"So standing in this church, in the land of God, you are going to lie on my face that you have no feelings for her?"

"You are going to tell me that all this that you are doing for her, is a selfless act?"

"Like seriously you are expecting me to believe it?"

Dr. Oshana lamented him sarcastically.

Dr. Nelson, even though he was irked with her statement kept his demeanor cool and said,

"It is easy for a normal person to understand stuff like that. But if you are only concerned for yourself, then this whole concept might sound alien to you. I cannot help you out with that."

Dr. Oshana took a deep breath, trying hard to believe in his words and then came forward a few steps and said,

"Let's talk business then. I have zero concerns for your new-found love anyways."

Unable to believe the unhealthy words he was hearing, he took a deep breath and said,

"I am listening."

But then instantly his eyes went towards the latex gloves she was wearing. He found it weird but then realized that maybe she would have left from her clinic in a rush and would have forgotten to remove them.

"So are you aware that Mr. Sebastian is ready to put a bullet into the head of Akira?"

"What? But why?"

"Well I guess apart from Mr. Sebastian himself, I don't think anyone else knows the right answer to this question."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because I know so."

"Mr. Sebastian hates Akira from the bottom of his heart and all this that he has done, I mean asking me to make false reports and stuff, is just a way to steer him away from her. He expected him to think that he is all broken and damaged and that way he made sure that his son stayed away from her so that he could have a better future."

Dr. Nelson heard each and every word that came from her mouth but he was unable to process, why a father would go to such an extent to harm his own son.

"So you knew all this. You knew how desperate and ridiculous his plan was and you still decided to help him?"

"Which part of trying to protect my reputation you do not understand Dr. Nelson? And it is not just about protecting my reputation and dignity. It's about protecting my life as well."

"Huh..."

Dr. Nelson said all sarcastically.

"You think all of this is a joke? You think by bringing Akira and Raymond together, you will be the messiah in their life? You have no idea what Sebastian will do, once he gets to know about your involvement in it. You may be silenced for life."

"I do not want to be anyone's Messiah. I just want to help two people to come together, who deserve each other. That's all. End of the ..."

"But you will end up killing Akira and then Raymond too, as he won't be able to live without her. Sebastian is unforgiving, he is relentless. Hope you understand that. Raymond knows it well, so he has asked me to let the things be the way they are."

"Can you come to the point?"

"The point is, if you are thinking of using that video as leverage against Mr. Sebastian, then don't do that. It will be a mistake."

"Why? Are you scared that you will be the first one who will not be spared by him?"

Dr. Nelson asked and folded his hands in front of his chest.

"Spared? If he gets to see this video, then first he will leak my video and kill whatever self-respect is remaining inside of me and only after that he will move ahead to kill me. Oh, but before he kills me, I think he would have killed Akira."

"The woman, for whose sake you are risking it all, will be dead before she knows it."

"And why are you so sure about it?"

She looked at him all intensely and then came close and said,

"If he doesn't then I will. And trust me, I will not hesitate to put a bullet inside of her."

Getting all agitated Dr. Nelson was just about to say something when she took out the scalpel and just ran it over the skin of his hand.

"You..."

Dr. Nelson winced in pain, but with a smirk on her face, she said,

"This was just a teaser of what might happen if you try to expose me. You are a neurosurgeon, one of the best in America. But how will you operate without your hands? So next time you try to mess with me, remember that if I can just slice the skin, then I can go deep and hit the nerve too."

Saying that she strutted away immediately.
