"Who the fuck are you?" one of the thug spat angrily.
"Me? Ha! I'm just a handsome guy who's gonna your face look like hell if you dare touch that little girl." Rayner said with a smirk."Ray... can you please stop playing around?Look at them, they are gangsters or so. Let's just save the girl and leave here." Mel whispered to her husband."Little girl come here!!" Rayner motioned for Akira to go to him which she did.Akira ran to Rayner and hide behind him. She grabbed his suite so tightly whiles Rayner used his left as a protective shield for her."Don't worry, my husband will not let them take you away." Mel said to Akira and patted her should with her free hand ."Hey man... I will fucking advice you to leave here and we wont hurt you. We just want the bitch, that's all." The thug said"Fucking address her like that one more time and i will make sure to break your damn jaws Asshole." Rayner said feeling his blood boiling. He doesn't know the little girl but he despise men who use such vulgar language to address women."Rayner please, just deal with them already. Look at the girl, she's shivering and had been starring at her watch from time to time." Mel really wanted to hit her husband's head for fooling around in this kind of situation."Relax babe.... it's will be over soon." Rayner said and winked at his wife. He only show this side of playboy in front of his wife. Now the little girl standing at his back has also witnessed it. Making two women in his life that know his little dirty secret.He started rolling his sleeves. " Ray... Ray.. don't tell me you are going to fight them." Mel whispered again to her husband feeling worried." If not, then what else should i do..?" Rayner said with a smirk. Mel smacked her forehead knowing that her husband had entered his high school mood."Hey!!! Give us the fucking bitch now!! the thug shouted making Rayner looked at him with bloodshot eyes. The thugs panicked from the way Rayner was staring at them, but they masked their fear."I fucking warned you not to address her like that again!!" Rayner said through his gritted teeth making Akira felt his body trembled with anger.Akira turned to look at Mel who also looked worried. Mel was worried for the thugs but not for Rayner because she knew Rayner can beat them all in a minute. But what if there's paparazzi around? Rayner's image in the public will be affected so she stepped forward."This is my husband Rayner Miller and I'm his wife Mel Brown. If you love your life dearly, then SCRUM!!" Mel shouted at the thug. There's no way she will allow her husband image to be jeopardize."Ra...Ray...Rayner Miller??"The thugs immediately ran when they heard the name." Babe.... that's not fair. I didn't want to use my name to scare them.." Rayner complained to his wife nearly pouting."Oh really? Then did you expect me to watch you make a blood pool here..?" Mel just rolled her eyes at her husband before her eyes landed on Akira." Hey hey, it's okay. Stop trembling, they are gone already.... Tell me what's your name and why are those guys after you? " Mel asked Akira calmly. She can see the girl was still in panic state."Ray.... go ahead and give her a hug. Can't you see how her body is trembling?" Mel ushered her husband." Are you crazy? How do you expect me to hug another woman? " Rayner asked feeling shocked at his wife suggestion." Of course I'm not, dummy. I meant a platonic hug... just like a brother to calm her down first. Besides, I don't want us to continue staying in this area. Moreover Ray, she's just a kid. Where in the hell is your mind going? " Mel reasoned with her husband with good heart and intention.Rayner contemplated with himself for a while before he pulled Akira into his chest and started coaxing her to relax and calm down.Just as Rayner hugged Akira, he regretted it immediately. His body started feeling hot and his heart started thumbing faster. " What the fuck is wrong with me?" he questioned himself with a frown.After what seems like infinity, Akira came back to her senses and wiggled herself from Rayner." Uhm... excuse me, Thanks for your help and I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you." Akira said politely and bowed to them before turning to leave."What is your name and how old are you? " Rayner asked all of a sudden.Akira halted in a steps and turned to face the couple. " My name is Akira, and I'm 17 of age." She bowed her head again and took off running."Why did you ask for her name and age?" Mel asked her husband without any bad intention. In fact she was just surprised because she's the first person Rayner asked such two questions together. And now this strange girl they met."Why?? Is my dear wife jealous? " Rayner kissed her and teased her." In your dreams Mr Miller. Now please let's get out of here." Mel chuckled and started walking to their car.Akira managed to reach the train station intersection C. She successfully managed to find Cristal." Hi... are you