A Moment in Destiny

Marcel interrupted her again as she was about speak, “Rae, say one more word and I’ll strangle you! I’ll shoot you to death!”

Amid the conversation, he wasn’t sure when a gun got into the grip of his hand, it was equipped only when they had to perform dangerous official duties.

As Rae stared at the pitch-black gun point that was pointed towards her, she was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness. She felt as if nothing else mattered anymore and spoke nonetheless, “Marcel, I’d rather have you beat me to death because there are things that I need to tell you! If we keep going down this road, we’ll end up leaving each other someday, so might as well do it now! I’ll let you do the honour if you’re unsatisfied with what our relationship has become. I’ve let you down, this is all my fault! You don’t even believe me anyway.”

“Who the hell said I don’t believe you anymore!” Marcel yelled, his gun muzzle already pressed against Rae’s forehead. He gave Rae an ice-cold stare and approached her coldly, he then uttered word for word. “You really are capable of making me angry! You think you’re being so smart about this, have you told me anything at all? I don’t care what anyone else says, but what about you? Have you even said anything to me?”

Rae froze in place, her heart felt so tight as she was moved by his words. She was on the verge of breaking down!

Did this mean he still believed her?

Marcel’s gun remained on her forehead, but Rae wasn’t the slightest afraid, she knew he wouldn’t do anything reckless to hurt her. She had put all her faith in Marcel at this moment.

Even though he was furious and pulled his gun out, she had nothing to fear.

Rae lowered her head while she bit her lip, she didn’t dare look at Marcel in the eye, it would make her cry.

“It’s not like that! I just wanted you to know that I never betrayed you, I’m innocent! I think you should be able to tell. I’m not bothered with what others have to say as well, I was just afraid you would’ve listened to them!” Rae explained, sourly.

There was sourness in her tone, her voice muffled as she explained.

Marcel clenched his fists so tightly that his veins were exposed. “What’s with Reuben James?”

“I don’t know how to tell you! Stop questioning me, I’m begging you!” she was already crying when she spoke, her eyes were welled up with tears as they dropped unceasingly, “I need a little bit more time!”

Marcel kept his gun and looked at Rae, his eyes already grown dark. He didn’t try to comfort her, nor did he continue to pressure her with questions. His usual calm composure returned, as if Marcel was a totally different person when he lost control earlier. Without saying a word, he started the car engine and drove forward.

Rae didn’t dare to speak of a word either.

A call came in not too long after, Marcel answered it and said, “I know, inform Reuben’s lawyer that this is a special case, instructions from the higher ups, a problem with the lawyer, come back tomorrow!”

Right after he finished, he hung up the call.

Rae stayed silent, she didn’t know what to say.

Marcel drove her to InterContinental Century City and brought her back.

Before she got down from the car, Rae received a call from Ophelia Grant, “Hey, how are you? Did Marcel punish you?” asked Ophelia over the phone.

Rae felt dizzy after hearing her question, what she said just complicated things even more.

“Yes!” that was all she replied.

“What did he do to you?”
