Miya followed the chief maid through the carpeted corridor. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own breathing. They stopped outside one of the rooms.

"Mrs. Uba, this is your room. Let me know if you need anything." The chief maid said politely.

"Where is Mr. Uba's room?" Miya looked around with curiosity and asked.

"Here," The maid pointed to the room opposite Miya's, "And the study is over there down the

corridor."

"Thanks."

The maid bowed and went downstairs.

Miya's jaw dropped as she opened the door and walked into her room. It was spacious and well equipped with a bathroom, a walk-in closet, which was filled with beautiful clothes, shoes and bags, and a study. Every item was. neatly placed. The décor was simple yet elegant. Miya lay down on the soft velvet bed and suddenly realized how exhausted she was. After a while, she dragged herself out of bed and ran to the bathtub, added a few drops of essential oil, and Soon the pleasant and soothing aroma filled the room. When s

    The gentleness he presented earlier had vanished completely.Her heart sank.

Have you displeased him? What did | do? If he's not even interested in my body anymore, he will probably stop paying me!Miya bounced off the bed instantly without even taking time to put on the bathrobe, and just as Xenon was about to open the door to leave, Miya hugged him from behind. "Honey, I know I'm not the best at making out or flirting, but I will learn. I will learn to please you." Miya said worriedly.Xenon felt the warmth of her naked body, but he appeared distant and cold."Take your hands off me."' He said plainly."Please stay."

    No wonder he's the richest man in town. I'm just his toy or pet, and he's so generous! These clothes, shoes, and jewels! It must cost a fortune! Miya thought.She picked a dress and put it on. As she looked at herself in the. mirror, she came up with an idea. I only need to sell a few outfits, bags, or shoes here, and I will get enough money for mum's treatment! Then won't need to stay here and please him. Excited, she picked a few leather shoes and bags and went downstairs."Good morning, Mrs. Uba." The chief maid said courteously."Good morning. I'm going out for a walk." Miya said in a hurry."We have prepared breakfast for you. Please have some before you go out.""Oh. Ok."The villa was like a castle. It took a couple of minutes to walk from the stairs to the dining area.Miya would have very likely got lost without the maid's guide.

    "Bitch! She's still asleep! I bet she and Xenon were having a late night last night! Ah, I hate her!" Sophia clenched her fists angrily and grumbled.Miya knitted her brows and said, "If you have any questions, you may contact Mr. Uba or Mrs. Uba. I'm just a maid. Good day" Miya was about to retreat, but Sophia asked sternly, "Wait! Is that bitch better looking than me?"Miya took a good look at Sophia. She's stunning and fit. She can easily be a supermodel. She thought. "You are better looking than her." She said sincerely. On hearing this, Sophia felt much relieved. Just as she was about to leave, another car pulled over and a handsome face popped out of the window.'"Hey, Sophia Moore, lucky you! You've already met Mrs. Uba! How are you two getting on?""What ?!" Sophia exclaimed. "You!" She pointed the finger at Miya. "Bitch! You lied to me!" Sophia Moore! Miya heaved a sigh.

    Jacob had just arrived and spotted Miya and Jodie walking into Brighten Company. He hadcome here, hoping to meet Xenon as he heard that Xenon would be inspecting the company today. He wondered what Miya was doing here. How does she know that Xenon is coming here?! She's a cunning one.Jacob leaned back in his seat and made a phone call. "Hey, Sean, guess where your little niece is.""Jodie? Why ?""l just saw her walk into the Brighten Company.""I will be right there." Sean glanced around the conference room, stood up, and walked off.The managers all watched him leave in shock. He turned around suddenly and said, "Dismiss."Just as Miya and Jodie got to the seventh floor and got out of the lift, someone rushed in rudely,carrying a pile of documents.Rude!. Miya and Jodie thought, exchanged a look, and shrugged their shoulders. But as theyglanced around the place and noticed that everyone seemed to be in a hurry, to be exact,panicking, they were puzzled. What's going on here? Thi

    Miya couldn't retain her smile anymore. She blinked and looked at Xenon with her big tearful eyes."Honey, please.." she said pitifully."If you were an actress, you would be the worst. I say I shall deduct the rest of the money in theaccount." Xenon said coldly, let go of her, and walked away without taking another look at her.Miya stood there silently and watched Xenon walking away, feeling helpless."Mr. Xenon Uba, which department should we inspect first?" She heard Levi speaking.Suddenly, she ran towards Xenon and grabbed his arm. "Honey." She said with a sweet smile."Take your hands off me," Xenon said with disdain.Miya looked at him and spoke sincerely, "Xenon, my mum is the most important person to me. I'mcompletely dependent on you now. I promise that I will be the best pet for you. Whatever you like, whatever you need, I will do my best to please you."Xenon didn't seem convinced.

