A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 964 Something Unavoidable

"I don't have the key!" Rae put the key on Marcel's shoe rack.

Marcel frowned on the other side of the phone, "Where's the key?"

"It's on the shoe rack in your apartment!" Rae was shocked, Marcel hasn't gone back once?

"Come get it tonight at nine," Marcel said.

"All right!" Rae was hesitant but it was better to get it back the soonest possible. If the drug had a huge side effect and injured Marcel, she would feel guilty her entire life.

Nine o'clock at night.

Rae arrived at Marcel's apartment. She had a mixed feeling that was beyond description now. She stood in front of the apartment and took a deep breath before pressing the bell. After three beeps, the door opened and Marcel appeared at the door. Rae became nervous out of a sudden, "Sorry for disturbing you, Captain."

Two people that were once intimate speaking with a tone like now made Rae thought she was a hypocrite.

But this was the only way to keep herself from getting close to Marcel.

Marcel remained silent, he moved his body to let her through.

Rae walked in feeling embarrassed when they crossed over, she could even hear his breathing.

Rae was stunned. She could now differentiate his emotions through his breathing.

It was obvious that Marcel was angry, he followed Rae into the apartment as he banged the door behind him.

Rae's pulse was racing as if she was riding on a roller coaster that suddenly stopped at the highest spot, hanging in the air. She turned her head and saw Marcel stood behind her, they were so near to each other that she could feel his breath on her cheeks, the situation was intense.

Rae was shocked and fell a step behind and turned to look at Marcel again.

Marcel on the other hand looked at Rae in displeasure, as if like he looked down on her, his glance was full of despise.

Rae knew and prepared to be laughed at or ridiculed by him. But she knew the reason he treated her like this was because of Adam. If there was nothing that happened between Rae and Adam years ago, she wouldn't be in a relationship with Marcel. To Rae, this was something unavoidable.

"I'm truly sorry to have disturbed you this late, I'll go get my stuff and leave right away," Rae said in embarrassment.

As she spoke, she bent down to reach for her slippers and found that her slippers were no longer there; and she recalled that she threw it away the day she left.

Marcel's face stiffened as he observed Rae. This woman cleaned the house so thoroughly, leaving no trace behind as if she had never appeared in this apartment before.

He noticed this the moment he stepped in, he was already anger by this and got even angrier when he saw her. All the anger he had been suppressing exploded, he mocked, "Why did you come back after decided to leave? What's the point of coming back now? Using you left something here as an excuse to come back here again. Do you think I'm not aware of your intention?"

Rae was stunned, he misunderstood indeed.

Marcel was so sure that she would come back, and today was nothing but her excuse to do so.

Rae didn't explain, she laughed inwardly thinking that despite they had a relationship, but this was how he perceived her. To him, she was no different from other women, it would be a lie saying she was not upset by this, but there was nothing she could do.

Rae didn't say a word but removed her shoes and walked barefoot into the house. She just wanted to take the stuff and left, but she didn't know her action provoked Marcel further. However, he didn't say a word and followed behind her to the bedroom in silence.

Rae opened the cupboard in the bedroom looking for the small box with important stuff she kept at the bottom, but the box was nowhere to be seen. She skipped a heartbeat, where was the box?

Rae tried to recall, she couldn’t remember if she packed it in the luggage, but if she did, why couldn't she found it at home? It was such important stuff, something that could cost a life, she trembled only by thinking about this. She then continued opening another cupboard, the box she was looking for was not in there too. She immediately turned to Marcel who stood by the door, staring at her coldly. After a moment of hesitation, she asked softly, "Did you see my box? It's a box with keys!"

Marcel grunted, "You are such a joke, Rae, how could there be a box that never existed? This is nothing but your excuse to come back to me, there's no need to put up a show. You can be the next Oscar winner."

Rae ignored his despised and ridiculed, "Captain, that box is very important to me, if you have it, please return it to me," she said.

Marcel smiled mockingly, "Do you think I'm as ridiculous as you? I've got no time to be wasted like you, you think everyone has a habit of fooling others like you? How many men have you fooled up until today? Now you are holding grudges that you've been rejected by me, so you intend to come back trying to fool me again?"

Marcel's sarcastic and despised words were like a knife piercing through Rae's heart. She was sad because Marcel had never truly understood her while they were together, she felt even sadder because Marcel forgot about Natalie in the past, and she also felt sad for the real Rae. Rae seemed to be her twin, it looked like that at the moment, that was why she felt sad for her.

Rae looked up and swept a glance at Marcel, he was wearing a beige casual t-shirt, standing at the door and staring at her full of despised and irony. She felt extremely sad looking at him.

She looked up once more at Marcel, feeling guilty, if Rae was her twin sister, what she did to Adam that caused him to lose his legs made her felt guilty. This was Rae's responsibility and she felt guilty as her twin sister, this was the reason why Marcel was suffering in pain, hence, she felt sad and guilty while looking at Marcel.

Marcel frowned noticing Rae looked at him that way, his gaze towards her turned complicated, but both of them chose to be silent.

After a long while, Rae tried communicating with Marcel patiently again. In her opinion, the box was still in his apartment, or Marcel took it. She asked, "Captain, did you see that box?"

"No." Marcel answered with certainty in the meantime began speaking in a sarcastic tone again, "Stop looking for excuses, you are here to reconcile with me, don't you? Let me tell you, I feel disgusting even thinking about sleeping with you!"

His words were hurtful, but Rae thought this was not his true meaning, he wanted to embarrass her with words. It was not like she didn't care but she understood that there were reasons behind it. She decided not to object or argue with him no matter what he said, it was the highest level of being calm.

Rae noticed that Marcel didn't intend to return the box, so she continued, "Please return the box to me if it's with you, Captain, what's in there is dangerous and I don't want anyone to get hurt, so please

return it to me! It was my fault to have done something that might hurt you, but please forgive me, perhaps I didn't mean it. I know apology and explanation mean nothing now, but if it had hurt you, I'm truly sorry."

"Haha… Sorry?" Marcel yelled out, "If sorry works, we don't need police in this world."

Rae looked up at Marcel and found that his eyes were reddened, it pained her and made her want to cry because she saw his emotion in his eyes. A helpless struggle, filled with grudges and sadness. She let out a sigh inwardly, "Marcel, do you know I'm truly in love with you? I've never played you, not a tiny bit, how could a person as smart as you not have noticed it?"

Rae asked again, "Captain, please keep the box safe if it's with you or give it to Gustavo to test the drug content, I think it's poison and I don't wish to keep it secret anymore, so do keep it safe so that it doesn't hurt anyone. That's all I want to say, I shall leave now, goodbye."

Rae headed out once she finished. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Marcel, on the other hand, grabbed her on her arms, threw her on the bed, and then he flipped the table in the room. Everything fell down the floor causing noises, he even smashed the table onto the ground causing loud bangs!

Rae was startled, this was the first time she had seen Marcel's outraged.

She didn't expect to see Marcel like this, perhaps even Marcel himself didn't know he would lose control of himself. He broke everything he could in the room and choked Rae on her neck, "Rae Baxter, do you even have a heart?" he uttered the word with his teeth gritted.
