A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 261 Engrossed

Leila was somewhat looking in their direction. Vincent was handsome and Meredith was pretty. They looked beautiful together. Meredith was 173 cm tall and her heels were three and a half inches high. The two of them looked like they were about the same height.

Meredith’s bodycon dress was swaying with the rhythm. She had a nice figure, her steps were light and elegant, and she seemed well-mannered. Dancing with Vincent, she seemed small in comparison even with her tall figure.

The song ended. Vincent held her hand and they went to sit down somewhere to rest.

Callum went up and talked to the DJ and then the DJ started to play rumba.

Callum walked back to Leila with a smile on his face. He didn’t say anything and held Leila’s hand gentlemanly as they walked into the dance hall. He placed his hand on Leila’s tiny waist and held her up. They then started to dance.

Soon, they were the centre of attention. Vincent and Meredith were good, but Callum and Leila were better.

Rumba was the dance of love. As the gentle and sensual music played, the female dancer’s movement exuded tenderness and at the same time showing off the body’s beautiful curves. The duo’s movement also showed flirtation and longing, it was alluring.

Leila didn’t think that Callum was such a good dancer. She was getting excited as she hadn’t danced in a long time. She felt as if all her troubles and worries were dissipating into the dance steps.

Leila relaxed her facial muscles and was getting into the music. She was dancing better and better.

Callum was in a good mood and his expressions were on point. Soon, they were on the same wavelength.

They were smiling as brightly as ever!

Everyone else was engrossed with the light footsteps and the dress swaying along with the rhythm.

The swirling dress and the radiant smile! The swivelling hemline looked like it was chasing after the cocktail attire!

The emotions conveyed in the music was at times calm and at times exciting because of their dance. It was as if everyone around them had forgotten all their sadness and worries for the time being! They were so elegant and happy! Their mood was swinging, moving and soaring along with the music…

Leila was enchanting and Callum was just as exciting. They were dancing gently and their movement lingering, as if they were a couple madly in love with each other. It was sensual and exciting.

Vincent stared at the dancing couple in the middle of the dance hall. There was a hint of awe hidden behind his stare. But shortly after, his gaze turned indifferent and cold again. He smirked and there was a fire in his eyes.

That Leila! How dare she danced and flirted right in front of him? Did she want to die?!

“Vincent! They’re good! They took all the attention away from us! So annoying!” said Meredith as she inched closer to Vincent’s ear. She said flightily, “Let’s do the cha-cha next!”

Vincent pulled his tie and grabbed a glass of wine. He gulped the alcohol and had a look of disdain on his face. How dare she provoked him in public like that, she had to be punished!

As Leila was dancing, she looked around for Vincent. As she met his blood-thirsty eyes, she raised her head and tried to provoke him.

She was trying to challenge him?!

Vincent was shocked.

He smirked and had a dangerous look in his eyes. He hid his gleam and clinked glasses elegantly with Meredith who had heavy make-up on. He quickly camouflaged the unhappiness that he was feeling and was trying his best to hide his real emotions from the people around him. “No, I’m tired!”

“Then let’s go rest in the room,” said Meredith as she put her arms around his neck. She stuck her red lips close to his ear lobes and whispered, “Vincent, I want you!”

“Maybe next time, I’m really tired,” said Vincent as he smiled flightily. He hugged her waist tightly.

They were flirting and seducing each other. Meredith wanted to give her everything to him, but it always ended like this. They were together for quite some time now. They flirted and kissed, but he never slept with her. She was unhappy about it.

Leila and Callum were dancing for the longest time.

Leila raised her leg in the end and everybody could see her black panties. Vincent frowned and placed the wine glass hardly on the bar table.

Damn that woman, how dare she exposed herself like that?!

His face turned sullen and he felt anger brewing in his chest. He snapped his finger and

Manager Billy immediately came over. Vincent whispered to him about something.

Manager Billy left and after a minute as Leila and Callum were about to reach the climax of their dance, the music suddenly stopped. The hall was filled with darkness, the electricity went out!

“Ahh!” a woman screamed.

“Why did the power go out?”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“Such bad timing! Such a wet blanket, it was getting to a good point!”

“Ahh!” Leila suddenly yelled.

Callum quickly said, “Leila, it’s okay. I’m here!”

“Everyone, I apologize. Please stay where you are and don’t move. We checked the breaker and realized that the fuse was blown. It will be fixed in a jiffy!” yelled Manager Billy.