    Xenon sneered and said, "Right. You aren't too dumb. I will deposit the money deducted yesterday back to your account then."Miya's face lit up, and she said with excitement, "Really?! Thank you so much, Xenon."When the car stopped outside the Uba Corporation, Xenon asked casually, "Do you really want a job?""Yes." Miya nodded. "I don't want to stay home all the time.""Why don't you work at the headquarters then?""The Uba Corporation?"Miya exclaimed happily, then she looked worried, "but i only have two to three years' work experience, and the U Corporation is one of the biggest companies in the world. I'm worried that I'm not competent enough.""Three-month internship. If you. can't make it, then you are fired and don't ever think of looking for a job again," Xenon said plainly.Miya felt more worried than excited now. I don't have another choice, do I? She thought.

    Xenon was still seated by the desk, but he wasn't working this time. Leaning back in his seat, his eyes closed, he said briefly "Make me some tea." He didn't even take a look at Miya.Miya looked around, spotted the tea and kettle on the table by the window, and brewed a cup forXenon. She placed the cup of tea on his desk and asked politely, "Is there anything else, Mr. Uba?"Xenon tapped his temple with his long slim forefinger and said plainly, "| I have a headache."Miya understood straight away and went over to give him a massage, from his upper back, shoulder blades, up to his neck and head, rather professionally.After a while, Xenon felt much lighter and the headache, as well as the tension on his shoulders, seemed to be gone. "Have you taken any massage courses?.” Xenon asks Miya."Not really. But my mum used to sit and draw or play the piano for a long time, and gradually shestarted to develop backache and. have tension on her shoulders. I did some research and learned a bi

    Two days later, Levi knocked at Chris' office door, carrying a bag of doc.u.ments and photos. "Come in," Xenon said, his eyes fixed on his laptop, trying to focus on work and not to think about Miya."Good Morning, Mr. Uba. Here are some doc.u.ments and photos of Mrs. Miya Uba." Levi handed Xenon the bag. "Have you spoken to her mother?" Xenon asked. He somehow felt that he was going to discover something that would change everything.Yes. I have. There was something in particular that I think you should probably know. It happened when Mrs. Miya Uba was about eight years old." Xenon looked up at Levi, surprised, expecting. "According to Mrs. Sue Loran, Mrs. Uba had a fever when she was around eight years old and lost part of her memories." Levi went on. "Did she say how and why?" Xenon asked eagerly. "She said Mrs. Uba had fallen into icy water that winter and caught a bad cold. She also mentioned that she probably had the accident of saving a stranger, but she had never seen th

    The next few days, Xenon and Miya hardly saw or spoke to each other. Xenon had arranged a few more bodyguards to keep Miya safe. He felt that he needed some time for himself. The moon was up in the clear sky. Standing at the balcony, looking at the moonlit garden, with a cigarette in his hand, Xenon recalled the last few months spent with Miya, from the first time he saw her drugged and vulnerable outside the lift at Turn On Bar to the time when she risked her life to save him and the other day when she tried to take Chris' punch for him. There was a voice telling him that he had grown attached to and even fallen in love with her. He had to admit to himself that he missed her though he was the one that decided to have a break. As he pictured her face in his head, he suddenly thought of the little girl that saved him on the icy winter day again. Why do I always relate her to the little girl? Sol is the girl that saved me, not Miya. He thought to himself, then an idea occurred to him

    Xenon dragged Miya into his office angrily and slammed the door shut. All the secretaries stared in disbelief. Though everyone was curious, no one dared to utter a word. He threw Miya onto the sofa and looked at her furiously, "No lies. Why were you at the restaurant with Chris Butler?!"Miya held his stare with her lips pouted. She remained silent.Xenon suddenly sat down next to her and pinned her down on the sofa, with his face right above hers, glaring at her threateningly. "Tell me." Miya felt that she had done nothing wrong and Xenon was being unfair. She heaved a sigh and said plainly, "He said he knows where my mum is, and he threatened me, so I had to go see him. You and Sol Keaton arrived just two minutes after I got there. I didn't know you were coming." Xenon looked into her eyes for a while as if to confirm if she was lying, then he got up, walked over to his desk, with his back facing her, and said, "I will take care of your mother. Now you can go back to work." Miya

    Miya acknowledged what Chris said but made no reply. She was literally dragged away by Xenon. He walked faster and faster, and she had to rush to catch up. At one point, she almost twisted her ankle, but she bore the pain and said nothing. The bodyguard held the door open for them, and Xenon pushed Miya into the car rather violently and slammed the door shut.Miya shivered, frightened. She rubbed her ankle gently and accidentally saw through the window that Sol was running after them. She stumbled and almost fell over, but Xenon went over to her quickly and held her arm.Seeing that she was struggling with her twisted ankle, Xenon lifted Sol up and carried her to the car. It hurt Miya to see how much Xenon cared about Sol. It's obvious who he really loves. He won't divorce me only because he's being possessive. He doesn't want other men to have me.Xenon's phone rang. The bodyguard helped answer the phone and held it by Xenon's ear. "Mr. Uba, our team has studied the record of the

