Hearing such a stern and blocking reaction from Sebastian, Raymond asked,

"Why does it bother you so much? Give me one good reason why I should leave her. I cannot abandon someone just because you say".

"There you go. You have the best reason now. Because I said so", Sebastian said with his tone getting all serious. Then, taking a pause and gauging their reaction he said,

"And I think you know it very well that I don't back down from my promises. You promised that you will come back and agree to my terms, so I sent the snipers back. But my men will keep a tab on you. If you dare to meet her again, then I just need to move one finger and she will be wiped away from your life forever".

Raymond's fists curled in anger.

He kept his glass away as he knew that he would break it any minute. He could bear anything, but not a word against her girl. And this man had the audacity to sit in front of him and talk about taking away her life.

Only he knew how he was maintaining his composure in front of him.

He turned towards Sebastian with his bloodshot eyes and asked,

"So this is your final decision?"

"Yes"

"So you are ready to kill her, just to keep me away from her?"

"Yes, I am. You know what a father can do to protect his child?"

"Protect me !!!", Raymond heard and chuckled.

"How are you going to protect me by killing her? Don't you know that if anything happens to her then eventually I will die as well? What twisted and convoluted way is this for protecting me?"

Sebastian took a deep breath and said,

"You don't know a thing, my child. You don't know how twisted your fates are. Probably it's for your best that it stays that way, all hidden and oblivious to you. You go ahead and choose any girl in the world, I don't care, but not her, at any cost. That's it".

"That's it? That's your reason? Because I said so? Is this the way you negotiate?"

"I hope you haven't come here to argue with me about this. Over the phone, we already had this conversation. I cannot go through it again and again".

"I have come here to negotiate the terms".

"Oh, just like the way you did with Mr. Takai?"

Raymond heard him and looked at David with surprise.

Sebastian saw the surprised expression on Raymond's face and crossed his leg on the sofa. Then with a smug smile, he said,

"I think you know what they say about me. I have eyes in the back of my head".

Raymond looked at the grin on his face and then took a deep breath and said,

"I have already lied enough in front of her. All these days I have hidden away from her, thinking that I wasn't good enough. I had started to learn to live like that but then suddenly I stopped because life without her has no meaning for me. I might as well be dead rather than staying away from her".

Sebastian was shocked to hear his last statement.

Then looking at him he said,

"First of all, Sebastian Walker's son cannot be that weak to die because of some girl. And second of all, this relationship that you are bragging about in front of me, will turn toxic in no time. So in reality, I am helping you out to come out of the deep waters, before you drown and sink in".

Then with a stern voice, he said,

"Now I have done enough explaining. Just sign the goddamn papers and leave."
