She could see that his face had fallen. She could clearly see him flinching in pain.
"Please say something Raymond. Please."
She knew that he was hurt. She knew that he was bleeding deep inside because not only someone insulted his fiance but also because of the fact that the person who insulted her was none the other than his father.
He hated his father, he truly did, but after her hearing out, he felt like his heart had been seared because of his actions. He closed his eyes and started taking deep breaths to find reasons not to kill him off.
Akira embraced him quickly with her arms and said,
"Forget what I said, Raymond. Just forget it."
He opened his eyes and looked at her for a moment. Then, taking a deep breath, he asked her,
"Did he dare to touch you?"
"What?"
"Did he try to touch you anywhere inappropriately Akira? Answer me honestly."
