A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 833 Had Wrong Feeling

Marcel could smell a light scent of women's fragrance in his nose, a kind of smell of flowery shower gel that carried the fragrance of spring, it was beautiful and triggered endless imagination.

If he wasn't in this situation now, he would have enjoyed it.

But, at this time he didn't have the chance to think about it more.

"Braeden, Braeden!" He heard the yelling of a woman, then there were the sounds of steps, then someone was saying this as if talking to herself, "Not back yet? That is not possible! Didn't we have a deal to meet tonight?"

As she said that, the woman seemed to have gone to the bedroom, and turned the light on.

Then, there was a sound from a different room as the woman came out, dialing a phone number. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She first had the speakerphone on, and the voice in the phone said, "The number you have dialed is turned off!"

The woman was getting impatient, "It's off!"

Then she threw herself on the couch, there was a voice out of the TV.

Rae and Marcel did not dare to move, was she the owner of this home?

Rae was surprised in her heart, ‘please don't stay in the living room all the time, how are we going to get out?’

She didn't know why Marcel wanted to investigate this case in this way, why they had to be sneaky? What if they were caught?

She was trembling a little and was immediately held by Marcel.

She stared at him scared, the light was good, and she could see the way he pressed his lips, his eyes showed a warning.

Rae got scared and looked down, she was nervous and shy and it made her face blush.

Through the shirt, Marcel could feel Rae's soft and warm body, her gentle hand was on his hips, there was a kind of magic that was waking the deep longing in him.

His dark eyes flashed, there was like a fire in them, showing his longing.

Marcel was now spreading out an aura of danger.

Rae felt it suddenly, and she backed off, but Marcel grabbed her again.

"Don't move!" His voice was hoarse, and very little so that only the two of them could hear, that hot breath was on her long neck, it was seductive, and tickling.

Her heart was beating loud.

Each heart beat was stronger than the one before.

Rae felt that it was about to jump out if she only opened her mouth.

She could feel how he changed, and she was even more nervous, "What if she doesn't leave?"

"Just stay quiet!" He said in a low voice at her ears, his warm breath was surrounding her ear, causing goosebumps on her beautiful neck.

Rae got confused and looked to the side, she looked right into his perfect and handsome face, her heart was even more anxious, and she looked to the side immediately.

Marcel's eyes trembled.

He lowered his head to look at her.

Her skin looked so smooth, her clear eyes filled with light, her lips were sexy, and she looked really withdrawing.

Marcel lowered his head, but just as he was about to kiss her lips, he suddenly stopped.

What was he doing?

Marcel looked to the side, and stopped himself.

Rae's body trembled, she had a feeling that Marcel was about to kiss her?

Did she think too much!

But it really looked like that!

Marcel suddenly pulled the curtains, it was a very small move, but Rae got so scared that she got closer to him.

Marcel only pulled the curtain lightly to see the people outside.

Rae was afraid that they might get caught, but Marcel was too brave, at least nobody noticed them.

Marcel saw the woman outside, she was watching TV, and his hands suddenly froze.

Rae noticed immediately what Marcel was doing, she asked in a low voice, "You know her?"

Marcel didn't speak, he took his hand off the curtain, then put it on Rae's shoulder, his eyes were showing her not to move.

Rae felt that she was living through hell, every second of it.

But, she could only endure it.

The two of them were facing each other, with their bodies turned to each other, Rae was sweating, but the person made no move of leaving, and they didn't even know who it was, it must be the owner of the house, otherwise, why would she have the keys.

From the TV they could hear voices talking about finances, most of it was news about the financial market analysis and stuff like that.

The woman was watching for about half an hour, she made two calls during this time, but it always said the phone was off, then the TV was turned off.

Then, the lights were turned off too, and Rae could hear the door was closed, and then it was quiet.

"She's gone!" Rae said in a low voice.

"Don't move!" Marcel pushed her down by the shoulder, "Wait a little longer!"

The two of them were there for a few minutes until the apartment was deadly quiet without a sound, only then Marcel pulled Rae out from behind the curtain.

Rae sat down on the ground, she was soaking wet, and she was exhausted.

Marcel lowered his head to look at Rae, then he took his phone to turn on the light, and went to the bedroom.

The light there was off, and he gathered what he needed from the room.

Rae sat on the ground for five whole minutes before she felt that she regained some of her strength.

She was skin on skin with Marcel for almost 40 minutes, this was such closeness that was exhausting for her.

But now was not the time to feel awkward, they had to solve this case, she took her own phone to turn on the light and look for Marcel.

