A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 321 The Strange Phone Number

When the phone rang out of the blue, Vincent White picked up the phone and he frowned when he saw the strange phone number, but still, he accepted the call.

“Hello, is this Mr. White?” The person was a man.

“Who are you?” Vincent said in his cold voice.

“It doesn’t matter who am I but the important thing is that someone saw your wife was dating with your assistant, Arthur Lane in an apartment of Sea Hotel !” Just as he finished the sentence, the phone was hung up.

Vincent looked at the number and he called back but it was not answered. He knew that the man had taken out the SIM card. That was a call with purpose. His face turned gloomy, staying with Arthur?

After that, he made a U-turn of his car and changed his direction to Sea Hotel. He was staring at the road ahead with his sharp eyesight. The speed of his car had reached 150 miles.

When he got downstairs, he looked up at the lighted floor which was the twenty-seventh floor. His hand which was holding the steering wheel was violent, but he calmed down and took out his phone, he called Arthur.

Arthur, who was eating supper with Leila upstairs received a call from Vincent of a sudden. He frowned and glanced at Leila. Then, he answered Vincent’s call. “Hey, Vincent, why don't you sleep at midnight but call me?”

“How about going for a drink with me?” Vincent’s tone was calm and Arthur couldn't know his emotions at all by only hearing his voice.

Arthur frowned again, he felt a bit suspicious. “Drink? Why are you not sleeping at midnight? Are you crazy?”

“Forget about it!” The phone was hung up by Vincent.

Arthur felt tingling behind his back.

Leila stiffened her body too. Oh, it was his call. He was calling Arthur to drink with him. He was having such a good mood to get a drink. Leila jeered at herself, her heart was so bitter but she forced herself to smile and bowed her head to eat steak. “It is tasty!”

“It's Vincent, don’t you think that it's weird that he called me at midnight?” Arthur was really insecure.

Leila curved her lips, “I have no idea.”

She didn’t want to know about anything he said now.

Seeing that she wasn’t in a good mood, Arthur concerned about her, “I am sorry, come, please have some food. You should eat some food to divert your attention when you are in a bad mood!”

He understood Leila and he also knew that Leila and Vincent were having problems that were not easy to be solved. As an outsider, he couldn’t say anything at that time so he just kept quiet and said nothing.

Ten minutes later.

The doorbell rang.

“Someone is knocking on my door at midnight, will the person be my concubine? I remember that not many people know this place!” Arthur strode over angrily and then he opened the door.

He stared fiercely at the visitor outside. After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, his angry expression was frozen on his face and he spoke with his blank mind, “Vincent, why are you coming?”

A sense of complexity flashed in Vincent’s eyes, he looked straight at Leila who was sitting at the dining table eating. She was wearing pyjamas and it seemed like she had just taken a shower. How ironic and dazzling was this scene? His woman and his assistant were sitting and having supper together at his assistant’s house!

Leila stood up, her eyes were in a daze and she looked at Vincent in shock.

Her mind went blank and she didn't know what to say at that moment. How should she explain to him? What should she do?

“Vincent, please come in!” Arthur was startled. Then, he was calm and spoke with a happy smiling face, “Leila is also with me! But how do you know that she is staying here?”

Vincent’s face was cold and his gaze fell on Leila. He was looking at her quietly without saying a word, he also didn't walk in and kept standing at the door.

Leila was stunned, she raised her eyes and looked straight into his eyes bravely. Then, she whispered, “I want a divorce!”

She stared at his eyes and was almost terrified by his somber handsome face. His eyes were like sharp arrows which seemed like they were about to shoot through her body. She was startled but still, she said the same words. “I don’t want to talk to you!”

After saying this, she turned and went into the first room on the left.

Leila took a deep breath. She knew that the matter of today seemed a little difficult to explain. She began changing her clothes. She didn’t want to give more trouble to Arthur. Vincent looked so angry and scary. If he wanted to express his anger, just let him throw all troubles on her. Don’t implicate Arthurin their problems.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Suddenly, she heard a “bang” sound from the outside. Following that was the roar from Arthur, “Excuse me! Vincent, tell me clearly, what does this punch mean?”

“Lying to me! Is this reason enough?” Vincent’s sloppy tone and indifferent face revealed his deterrence inadvertently.

Leila changed her clothes and ran out immediately. When she looked up, she saw Arthur glaring at Vincent in pain and grinning, using his hand to cover his chin. “Do you want to fight? I am not lying to you, it’s just that I didn’t tell you about this. Aren’t you too domineering? No wonder Leila can't take you anymore. Vincent, you should change your bad temper!”

“Do you want her?” Vincent pointed at Leila and smiled disdainfully. “I am telling you now that she really didn’t deserve to let us break up!

Leila’s body was slightly trembling and a hurtful emotion burst out. She glared at Vincent stubbornly with her widened big eyes. She couldn’t find a way to vent her sullen mood. After a long while, she walked towards Arthur with her eyes in tears, she forced herself to be strong and refused to shed tears. Then, she lowered her head and bowed. “Arthur, I'm sorry!”

