　　 Chapter 18

　　 Raymond dropped her grumpy niece at his sister's place . His sister Katherine asked him to come inside and join them for dinner but he didn't want to . "Go away uncle," screamed Kate and stormed inside . He threw an apologetic look at her sister and said -"Work emergency . Will take her next time . I promise" . "Don't make promises you can't keep Ray . Anyways drive safe", said Katherine and waved at him .

　　 He didn't wave back at her . He just nodded and sped through to reach his house as soon as possible . He wasn't able to grasp why her proximity with another guy was affecting him so much . He threw his jacket away and went to his bedroom and flung himself on the bed . His mind was recapping the whole thing again and again . How that guy was hugging her, how he pulled her close and how he undid her ponytail . He didn't realize he had tugged the sheets so bad that they were almost about to get ripped .

　　 It wasn't like he was in love with her or something, but he was filled with disgust . He was reacting like it was her woman who cheating behind his back . He pulled the side drawer and took out the letter Akira had written for Raymond . He re-read it again and again . There was so much pain in the letter . After reading the letter for the first time he felt that she had dedicated her life for that guy and n.o.body else had mattered to her . But after what he saw at the Karaoke place, it all seemed fake to him . He couldn't believe that it was her whom he had met on the flight .

　　 "How could she move on so fast and start a fling with another guy?", he thought . He got all the more reasons to distance himself from women now . "They seriously can't be trusted", he thought . But what affected him the most was that he thought that she was different from all . He felt she was not like other plastic and makeup-clad vain women walking on eggsh.e.l.ls all around . He was drawn towards her simplicity and her innocence . He wondered if any of it was real . The whole flight journey, which he was treasuring like one his best memories now appeared sour .

　　 When he couldn't find her at the Airpor Exit he was restless . He couldn't believe that their journey ended so abruptly . He so badly wanted to meet her . But now that he did, he wished that he hadn't . At least he could have had the incomplete happy memories to cherish .

　　 He sighed and took the letter and tore it into pieces . Every tear looked like he was venting out his anger . He threw it all into the dustbin . Then he recollected that he had her Boarding pa.s.s too . He turned to take that out and destroy as well . He was so angry that he wanted to remove all her traces from his life . But then he said to himself - "You deserve this . " He kept it with himself to remember to never let his guard down .

　　 Then he went to take bath to calm himself down .

　　 After he came out from bath he diverted all his focus on his next investment meeting . He had one week to complete the new plan and approach Abacus Inc for investments . He was back in form and switched to his workaholic beast mode .
