Maggie stared at the message, and she shook her head immediately. "No way. I am not going to allow you to put your life at risk for me once again. I cannot do that, Aria. I am sorry, Aria. I really am." She deleted the message, only to receive another the next moment.
'Call me when you are free. I need to talk to you and don't you dare ignore me.'
Maggie ignored her message once again, and she deleted it right away. "I am not going to call you, Aria. I know you will try to persuade me. But I am not going to put you or Ivy in danger. You are the only two people I have in my life. I am sorry."
More than an hour passed since Aria had sent the message and she had not received any response from Maggie. At first, Aria had been skeptical about Maggie's intentions. But after not getting any reply from her even after a long time had passed, Aria was now certain that Maggie was ignoring her on purpose.
