"Deal with Sebastian Walker?"

"Yes"

"The, Sebastian Walker?"

Akira stayed silent for a while and then said,

"Yes"

"Have you gone out of your mind Akira? Have you forgotten that the blade is still on top of your head?"

"Yes, that's the reason why I want to lift that blade hanging over my head and this is the perfect weapon to have that sword removed."

"You are underestimating him Akira."

"I am not. Just think about it. We have this video as leverage against him. We can use it to get the things in the way we want. I can coerce him to go away from our lives and Raymond and I can have a happily ever after that we have always dreamt of."

"Akira, that man is capable of taking us down now in seconds. The moment you even try to strike a deal, he will take you down. He is the most ruthless man on this planet who will do anything, mind you anything to keep Raymond safe from you. I don't know why he thinks you are a danger to him. But I know this for sure that this will do more harm to you than him."

Getting all impatient Akira asked,

"Then what do I do? How do I get rid of him? How do I have a normal life? Like other people have. Like how their loved ones can meet them whenever they want. Like two people who are engaged get busy planning their wedding yet here I am running for Tango classes just to meet him."

"Akira, relax, relax. Listen to me as I say this. I hate that man as much as you do, but I know him better than you do. So please let Raymond take care of him. Just trust me this once Akira."

"Trust you? Like the way, I trusted you a year and a half ago? You have always been Sebastian's man David. I trust you everything that I have because Raymond does and that's all that I got. I am hanging on a thread here David. Either you pull me up or cut me loose."

Saying that with tears in her eyes Akira disconnected the call.

Standing there all shocked David couldn't believe what he heard. But he understood it clearly that she was hurt and feeling all wrecked. had he been at her position, probably he wouldn't have trusted himself either, but under the current circumstances, he had no way other than hiding the master plan of Raymond from Akira so that everything was done as per their plan even though it meant the pain to prolong for Akira.

She ran to the desk in her room and took the Ganapati Idol statue in her hand and said,

"I am sorry that I lost faith in you. I am sorry that I never returned to you. But this time, I need your help. I need your help to protect him. Because this time he is going against someone so big that it could destroy him. I lost him once, and I cannot lose him again."

She wiped her tears and then said her silent prayers and them came back to her bed when she got a call from David.

"Hello"

"Hello David"

"What has he sorted out David?"

"I cannot disclose about those things to you right now. But I am just telling you this. We will drag him under the law. We will cripple him and seize his assets without which he won't be The Sebastian Walker anymore. So I beg of you to not to do anything reckless."

"Raymond will send his father behind the bars?"

"Yes, for your sake Akira. So if you think his heart isn't strong enough to take what is there in this pen drive, then you are wrong. You are very very wrong."

Unable to decide what to do or to say, Akira disconnected the call.

The thought of her being the reason why Raymond was about to take such drastic measures, was something that she wasn't able to handle.

After finishing the call, David plugged in the drive and started watching the video and finishing which his heart rate spiked.

He immediately called up Akira again.