With her light, she saw the house, it was a simple two-bedroom house, the living room wasn't very big, but because of the simple furniture, it looked very roomy.

Marcel was still in the bedroom.

Rae didn't forget to ask, "Who was that woman?"

Marcel paused shortly, then said calmly, "I don't know!"

Rae was a little stunned, for a moment, he didn't look like he "didn't know" her, he looked like he was surprised for a moment if he didn't know her, why would he have that expression?

With her surprise, Rae asked, "But you looked like you knew her!"

When he heard that, Marcel turned to look at her, his dark eyes squinted, with a hint of danger.

"It was such a nervous situation, and you still had the time to observe me?"

Rae suddenly blushed, thankfully it was dark and nobody could see.

They were so close back there, of course, she would see the expression he had on his face, especially at that moment when he was so nervous, she naturally had to observe to prevent that woman from noticing them breaking in for their case.

"Sir, please don't change the subject!"

Marcel stared at Rae's little face that looked so determined, and pulled on his lips.

"I just felt she looked familiar!" When he saw her, he was very nervous, but he had to observe to prevent having missed something.

That woman looked around 28 or 29 years of age, she didn't look like a teacher from here, instead, she looked rude.

When Marcel was looking at the woman from behind the curtain, she was lying on the couch, her legs on the coffee table, it didn't look like a decent woman's behavior.

"Who did she look like?" Rae was suddenly interested.

"Piper!"

"What?" Rae was shocked, "Why would she look like Piper? Was it her?"

"No!"

"Right, her voice wasn't like hers either."

"Let's find evidence first, then investigate when we get back!"

"Yes!"

Marcel put all his focus on finding evidence.

Rae was following him cautiously, the bedroom was about 20 sqm, there was a big bed, but no nightstands, the closet was built in the walls, at the window was a desk, other than that, there was nothing inside.

Rae went over to the table to look at the items and noticed a name list, she looked down and noticed that it was for Melody’s class.

Rae just flipped through casually and didn't notice anything suspicious.

Marcel already opened the closet looking through it.

He casually went into every corner of it but didn't touch anything of it.

Rae was still focused on the name list, she was looking at every single page, once in a while she could see a name with a tick on the side.

Marcel came over, "What are you looking at?"

"A name list!" Rae said.

She couldn't care about the awkwardness right now, she was trying to be professional.

"Anything wrong?" Marcel raised his brows.

Rae hesitated for a while, "It seems normal, but at the same time it seems weird somehow, but I didn't notice anything wrong, and yet intuitively I feel there is something wrong with it!"

"Your intuition is not evidence!" Marcel answered.

"I know!" She knew that what she said made him angry, she couldn't use her sense to solve a case, she needed evidence.

"But sometimes your feeling is very correct!" Marcel added.

Rae wanted to roll her eyes, why didn't he say that earlier, she thought she was about to get a lecture!

Marcel took it to look at it himself, because of the light, it was very hard for them to see anything, Rae took her phone to shine some light on it, Marcel saw and pressed his lips together.

Rae also looked at where Marcel's eyes were.

Melody's name was underlined five days ago, with a pencil.

Two other names were marked, Shayla and Alondra!

"Why are only those three names marked?" Rae asked.

Marcel's sight shook, and he turned a few other pages.

This time, his hand froze, his eyes were looking at a certain point, and Rae also leaned over to look.

She saw the date of 12 days ago in the book, this day was Monday, and there were two names on it, Alondra and Shayla!

Marcel looked at it for a little while, then kept flipping.

Rae also focused on the same.

Only these two times they saw something marked.

Then, Rae went through some other things, in the drawer of the desk, there was another name list this was for attendance, there were many names written tiny on it, what was hard to understand was that some used blue pens to sign, but usually it was black that was used for signing, this was what every college student knew.

There was a pattern in this book, almost every week, there were names that were signed in a different color, or it was underlined with a pencil.

On the other name list, the same happened, and it was a very regular pattern.

Rae didn't know what it meant, she just felt this might be useful.

Just as she was thinking that Marcel said in a deep voice, "Take this with us!"

"Yes!" Rae took it and put it in a vacuum bag quickly.

The two of them didn't have time to think about it, they had to take it now.

They kept looking in the bedroom a while longer, then Marcel and Rae went to the study.

There was a whole wall of bookshelves filled with books, it seemed the owner liked to read.

Rae didn't understand, "Why was the name book in the bedroom? The study is so big and so pretty, why would he keep it in the bedroom? Doesn't this kind of stuff belong to the office? And it was even in a bedroom drawer."

Rae's questions all made sense, but Marcel didn't answer.

They kept looking.