perhaps Mike little sister?" Cristal asked Akira who nodded in yes while gaping for air from her intense running."Cool.. I'm Cristal, your brothers girlfriend. Now let's move. I already bought the tickets. " Cristal said and grabbed Akira's hand.They were about to enter the train when someone pulled them back making them yelped and missed the train." Who the fuck do you think you are to ran away from me..." A man in his early 30s spat angrily at them."Bo...boss?" Cristal stuttered seeing her former Boss she's running away from." SLAP!! PUNCH!!!"The man dealt a huge slap and a blow in Cristal stomach making her spit blood. He dragged bother Akira and Cristal to his truck and drove off without caring how people were staring at them.The man brought Akira and Cristal to a place where the smell of alcohol, smoke and blood was intense." Now listen the fuck to me bitches, if you want to live, you better obey me from now onwards. " The man said and shoved them into a dark room with only a small window and locked them up.Akira coiled herself into a corner in the room and cried a lots fearing for her family.The man brought them food the next day and and Akira took that chance to ask about her family. " Where is my family? WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FAMILY? " Akira shouted at him and the man didn't hesitate to slapped her hard making her taste blood in her mouth." Now you fucking shut up and listen to me.. You parents are dead. It's left with only your fucking brother, if you want him to live, then you better behave. " The man said to Akira making her wailed for her lost." I WILL KILL YOU ONE DAY LUCAS!!! I WILL KILL YOU WITH MY OWN HANDS IF YOU EVER HARM MIKE!!! Cristal said angrily and tried to pounce at him but Lucas kicked her in the stomach making her spit blood again before her finally left.Days went by... Weeks went by and it's was almost one month for Akira's captivity. With less food and water, and with much beatings, Akira and Cristal were gradually growing weak.Lucas gave Akira an option. Is either she accept to be his woman, in other words his wife or she continue living in hell.Of course Akira choose the later one. There's no way in a millionyears will she get entangle woth such man. And there lies her torment in hell.It's wasn't long when Lucas brought two women with one holding a baby.Akira immediately recognized the woman and stood up to face her. The woman also did looked surprised seeing Akira in that condition."I guess you already know each. Now we will enjoy the party of four women. " Lucas said with a disgusting smirk.Rayner was in his office during the afternoon when his phone rang..." Hello James. What's is it? " he asked his wife personal driver." Young Master.... Young Master... I think Young Mistress... She... she has been kidnapped. " the driver finally managed to say the words." WHAT??" Rayner shouted and immediately took his suite and left the office.THE MORNING BEFORE MEL GOT KIDNAPPEDRayner and Mel woke up as usual and had their morning routine done as a couple with their son Brandon. But today was another donation day. They had already scheduled for today's date for their donation but Rayner's work came between them. They were now sitting at the dinning table while Rayner continued apologizing to his wife. "I'm sorry wifey, I'm really sorry I can't make it for the donation today. Fuck... they just decided to inform me yesterday of their visit to the official today. I didn't ev---""Rayner... Gosh would you please stop blabbering? I'm trying to have a peaceful breakfast whiles you keep distracting me. " Mel shove a bread in her husband's mouth to stop him from continuing his blabbering. Oh really? Do I really have that effect on you? Huh? Huh? Huh....""Stop it Rayner!!" Mel started giggling when Rayner tickled her. " Are you sure you will l be okay on your own? We can reschedule the date if you want my love. " Rayner tr
It's been a week now since Mel was kidnapped. And almost two months since Akira was taking in by Lucas. Evelyn had been shouting and whining here and there every time making Lucas more angrier. " Are you okay Ma'am Mel?" Akira asked her seeing how she had been beaten and her face all swollen. " I'm okay Akira. I can hang in there. But I don't think my baby can." Mel said with tears when she saw how baby Brandon has been crying ever since they were kidnapped. Lucas even threatened to kill the baby if he doesn't shut up. But Akira always try her best to either make baby Brandon stop crying or put him into sleep. They were in the dark room when Lucas burst the door and entered. " You!!! come with us." Lucas pointed at Evelyn. " I don't want to. You Assholes. " Evelyn shouted at Lucas. It's didn't take too long for Lucas to land a blow on her making her scream in pain." You fucking don't talk to me like that bitch." Lucas hissed at her." Excuse me, please we have been here for a
