pink heart emoji).

　　For a moment, I stared at it, my finger hovering over the reject button. The thought of hearing her voice churned my stomach, but curiosity got the better of me. I answered with a clipped, "What do you want?"

　　"I think we need to talk," Lily said, her tone smooth, almost casual, as if she hadn't played a major role in wrecking my life.

　　"I have nothing to say to you," I bit out, my hand trembling slightly.
