Reyna’s eyes widened in surprise. “What?”
Isabelle took out her phone and clicked on a photo to show Reyna.
That was Bentley in college. He was energetic and youthful. Next to him stood a boy with a bright smile.
The boy held a basketball in his hand. His other fair arm rested on Bentley’s shoulder. They laughed at the camera in front of many chartreuse flowers. Their sunny smiles made the flowers dim and colorless.
The more Reyna looked at the photo, the more strange she felt. She looked at the boy’s face carefully and thought she had seen him somewhere.
Reyna pointed to the boy’s strange and familiar face. “Is he … Dereon before the plastic surgery?”
Because his eyes were the same as Dereon’s eyes she saw now.
Isabelle nodded. “Yes, Bentley and Dereon have known each other since high school. They sat next to each other in class and had a good relationship. They used to play basketball together, eat together, and skip classes together. They agreed to go to the same college, and they did get into the same college as you. You’re alumni, but they’re two years older than you.”
Reyna was shocked. Her long-buried memories seemed to be blowing open and becoming clear.
That was when Reyna had just been with Bentley. Every time she went to see Bentley, he was playing basketball. But once she came, Bentley wouldn’t keep her waiting too long. Bentley usually ended the basketball game hastily and came to accompany her.
Seeing this scene, Bentley’s friends who played basketball with him would stop playing and go back to their dormitories.
Reyna remembered seeing Dereon a few times, but she just glanced at him and didn’t even say hello.
Then Bentley took Reyna to meet his close friends. They had several meals, but she never saw Dereon again.
It was reasonable that she had no impression of Dereon.
Reyna asked hesitantly, “Did … I unwittingly hurt Dereon and become the other woman between them?”
Isabelle couldn’t help laughing. “No, it’s not like that. Although I don’t know when Dereon had feelings for Bentley, I’m sure Bentley didn’t know that Dereon liked him. Dereon didn’t tell him anything. Bentley always considered they were best friends.”
Reyna thought, ‘That means Dereon is secretly in love with Bentley.’
But Reyna could understand Dereon.
Bentley was heterosexual, so Dereon was unlikely to tell Bentley his feelings. Dereon wouldn’t want to break his friendship with Bentley.
Reyna wondered, ‘Bentley got burned because of me. He was in danger at that time. Is that why Dereon has a grudge against me and keeps targeting me?’
Reyna asked, “How did you know each other?”
Isabelle replied, “I was in the same high school as they were, but not in the same class. In high school, I fell in love with Dereon at first sight.” Perhaps Isabelle had moved on, so she said these things calmly, “I was young and full of enthusiasm. I often create opportunities to meet Dereon to be seen by him. Gradually, I entered their world and became best friends with them.”
Isabelle looked down and continued, “But after spending time with them, I noticed that Dereon often strangely looked at Bentley. He didn’t look at his friend but at his favorite person. He looked at Bentley with bright eyes, just like a woman looking at a man she loved.”
Reyna asked, “Did you know from then on that Dereon liked Bentley?”
Isabelle nodded. “But I couldn’t accept it. Even though I knew Dereon didn’t like me, I fell in love with him regardless. After graduating from high school, my family arranged for me to study abroad. We parted ways, and we didn’t contact each other for four years. Just when I thought we couldn’t be together, I came back and met Dereon again. He changed a lot, but he no longer refused my pursuit of him.”
Isabelle laughed at herself. “I knew Dereon accepted me because Bentley died in an accident. I imagined that we would get married. However, he suddenly started having plastic surgery to make himself look like Bentley. I thought that Dereon changed his face into the same face as Bentley because he couldn’t forget Bentley. I didn’t know anything was wrong until he agreed to Mrs. Decker’s request to live as Bentley at the Decker’s.”
Reyna asked, “You … must be in pain, right?”
Although Isabelle said as she broke down in tears, she didn’t look sad. She was calm, but she kept crying.
Reyna quickly pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Isabelle to wipe her tears.
Isabelle wiped away her tears and smiled. “I have moved on. Why am I crying?”
Reyna said, “It shows that you haven’t completely moved on. Even if you don’t like him now, you can’t get over the grievances and pain you’ve suffered from him so quickly.”
“Yes, you’re right. I still have a grudge against him now. But he didn’t do anything. I brought it all on myself. I can only swallow this pain and unwillingness.”
Isabelle calmed herself down and said, “The Decker family needed an heir to stabilize its foundation, so Dereon with Bentley’s face became the only choice for Mrs. Decker. Since then, Dereon has lived as Bentley. Besides the Deckers, I’m the only one who knows his true identity. And he became Bentley because he wanted to get back at you.”
“Bentley died because he saved you. Dereon hates you. He doesn’t think you are worth it for Bentley to give his life to save you. Especially when he sees you with Leroy, he hates you even more. Dereon swore that he would torture you and never let you live a good life.”
Reyna finally understood the source of Dereon’s resentment towards her.
Bentley lost his life because of her. Dereon liked Bentley so much that he couldn’t swallow his anger.
Dereon always thought Reyna ruined Bentley. Without her, even if they couldn’t be together, at least Bentley was alive.
Reyna thought, ‘Mrs. Decker and Dereon both hate me so much because of Bentley.’
Reyna asked, “There’s one thing I don’t understand. How did Dereon know about so many private things between me and Bentley?”
Dereon knew about their rings, her preferences and tastes, and what happened between her and Bentley.
Isabelle replied, “Bentley had a notebook where he recorded everything you did together. I heard from Dereon that Bentley wanted to give it to you as a souvenir at your wedding. But then there was a fire, and Bentley died. Dereon has this notebook now. He knew everything about you and Bentley from this notebook. Sorry, Reyna. I watched him do all this, but I couldn’t stop him.”
“It’s not your fault. I don’t think anyone can influence Dereon’s decision.”
