Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

442 Digging up the dirt - 1

Raymond looked at Dr. Nelson all quizzically.

He was so not expecting him to give this as a solution. He was expecting him to write out a prescription for new pills and stuff but instead, he was asking him to go and dig into his disturbing past.

"Under what pretext can I enter that house? My father is smart enough to know if anything is suspicious. Everything that I have planned for today will fail."

Dr. Nelson crossed his fingers and stayed silent for a while. Then looking at Raymond, he said,

"I do not know why I am feeling this, but something was present in that drawer, that holds important information. I can feel it, Raymond. Maybe that will have some strong memory associated and will help to get your memory back. So you have to try."

"I have a party to attend tonight, which is being hosted by my father."

"Then that's your window. When your father is away at the party, you need to enter his house and figure it out. Handle the security though."

Raymond took a deep breath and got up.

"Looks like I have to break-in into my father's house."

Dr. Nelson smiled a bit and said,

"Sounds quite ironical. Doesn't it?"

Saying that Raymond left Dr. Nelson's clinic and called up David, to make adjustments in his plan.

On the other side, Sebastian was all excited and prim about the party that he was going to host. After all, it was the time to announce that his son was going to hold the helms of his empire. He knew that his son would never want to inherit his company, so he had no way other than taking a twisted approach of threating Akira so that Raymond would agree to take up the inheritance.

Even though the party was not going to start for another couple of hours, he was busy selecting his suit and shoes for the occasion.

Being the kind of the business empire, he wanted to retire in style before handing over his legacy to his son, whom he had hidden from everyone till now.

His face looked all pleased, all settled, but then suddenly his phone rang. He looked at the ID of the caller and took a deep breath. It was a call from his brother Conrad.

"Hello, Conrad."

"What am I hearing Sebastian? What have you done? How can Raymond agree to take your company? My son will never do such a thing."

"Your son !!! Huh, he has business acumen in his blood Conrad becasue he is my son. He will rule the world. My days are numbered, so maybe I won't, but you stay alive like you always have, to see him in all glory."

"I thought this whole thing will make you realize the value of life. I thought you will take this opportunity to rebuild your relationship with Raymond. LIfe gave you a fresh start and look at what you have done."

"What I have done? Seriously you are asking me this question?"

"All that I have done in my entire life was to hide away your mistakes and everything that you have done to ruin my family. So don't you dare ask me that question again."

"I ?"

"Seriously ?"

"After all these years ?"

"You still think I am the one who was wrong? I tried to save your withering family Sebastian."

"I did whatever was humanly possible to keep your family together."

Sebastian tried hard to calm himself and then said,

"You tried to clean up the mess. I agree. But who created the mess in the first place, Conrad? Who was the first to run away from responsibilities?"

"You were always a runner."

Sebastian said and with a heavy heart, he disconnected the call.
