Her Sacrifices For The Billionaire

AKIRA!! AKIRA!!! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU AKIRA?" Rayner( the CEO of the Miller Multi business Company and the richest young man in the whole world ) shouted from downstairs for his prison wife as soon as he returned home from work in the evening.

Akira's heart skipped a beat before hurriedly to downstairs. She just knew today was going to be another torturous night for her. She tried very hard to hide her tears since her tears brought even more anger to Rayner.

" We--welcome home Ra-- Mr Rayner. " Akira stuttered on her words, making Rayner angrier.

He just hates her. He hates everything about her. She hates all her pretending as he thinks. He hates the fact that Akira and her ex-husband killed his beloved deceased wife. He hates her for what her brother did to his cousin. He fucking raped her. He hates the innocence in her eyes. He hates the fact that she endures all his hatred without the slightest complaint.

That's why he married her. To make her pay hundreds of times for her crimes. She will live in hell at his hands. He won't physically abuse her, but will emotionally torment her.

" Akira, did you just eat before I came back from work? How dare you touch the fridge when I forbade you from eating today?" Rayner said angrily. He hates it when Akira disobeys him.

" I'm sorry Mr Rayner..." Akira just apologizes while fighting her tears not to come out. The man knew perfectly well that she didn't eat anything the whole day. But here he is, blaming her unnecessarily just to punish her.

" Did you just say you are sorry Akira? You fucking disobeyed me when I made clear to you this morning that you can't eat anything until I returned back from work. Now tell me, what should be your punishment?" Rayner sneered angrily.

There it comes. Akira knew this was all that it was about, 'PUNISHMENT. ' For what crime must she be tortured like this? For the past ten years since that unfaithful incident, life it's has become a hell for her. The only thing that keeps her living is her son.

"I will stand outside the whole night, Mr Rayner. " She knew that was exactly the kind of punishment Rayner wanted to give her.

" Fair well then, don't let me see you here in the next one minute. GET OUT!!" Rayner shouted at her.

Akira finally let go of her tears, which made Rayner angry.

There's something about her tears that tells Rayner that she's innocent and makes Rayner want to protect her rather than punish her. His heart hurts whenever he sees her beautiful blue eyes crying. It makes him want to hug her and coax her.

But then again, he will remember his late wife and the kind of feelings he has towards Akira will turn into boiling anger.

Akira turned to leave the house and stand outside for her punishment when her son, Tristan came down running with tears in his eyes. The boy had witnessed how his mother had suffered for the past six years while they were on the run till she finally got married to Rayner three years ago. For nine solid years, Akira never experienced happiness, and her 9-year-old son had witnessed it all.

" MOM!!!" Tristan called his mother and hugged her. The sight of the little boy is the only thing that softens Rayner. He doesn't know why but he feels the connection between him and the little boy.

Ever since he married Akira and met the boy, everyone even thought the boy was his son. There are a lot of resemblances between him and the boy. Moreover, the boy somehow resembles his late wife.

For example, the boy's hair color and curls are just like Mel, his late wife. The boy is allergic to many foods, which is similar to his late wife's allergy to such foods.

The boy's face and the rest of his body look exactly like Rayner's childhood. But he knows well enough that his son died with his wife in that tragedy. There's no way Tristan can be his son.

"Tristan, my love. Why are you here? Go back to your room now, okay? I will be with you tomorrow morning my love." Akira said while kissing her son's face.

Tristan's tears overflow, knowing that his mother will be standing outside the whole night.

"Mom.... did Uncle Ray punish you because you gave me the food from the fridge? " Tristan asked his mother while crying.

" No, no,, n,o, my Angel, that's not the ca,se, baby. Uncle never punished me, sweetie. Just go back to your room, okay? You can see me from your window then." Akira said with uncontrollable tears while she hugged her son.

The only thing and the last thing Akira would want is for Tristan to hate his own father Rayner. No one knows the truth about Tristan, and just like Akira promised his late mother, Mel, she will continue protecting both Rayner and Tristan from the unknown person in the dark. It doesn't matter if Rayner and his family have to maltreat her. She would leave when everything was over, and the real culprit was caught.

Rayner kept staring at the mother and son.

There are no similarities between them nor any resemblance. Yet the love between them is greater than anything he had ever witnessed. He has witnessed Akira going to great lengths just for her son.

