Signing the papers - 2
His brows knotted upwards and his grip around his glass tightened. The way Sebastian had spoken was nothing less than utter disrespect.
David could see Raymond's veins protruding out from his skin. He knew that he was losing his cool. So he looked at him and shook his head sideways, telling him not to spit out what was at the tip of his tongue.
Seeing David's sign, Raymond calmed down a bit and closed his eyes. he knew he had to try his best to convince him. So he said,
"In these two days with her, I felt like I have received a new life. I felt like I could be happy again. And just when I could feel alive, you were there, ready to snatch away my happiness from me".
Saying that he looked directly into Sebastian's eyes.
"I have never done anything, like ever against you or to hurt you in any possible way. I have always restricted myself to my own boundaries. Then why can't you do that? Why can't you stop considering my life as your personal assignment?"
"I am not a job that you need to take care of. I am a grown-up man and I can take care of myself. I have never messed with you, so do not make me".
Raymond's demeanor which had become all emotional, tuned into an instant rage and looking at Sebastian he said,
"You have always snatched away my happiness from me. First mom and then Akira. Do you think she will be able to survive if I leave her this time? Do you want her to meet the same fate as my mom?"
Saying that Raymond shot his dart-like angry glance at Sebastian and he could feel the hatred and anger spewing from them. His heart was torn with his words and his eyes started to sting with tears. But Sebastian Walker was no ordinary weak man who could be broken by mere words.
He got up from the sofa and said,
"I am not interested in all your dialogues, nor I am up for any negotiation. My terms are very clear. Steer away from the girl, else you know what I can do", and saying that Sebastian pointed at the file which was lying on the adjacent table.
"My terms are clearly mentioned in detail. So I guess rather than wasting your time to persuade me, start going through the clauses. I think that would be more beneficial for you."
Then suddenly the voice of a girl echoed from upstairs,
"Sebastian !!! Baby where are you? Don't you want to taste your birthday gift?"
Raymond and David looked up and saw a girl standing upstairs. She was clad scantily, with a loose transparent robe barely hiding her shoulders. She was probably not older than twenty.
Sebastian saw both of them looking at that girl and then looking at him with a face filled with nothing but loathing. But ignoring all of that, he turned towards them and said,
"Take your time own sweet time and read the papers thoroughly and don't forget to sign them up before leaving this room. You know right, I am not good at waiting for anyone or anything.
Raymond turned towards David all helplessly and muttered,
"I cannot believe this man can stoop so low".
Raymond held his head with his palms and sat there all disappointed on the sofa after Sebastian went upstairs.
David came close to him and said,
"I don't' have the right to say anything about your personal matter Raymond, but still I will advise you to take his words seriously. Because you know your father is no ordinary man".
Raymond lifted his gaze and looked at David and said,
"Yes, I know, he is not a man. He is a monster."