After saying that, she rushed out in an instant.

“Leila!” Arthur, yelled anxiously and looked flustered, “Vincent, do you know that she might go jumping into the sea tonight, how can you do this to her? Hurry up! Go after her!”

Vincent’s pupils dilated and he said in his cold voice, “It doesn’t seem bad if she is dead!”

Arthur was so furious that he didn't know what to say. “If you don't go, I am going now! Vincent, she is innocent, I can't see you bullying her like this! If you are not going, maybe you will also miss the opportunity in the future!”

Vincent frowned and looked at Arthur. Finally, he turned around and walked out.

Arthur stroked his chin and murmured, “Well, nobody will believe that you don’t love her!”

When the door was closed, a sense of loneliness flowed into Vincent’s beautiful eyes. He was worried about her inevitably.

Just as Leila got out, Vincent stared at Leila who was running out with his deep eyes. His face was tangled at the moment and his eyes were darkened in an instant which no one could see into the bottom of it. Looking at Leila who pressed the lift button hurriedly, he strode over.

Leila turned her head while pressing the button. When she saw Vincent walking towards her with his indifferent face, she was stunned. The lift was going up from the first floor and she had no idea how long would it take to get up.

Thus, she turned and walked to the stairs.

“Stand there!” Vincent shouted at her.

Leila ignored him and went closer to the stairs directly.

He went towards her and blocked her way by standing in front of her. He grabbed her wrist and carried her on his shoulders. Ignoring her shout and resistance, he went up the stairs.

“Let me go! Vincent White, let me go!” She beat him on his back with her hand but he didn't care about that at all. He strode up the stairs with her until they reached the twenty-eighth floor which was the highest floor of the apartment.

Leila struggled violently. She was having the emotion that she had never expressed in front of him before. “Let me go!”

She even struggled to get down regardless of the danger of falling from his shoulder but he didn't give her any chance to struggle at all. He didn’t care about her fist falling on his back and went upstairs. Then, he entered a few words of password code on the code lock with a hand. Surprisingly, the door opened.

It turned out that the twenty-eighth floor belonged to him.

Vincent slammed the door, carried Leila into his house, and threw her onto the bed.

“What are you doing?!” Leila yelled at him in anger, “You have no right to do this to me!”

Vincent used his body to press her against him and put his hands on her body sides. He was trying to control his wrath, he stared at her and asked, “Are you going to divorce me and fall into Arthur arms?”

“You, you are crazy!” Leila shouted sadly. Tears filled her eyes. “It's not how you think like!”

Her eyes were moisturized and her sorrow made him even more frustrated.

Vincent felt bad, he gritted his teeth and asked, “Then tell me what is that?”

“I want a divorce!!” she blurted out.

His stony eyes relaxed suddenly. A trace of loneliness appeared in them.

She forced her tears back to her eyes. She was so stubborn that she didn't want to cry in front of him. However, her tears just fell when she blinked her eyes, she stared at him in such an aggrieved and stubborn face.

Vincent pulled off his tie, lit a cigarette, and took a sip irritably.

Leila got up and stood up to walk towards the door. He stretched out his long arms and stopped her. He just stood in front of her like a still rock without saying a word.

Leila pushed him, “Get out of my way, I said, I want a divorce. I will never believe you again and never have hope in you again, let me go out!”

“Tell me, why are you in Arthur’s apartment?” Vincent roared suddenly.

Leila cried more sorrowfully when he shouted at her in that way.

Her tears dropped without stopping. He looked down at her and stared at her tears. His heart felt sore of a sudden. He felt empty inexplicably. He stretched out his arms and hugged her in his arms very tightly.

“Let go of me! Please let me go! I hate you!” She cried more fiercely. His broad and warm embrace made her mind turn blank but the pain and anxiety of being used as chess made her heart pain again. She screamed hoarsely, “I don't want to deceive everyone with you anymore. I want a divorce, a divorce!”

He was not saying anything, just tightened his arms and hugged her really tightly in his arms. Her tears fell on his chest, smudging his shirt and burning his chest. It made him feel extreme pain in his skin.

At that time, he didn't even dare to wipe her tears because he didn't know how to face those clear eyes. He will feel more frustrated. Why was this happening?

Irritated, he became a little panicked. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and spoke in her ear viciously, “Don't ever think that I will let you go. The rules of the game are set by me. You have no right to say ‘end’.”

His words made Leila’s face turn pale completely. Her lips were not under control. They are trembling in anger, sadness, and hatred for a while. At that moment, she cried so fiercely.

Leila bit the muscle on his chest suddenly. She was biting it abruptly and not letting it go.

The pain made Vincent frown but it also eased his irritability, “Bite, even if you bite down my muscle, you can’t decide the rules of the game!”

Blood entered her mouth and a bloody smell poured in. Vincent did not move at all but just hugged her so tightly without letting go of his hands or crying for pain.

Leila’s mouth was full of bloody smell. It can be told that she bit him really hard.

However, Vincent also seemed to have no response as if it wasn't his body.
