"Why are putting him behind bars?"

"Is that a way for you to take away all his assets?"

The crowd went into a frenzy, unable to handle the whole episode.

But Vikram went into panic mode. He had no idea that Raymond could be this ruthless. He had no idea that he would be unforgiving to this extent that he wouldn't hesitate to run over his own father.

He looked at Peter and found the same dread, swarming in his eyes as well and at that very moment, they both realized that it was time for them to flee. He could sense that he had been duped. He could sense that he was already trapped in his web, which was intricately woven by the one woman, who meant everything to him.

The feeling of betrayal and fear surrounded him and getting worried about his own future, Vikram fled the main hall along with Peter.

But as he left the hall he could see Akira standing hand in hand along with Dr. Nelson and as he crossed the door, he could sense nothing but a smile of victory and mockery spread all over her face.

And from the way he looked at her, Akira knew that Vikram was going to come back to take a bite. He was not one of those people who could sit all quiet after being rattled to this extent, but she was assured of the capabilities and planning of Raymond,

She knew that he would take care of Vikram as well, just that today was not the day for him to go behind the bars.

The news of his comeback has spread like wildfire.

Raymond knew that his comeback will throw many people away, but he knew that there was one family that would be affected the most. Her sister Katherine's. So before his sister could hear the news from the media, he had planned to tell all about it to her.

He had requested David, to record a small video of him at the main hall and he got his old mobile number activated and using that old number, David sent a text to Katherine's phone number.

It was 8:45 pm in the night, but Katherine was still busy handling some of the quotations for medical equipment for her hospital. Sitting just next to her, Shawn was helping Kate to finish her Geography project. They were the perfect example of a happy family.

Just when she was about to get up to get some water, her phone buzzed with a new WhatsApp message. But she decided to ignore it and went ahead to get some water. A few seconds later there was another message. Thinking that it would be something important, Shawn just decided to check the notification bar on her phone.

But the moment he did, he got the shock of his life.

"What happened Shawn?"

Kate asked all curiously as she saw him staring out at the phone as if some calamity had happened.

"Whose message is it?"

But she didn't get a reply from him.

'I wanted you to know that I am all fine before the world would tell you so.' - Ray

"Mum, dad is checking on your messages."

Kate screamed to inform Katherine as she had herself been reprimanded a couple of days back for sneaking into Katherine's phone.

Hearing Kate's shrill voice, Katherine came back rushing to the living room and saw a stupified version of Shawn, looking at her mobile phone.

"Shwan you are supposed to practice what you preach. What kind of example are ...."

But cutting her sentence mid-way, Shawn said,

"He is alive."

"Who is alive? What are you talking about?"

"I am talking about Ray. He is alive."

Katherine heard him and stood there all still for a moment.

"Uncle Ray is alive? Are you telling the truth dad? Are you serious?"

"Tell me Shawn, this is not a joke. Tell me that this is not a dream. I swear to God I will never forgive you if this is your idea of a joke."

Katherine asked while she tried to fight against her own tears.

Shawn came forward and hugged her and kate tightly and said,

"Miracles do happen and this is one of them and then he showed the video to both of them."

Unable to believe it, Katherine started playing that video, again and again, trying to figure out if it was any prank by someone.

When David didn't get any reply for a while, he sensed that either the family went in shock or denial. So he sent another message,

'If you still don't believe me then check the media. You will know I am telling you the truth.' - Ray

The moment the new message popped, Katherine's hands started shaking.

Shawn immediately rushed to switch on the television and switched to Fox News.