Rayner was shocked by what Mike said. He knows Evelyn never liked Mel because of her obsession with him. But will Evelyn go to such an extent just because of him...?" You fucking bastard, I know you are saying all this to save your sister. But I promise you that I will find her. I will find her and her husband and make them pay thousand times for killing my family. " Rayner said and punched Mike one last time before letting him go.At the moment someone quickly ran to Mike and started scratching his face. All the police men including Rayner was surprised to see Evelyn there at the prisons. " Evelyn stop.... Stop it now Evelyn.... Let's go off him... FUCK...!!" Rayner tried his possible best to pull Evelyn away from Mike." YOU ASSHOLE!! YOU RAPIST!! LET GO OFF ME RAYNER!! I WANT TO KILL THIS BASTARD WHO RAPED ME!!" Evelyn shouted and tried wiggling herself from Rayner's hold." ENOUGH EVELYN!!" Rayner shouted and Evelyn pretentiously started crying. " He raped me Ray... He ruine
BACK TO PRESENT Akira woke up in an unfamiliar room. She was shocked at the room she was in after she stirred up. No no no.... this can't be happening. For the three torturous years in marriage, she had enter this particular room only once. Even then she was punished for entering. In the whole Miller Mansion, the only places she's familiar with is her small room, if you can even call that a room. And the kitchen since she has to cook everyday for the whole family despite having tons of maids.No one in the Miller house liked her. To the extent of even some maids bully her except Mel's sister, Melissa. For some reason Akira doesn't feel comfortable around Melissa despite she is the only person in the house who smiles at her. Yet still, Akira always feel uncomfortable around her.It's not like she doesn't know how to retaliate when she's being maltreated, in fact for the whole seven years she went on a ran, if there's something she learned from it, then it's would definitely be "def
Rayner was going crazy processing everything Rafael said. "Ray... I have the documents with me at the office right now. I will hand everything to you so that you go through them when you arrive at the office. But I tried my best and couldn't find the actual murderer of Mel. And to my spectaculation, everything is now pointing at Evelyn. I don't wanna make assumption, but ........" Rafael trailed off knowing very well that whatever he was about to say will trigger his friend anger."Okay Raf.... see you at the office." with that being said, Rayner hung up. " EVELYN!!" Rayner said through his gritted teeth, feeling his blood boiled.He started arranging himself for work when he heard shouts all of a sudden from downstairs. *************"AKIRA!!! AKIRA GET YOUR FUCKING ASS HERE RIGHT NOW!!!" Regina, Rayner's youngest sister and a high school student shouted for Akira. Akira ran downstairs with her son when she heard her name being called. She has indeed break the rule of waking up 4
" You evil bitch.... what kind of spell bound did you put on my son!!!" Rayner's mother shouted at Akira with pure anger." Me..? Evil witch....? OK fine , then let me tell you what I've done for you all so that you can judge me base on that....I will start with the murderer Evelyn..... you killed Mel and you are quite aware of that, but you put the blame on me for me to suffer for almost ten years for your crime. Seven good years on a run. And three solid good years in a loveless marriage making my life a hell. All of you just take pleasure in torturing me and bossing me around all in the name of a crime I didn't commit. Now my question is... Who was Mel to you all? Were all of you closer to her or.... you only pretended in front of her but hated her behind her back...? " Everyone fell silent at the question thrown at them. Akira took that as a cue to continue. " And you Regina.....when I was at your age, it would be very hard for me to look straight into an elder's eyes. But you
Tristan waited in Rayner's room for a while without anyone coming for him. Neither Rayner nor Akira went to him so he decided to go and see if Rayner was punishing his mother.The little boys gasped in happiness for seeing Rayner hugging his mother for the first time during these three years they've been staying in the same house. A giggled left his mouth making the couple broke from their hug. " Oh don't mind me mom.. uncle Ray. I will close my eyes and pretend not to see anything. You can continue your...... Uhm never mind, I'm going to uncle Ray's room." Tristan didn't wait for them to say anything before he left while giggling. Akira blushed snd then saw her tears had stained Rayner's shirt. She Panicked and immediately apologized." I'm sorry for staining your short with my tears." she said and hung her head low waiting for her punishment. "It's okay, I will just go and change. " Rayner said curtly. " HUH???" Akira couldn't masked her surprised. " What is wrong with this man
