With nothing but smile smeared on her face, Katherine walked towards the main entrance where the media was going frenzy. Many reporters had been hired by Vikram as he wanted to capture the fall of the Walker family, but instead, he had to taste the dust.

Walking towards the media, hand in hand with Shawn, Katherine's face looked like she was at her peaceful place. A moment hack a hurricane had hit her life but now there was nothing but tranquility and a promise for a new happy beginning. 

As Shwan handed her the scissors to cut the ribbon, she held it in her hand for a while and then turned back in the direction of David and looked at him with nothing but gratitude-filled in her eyes. Then she looked at Shwan and he immediately understood what she wanted and nodded his head to support her wish. 

His support was all that she wanted, so looking at the media she said,

"Today if I am standing here, to be able to realize my dream into reality, then it has been possible because of this one person."

Saying that she extended her hand in David's direction.

Taken aback by her statement, David took a few steps back to avoid the glare of the media, but Raymond stopped him by placing his palm on his shoulders and gave him a smile.

"It would not have been possible without you David. We are not related by blood but I have always considered you as my family, always and deep down I have always felt the same from your side. So I would be really glad if you can share this moment with me and turn my dream into a reality today."

"Come on David. Just go."

Saying that Raymond gave David a nudge.

As he walked ahead to join Katherine, his eyes started to sting. He was overwhelmed by all that gratitude that was showered onto him. So much so that his voice was chocked and he was unable to even utter a single word as he stood next to Katherine.

With a smile on her face, Katherine gave the scissors in his hands and asked him to go ahead with the ribbon cutting.

The whole atmosp[here had turned so magically emotional that Akira couldn't stop the tears from running on her face and seeing that Raymond couldn't stop but admire how pure was her heart. A warm smile spread on his face and he took a step to his right to stand next to her.

The moment Akira realized that Raymond had inched the gap, she quickly wiped her face so that he couldn't see her crying out of happiness, but little did she know that in front of him her soul was all bare. So just when she was about to adjust her hair, she saw his hand extended in front of her, holding a handkerchief.

And before she could turn towards him, he came close and whispered into her ears,

"I think you might need this."

Taking the handkerchief she wiped her face and then looked up at him. There was a genuinely happy smile spread on his face and seeing that after so long, it made her heart skip a beat and fall in love with him all over again. His face looked handsome as ever and that smile on his face, made his lips look even more kissable. He was drawing her towards him, without even doing anything.

Akira shook her head to steer clear from the thoughts of his lips.

"Where is my focus?"

She mumbled and tried to look at the press conference that was happening. 

Katherine was answering all the questions elegantly with a smile brimming on her face. Time to time even Shawn was responding to queries. They both gave a lot of details about their goals and ambitions and the media was extremely happy to hear about their association with charitable trusts and support funds.

Akira was admiring the way they both looked so good as a couple, dealing with issues together, enjoying the victories together. Automatically a smile etched on her face as she looked at them but suddenly she was startled as she sensed someone's warm palm resting on her back. In a split second, she knew it was him and she blushed hard.

"Raymond no !!! We are in front of the media. Can't you see all this crowd?"

"No for what? What did I do?"

Raymond quipped innocently.

Akira turned her face towards him and raised her eyebrow. It was her way of forbidding him from doing anything. But he was in no mood to listen. After this whole jaunt, finally, he was able to stand next to the one person that he loved the most without the fear of his dad. 

So ignoring her looks, he slowly started grazing his thumb along her spine, sending her chills.

"Raymond stop !!!"

"Seriously you want me to stop?"

Raymond whispered with a smug smile pasted on his face.

"We can do all this at home. Not here."

"So you have already planned to invade my bedroom and my privacy?"

Saying that Raymond gave her a mischievous look and withdrew his hand.

Unable to bear his touch and his teasing, Akira blushed all scarlet red and hung her head low. Before she could even calm her nerves, he softly blew air into her ears and then said,

"Hope you haven't' forgotten your promise."

"What promise?"

"Well, you had promised me something lacy and black when all of this was over."

"But we have so many things to handle. Your company matters, our company matters, and Vikram."

"I will handle all that during the day. Don't you worry about that ok? I just need you to focus on tonight."

Saying that Raymond smiled and then pointed his hand towards the sky.

A huge bunch of balloons had been released to mark the opening function. Shades of yellow and pink were making the sky look even pretty.
