Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

At this moment, a small yacht was sailing away from the pier and out to the sea. Nigel was steering the

yacht himself since he had plenty of experience. On the other hand, Queenie stood beside him. It was

her first experience going out to sea, so her heart was racing in her chest. She kept a tight grip on his

shirt and clung to the railing nearby anxiously, not daring to release her grip.

“Come here. I’ll teach you.” He slowed the yacht down and pulled her over to the steering wheel. Then,

he circled her with both arms around the sides of her waist and pressed his strong chest firmly against

her back.

The sudden intimacy made her heart race again. At the same time, she couldn’t help feeling

exhilarated. Sure enough, all her worries from before had vanished into nothing. Her heart was

currently overflowing with joy and excitement.

“Wow! I know how to steer the yacht now!” After driving the yacht for a few minutes, she suddenly

exclaimed in pure delight.

His gaze landed on her face. The sea breeze toyed with her long hair, revealing her delicate face. Her

appearance was absolutely sweet and alluring.

Seeing how happy she was, he couldn’t help feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart. Moreover,

the smile on her face made the corners of his mouth lift in response. They stopped the yacht in the

middle of the calm sea and sat on the deck to stare up at the starry sky above them, admiring the full

moon and boundless sea stretching out before them.

Queenie’s depressed mood from before was completely gone. Sitting here in the middle of the sea, she

was in very high spirits. There was nothing that could disrupt her wonderful mood at the moment.

A small wave came, causing her to jump in fright and throw herself into the arms of the man beside her.

Nigel was caught unprepared, so he was pinned to the deck by her weight. They were so close that



their faces were almost touching.

Taken aback by the close distance, she stiffened and tried to pull away. However, an arm suddenly

snaked around her waist and prevented her from moving. “Since you’ve already gone to the trouble of

pushing me down, I’m not letting you leave just like that.”

Her complexion turned beet red at those words. How could I dare to pin him down?! Everything

happened by accident!

The starlight and moonlight above their heads illuminated the world with a silvery light. The light from

the yacht also shrouded around them. The man’s handsome face was the preference of most women—

masculine yet delicate. In particular, the lines of his perfect jawline were sharper than her entire life’s

plan.

All of a sudden, his Adam’s Apple rolled slightly as though he was swallowing nervously. She blushed

and tried to get off him, but a palm suddenly pressed down on the back of her head at this moment.

“Uh…” She was completely caught unprepared, and her lips voluntarily pressed against his thin lips.

A wicked smile flickered in his eyes, and the kiss deepened. She was kissed so deeply that she

couldn’t breathe, and her body became a little numb and weak as a result. At this moment, she no

longer dared to loosen her grip on him and could only hug him tightly around the waist.

“Are you scared?” He could sense her fear. It had gotten late, and the waves had indeed gotten a little

rougher.

Lying in his arms, Queenie nodded in response. It was true that she felt rather scared.

“Let’s return!” Nigel pulled her back into the cabin and drove back toward the hotel’s pier.



As soon as her feet touched solid ground, she felt extremely relieved. Sure enough, I’m better suited to

living on land!

At this moment, her phone rang with the sound of a message coming in. She picked up her phone and

saw that it was a message from Bonnie.

‘Queenie, I just realized that one of the pieces of jewelry that Leslie gave you is missing. It’s nowhere to

be found. I suspect that it was most likely stolen by the servants, so I asked our parents to report the

theft to the police.’

When she finished reading the message, she immediately felt very annoyed. The servants in their

house had been serving them for at least five to six years and would never take anything that did not

belong to them. Therefore, she was certain that Bonnie had taken this missing piece of jewelry and

wrongly accused one of the servants of the theft.

‘What jewelry? Do you have evidence that the servants were the ones who took the jewelry?’ She

quickly replied to the message.

‘In any case, it’s missing. Somebody must have taken the jewelry. You can’t be suspecting somebody

from our family, right? I suspect that Courtney took the jewelry. I heard her daughter is about to enter

college. I’m sure she doesn’t have the money to pay the tuition fees!’ Bonnie replied with another

message.

Queenie was furious. Is it because Courtney had refused to testify for Bonnie previously? Is that why

she is now accusing Courtney of theft!?

‘Don’t report this incident to the police yet. Wait until I get home tomorrow.’ She did not wish for

Courtney to be wrongfully accused, so she decided to go home tomorrow and deal with this matter.
