Can You Mend My Broken Heart? Chapter 474 Benjamin Walker

All worried, Raymond asked,

“What happened? Who was that on the phone?”

But Katherine didn’t say a word. She slowly started to tighten her grip around the fabric of the sofa. 

“What happened Kat?”

Asked Shawn and got her a glass of water.

She looked up at Shawn, paused for a while and then said,

“Everything is finished. All my dreams are finished. It’s all gone now.”

Getting all confused and restless, Raymond asked,

“What is finish Kat?”

“My dream, my future plans, everything depended on this hospital. Tomorrow was supposed to be the inauguration of my hospital. But now the landowner has refused to lease that piece of land. Apparently the contract that I have signed, is invalid.”

Unable to understand what she was saying, Shawn asked.

“How can a deal be made invalid which was valid just a couple of hours back? let me talk to him or maybe we can get some lawyers to sort it all out. Don’t panic, we can figure it all out.”

Saying that Shawn looked at Raymond, unable to understand how to cope up with all this. But before anyone could say anything more, Akira’s voice echoed in the room,

“It’s all because of Vikram.”

“What are you saying?”

“I know it for sure. I am so sorry Katherine for trusting that man. I thought he was overall this when he said that he honestly wanted to help. For a moment I felt that he wanted to set the score right, by doing something good for you. I thought that he was genuinely trying to help us.”

Saying that Akira held her head in her palm. Lines of worry started getting etched on her temple.

“So that land that was leased to Katherine, belongs to Vikram?”

“Well it’s not Vikram’s land but it’s one of his working partners.”

Akira said and looked at Raymond.

“And I think after all that had happened today, he is not going to bend.”

Saying that Raymond got up and started pacing up and down the room. 

As the environment of the room was getting more and more tensed, Shawn decided to pick up Kate and took her to his room to put her to sleep.

“What to do Raymond?”

Akira asked with plight in her voice. For a moment she had felt that everything was falling into place and then in the other, Vikram came and disrupted the entire sanctity. She was very well aware of his capabilities and was pretty sure that he would now make the ends of the world meet to take revenge. But the most unfortunate part of this whole episode was that the recipient of his wrath was Katherine, who had nothing to do with the whole scenario.

[Inside the state reserve penetentiary]

He turned to look towards the source of the sound and found that a man was approaching his cell, along with a guard.

“You have got exactly fifteen minutes.”

Saying that the guard left.

Sebastian stood up and walked towards the cell entrance and saw an apologetic face standing outside.

“You have come to see my plight.”

Sebastian said and chuckled.

“No, Mr. Sebastian. I have no intent to do any of that.”

“Then what is your intent? I trusted you more than anything else in the world. Trusted you with everything. My empire, my life, and even my family. But what did I get in return?”

His face fell and for a moment he had no idea what to reply to his accusations.

He knew that whatever he did was a rightful decision, but there was no way in which he could explain this man the rationale behind his choice and his actions.

So taking a deep breath he said,

“Can I explain?”

“Explain?”

“What is there to explain right now?”

Sebastian asked sarcastically and then turned his face away to look towards the wall.

Then, taking a deep breath, he asked,

“Why David why? Why did you do this? You know that everything that I ever did was for the betterment of my son. I did everything wrong so that I could set his life right. Then why after all this you ruined everything?”

David hung his head low and then said,

“I just did what I thought was better for Raymond’s future. I don’t know what you have against that girl, but Akira is the best fit for him. He will stay forever happy with her. You will see it. Maybe once you see that, you will realize that I took the right decision.”

Hearing his words, suddenly Sebastian’s expressions changed.

He turned towards David and said,

“Happy? My son can never stay happy with her. Just because some of the things are hidden in the dark, everything is looking all peaceful and calm like an ocean to you David. But let me tell you, she will bring nothing but clouds of darkness into my son’s life. She will destroy him one day David. She will destroy him.”

Saying that Sebastian slumped on the floor.

Unable to understand what Sebastian meant, David asked,

“You always tell this Mr. Sebastian and I guess you think so because she belongs to a normal family. But she is not with Raymond for the money. She was never with him because he was a Walker.”

Sebastian took a deep breath and said,

“You think so because she doesn’t know about Benjamin Walker.”