Leila stood where she was, but she felt someone walking towards her. As she was in a daze, her arm was grasped by someone. Before she could say anything, she was already pulled out of the hall, tumbling and fumbling.

The person was walking without an issue in the dark. They didn’t walk into anyone.

The light was back when she realized that they were in the hallway.

Leila then found out that the person holding her arm was Vincent.

“Vincent, it was you?!” She was surprised and puzzled. She didn’t think that it was him. He brought her to a room next to the hall. He closed the door, and they were alone and isolated from the outside world.

“Who were you expecting?” said Vincent resentfully. His eyes turned darker and he smirked, “Why? Do you still want to dance? Did you feel good sticking so close to that man? You think you looked good?”

Leila pursed her lips. She was uncomfortable at his derision.

He grinned and said in a deep voice, “I think you haven’t learned your lesson. Why do you try to anger me so much?”

He took out a cigarette and lit it. He huffed and puffed and squinted his eyes as he locked his gaze at her like an eagle hunting its prey. “Tell me, why did you provoke me on purpose? What was your goal?

Are you craving for my attention?”

Leila’s eyes were wide open. Oh, he could tell. Well, she was provoking him. She was exasperated. Why could he dance with another woman and do anything he wanted, but she couldn’t and had to obey his every word? “Well, yes! I was provoking you, but not because I wanted your attention. I just wanted to tell you that I’m a human with emotions as well. And you better treat me like one!”

“Leila, who do you think you are? Do you really think that you are the mayor’s precious daughter? Did you know that your father was only just using you?” he said as he sneered. Vincent reached out his free hand and pulled Leila into his arms. He inched his face closer to hers and had a cold expression on his face. He puffed out some smoke,

Leila was prepared and she held her breath. She wasn’t choked by the smoke, but she was surprised at what Vincent just said, “What did you say?”

He inhaled his cigarette again and kissed her as she opened her mouth. Though he wasn’t kissing her, he puffed the smoke into her mouth.

Leila didn’t think that he was such a bastard. She coughed violently and her eyes turned red, “You asshole!”

“So what?” He arched his brow and said impolitely. “I said, your father is just using you!”

Leila was dancing vigorously just now and didn’t have much strength left. She couldn’t move away from his hand that was holding her waist tightly. She gave up, but she glared at him stubbornly with an indifferent look in her eyes. She wasn’t going to give in to him and she was adamant about it. But she also felt conflicted. She bit her lips and said tenaciously, “No need to drive a wedge between me and my dad. It’s useless!”

“Great, there’s finally hatred in your eyes.” He tightened his grip on her waist as if he was going to break it in half. He smiled coldly and inched closer to her cheek, he muttered in a wintry and soft voice, “How does hatred feel? My Leila, my bitch. Will you die if you don’t have a man by your side?”

His cold gaze was stabbing her heart like a sharp knife. Leila’s breathing hastened, but she suddenly smiled provocatively and coldly as she said, “Well, yeah! I’m a bitch and I need my man. So what of it?”

“You wench!” She was successful at adding oil to his flame. He grabbed her chin so hard as if he was going to break her bones.

But this time, as he met her eyes, a strong will could be seen. She wouldn’t surrender any more. His acrimony intensified and he kissed her on her tightly pursed lips.

His kisses were rough and painful, Leila was trying hard to breathe.

She couldn’t stop him and win against his strength, she was forcefully kissed. Leila then bit down hard and blood started dripping from Vincent’s lips.

Fuck! It was the second time today, and how dare she bit him!

“Do you want to die?” Vincent yelped angrily. The frigid voice echoed in the quiet room. He didn’t wipe off the blood and proceeded to move his hands down her dress. He lifted her dress and stripped off her panties.

“You like to cheat? I’ll let you cheat!!”

Vincent pressed the meek Leila against the wall. He had a cold look in his eyes that was camouflaging his tiredness. He hadn’t done it in a week and his lust quickly penetrated Leila.

Leila was frowning in pain with the sudden penetration. She felt as if she was torn apart and her face blanched.

“Vincent, I fucking hate you!”

“Oh really?” he said as he pressed harder against her back, stopping her from struggling. He smiled faintly and indifferently as he said, “Hate me then!”

He pushed against her and forcefully turned her chin towards him. Their eyes met and the hatred in Leila’s eyes made Vincent shivered. But the annoyance that he was feeling and was wildly taking over his other emotions.

It hurt!

Leila’s body tensed up from being nervous and Vincent couldn’t move because she was so tight. She was in so much pain, she yelled and struggled, “It hurts! It fucking hurts! Argh!”
