Can You Mend My Broken Heart? Chapter 144 Her was broken, his was shattered

“Fuck Fuck Fuck !!!”

“No way !!!”

Screamed David after finding out that the car belonged to Vikram Shah.

“Vikram Shah”

“How could he?”, David still couldn’t believe that Vikram was behind all this.

He sank in the chair and tried to get a hold of himself.

He started connecting the dots and suddenly it all started making sense to him.

“Only an influential person like Vikram could get Anthony out on bail and hide his footprints”.

“Only he could transfer such a huge amount of money into Scarlett’s account”.

“Only he could have the reach to hire people who can wipe out surveillance tapes and hack into Raymond’s phone”.

“Oh, God !!!”

He felt like his head was about to burst.

He immediately took his phone and dialed up Raymond’s number. This couldn’t wait.

“Hello”.

“Hello, Mr. Raymond. I think I have figured out the mastermind behind all this”, David said.

“What? Who is he?”, asked Raymond in surprise.

“It’s Vikram”.

“What? No way !!!”, Raymond almost screamed in disbelief.

“Yes, it is like that Mr. Raymond. My men followed Scarlett to a cafe shop, but before they could enter, the owner closed the shop, but luckily there was only one car outside the shop and there are no marks for guessing whose car it was?”, David said and explained the whole scenario to Raymond.

Raymond took a deep breath and tried to reflect.

“But why will he do such a thing? I mean why will he be after my life and Akira’s?”, no matter how bad he wanted to understand, he just couldn’t.

“Well if I am not wrong then Mr. Shah definitely is after you maybe because of the feeling he has harbored in his heart for Akira, he is doing all this to separate you guys out?”, David suggested.

“It cannot be. They are family friends since childhood days. I guess he will never do anything to hurt her. He is quite possessive about her and cares a lot about her”, Raymond retorted back.

“Precisely my point Mr. Raymond”, David reflected Raymond’s points back at him.

Raymond thought for a while and then said,

“Get your men back immediately. If he has that sort of a reach, then definitely there will be his men around that place. I don’t want him to suspect that we know”, Raymonds said and started thinking.

“And then what? Do we do nothing? We let him loose like that?”, David asked in surprise.

“Nothing will be the end of what I am going to do next with him. If he has tried to ruin my life, then I am going to ruin his, right under his nose”, Raymond said and his fists got clenched in anger and the rage within him started spreading inside his body like fire.

“Come to my office, I have a plan in mind”, Raymond said and was about to keep the call when David interrupted.

“One more thing!!! What if we anger him and he cuts off the funding to our project?”, David asked all concerned.

“Don’t worry, we won’t be the ones to anger him”, Raymond said and a smile crept on his face, as in his head, he had already staged the masterplan.

“So how are we going to reveal his face?”, David asked all eagerly.

“We need an insider who can get us actual proof of the whole thing. So first maybe we can check with the agency which provides housekeeping service at his place and then place a mole inside, who can be our eyes and ears”, Raymond said and mentally started charting out the plan.

“That can be worked out”, David said and immediately started searching on his laptop.

“I got it. Leave that to me”, David said.

“Fine then, I will get going. I need to set-up the reverse plan”, Raymonds said.

“Reverse plan?”, asked David

“Yeah, they used my baby as my weak point, and now I am going to use it as my strongest point”, Raymond said and then disconnected the call.

Now it was his turn to run his pawns. It was time that he safeguarded his queen rather than making her taking the bullets. He knew that Akira trusted Vikram more than anyone else in the world, so he needed more concrete proof and time to be able to make her understand. But more than that he was worried about how she would take it? After all, he was his best friend.

He went back to his seat and placed the headset on, to have an idea of what she was doing. He could hear the sound of her fingers tapping onto the keys of a laptop. Anxiously he opened her blog page after mirroring his IP access.

She was online and had just posted a reply,

“How can you be so sure, that I shattered his heart?” – @Akira

Raymond thought for a moment and then replied back,

“Maybe that’s because you are hurting more not because you are hurt, you are hurting because you have hurt him” – @RodeoMaverick

He heard her sigh after reading his message and then there was an acute silence.

A few seconds later, he heard her typing again.

“But what if, I broke his heart so that someone else could put it back together?” – @Akira

“How are you sure that he wants his heart mended by someone else?” – @RodeoMaverick

“Looks like you have experience in mending a lot of hearts” – @Akira

“No, I don’t. I just want to mend that one heart which has shattered mine” – @RodeoMaverick

Akira read that message and kept staring at the screen for quite some time. She didn’t know who was this person, but somehow his words always soothed her. And she always had a weird feeling about him, like he was always there, omnipresent around her.

She mumbled,

“Who are you?”

“Why do I feel that it’s you? I am going crazy out here. What have you done with me, Raymond?”

He heard her mumble and smiled.

“Are you thinking about him?” @RodeoMaverick

“No way”, Akira screamed after reading his reply.

Then she replied back.

“Whose heart it is that you want to mend? Who broke your heart?” – @Akira

“Someone very special and very close to my heart. But I guess she probably has no idea how much I love her. Probably she doesn’t even know that no matter how much she tries to pull herself away from me, I will pull her back ten times stronger. Probably she doesn’t even know that I know her heart better than she does” – @RodeoMaverick

Akira read the message and her own heart started beating fast. Like she had just read a confession. She tugged onto the pendant that Raymond had given her and looked at it for some time and then she whispered into it.

“Can you mend my broken heart?”
