Chapter 4
“Everyone, please remain calm. Let’s continue,” he said as he reopened the diary to read.
Amidst the pages, there was a sense of hope for the future mixed with the fear of danger.
She was devastated that her brother always sided with Kellie.
Still, she attempted to forge a new path, even choosing to embrace love.
She penned in the diary about meeting a kind boy.
Kyle felt truly happy for her–at last, she no longer relied on the meager affection from her family.
She found someone who genuinely cared for her.
This happiness endured for a while, documenting the steadiness and joy in her relationship.
But eventually, the diary entries took a darker tone.
On June 18, 2018, I caught my boyfriend kissing Kellie.
When I confronted her, she insulted me, calling me a useless waste.
She said, “Whether it’s your brother, your parents, or your boyfriend— they’ll all choose me whenever I want.”
A few days after that, my boyfriend ended things with me, accusing me of being a slut despite my virtuous facade.
Sitting in front of the TV, Adam frowned slightly and glanced at Kellie
questioning the diary’s truthfulness.
He took pride in being fair, and his unwavering support for Kellie stemmed from the trouble Amy often caused.
This situation seemed like a tangled mess, possibly something Amy had concocted intentionally.
How could Kellie, who loved him so much, intentionally seduce another person’s boyfriend?
On July 20, 2018, my brother and Kellie got engaged.
Although she was gracious toward me, she also made some odd and apologetic comments.
While taking a break to use the restroom, I ran into the five men from that night.
They demanded 200 thousand dollars, threatening to release photos if I didn’t comply.
By August 3, 2018, I had been kidnapped for ten days, and high–quality photos of me had spread all over the internet.
My brother called to berate me, and my parents told me to leave the house.
Walking down the street, I felt as if everyone was mocking me.
I went to the police, but they had already erased all evidence.
When the offenders were finally caught, they claimed I had given my “consent.”
On September 20, 2018, the doctor diagnosed me with severe depression, and I was expelled from school.

Things became even more nightmarish when Kellie confessed that she had orchestrated everything.
She claimed that destroying me was the only way she could feel completely at ease.
When I confronted her, she pretended to fall down the stairs, resulting in a pool of blood around her.
Her family rushed her to the hospital in a state of panic, and they turned on me, accusing me of being cruel.
“We ignored your petty jealous antics toward Kellie before, but now you’ve killed one of our own,” they said, forcing me to kneel and apologize despite my protests of innocence.
When Kellie regained consciousness, she started crying and pleaded with me not to harm her child.
In a sudden move, she grabbed a fruit knife from my brother’s hand and stabbed it into my mouth, slashing outward with a fierce expression.
All I could feel was a rush of blood, and I lost my ability to speak.
The diary concluded at this point.
Kellie, who had stepped out earlier to take a phone call, returned carrying a bag of takeout.
“Mom, Dad, please don’t be upset. I ordered from your favorite
restaurant.”
Facing the camera, Kyle addressed the crew with a conflicted expression.
“If what’s written in the diary is true, then…”
“Is it possible that she’s actually innocent?”
“That would be so heartbreaking. It’s just like that classic novel plot where the fake wealthy daughter frames the real one–a truly manipulative plan.”
Listening to their discussion, a glimmer of hope sparked within me.
Could there really be someone who believed me?
Adam sneered, “Do you honestly think anyone would buy into that weak evidence? I’ve dealt with Amy’s lies myself.”