Rayner reached his office and immediately spot his friend, Rafael sipping his coffee and walking to the VIP elevator. " Raf...!" Rayner called out to him.Rafael turned around to face his friend and immediately knew there was something different about him today. He waited for Rayner to join him before both of them went inside the elevator. " Whooaa dude, I can see you are in a good mood today. Is it because of my investigation? Well if yes then you have to know only this your best buddy here can do that. What about thanking me first." Rafael boasted for himself only to be crushed by Rayner's words." I'm not in a good mood of a fucker like you.... Well I apologize to Akira and we even hugged each other." Rayner said with a dreamy smile. " Ptttttsssss....!" Rafael spat his coffee which he was about to swallow. He bet he didn't hear what his friend said.What did you just say Ray..? " Rafael asked him to verify If he had heard him correct. "What the fuck man..... you spat in the fuck
"Hey love, you are awake!" Rayner's voice resounded as Akira emerged from the lounge, finally awake after their passionate moment.Exhausted from their escapades, Akira barely had the energy to open her eyes. Rayner, knowing she needed rest, allowed her to sleep while he attended to his responsibilities.While Akira rested, Rayner couldn't afford to relax. With so many things on his plate, there was no time for him to take a break."What time is it?" Akira's soft voice reached Rayner's ears as she made her way towards him, settling onto his lap once she arrived.She nuzzled her face into his neck, breathing in his alluring and masculine scent. In his arms, she felt at home."It's almost 3:00 PM, my love," Rayner replied, placing a kiss on her exposed neck. He cherished having her in his embrace.His late wife, Mel, was no match for the love he had for Akira. But that did not mean he did not love Mel; he simply loved Akira more."What? Why did you let me sleep for so long? You should ha
"Jonny... I have finished your work. Just follow the annotations I have made on your sketch and everything will be fine," Akira informed Jonny after she completed the revisions for his assignment."Oh my goodness! My dear, I adore you so much. It's incredible how I was struggling to trim the material edges. Your alteration is flawless!" Jonny exclaimed joyfully upon achieving his goal.Akira simply smiled at his enthusiasm and chuckled to herself. Jonny acted more like a teenager than an adult."Alright, I will step out for a few minutes," Akira announced as she stood up from her chair and walked past Jonny, who playfully raised his eyebrows."What?" Akira couldn't help but ask, her face blushing and a smile on her lips. It was as if she already knew what Jonny was silently implying."Nothing... Just don't forget that we are in the office. Do your best to keep it down later," Jonny whispered mischievously, leaning in closer to her.She playfully hit the back of his head as she chuckled
The day couldn't be any happier for Akira. She was happy and busy with work throughout the day. Who would have thought that what she feared would happen all these years could bring her such relief? She didn't know whether she should thank her lucky star or the person behind what happened though he or she is still unknown as of now.Whilst she was busy with her work, someone walked to her... "Ma'am, please Boss wants to see you in his office." One of Rayner's secretaries said to her politely. After the scandal, no one dares to be rude to her again. Everyone respected and wanted to be on her good side. And that's also one thing that made Akira more happy. At least, she's not free from people talking behind her. "Rayner wants to see me? Why?" Akira asked the secretary who wanted to raise her eyebrow at her question. She's just a mere secretary and only follows instructions, so how would she know the reason behind her Boss's request? "Sorry Ma'am... but I don't know the reason. I was
Rayner reached the office with Akira, who was feeling nervous as hell.She kept clasping her hands together in anxiety, making them sweat.Rayner saw her nervousness and picked a tissue to wipe her sweaty palms. Of course, he understood her concern. This was her first time returning to the office after what happened months ago. Anyone with a sense of awareness would feel the same.“Sweetheart, we have to go inside now. Don't worry, I will be by your side. And trust me, I don't think anyone would judge based on your past.And besides, why should you worry about what others think instead of me? My opinion should be much more important to you than what the world might think. Don't you think so?” Rayner took her hands into his and spoke softly to her.Akira found his statement reasonable. Why should she care about what the world thinks of her? Each and everyone is entitled to their own thoughts. What matters is that her husband and her son accept and love her unconditionally. With those
