Chapter 29

“Was it you all this time?” Something changed inside me. The rage was suffocating me. Denzel took a step forward, but the boy stepped back and pulled a knife from his pants.

"Stay away if you don't want me to hurt them, Denzel." Jayden Foster felt more threatened than we did.

"Just give us the diary, it's all we want. We will not retaliate.” Denzel tried to calm him down.
“It's not that easy.” the factions of that one changed, something very bad was happening to him “I don't have the diary.”

I dropped my surrendered lips and breathed. I was sick of this damn game.

“No more lies.” Tell us who has his diary!” My boyfriend made a quick move, Jayden dropped the knife and Denzel kept it untouched on the ground. “I've lost my fucking patience! Speak now, asshole!”
"The diary is held by someone close to her." I moved closer. “All this time, his diary has been in his own home.”

"Don't lie anymore, Foster," my boyfriend pushed him away angrily and returned to my side.
“We already know that you are the one behind all this. We know that you and my sister…” Just saying it sounded disgusting. “We know that they planned to run away on the wedding day with the money that Isa planned to steal from Reed Derricks.”

"Your sister is a bitch," Jayden muttered. “Your sister told me that she was planning to blackmail Reed because he had cheated on her with another girl. It was the perfect revenge, until your sister decided to see my stupid face and decided to leave me one day before her wedding. I know what you plan to do, which is why I brought you here. You're going to take me to that wedding and I'll tell you where Rebecca's diary is.”

“This is bloody blackmail. Denzel clenched his jaw. The knife was still on the ground, but Jayden had his eyes on us. “I just want to stop your sister's wedding, Rebecca, I'm not planning to hurt anyone, you must understand that.”

"Why do you want to go to that wedding, Jayden?" Denzel asked in an irritating tone.

“It is not obvious? I want to stop Isabelle before she runs off on her own.”                                                            I laughed cynically.

"Do you really think we believe you?” no, it wasn't jealousy, it was fury.

"You can do it or go to hell." Denzel moved toward him, but I stopped him by the jacket.

"Okay, you're going to the wedding, but I want my diary in return."

“You will have it, Rebecca.

"I don't know why I don't believe him.” my boyfriend snapped as we sat in that restaurant where we had our first “date”. I was eating a hamburger and a lemon pie milkshake. With this pregnancy I needed a lot of food. Yehii.

“Me neither, but Jayden Foster is the last option we have left.”

“I don't agree to wear it to your sister's wedding, Rebecca. This time he had a knife, what if he carries a gun later?”

“I know, I know it's dangerous, but we don't have a choice.”

"Of course we have, we should call the police." As soon as they give you your diary, we'll call the police and they'll take him away. I don't want anyone to get hurt, especially you.”

“Everything will be fine, Denzel, we must trust that everything will be fine.”

"I knew I'd find them here." Anne, in surprise, came over to our table. They must know something.

I stopped drinking my milkshake and headed over to her.

'We've… been kicked out.”

“How did they get rid of them?” I narrowed my eyes.

"The person who has your diary doesn't want us to bother you any longer, Rebecca, that person thinks…" He stopped.

Of course, he was afraid to speak.

"What, Anne?” Denzel insisted.
"He thinks you know who he is." term.

I gave Denzel an odd look, and then Anne spoke.

“That person lives in your house, Rebecca.”

“Is my sister.” I grabbed my bag and rushed out with Denzel.

My own sister did this, I know.

“Where are you going?” I got into Denzel's truck.

“Please, take me home, I have to face my sister. She denies it, but I know that she is to blame for all this. There's a reason she wants to teach me a lesson, so I have to stop her before she steals from your cousin or escapes from Seattle.”

(…)

When I got home, the only thing I wanted to do was confront my sister, but there were a lot of people going everywhere. There were dresses everywhere, and my mother was fixing the ladies' dresses. In the background was the bride, who was looking at herself in the mirror, and a seamstress was doing her alterations.

That won't do any good.

"Isa, we have something to talk about.”

"I have nothing to talk to you about, Rebecca, you've made your point clear: I'm not your sister, I'm your enemy." he answered arrogantly.

"There's no reason for you to hide anymore, Jayden Foster came to me and told me that you had betrayed him." In fact, you betray everyone around you damn. You saw my face and wanted to tell those who I thought were my friends to join in a plot against me.”

“All you want is for me to humiliate myself before you, Rebecca, and you're not going to get it. Tomorrow is my wedding, and if you don't want me to take you off the list, shut the hell up and stop raving.”
“It's not delusions, it's the damn truth. Where did you hide it? At your boyfriend's house?”

“Reed has nothing to do with this.”

“You lie. He said he knew the person who had my diary, and when he said it I didn't believe him at all, but now I do. You are that person. It was you from the beginning.” Isa laughed annoyed under her breath, made a sign to the seamstress and she walked away.

Come on, Rebecca, you know you're not wrong in thinking that your own sister hates you.

"I hope you're happy. You ruin everything you touch, you even ruin Denzel.”
