Chapter 53

• Maliyla's POV
• As we waited in what would have been a living room, since Katia had hotel personnel rearrange things to make an office-type setting, I began to feel anxious. The plan was for everyone except Gisselle to introduce themselves. Since Gisselle was the reason for this meeting, we wanted to ensure that her being alive was the icing on the cake built upon Erick's lies. She was instructed to wait in the kitchen and would enter at the mention of her absence.
