A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 934 Heartbroken to Death

“Just do what you are told to do!” Leonard told her impatiently.

“Alright!” Mrs. Baxter was reluctant but she still agreed to it.

Upstairs.

Rae had already changed her clothes and was now lying on her bed doing nothing. She did not go downstairs and was thinking how should she face them.

While she was still in a daze, there seemed to be some noises at the door. She immediately stood up and be on guard.

At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Reuben’s tall body was standing in the doorway. He gave a slight smile when he saw that she looked like as if she had just gotten out of bad. His smile was starting to look more and more evil. “So? You won’t come downstairs? Are you avoiding me on purpose?”

Rae was shocked as she thought to herself that this man was very annoying, what else could she do other than avoiding him?

What else could she do now?

Reuben already walked into the room and closed the door. With a cold and proud expression on his face, he looked at Rae’s slim figure as she sat on the bed. He could not really recognize Rae anymore, she looked so quiet, calm and relaxed. What had happened in these past five years? A proud woman like her actually became like this.

“What the hell do you want?” Rae could not bear it anymore. “What about Ophelia?”

Reuben took a moment to look at Rae’s entire body as if he was assessing Rae who was in front of him. He opened his mouth and started talking in his usual sarcastic tone, “I've come to propose to you! Our engagement is still on, Rae. You don’t really think by simply saying you have forgotten me that I will act like I don’t care about it anymore?”

Rae snorted, thinking it was ridiculous how all men were all like this. She looked at Reuben’s handsome face. As she thought of the difficulties that Ophelia had to face, she couldn't help herself and shoot back, “Since you didn't forget about our engagement, why didn’t you come looking for me in those five years. Were you living with Ophelia, or were you with another woman? What did you think of me at that time?”

Reuben blinked as he heard her words. “At that time, I was angry at you!”

Rae was puzzled so she frowned at him.

“Rae, did you even forget the reason that we broke up?” Reuben always gave Rae a fright. She felt as if her heart was about to jump out.

“I have indeed forgotten everything!” Rae spoke calmly.

“Oh?” Reuben deliberately said it slowly. “Have you even forgotten the most intimate matter that we did together?”

Rae started blushing while feeling a little bit guilty.

“Rae!” Reuben suddenly sat down on the edge of her bed.

Rae was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped back a little and moved to the other side of the bed.

Reuben looked at her in a good mood and said, “Rae, I don't mind revisiting our old days! Back then, you were so cute and so beautiful. You were so small back then. When we were still a couple, you liked

it the most when I hugged you as we did intimate things together. You liked to whisper my name near my ear. Sometimes, you would even call me sweetie!”

Rae was a little frightened by Reuben as he started recalling back their memories together. She was thinking that Reuben might have a lot of memories with the real Rae. However, she was not the same Rae as before. Now, Reuben was talking about this kind of topic with her. Even though they were not close anymore, they were still talking about things they did when they were close. This made her felt humiliated and scared. She could not talk about this topic with Reuben with no care in her mind.

Reuben said again, “You also like to snuggle in my arms when eating ice cream. As you happily ate it, you would also wipe the ice cream on me, and then ...”

“Don't continue anymore!” Rae quickly stopped him.

“What?” Reuben raised his eyebrows, “Have you never forgotten it or you just did not want to remember? We have done more interesting things than this. Other then eating ice cream, there was also the matter with the candles, did you forget everything?” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

In an instant, Rae’s face was completely red.

She was about to die of embarrassment!

These were private things that Reuben and Rae did together, only they had the memories of. Whether she or Ophelia heard it, it would definitely cause problems. She would only be embarrassed from listening to it. However, if Ophelia were to hear it, she would be heartbroken extremely.

This man, Reuben, was even more frightening than those poisonous poppies.

If Marcel, uh, if Marcel knew that she and Reuben were talking about this kind of topic and knowing about their engagement, what would he think about it?

Their already shaky relationship would immediately go down the drain. She thought of the consequences if that were to happen. She would have to leave Marcel’s side, her future would be bleak, and that she might even lose her reputation or go to jail because of Rae. Her face turned even paler just thinking about it.

“So now what? Why is your face so pale?” He seemed to see despair coming from her eyes. Reuben suddenly curled up a smile while looking directly into Rae’s eyes, “You remember, right? I've never forgotten what it felt like to be with you! That feeling, was the best!”

The emotions in Rae's eyes, which were originally filled with despair, faded away in an instant. She was starting to give off an aura of calmness and arrogance. No matter what Reuben said, she had to be calm. She must not break down just because he came in and said that they were engaged.

A light smile stiffened on his cold face as Reuben thought he saw Rae was being afraid and terrified. However, at that instant, he clearly saw the toughness radiating from this thin figure in front of him, like a small beast on guard which was focusing on her gaze and ready for the final attack. She was not feeling fear, weak nor terrified like he first thought. She was actually feeling strong and was full with determination.

