Torn in between

After that call with Sebastian, David couldn't comprehend anything further. He felt like suddenly his brain had stopped functioning.

He was feeling all torn from within. He couldn't fathom in the wildest of his dreams that he would be the one who had to separate the two love birds.

A part of him which was loyal to Raymond wanted him to live his life to his fullest, in his own terms. He wanted him to stay happy with Akira, wanted his sufferings to come to an end. But another part of him which was again loyal to Raymond didn't want him to lose out on Akira. He himself didn't want to be the cause that could possibly harm her in any way or endangered her life per se.

He knew how serious Sebastian was about this matter.

He knew that this man never gave empty threats.

So the fear in his heart for the well-being of Akira was real and was building up its enormity inside of him with every passing second.
