Can You Mend My Broken Heart?-Chapter 428: At the graveyard
428 At the graveyard
He was kneeling in front of his mother' grave.
His fist was all clenched up and there were endless tears in his eyes. Unable to understand what all his mother had to suffer because of his demonic father, a petrified and disgusted Raymond was cursing himself endlessly for not being able to help her mother out.
She suffered in silence and when she couldn't take it anymore, she decided to leave silently.
His father was a monster, and he knew it. But he had no idea that his insanity ran this deep. He couldn't fathom the cruelties that his mother had to bear. She shielded them well, both him and Katherine. Not even once she had said anything bad about their father to any one of them.
His heart was all vengeful now.
He wanted to avenge the death of his mother.
He wanted to settle the debt fair and square, for this man had troubled everyone enough.
Calming his heart which was brimming with vengeance, he sat there for a couple of more minutes before returning back to his car.
Once seated inside, he took a deep breath and called up David.
"Hello, Raymond."
"Hello, David."
"What happened? You don't sound well."
"It's nothing. Can you call up Mr. Baker for me? I need to have an appointment with him today."
"Ok, but... But didn't we plan to meet him after we had all the necessary papers?"
"We did, but I can't take this delay anymore."
"Raymond, I hope that you have all the things planned out. We have just this one shot against him."
"I know. I would like to break the news tomorrow as its Friday. It would be nice if I can attend my sister's Hospital inauguration, I can't hide behind this facade anymore now."
"Think about it carefully Raymond."
"Oh yes, I have. I will make him fall in his own trap. We have multiple proofs against him right now."
"Multiple proofs?"
"I think you must be aware of the video taken by Dr. Nelson."
Hearing that line David was shocked for a moment. He was unable to comprehend what his condition was after seeing that video. Probably all this plan to expedite the mission was an outcome of that video.
But he couldn't blame him for it.
Had it been anyone else, they would have also resorted to the same.
Sensing the silence from David's side, Raymond said, "It's ok David. I know it all. I know you all hid it from me to protect me. But I don't need any protection now. I need your support to bring him down for ance and for all. All this time he has been dictating my life in the way he wanted to. But this has to end now."
"I will always have your back Raymond and you know that. Don't worry. I will set the appointment. You don't have to worry about it."
"Thanks, David."
"But where are you right now. Where should I ask him to meet you?"
"Ask him to come to your place and I will be there in the evening."Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click FreeWebNovel.Com for visiting.
"Sure"
After Raymond disconnected the call, he decided to go to the place where he knew for sure, that she would have gone to seek solace at that moment.

After leaving Dr. Nelson's hospital, Akira went to the office. No matter how battered her condition was, she decided to go back as the launch of project MEDUSA couldn't be avoided. She couldn't jeopardize Raymond's dream at any cost.
So after checking the current status and deciding on the task list, she went back to her office room. She checked her phone, but there was no reply from him. So she dropped in another desperate message to Raymond, asking about his whereabouts. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂
But she was getting all restless and edgy. No matter how hard she tried to focus on her work, she just couldn't. She was constantly haunted by the face of Raymond, which was filled with disgust and pain after seeing that video.
So getting all restless, she went up to the terrace. The only place where even though she stood alone, she always found comfort.
The wind was caressing her hair, but her soul stood there all ripped, all hurt, cursing itself for her incompetence, for not being able to shield him from all the pain.
She was trying hard to do everything right, but somehow she was failing and this whole thought was bringing her down. The weight on her chest was increasing exponentially and then suddenly looking up into the sky she mumbled,
"Can you please turn back the time. Please, God !!! Just for this once."
And as if her prayers were heard, she was soon embraced by his hands around her waist.
She was surprised at first, but in a second she recognized his touch and his smell. 𝗳𝐫𝘦e𝘸𝗲𝚋𝓃𝚘v𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝒐m
He leaned in close and softly whispered into her ears,
"I am ok."