    Both Xenon and Chris' bodyguards stood aside and watched cautiously. There was only limited space in the room, and even if the bodyguards wanted to help, they couldn't squeeze in. There were a few times when Miya felt fists flying right next to her cheek, and her heart was racing fast, frightened. Miya had learned how good Xenon was, and she was very impressed, but little did she expect Chris, who seemed so calm and elegant, to be another Kong Fu master. Hugging Miya with one arm, Xenon wasn't as swift as Chris, and suddenly, Chris threw a fierce punch towards Xenon. Miya screamed and held up her palms, intending to block Chris's punch.Both Xenon and Chris were shocked, and at the very same time, Chris retreated his fist while Xenon covered Miya's hands with his. That brought an end to the fight. "Didn't you want to leave me? Why did you try to take the punch for me then?" Xenon chuckled and teased. "I, I didn't mean to...it just happened," Miya explained feebly."Didn't you?" Xe

    They arrived at one of the best high-end restaurants in town. Chris was looking out of the window, enjoying the view while waiting. He heard the door open and Miya's footsteps. Without turning around, he said quietly, "I'm glad you made it here." "Mr. Butler, why did you pay for my mum's treatment? I don't want to be in debt to you or anyone.""You are not. I have my own intentions." He replied without giving her any further explanation. "What do you mean?" Puzzled, Miya asked him again. Chris looked at her, smiled, and said, "No worries. I just want to see you and buy you lunch." "I have no appetite." She refused his offer. "Ah. It's alright. I do. Two more people are coming, by the way." "Who?" Miya snapped. "Take a seat. You will find out soon." Chris stood up, pulled out a chair for Miya, and gestured to her to sit down. Miya felt more worried, but knowing that there was no way she could leave without Chris' consent, she obeyedDid you finish the books I gave you?" Chris

    Xenon bent down immediately to check. "You ok? Did you hurt your ankle?" Sol nodded. "I'm afraid so." Then she had a glance at the secretaries' office and saw that Miya could see them clearly. "Oh. Silly me. I shouldn't have worn heels." She said regretfully.Xenon put one arm around Sol's back and the other under her knees and lifted her up, so Sol wrapped her arms around his neck. "Xenon, I think I can manage. I'm worried that your staff will think it inappropriate to see you carrying me like this.""Inappropriate?" Xenon knitted his brows and marched towards the lift. "Whoever thinks it inappropriate should get fired." He said it aloud. As soon as the secretaries saw them get into the lift, everyone exclaimed, and soon gossip followed. Everyone saw and heard clearly how much Xenon cared about Sol, including Miya, especially when Sol smiled at her victoriously over Xenon's shoulder.She didn't need to do that. Everyone knows she's the one that Xenon loves anyway. Miya thought. Al

    Miya was startled. She had forgotten the fact that she and Sol looked like. "No, she's not my sister." She shook her head. "But my goodness, you two look just the same." Jodie looked at Miya, then at Sol, and back at Miya, in disbelief.Sol had a closer look at Jodie, noticing her attire and her pretty face. She asked cautiously, with a smile, "Who are you, may I ask?" "Jodie Field. I work here. And you?" "Sol Keaton." "Nice to meet you. Do you work here as well?" "No, not yet. Perhaps in the future. I'm here to see Xenon." "To see Xenon? Mr. Uba? You know him well?" Jodie looked at her suspiciously. "Yes. I want to keep him company." "Huh? What do you mean? He's got his wife to keep him company." Jodie said matter-of-factly. Nice one, Jodie. Miya thought gratefully. Sol looked displeased at first, then she smiled and replied, "The thing is, his wife isn't the one he loves. I am. Those who are just a replacement will have to leave sooner or later now that I'm back." Jodie po

    Irritated, he turned around and glared at Miya, "What do you want, huh? You were just saying you are jealous of Sol, and now you want to leave me." Miya smiled a helpless smile. "What do I want? Mr. Xenon Uba, I've told you that I love you, but we can't be together, can we? What do you expect me to do? To be your secret lover to humiliate me? And shouldn't you be loyal to Miss Keaton?"He didn't like seeing her smile. It upset and angered him at the same time. Without another word, he turned around and left. "Will you let me leave? Make up your mind, please..." Miya muttered.Xenon hurried back to his room. He didn't have an answer. Feeling helpless and hopeless, Miya collapsed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling all night long. She didn't get up till the maid knocked at her door in the morning to ask her to have breakfast. Seeing the tired and drawn face of herself in the mirror, she pinched her cheeks and said to herself, "Come on, Miya! This is not you! Cheer up. Life goes on