Everyone looked at Akira as if they were waiting for her to make a judgment. She became the center of everyone's attention, like the culprit waiting for the Judge's Ruling.However, Akira concentrated only on Tristan and made his seat beside her.“Listen to me, son, I know you are smarter than your age shows. So I hope you would understand what I'm about to tell you, okay?" Akira said gently to Tristan, who nodded his head in obedience."The thing is... I promised your biological mother that I would reunite you with her family after the truth about her kidnapped and murder comes out.So, I would rather not break that promise, honey. In fact, not a single day went by without me thinking of all that I promised your biological mother, which I have already fulfilled half of it.So-- I think you should call Mr. and Mrs. Brown your grandpa and grandma. They are really your grandparent. And I mean your biological grandparent from your mom's side.” Akira said softly to make the boy understand
“Alright Young Master Miller… Let's go for breakfast now.” Rayner said dramatically to his son and took his hand with his left and held Akira's hand with his right hand as they walked downstairs.However, Akira froze on the stairs when her gaze landed on the entire family and the Brown family sitting at the dining table. “What the heck are they doing here?” Rayner hissed with a frown as he stared coldly at the people around the table.Everything that happened the day before came rushing through her head. She wanted nothing but to turn and leave. However, her feet refuse to move. “Are you okay love? Do you want us to go back to our room? It's okay if you are not ready to meet or talk to anyone yet.” Rayner leaned closer to her ears and whispered whilst he caressed her back. Akira sucked in a deep breath and shook her head with a faint smile. “I'm okay, Ray, let's go for breakfast.” She said softly to him and offered him a faint smile.Rayner nodded and held her hand even tighter as t
The next morning, Akira woke up and tried to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. However, the moment she tried to step out of bed, strong and warm arms pulled her back into bed.A small yelp tore from her mouth before she turned to see Rayner sitting up on the other side of the bed.Thankfully, Tristan has working up a few minutes ago and went to his room to take his shower. “Ray…?” Akira gave him a puzzled look. 'What's wrong with him?' Akira thought out loud as it was a habit. No matter how much she tried to stop herself from thinking out loud, it still wasn't easy as she just couldn't.Rayner chuckled at her and pulled her closer to his warm chest before lifting her face and planting a soft kiss on her lips all of a sudden.Akira blushed profusely at the thought of Rayner Smelling her morning breath. She felt so embarrassed at the thought of such an idea.“Good morning, my love,” Rayner whispered with a sheepish smile to her.“Go- good morning,” Akira said stuttering softly, stil
Rayner went home with Akira in his arms. He went straight to his room with her and immediately took her to his bathroom to help her wash up.But he stopped right in front of his door before asking Tristan to go and wash up in his room first.Tristan obediently nodded his head and went to his room to do as his father has instructed him to do.Rayner sat Akira on a small bench in his bathroom and filled the bathtub with warm water before helping her to strip her clothes.Akira's mind was in chaos with what happened earlier, so she didn't mind this time being the first Rayner was seeing her nakedness. Likewise, Rayner wasn't in the mood to drive his mind into any intimate activities. So, he gently helped her soak for 20 minutes before pulling her out.He dried her body and hair before he carried her to his bedroom. After gently laying her on his bed, he turned to move, but Akira hurriedly grip his hand to stop him.Rayner turned his head back to her and slowly knelt beside her before ki
Rayner didn't even bother to look at Evelyn's side because he knew Rafael and Crystal wouldn't let her get away.“Rayner… Rafael, please let my daughter go. I know she did wrong, but she's my only daughter. How can you send her to jail? All she did was for you. She has loved you ever since you were kids, but you didn't return her feelings, and that made her do things she shouldn't have done.If only you returned her feelings, none of these would have happened. Just let her go, please…!” Evelyn's mother cried out when she saw the security guards pulling Evelyn out of the premises, with Rafael and Crystal behind.Her words agitated many people. Indeed, Evelyn is a cold-blooded murderer, yet her mother was actually begging Rayner to forgive her daughter.Is she insane or what? Besides, is it only Rayner who is affected by Mel's death? What about Mel's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brown?Are they not also impacted by the loss of their daughter?And moreover, the woman sounded as if she was blami
