A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 294

She knew Vincent very well so sometimes she could actually guess it even if he didn’t clarify the matter. Without saying much, she put the phone at her ear and waited for Vincent to finish dialing the phone number.

“Hello, may I know is Leila Hunter here?!” Normally everyone should be staying at home at this time since it was the time that most of the people had their dinner.

“Leila was not back. She stays in her own house. Who are you?” Mabel Ross asked.

“Oh! I am her friend. Her phone is off, may I know that do you have any other way to contact her?”

“You can call her home telephone, the phone number is…” Leila’s mother, Mabel told her the phone number of Vincent’s villa.

Pippa Russell put down the phone and looked at him amusedly, “Do you want to make a call to your house?”

Vincent’s face was somber and frowning. He took out his phone and made a call to Macey Hunter by himself.

“Is Leila staying with you now?”

“Why should I tell you?” Macey hung up rudely.

“Holy shit!” Vincent swore and hung up the phone. Then, he sat down on the sofa in anger.

“Is that the girl who tried clothes at my store last time?!” Pippa thought for a while and smiled.

“How do you know that?” He actually didn't want to tell her more about that but it was such a strange thing that she could guess it out.

“I just guess randomly! That girl looks good but she was Brian Hunter’s daughter. What do you think, Vincent? I think that the girl is really innocent!” Pippa Russell shrugged and responded to him with a smiling face.

“It's none of your business. I will not change my words. If you agree to get married to me, I will divorce her and marry you now!” He looked at Pippa.

Pippa smiled faintly with a playful tone, “Alright, you go and divorce Leila to save her, I am waiting for you to go through the formalities!”

“It's not a joke!” he spoke in a serious manner.

“Just forget about it, a man like you is not suitable to be a husband for me. Even if you are Owen’s dad and you can give him a complete family, I will not marry you. This is because you have too many evil factors. I'm afraid that I would accidentally be blown up by you if I married you, and then I would be like in the hell!”

“I'm leaving!” Vincent shrugged and rolled his eyes. “You should get off work early, Owen was handed to the nanny!”

“Okay!” Pippa waved her hand.

Vincent walked out.

“Vincent—” Pippa shouted again.

“Huh?” Vincent turned around.

“You have taken it seriously~!” she said.

“No!” Vincent was in an extremely calm, “You are right that I have no heart, you will die if you marry me!”

Vincent called Leila in the afternoon but he didn’t expect that her phone was being shut down. He was a little worried since Leila was staying with Macey. When he thought of the scene in which she almost got into trouble in the bar last time…

“This damn woman!” Vincent was getting mad and wanted to throw his phone. He drove through the streets all the way to find Leila.

Leila woke up in the mist, the only thing that she remembered after breaking up with Macey at KFC was that she went to the cinema alone. Then, she bought a ticket and went in. There were only a few people in the cinema. She sat on her seat in silent tears but afterwards she fell into a drowsy sleep.

When she woke up, she frowned and looked at the strange place, she seemed to be lying on a straw mat. The light was very dim, she could see people but they didn’t look clear. Leila saw a man who wore a black mask in the mist and he was looking at her gloomily. Her hands and feet were tied up tightly.

The man looked at her, his voice seemed to have changed deliberately so it was coarse and a bit weird.

“Finally, you woke up. I thought I would have to wait for a very long time?” The man leaned close to her, having an ambiguous smile in his pupils which made him seem wicked and full of enmity.

Leila looked at him in shock and struggled to sit up. At that moment, a strong sense of dizziness struck her. Her hands were tied up, she was not able to move and she was startled. “You, what are you doing?”

“Uh! Who made the hickey on your body? Vincent White?” A wicked smile appeared on the man's face, meanwhile, layers of dark light flashed across his eyes.

“It's none of your business!” Leila glared at him. When she recalled the scene before her coma, she asked the man in shock, “You are the one who brought me out of the theatre?”

The man in the mask tilted his mouth, “No one told you that a girl should not go around by herself especially to the theatre alone? Don’t you know that there will be rapes here?”

“What do you want to do?” Leila struggled but still she couldn't get rid of the rope.

The man snorted disdainfully, “I have done that if I wanted to do just now, do I have to wait till you wake up?”

“You bind me for what? What is your purpose?” Leila looked at him anxiously. This man looked very young and she predicted that he had not reached 30 years old. His voice had changed deliberately which made him sound like an old man. However, his lips colour, hair, ugh, it seemed like he was wearing a wig, it was a bit long and close to his cheek.

“I don’t want to let Vincent be happy. My only purpose is I want you to divorce him!”

“How do you know we are married?” Leila was surprised to hear that and a flash of doubt appeared in her eyes.

“I know much more than that. Vincent is my enemy. I don't want him to be happy. So, are you going to divorce him?” He put his arms around her waist suddenly and squeezed her to lay on the straw mat under him.

“Let go of me…” Leila was startled in the dim light. Then, she struggled and shouted.
