Akira needed to see how their sleepless night paid off with her own eyes, not on a screen from backstage. She walked back to where Rayner was sitting and quietly took her seat beside him who eagerly took her hand in his.Akira smiled at him lovingly before turning her face back to the stage.The Show started and truly, all the designs Akira and her team made looked fabulous on the modelers. There were tons of applause for their work.Akira became teary looking at her designs and how the audience who were applauding for them. It was indeed a memory to cherish.The Show went on and on, with Rayner and Rafael feeling proud of Akira and her team members for their work. No doubt, their company will definitely benefits a huge amount from it.It was finally left with the end of the Show and the last design needed to be presented.Akira, of course, being the person who solely designed that dress, needed to go on stage with the modeler.She was feeling nervous yet, she had no other option than

By the time the video was done playing, not a single person didn't have tears on their face.Everyone in the auditorium couldn't hold their tears back. It was supposed to be an Annual Exhibition, but now….Rayner and Rafael stared at Akira, who was in his arms as she cried vigorously.“So this is all the sacrifices you made for me, Kira? You protected my wife and son, even at the cost of your life…Yet, what did I do? I made you suffer for 10 good years. I'm sorry Kira, I'm so sorry, my love… I'm truly sorry.”Rayner held her even tighter and cried. “But that is not all the case here. What about the pictures of Akira's prostitution? I don't think someone who has gone through something like that can become a prostitute, right? Or was she just faking it all along?” Melissa said with a sinister smirk. She wasn't going to let Akira go free today.She was angry at how people were sympathizing with Akira. No, this is not how she planned everything. She needed to achieve her motive. She ha

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

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

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...

They are really your grandparent. And I mean your biological grandparent from your mom's side.” Akira said softly to make the boy understand
