Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 477: He is your blood

477 He is your blood

There was a hint of anger in Raymond's statement. He was trying hard to not to let his anger rule over him.

Drooping her eyes low Akira said,

"I had it for quite some time. But I was just waiting for the right moment to release it. His dad just operated recently and I already had this plan. So didn't feel like taking leverage of it. I thought I should just give him a chance to prove himself."

"What does it say?"

Saying that Katherine took that letter from Raymond's hand.

"What transaction is this?"

Akira turned towards Katherine and said,

"Vikram drew money from the company fund to pay for the lease, which is technically illegal. I thought, he will just replace it later from his personal account, so I didn't probe much about it. After all, we were just worried about the land."

"And now?"

"And now I can use it to threaten him. If the board of directors from his company will notice the transaction, they might not like it. It will add up to the fact that he has already locked a huge chunk of money in a project in my company, which is not going to start fro another 1-2 years."

"So you think you have got him?"

Raymond asked in an unusual tone.

"I can at least try."

"Oh, come on Akira. When will you understand that this man can go even lower than what you can imagine? You show him this and then he will be ready with another dirty trick. Probably he will play the emotion card on you."

Hearing him say those words, Akira fell silent for a while. For a moment it felt like he was accusing her of this current situation. But that was all that she could think of right now. That was all that she had in her armoury and she was ready to give it all for the sake of Katherine.

"Shall I call the media and cancel the inauguration coverage?"

Shawn came down and asked.

"You guys don't worry about it. Let me handle it."

Saying that Raymond picked up his phone to call David.

-----

Before Conrad could see him, David hid strategically behind a pillar. A few seconds later Conrad walked past him and reached the cell where Sebastian was present.

He saw his brother sitting in a corner. His confidence, his aura, everything reduced to dust because of own blood.

"Sebastian !!!"

"Conrad !!! Why you are here? Did anyone see you coming?"

"Seriously? At this point in time, you are concerned about this?"

"Just answer me, Conrad."

"No, only the policemen."

"Did David see you by any chance? He left a few minutes back."

"Then he must have left the premises. I didn't see him inside."

Hearing that Sebastian took a deep breath of relief.

Sebastian took a deep breath again and then looking into the eyes of his brother he said,

"I failed brother. I failed."

And suddenly David felt the earth beneath him sink. Just the thought of Sebastian Walker crying gave him chills. He was now determined to figure out what went wrong.

"How did he get to know? Who told him? What all does he know? Does he remember...?"

Saying that Conrad went silent.

"I don't know how he got to know about it, but I am pretty sure he knows only the surface. But I know him. He will not rest till he gets to the core of it, Conrad. I am not sure what can I do now. There was just one man, whom I trusted and I thought that he would help me out, but turned out he was more loyal to him than me."

"Are you talking about David?"

"Yes. He was my last hope. But even he turned his back."

"Does he know about the.... About everything?"

"No, I couldn't risk it, Conrad. Anything could go wrong with Raymond if he remembers about that night. That night that finished us all."

"Maybe that's where you went wrong Sebastian. Maybe you should have told David. If he is that loyal and that good of a friend of Raymond, then he would have understood. He would have kept our cover safe."

"I have already risked enough. I cannot let one more person be a part of it."

"We are already inside the landmine. So it doesn't hurt to get some legs extra. If it has to go off, it will go off Sebastian. There is nothing that you can do about it. So I guess before he gets to know about everything from someone else, it's better that I tell him about it by myself."

"Have you lost it, Conrad? Tell him everything? Then what will happen when he slowly remembers everything and starts to hate himself. Will you be able to handle him? Will be able to handle all the anger that will brew inside his heart? But above all, what will happen when Akira will get to know about you? She may forgive you, but she will never forgive my son. I know that woman. She is righteous. Even under the worst of the circumstances, she will not bend her morals. She will rip her own heart and then rip the heart of my son."

"You think she is that capable? Do you think the fire of revenge will burn all the love that she had in her heart for him?"

"Everything Conrad everything. I have seen the amount of love that she has for my Son. And I know how mad is my son for her. You don't know what madness can do."

"Maybe you are over-speculating Sebastian."

"Am I? Are you forgetting the extent to which you went for the sake of love? He is your blood, Conrad. His love is way ahead of yours."
