I flipped through the pages again, this time with meticulous care, not wanting to miss a single detail.
The entry was dated right before he went back to his country, reading, "Over fourteen hundred days and nights have passed. It's time to return."
Fourteen hundred days, precisely four years.
Continuing my search, I abruptly stumbled upon an entry that made my heart skip a beat: "She finally isn't his anymore."
The date was the very day I was supposed to get my marriage license with Conrad Wagner.
That day, I discovered Haley had moved into the house I shared with Conrad. That day, I stood him up, effectively ending our paths together.
The revelation sent shivers down my spine. Taking a deep breath, I prepared to delve deeper, but the sound of a car engine outside halted my exploration. I had to put the diary away for now and head downstairs.
Yolande opened the door for Ernest, who was intimidating one of the men with a pointed toe under his chin, "Spill it now, or lose your chance to ever speak again."
His intensity was like nothing I'd ever seen—scary, but I couldn't look away.
Despite their lack of skill, the men were stubbornly silent.
Then, with a swift lift of his foot, Ernest caused a chilling snap, eliciting a pained groan from the man now sprawled on the ground, his face ashen.
"They're from the Browns, no doubt. Felicia mentioned it earlier," Yolande remarked, turning back to us.
Ernest and she then looked at me. I stepped outside, uttering only, "I want to go back home."
Ernest's jaw tightened, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to escort you."
"I'll do it. Looks like I'm free now, and I can take your sister back with us too," Yolande offered naturally.
Ernest's gaze shifted to me, not immediately agreeing with her.
