Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Despite the dejection in Zacharias’ heart, he wouldn't be holding his current
position if he was a person who would give up easily. Putting on an
understanding smile, he released her. “No rush. You'll need time to know me
better.”
Stunned, Shirley thought, Any man who has been rejected on the spot will be a
little upset, but this man appears unexpectedly calm!
“I've given the watch to you. If you don't like it, you can give it to someone else or
sell it. Do whatever you want with it,” he commented. With that, he picked up his
cell phone and started upstairs.
Shirley took off the watch from her wrist and went after him, grabbing his hand. “I
don’t want it. Please take it back.”
In reply, he merely turned back at her and said kindly, “The bin is right there.”
Annoyed, she thought, How can he tell me to throw such an expensive gift away?
Ignoring her, Zacharias headed for the staircase, leaving Shirley behind with a
woman's watch in her hand and at a loss for what to do. Every word he just said
had thrown her heart into a mess, and she decided not to think about anything
and went upstairs.
Around midnight, while Shirley was in a daze in her sleep, she heard noises from
the staircase outside. Alert as she was, she sprang up and walked nimbly to the
door. Softly, she opened the door and tiptoed out in her pajamas.
Rapidly, she jogged to the foyer and heard sounds coming from downstairs. Step
by step, she went down the staircase. When she saw the man standing next to
the wine cabinet, a huge sigh of relief escaped her lips. Why is this guy
wandering around instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?
Meanwhile, Zacharias was opening a bottle of wine. Turning his head, he saw the
girl coming downstairs in her pajamas and cordially invited, “Would you like a
drink?”
“It's already so late. Aren't you going to bed?” Shirley asked.
“I can't sleep,” he replied. Nobody can sleep soundly after having their
confession rejected. After Zacharias returned to his room earlier, he thought
about his situation so much that he ended up not being able to sleep.
Pacing over to his side, Shirley saw that he had prepared two wine glasses and
turned him down. “I'm not drinking.”
Still, he insisted on pouring half a glass for her. Placing down his glass, he picked
up the other one and passed it to her. “It's my birthday today. Have a drink with
me for my sake.”
“It's already midnight, so your birthday is over, no?" Shirley corrected him.
From Zacharias’ unruly hair, it was clear that the man had slept a little before.
Presently, he said in an authoritative tone, “Please have a drink with me.
Shirley took the glass from him, and he clinked his glass against hers before
throwing his head back and taking a huge gulp. Then, he fixed his deep, dark
eyes on her, taking in every detail of her face.
Her long hair framed her face, which was clear and bright like a pearl, radiating a
pearly-white glow. She was stunning and gorgeous, filling his mind with
imagination.
“You still can't forget Cole?” Zacharias asked out of the blue.
Shirley's brows knitted together for a second. This is odd. Ever since I last saw
Cole the other day, it seems like he’s out of my mind, and my liking for him has
somehow disappeared without me realizing it.
“I've been thinking, if I had met you a little earlier before Cole did, would we have
a chance at it?” A wry smile touched his lips.
His words caught Shirley by surprise. As she only had a short relationship before,
her knowledge of romantic love was still very shallow. To her, loving someone
was a highly sacred matter.
“It's late. Go to bed after having one drink,” she said. Because she was wearing
nothing under her pajamas, it was a little awkward for her to face this man right
now.
