Then he hung up.

"So you're sleeping with Jayden Foster too?" I took out all my anger, Isa left the phone in its place and looked up.

"Haven't they told you not to listen to other people's conversations, Rebecca?"

“Answer to me!” I yelled. Be careful Rebecca, that's not healthy for the baby.
“Yes.” He said without preamble. “There's nothing wrong.”

"Except if you're getting married." My boyfriend said under his breath, Isa gave him a suspicious look and then turned back to me when I took a step forward.

"You know Reed is an idiot," he laughed mischievously. “Did you think someone like me was going to marry such trash?”

“If you didn't want to marry him you wouldn't have, but accept and ask for money to run away with Jayden Foster? That's stupid, Isaac!”

“Some of us make our own decisions, it's everyone's choice, and if I want to pretend like others, that's my decision.” I felt that comment was very personal, and it was directed at me. “Let's just pretend nothing happened. Let me get enough money out of him to pay for what he did. Or don't you forget that he manipulated you many times?”

“He manipulated me because you were behind it, Isa. Oh my God! You are a monster!” She moved towards me but Denzel got in the way.

“That was enough.” He calmed her down. Isa was furious, she took her car keys and left. “Remember that what she decides to do cannot affect you, love.”

“Unfortunately all they do is affect me. One of them has my diary, it could be my own sister, Denzel. I could have that person in front of me and I don't realize it!”

“I promised you I'd find the person who has it, Rebecca.” He took my face in his hands. “You know why? Because I love you, Rebecca. I love you from the bottom of my heart and that is why I will not rest until I find the one who wants to hurt you, my girl.” I hug myself.

"Denzel," I sighed into his lap. “I love you too.”

"What a beautiful love scene," Reed interrupted us. “Do any of you know why my fiance left angry?”

I pulled away from Denzel, we both straightened up, and my boyfriend decided to talk.

“We found out he's sleeping with Jayden Foster and he just wants your money.” Reed kept the same reaction, looked up and crossed his arms.
“Already knew. he lied.”

"That's not true, you're just as disappointed as we are." I affirmed. Reed narrowed his eyes and laughed cynically. He was really pathetic.

"And why would I believe them, you idiots?" Denzel clenched his jaw, I know what he was about to do against his cousin but I stopped him by the arm.

"You must believe us," I added. “We ourselves heard Isa talking to him about running away. You can't give him money, and neither can your father. You have to call off the wedding, Reed, before it's too late and my sister…”

"Nothing is going to be annulled," he said. “And don't keep making accusations without proof if you don't want to be left out of the wedding that day, do you understand me?”

“Rebecca is absolutely right, Reed. His sister just wants to keep blackmailing you. Jayden and her sister want to see your face.
“Anyway, I'm not going to call off my own wedding.” and he left.

"He's a cretin." I sat in the chair, feeling a little dizzy, but I couldn't tell Denzel or he would find out. “It is incredible that he does not want to accept that we have beaten him for once in his life.”

"I'm sure this isn't the first time someone has beaten him. Jayden, Joe, Alessia, Anne and your sister could have your diary. The more time passes, the more terrified I am that they might make a next move. How will we find out if we have no proof?”

"Then we must get them, Denzel, we'll be playing their own damn game."
