A Moment in Destiny

Five years ago.

City B.

The radio was announcing the news of City B in a summer afternoon. According to the station’s news, “A woman's corpse was found at the intersection point of the Western Suburbs of River City B and JS Road. The woman’s age was about 20 years old. Her death time was approximately 72 hours. The possibility of homicide was not excluded as the corpse’s identity was still under investigation…”

Natalie Graham’s heart skipped a beat after hearing the news. Her heart was beating vigorously a few times of a sudden. Homicide? Suicide?

Before Nat took some time to think more about it, suddenly, the door of her house was opened. Her father, Kane Graham walked in sullenly.

Nat slightly shook the radio and then spoke to Kane, “Dad, there is a murder case appearing again over the Western Suburbs!”

Kane said nothing. He went straight to the sofa and sat down. He seemed hesitant to say something.

“Dad?” Nat didn't know what happened to her father. She thought maybe he was recalling the sad things again. Therefore, she just kept quiet.

Then, Kane broke the silence out of the blue, “Nat!”

“Dad, anything?”

“...” Kane’s hesitant speaking mode made Nat feel uneasy. She was looking at her father with her breath being held.

While she was thinking, she finally heard Kane’s words in his long sigh, “Nat, two of us have been relied on each other for 20 years. Do you think dad being nice to you?”

“Dad, to me, you are the best person ever. Nobody loves me more than you!” She felt guilty when she thought of her father who hadn't remarried for her sake.

“I am going to take revenge for your mum and brother!” Kane continued his words.

Nat’s heart did a flip, “Dad, I also share the revenge. Just tell me, is there any evidence for it?”

“No evidence!” Kane rubbed his forehead, “But there is a great opportunity!”

“Hmm!”

“The female corpse in the River City B is actually Rae Baxter!” Kane said.

Nat’s eyes were widened suddenly. Rae? The woman who looked 100% alike as Nat herself? The woman was actually Rae? She was the enemy's daughter! It turned out that she was the deceased woman? !

Nat couldn't describe her feeling at the moment but she felt bad and her heart shuddered of a sudden.

Kane looked up and took a glimpse at Nat with an observing look in his eyes.

“Dad, how did she die?”

“It doesn't matter how she died. The most important thing now is that I want you to become the impostor, go to Rae’s house and become their daughter!”
