A Moment in Destiny
Chapter 942 Sorrow and Grief

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?"

Rae didn't return her query as Marcel was next to her in the car, "I won't be joining you for a meal today, maybe next time!" This was all she said. "That's fine, you're with Marcel now, right?"

"Mm hmm!"

"I got it!" Ophelia ended the conversation without saying anything else.

Rae peeked at Marcel who was unexpectedly silent, he still looked as cold as before.

He got out of the car, and she followed suit.

When both made their way back to the apartment, Marcel lit a cigarette and stood at the balcony for a smoke.

Rae avoided going over, as the situation today was really beyond her control.

She poured Marcel a cup of tea and placed it on the table, she then informed, "Have some tea first! I'm going to the bathroom!"

He didn't respond to her, she took a look at him and stormed off to the bathroom.

Rae noticed how she looked so pale after washing up, not a single hint of blood rush in her face. She felt intimidated and restless, with no sense of security at all, it seemed as if there was a knife that hung above her head every day.

Over at the balcony, Marcel's phone rang, and1 he picked it up, "Father!" he exclaimed.

The person over the line was Nate Hopkins, Marcel's father. He asked Marcel, "Are you still going to be a little police officer?"

Marcel paused for a moment, then replied, "Yes, I will!"

"If that's the case," Nate continued, "I'm going to get your younger brother back!"

Marcel spoke in a deep voice, "He is not my younger brother, mother only had me as her child, wherever did my brother come from?"

"Marcel, I know you're angry, but it is an undeniable fact that you have a half-brother!" Nate attempted to explain.

However, Marcel followed coldly, "I don't have a brother, and I know who you're talking about. I still stand by my words, I will not take over the company, but I'll never let anyone else inherit me and my mother's shares. It's fine if he's here, just don't let me get my hands on all the evidence of his illegal deeds. Or else, you know me, I would kill my kins for the sake of justice!"

"You-" Nate seemed to be infuriated.

Marcel unhurriedly added, "You'd better put the phone down, just in case if I would madden you again, in case I accidentally say something else. Don't say I didn't warn you!"

He triggered his father with such words instead of hanging up. Nate had cut the line immediately.

With hazy eyes, Marcel proceeded to smoke at the balcony. He glanced over to where the bathroom was, and Rae was still inside!

Rae was now crouched over, the depths of her heart filled with indescribable grievance, she had no where to let out her negative emotions. She was met at a cross junction in her life, with no clue how to carry on. This time, she was completely caught off guard and couldn't act according to her willpower.

At that moment, there was another call for her from a foreign number.

Every time she received a call from an unknown number, she would be shrouded in fear.

She was afraid that the caller's identity would be Kane Graham, coincidentally, that call was indeed, from Kane.

Rae toggled on the voice recording feature as she answered the call, she didn't really know why she had the urge to do so, it was inexplicable. Perhaps it was a defence mechanism, she seemed to be subconsciously on her guard.

"Hello!" Rae started over the phone.

"Is it convenient to talk?" Kane asked.

"Yes!" Rae returned.

"I want to see you now!" Kane's voice sounded like it was coming from the other side of a black hole, it was so low that it crept her out.

"I'm being watched!" Rae was telling the truth, "It won't be long now before my phone gets tapped, if anybody launched an investigation against me, then this phone will no longer be safe. I haven't been able to carry out what you ordered me to do, there wasn't a chance!"

After some pauses of silence, suddenly there was laughter that seemed as if it came from an underground area, the change of tone was adamant. "I bet you've started dating, that's why you don't have time to come see me. Who do you think you are, Rae? You're nothing more than an infamous piece of trash, you're starting to see yourself as someone! I'll be waiting at the CD shop in the alley way from across your unit at eleven o'clock in the morning, just for ten minutes. If you don't show up, you'll regret it!'

Rae was quick to reply, "I won't be free tomorrow morning!"

"Cancel your appointment!" Kane's tone was hard to reject.

Rae recalled all the hardships she had been through all these years, she couldn't help herself but rebelled in a harsh tone, "I'm not going, whatsoever!"

"I'll send Marcel a CD of you hooking up with different men, it'll be sent to your doorstep. Others wouldn't know about the inside information as well. You'll be damned!" Kane threatened.

Rae was dumbfounded at this very moment.

How could this person be her father?

How was he alright to kill one of his own in this manner?

Rae was sorrowful, "I really doubt whether you are Natalie Graham's father, how could you do this to me? Are we even biologically related?"

Suddenly, Kane howled at her as those words were uttered, “Bastard! You dare speculate about this to get away with everything! You think you can do whatever you want now! I'm telling you now that you have to go regardless, I can't help you on this!"

Kane hung up shortly after he was done.

Tears started to fall from Rae's eyes again, she was crying uncontrollably. She cried silently without a sound.

She sat on top of the lavatory as she hugged her device.

Her heart ached so much, she closed her eyes and wept again.

There were two knocks on the bathroom door, Rae was so shocked that her tears stopped flowing.

Rae messily wiped her tears off as she quivered, to hide the fact that she cried.

The door was then slammed wide open.

Rae turned her head in surprise as she saw Marcel coming in.

Rae had to cope with Reuben's mess, and at the same time she was faced with the silent treatment from Marcel, this made Rae look extremely tired. Not to mention the call from Kane completely drained the colour off her face, just like a white stainless begonia, clear and clean. Her pale lips were slightly upturned, it was unconsciously pursed together, as if attracted to each other silently. Marcel almost lost control at that sight of her, he wanted to take her into his arms.

Nevertheless, he stopped himself.

He was mad, so mad that he could kill her!

Instead, he stood there not moving a single muscle, and silently stared right at her.

Rae who sat on the toilet bowl froze.

Marcel then walked in as if she weren't there, this astonished Rae as she got to her feet.

Marcel undid his clothes in front of her and started to urinate.

Rae was stunned standing in the bathroom, she had forgotten that she cried. She just stood frozen with tears in her eyes.

Marcel had finished doing his business right in front of her!

Rae still hadn't recovered from what just happened.

After Marcel was done, he glanced over at Rae, went to the sink and washed his hands.

It was at this moment that Rae finally made a sound, "You, how could you do this?"

Her question was met with the sound of the water flowing. Marcel soaped and rubbed it until it foamed, he rinsed it away with water, and dried his hands with a towel. Only then did he acknowledge Rae's presence, he looked at her with gloomy eyes not saying a word.

Rae saw that he stared back at her and quickly tossed her head down, she didn't know how to respond.

She had completely let down her mental fortitude, she wasn't so thick skinned and started to blush.

Marcel approached her unexpectedly.

This caused Rae's heart to tighten.

His hand lifted her chin up, and she was forced to look at him. She gazed deeply into the depths of his eyes, where it gleamed in the darkness.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
