Can You Mend My Broken Heart?

Chapter 542 - Rock Bottom

He could almost feel the air running dry from his lungs for that man was not a forgiving one. His shrewdness was well known to the business world. Even though he had briefly collaborated with him earlier he knew that right now at that very moment there was nothing that he could say that would please the old man for he had tried his level best to sabotage the life of his son.

So taking a deep breath and without beating around the bush he asked,

"So you were there? I mean at the wedding venue?"

"Whether I was there or not, does that even matter?" and saying that Sebastian got up from the chair, holding the gun all nonchalantly in his right hand.

Looking at his stance Vikram gulped on his spit and said,

"Whatever happened, I can explain it to you later. Right now I need some rest. So if you would excuse me, I would like to..."

"You would like to what Mr. Vikram? Play another dirty trick of yours to ruin my son's life."

Clenching his fists Vikram replied, "That was a mistake. I will never repeat it and I promise you that. Your secret, your family's secret is safe with me. I was out of my mind and I apologize for that. But that's never going to happen again."

Hearing that Sebastian's expression relaxed a bit, and he placed that gun back into his pouch carefully and then asked,

"So who all apart from you know about it?" asked Sebastian, his tone a bit less rigid than before.

"Just me and my assistant, that's all," Vikram replied, hoping against hope that it would suffice his anger.

"I see. That's a relief then. I can have the situation under my control!" ;

There was an unsettling but pleased expression on the face of Sebastian which suddenly spooked Vikram. So he suggested,

"My assistant is very trustworthy. For all these years he had been a part of all my work and knows everything about me. He has kept all our secrets safe. So rest assured, he will not dare to open his mouth."

With a wicked expression on his face Sebastian replied,

"Yes, I know he won't!" and then turning towards Vikram he said,

"In fact, he can't."

A chill ran down Vikram's spine, and he looked at Sebastian spitefully because his words sounded nothing less than a bad omen.

"Now coming to the point. How did you get all this information?" asked Sebastian.

"I... I heard when..."

"Oh so you eavesdropped?" asked Sebastian cutting through his words and then with a mocking look on his face, he said,

"Mr. Sebastian. You have my word on this. I will not utter a word in front of anyone about this. You have to trust me on this. And I am also giving my word on behalf of my assistant. If you want, I will ask him to sign a confidentiality agreement."

Sebastian chuckled and said,

"Your assistant? You think I am bothered about your assistant? Huh... how naive you are Vikram. I think I gave you more credit than you were actually worth of."

"So are you worried about me? If yes then you shouldn't because right now my focus is my family. I will forget Akira and I will never step in the way of Raymond."

"And how can I believe that? A couple of nights back you wanted to impregnate into my council. You were hungry for power and hunger for power is a nasty thing. Isn't that Mr. Vikram Shah?"

And saying that Sebastian again took out the gun and threw it on his bed.

Vikram was perplexed because he wasn't able to understand what the old man was intending to do.

"Pick it up!" Asked Sebastian sternly.

"Mr. Sebastian... Please... I am telling you..."

"Just pick up the damn gun !" yelled Sebastian and that scared the hell out of Vikram, and he hurriedly gripped the gun in his hands pointing it towards the fierce old man.

"And now I dare you to pull the trigger."

"Mr. Sebastian!"

"Pull the trigger you dimwit!" thundered Sebastian and unwillingly Vikram placed his index finger on the trigger. His hand, his entire body completely shaking for he had no idea what that man was intending to do. And the moment he did so, Sebastian pulled out the kerchief from his pocket and said,

"Now place the gun quietly on the kerchief!"

"What are you doing Mr. Sebastian?" asked Vikram as he placed the gun on the piece of cloth and watched the old man carefully placing it back inside the pouch.

"That's my ammo against you Vikram," spoke Sebastian with a devilish grin on his face and seeing that Vikram still didn't understand what he meant, he chuckled and said,

"No I can kill anyone and the blame will be on you Vikram. I have already wiped my fingerprints. Someone had very cleverly wiped it before. Maybe they wanted to hush the matter. But I am not a hush hush person you know. The dare you dare to open your mouth, that would be the day you go down. Not just down, you will hit rock bottom Vikram," and saying that Sebastian left the room. ;

Shell shocked, Vikram immediately asked for the nurse so that he could get their mobile phone to make a call.

"Ring... Ring... Ring..."

"Come'on Peter! Pick up the call!"

But no one picked up the call. The phone kept buzzing in a pool of blood.
