Chapter 27:

Elyse arrived promptly at the orchestra’s studio on a workday morning. As she walked into the rehearsal room, she immediately sensed the odd looks from those around her. Heading to her locker to get her violin for practice, she was shocked to find it vandalized – its strings had been cut and everything inside was splattered with red paint.

“Who did this?” Pulling the damaged violin from her locker, she turned to confront other orchestra members, her expression fierce. She scrutinized each of them intently, yet no one confessed. Raising her voice, she accused, “So no one will own up to this? How despicable! Engaging in such vile behavior!”

“I did it. What are you going to do about it?” From the back of the room, Rebekah stepped forward, her hands casually tucked in her pockets, facing Elyse with a composed air.

“Why would you do this? Just because we’re competing? Isn’t this a bit extreme?” Elyse challenged her, fighting to control her mounting anger.

“It’s not extreme. I simply can’t tolerate a person like you as my rival.” Rebekah’s lips twisted into a scornful smirk. “Everyone here knows you’re the one who betrayed her groom and ended up abandoned at your own wedding.”

As Elyse, still seething with anger, listened to Rebekah’s words, confusion clouded her eyes. “Who said that?”