One thing that puzzled him was that Akira had been trying her best to get him and Tristan along. He had overheard her warning the little boy that he could never hate Rayner. The voice of Tristan brought him back from his thoughts.

" Uncle... I'm sorry... please forgive my mother. She....she opened the fridge be...because I told her I was hungry. Please, I beg you, don't punish my mom!!! Tristan cried out loud to the emotionless man in front of him.

As always, Rayner threw his suit and bag aside and picked up Tristan. " Let's go to your room buddy. You can tell me what happened at school today. " Rayner tried to avoid Tristan's request. He definitely can't refuse the boy. But today, he's bent on punishing Akira. For some reason, he just loves Tristan. He went upstairs with the boy looking back at his mom.

A smile crept on Akira's face, seeing the father carrying his son in his arms, though he had no idea. "Madam Mel... at least I didn't fail you in this one. I know they will get along really well when the truth finally comes out." Akira said in her heart before going outside to execute her punishment.

She stood outside from hours to hours. His legs and feet were hurting her badly, but she had to go on. Her stomach grumbled from hunger.

She raised her head and saw her son sitting by his window looking at her like he always does. In that way, Akira would feel less lonely. She smiled at her son and he also sadly returned the smile.

Sooner than later, it started raining heavily. Tristan panicked, seeing his mother all drenched. It didn't take long for Akira to fall down unconscious.

" MOM!!!!! Tristan shouted when he saw his mother on the floor in the heavy rain. He quickly ran out of his room to knock on Rayner's door.

Rayner never has peace of mind whenever he punishes Akira. His conscience will always be beating him that he's wrong and whatever he's doing is wrong. He will always toss and pace around in his room whenever Akira is under punishment as if he's punishing himself too.

He was so lost in his thoughts when he heard the crying voice of Tristan behind his door, knocking hard. He immediately went to the door, thinking that something had happened to the boy since his mother was outside under punishment.

" Hey buddy, what's up? Why are you crying? " Rayner crouched down to the height of the boy.

"Mom... my Mom... She... she collapses Uncle Ray. My mom fell in the rain." Tristan said through his tears.

" Rain?? What rain---" Rayner paused when he finally noticed it was actually raining. He had been in his deep thought that he failed to notice the sound of the rain.

"SHIT!!!" Rayner cursed and quickly ran downstairs. He opened the gate harshly, and to his eyes, Akira was lying flat in the rain, unconscious.

He immediately crouched down picked her up in his embrace, and sent her into his room. He quickly prepared hot water and soaked her in for some minutes before drying her up and placing her on his bed.

He checked her temperature, and thankfully, it was normal. Rayner kept staring at the woman he had been married to for three good years without any physical contact. Akira was beautiful and pure as jade. It was so sad that she had something to do with the death of his late wife.

"I'm innocent Mr Rayner... I'm innocent Mr Rayner...I Didn't Kill Madam Mel..." Akira kept saying that phrase in her sleep while her body trembled.

" Will my mommy be okay Uncle Ray? "Tristan's small voice came out.

" Yes, buddy. I promise to take care of your mommy tonight. And don't worry, I promise that I won't hurt her. Now you can go back to sleep buddy. " Rayner said calmly to the boy and caressed his cheeks.

"Can I please sleep with my mom on your bed?" Tristan pleaded with him. It seems the boy can't trust Rayner with his mom.

"Sure buddy. Come here..." Rayner picked the boy up and gently laid him beside his mother on his bed.

Tristan immediately snuggled more into his mother's embrace, and as if Akira sensed it, she also pulled the boy to herself and wrapped her arms around him as protection. " My Son". Akira murmured in her sleep.

Rayner just looked at the mother and son on his bed and his heart ached. This would have been the life of him and his beloved deceased wife Mel.

Both he and Mel loved each other. In fact, he had been feeling like a betrayer since he had started having feelings for Akira. He thinks his wife will be angry with him from heaven and consider him a cheater. Thus he had to keep distancing himself from Akira.

Looking at Akira's innocent face, there's nothing that shows this woman could have killed his wife. But the video of evidence showed how happy Akira smiled when his deceased wife was crying behind her for help.

"WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TEN YEARS AGO? " he questioned himself while palming his face
