Can you mend my broken heart?

With his mouth all opened in shock, he gazed at her all amazed.

She had indeed played him well. He had no idea that she could mess with his head with such absolute confidence.

"So you are playing with me right now?"

"You started it", Akira spoke while suppressing her laugh.

She knew that she had him under her control just like a puppet. She could feel how much control she could exercise over him and somehow that made her all joyful.

"What are you so happy about? I haven't even played properly. You need to see my top game".

"Neither have I", she said and ran her thumb on her won lips all seductively.

Before Raymond could speak anything more their car came to a halt.

"We have arrived sir", said Raymond's driver and he came out to open the door for them.

Akira smiled gently at him and came out of the car.

Raymond was standing on the other side and had his palm extended out for her.

"Royal treatment !!!", Akira said and held his hand, which pulled her close in one swift motion.

Then he quickly whispered into her ears,

"Wait till tonight. I will show you the real colors of how I play".

She giggled softly and said,

"Well then, maybe I can show you mine as well".

Saying that she gave him a playful wink and followed him inside.

A worried David tried to pull out all the information about Dr. Smeathe, starting from her college grade sheets to her medical papers and all her journals. No matter how hard he tried to dig in, she seemed all clean.

She had passed with distinction throughout her entire career and had obtained many scholarships. So academically she was indeed a sound person and David had no question on her capabilities as a doctor. She had started recently in her career, but already had seven papers published in international journals and at London, she was going to present her eighth one.

Next, he moved to her phone records and found several calls from Mr. Sebastian on her phone.

A part of him, first thought that those calls must be from a worried father as the calls had started from the day Raymond had woken up.

But then as it was Sebastian Walker, so he couldn't take his chances. If in any way Akira was harmed because of his indecisiveness, then neither Raymond would forgive him, nor he could forgive himself.

The weirdest thing that he felt was the fact that in spite of being just a normal doctor, she had a private number, just like Sebastian and he wondered if that was provided by him as she had started using that number from the same day as Raymond woke up.

"Coincidences can't happen like this", he mumbled and decided to check the security footage from 'The Savoy' again.

While going through the video he suddenly found a bell boy staying constantly on the 11th floor for no reason at all.

He hovered around Akira and Raymond's room every once in a while and pretended to clean the carpet, the moment he saw Akira coming out of the room.

Then he saw that man dialing up a number on his phone and after finishing the call he hurried in the direction that Akira had left and he left the floor for good.

A sudden sinking fear started gripping him.

"Was he the sniper which Mr. Walker was talking about?"

The thought itself gave him chills and wanting to avoid all these negative thoughts from his mind, he decided to attempt again to reach Raymond.
