Can you mend my broken heart?

Chapter 434 - All For You, Raymond



"I am not making a sorry face."

"You know it well that it was not what I asked."

Dr. Nelson asked and looked at her intently and then said again,

"Your face looked all smug like you are soon going to make someone else feel all sorry."

Akira looked at Dr. Nelson and then said,

"Yes... Tomorrow at my press conference, I am going to make someone go all bankrupt."

Dr. Nelson didn't say anything for a moment. He was a nobody, who had no right to interfere in her personal life, her decisions or her course of action. So he looked at her and said,

"Ok. Just stay safe and ... "

"And?"

"In case you are in any trouble, then you can always count on me. As a friend."

Dr. Nelson added it to the end of his sentence.

Soon they had reached Dr. Nelson's hospital and Akira dropped him off and went back to the office.

The moment she stepped inside the lift, she saw David coming from Upper Ground Floor.

"Hi, David !!!"

"Were you with Raymond in his meeting."

"Yes, but don't worry. everything has been set for the press report tomorrow. And two channels will be relaying you live as well. So you better prepare what you are going to say."

"I see. I thought it was just going to be an announcement for the press."

David smiled as they arrived on the first floor and said,

"You are no more just Akira. You are The Akira Peyton. When you speak, people want to listen to you."

Akira smiled looking at David and then said,

"But a part of me is really feeling guilty for doing all this."

"What is wrong Akira?" 

David asked, feeling all concerned.

"The thing is, I have to do all this to Vikram when his dad is just recovering from major surgery."

"So?"

"I mean, I am not concerned about Vikram. I am just worried if his father's condition will deteriorate after seeing the plight of his kid."

David looked at her for a moment and then said,

"I understand your reasons and I totally understand the state of your mind. But the thing is, you cannot stray Akira. Not now."

"I know David. I know that everything is important. Every single step is paramount for Raymond to succeed, but just that the cost involved is way too high. Hope at the end of everything, we are stranded all alone."

"Nothing like that will happen Akira. Trust on Raymond's discretion and have faith in yourself. That's all I would like to say."

"Sure !!!"

Akira said and entered into her cabin.

She picked up the file of project Medusa and gave it a good read again and started scribbling her lines on a piece of paper.

She wrote and discarded and repeated that a couple of times until her final draft was ready. She wanted to kill Vikram, but she wanted to kill him kindly and her lines were the perfect recipe of this wishful murder.

She gave a final look at her lines and then took out the contract which she had signed with Vikram. She read the loophole clauses again and again just to console herself that there was no way for Vikram to escape. The contract was ironclad, fail-proof.

Taking a deep breath, she kept everything back into their respective place holders and removed her hoodie and shoes and switched back to her corporate attire as she was ready to go home now.

But before she left for her house, she opened her drawer and opened an envelope. She looked at the contents inside the envelope and then muttered,

"All for you Raymond. All for you."
