Sweet Secret by Karina Castillo (Bekacastle) (classic reads .TXT) 📖

"And Alessia," I finished. “Ultimately Denzel was right. Jayden is the one who has been paying Alessia to get information on me and to publish my diary.”

"How do you know that, Beck?” Joe asked.

"Denzel and I saw her printing sheets at three in the morning at school." I lowered my head. “I know you don't like that, but…”

“Does not matter. Denzel won't bother you again when you talk to him.” He got out of the car and I followed him and called out his name. “Don't worry, I'm going to talk to Jayden.”

I stood there for a few minutes while Joe and Jayden talked, Jayden turned to me for a few seconds and then continued talking to my boyfriend.

I know, Bec, that word sounds strange coming from you.

But she had to get over it, now she had a boyfriend.

“Now you send your dog to defend yourself?” Alessia walked over. “I'm not surprised.”

"You don't know what you're saying." 

Come on, was that it? You're pathetic, Rebecca.

Alessia blew out an amused snort under her breath.

“What do you have with men? What the fuck are you playing at, Rebecca?” he inspected me. “First Jayden, then Denzel, and now Joe. You are a prude.”

“I'm not going to waste my time on you, Alessia. She advanced on me. “Get out of me.”

"I imagine you're planning something, and I'm dying to know what it is." His breath spread across my face. My God, this woman didn't wash her mouth when she made Denzel the yummy.

I backed up and turned my face away to get the smell around me, but it didn't work.

“I'm not hiding anything. But you do. I know that you and Jayden are collaborating to destroy me.” She laughed again as if she were drugged and her green eyes returned to look at me with attention.

“It hurts?” I ask.

“I do not know what you mean.”

"Does it hurt that I have your two men under my command?" What has the boy you liked and the boy you experimented with, what? A stupid kiss that ended? You're a bitch” without thinking once more I slapped her leaving a bloody cut on her left cheek.

She burned with fury.
"Don't ever mess with me again, you stupid bitch." I gritted my teeth.

That felt great.

I got in the car and waited for Joe, after a few minutes he came back and started the car.
“What happened?” asked.

"He told me that someone had given him the order, he just carried it out.” He seemed annoyed. “This thing they're doing to you, without ratting anyone out, without knowing who's hurting you, is worrying me, Rebecca.”

“At least we have two suspects; Jayden and Alessia.”

“By the way, I saw that. What made you mad, cutie?” He started the car.

“That stupid bitch got on my nerves, so I did what I had to do. But I feel that what I did was worse. What if there's another piece of my diary going around the university tomorrow?”

“I do not think so.”

I looked at him puzzled, he snorted and spoke again.

"The person who's doing this to you won't get carried away by a hit, that would give them away right away."
"I never should have kept that stupid diary." “Joe parked the car at my house. Joe took my face and placed a kiss on my lips, when suddenly the door of my house opened and Mom came out unexpectedly with her arms crossed.

Oh no, he had done something that made her furious.

"I have to go." I left immediately and walked into the house with her following me.

"Stop right there, Rebecca," my mother snapped. “Do you want to explain to me why you keep talking to Denzel Derricks, Tyler Derricks's nephew?”

I rolled my eyes in frustration.

"I promise you that today was the last time I spoke to him." I put my hands together. “Please mom, I'm not in the mood to talk about that idiot.”

“There is my love, I just want you to stop hanging out with that guy.”

"If that worries you, I was with Joe today, and he asked me to be his girlfriend." My mother hugged me excitedly, telling me something about relationships and first love.

But what my mother didn't know was that Denzel was the one who was stealing my heart even if it hurt, and he didn't want to hurt Joe.