“Is that so? I can't remember anything that you had just mentioned, I don’t even remember you. I will soon forget those memories naturally in the future!” Rae spoke clearly word by word, “Reuben, I won’t accept this engagement and my parents will not force on me. So, whether or not you come and meet me, the end result will always be the same, nothing will change!”

“Hahaha, you are so heartless! Rae, you are still the same as you were seven years ago whether you remember you past. You also talked in this tone at that time, I was really impressed by it! Did Marcel help in making you braver, or someone else did? I am willing to come back to you, and you dare to reply to me like this! Alright! Very well!” Reuben’s calmness had faded away. Those sharp eyes of his stopped hiding as his gaze towards her turned cold.

As he spoke in a cold tone, Reuben suddenly reached out and grabbed Rae.

As Rae saw his hand had reached over to grab onto her wrist, she struggled violently and raised her leg to also launch an attack. She was unarmed, she only had her fists and a pair of injured legs. She used her less injured leg to quickly attacked towards Reuben’s chest and face with all her strength.

“Is that all the strength you have?" He did not use his feet and his tall body did not even move; Reuben only used one hand to grab onto her feet. He used one hand to grab her wrist and the other one to pulled her legs. By doing so, he pulled Rae's entire body to his side of the bed. He then pressed her down on the bed. Compared with other women, Reuben had to admit that her attack was strong and precise, her fighting spirit was also very appealing. However, compared to himself, she was just too weak for him. The reason was that during the years abroad, Reuben had been practicing his fighting skills. So, when facing Rae who learn a bit of fighting at the police academy, she was really no match for him. In addition, there was always a strength gap between men and women, so it was normal for Rae to be on the losing side.

As one of his hands quickly grabbed onto her hands, he then pinned her down from above. Reuben smiled grimly as his other hand slowly moved towards Rae’s cheek.

As they were still at the Baxter residence, Rae did not feel afraid. As she knew that Reuben would not do anything to her, so she still did not move. His hands were grabbing onto hers quite tightly. He was also pressing her down. Based on what she tried just now, Rae clearly knew she was not a threat to him at all. He was just too strong and she was just too weak, she still wouldn’t be able to win against this strong yet cold man who was pressing down against her even if she tired.

What did Reuben really want?

Was it true that he loved Rae?

What really happened back then? How did the Rae who was pregnant died?

Also, where was Reuben at that time?

Whose child was in Rae's belly?

What did Matthew mean by those words? What did he know?

Now it seemed that there was a big secret behind Rae’s death.

“Rae, in these seven years, haven't you ever thought of me for a single day?” Reuben spoke morosely and coldly, his large hand lightly caressing her face.

Rae was forced to look into his eyes. As their eyes met, strangely enough, she was shocked!

This was because, under this man's eyes, she saw pain and resignation. There were many emotions mixed up together, making her forget to react at their current situation for a while.

Reuben suddenly lowered his head and kissed Rae.

Rae’s body stiffened and she instantly tried to resist. However, Reuben pushed harder, as if he was gambling to win over her. He was full of determination and did not want to be rejected.

Rae knew she could not resist, otherwise Reuben would be even more terrifying.

So, she stopped resisting!

Sure enough, as soon as she stopped resisting, he also immediately became gentler.

After caressing her for a while, she still did not react.

“Rae!” Looking at the Rae who was unresponsive, Reuben shouted angrily. This bitch, she really knew how to made him mad. She was still the same as she was many years ago.

As her chin was fiercely held by Reuben, only then did Rae met her eyes with his angry gaze. There was a hint of provocation in her cold black eyes, did he think she would respond after he did something like this?

Then who did he think she was?

“Rae, how can you be like this? You never contacted me in these past seven years, your heart is so cruel! Is it that if I don't contact you, you won't look for me either? Is it true that you will never want to see me again in this life? If you hadn't become friends with Ophelia, if it wasn't for the YS Club case, would you want to remember me?” As he spoke word by word, a burning flame could be seen in his eyes. He stared at Rae's lips and bit them fiercely.

Blood started seeping out. He punished her in order to show her that he was someone not to be mess with!

It hurt and she was unable to tell what she felt as she tasted her blood.

She and Reuben confronted each other. She was still in the position after being thrown onto the bed by him. Only this time, he had softened his grip on her hands. However, he still continued and stop holding back.

It continued until she felt more and more blood dripping from her lips, she could no longer resist the urge to shout.

Outside the door, Mrs. Baxter's voice rang out.

“Rae, Reuben, it's time to eat!"

At that moment, Rae noticed Reuben’s body went stiff. So, she took this opportunity to immediately kick him away and roll over to avoid him.

Reuben also took the time to return to his senses. He then got out of bed and straightened his clothes.
