"Huh?" Miya found it senseless."But then everyone will know. Are you sure I should leave early ?"Xenon said impatiently, "My time is more important than yours.""Yes, of course. But isn't it easier if I take a taxi or...""Don't cross me." Xenon snapped.Miya shook her head in confusion. "l just thought you didn't want people to know about our relationship.""The staff and strangers don't need to know, but my family and relatives do. If they find out, let them."Miya decided to leave it be. Whatever he says. She thought. I shall not argue with him. Pointless."Right." Miya compromised."How are you liking your job?" Xenon changed the subject. "It's not bad.""Tell me the truth," Xenon demanded."It is not bad. I have a lot of free time for myself.""What do you do with it?""Just checking some new design works about interior decoration and architecture. It's interesting."Xenon was rather surprised to hear so. He thought he could bore her by not assigning her any work soon that she

Miya found cooking very therapeutic, especially baking. She also baked two cakes, one looking like an angry dragon and the other a gentle fairy hidden in a little forest.When Xenon arrived at the dining room, he noticed the cakes first. He was impressed at first, then he looked a bit annoyed and said with a sneer. "A very angry dragon. What is it going to do with the frightened fairy ?"Miya didn't expect Xenon to interpret her thoughts. Worried, she tried to justify herselfinstantly, "Oh, I just had a weird dream about them last night. It doesn't meąn anything.""Did I say it's supposed to mean anything?" Xenon retorted, his eyes fixed upon hers."Ha. No. Well, it's meant to be eaten for sure." Miya replied with a cheeky smile.Miya sliced the head of the dragon, put it on a plate, and passed it to Xenon. "I hope you like it." She grinned.Seeing her cheeky look, Xenon seemed less distant. He accepted the cake and forked a bite into his mouth. "Very nice. You will get a reward of o

Xenon decided to help Miya when they first met merely because he thought she looked like Sol Keaton, but as he got to know her a bit better, he realized that Miya reminded him more of the little girl, the angel.Miya breathed heavily, looking at Xenon, not knowing what to do or what to say anymore."Get up and get out of my room." Xenon got off her and said coldly."What's between us?" Miya asked, lying on the bed still. She bit her lips, looking at Xenon with tearful eyes."Nothing. I purchased you. You are a toy. What else do you think you are?" Xenon sneered."Xenon Uba, you can have any woman you want. Why did you do that to me? Don't you find it..."Miya wanted to say 'disgusting,' but she thoughtbetter off and rephrased, "Don't you think you deserve better?"Xenon glared at her. "Don't tell me you didn't enjoy it. You were moaning aloud." He got up and walked to the bathroom. "Ask the maid to come and change the beddings. Don't forget to take the pills."Miya heard the bathroom

Miya looked up and saw him looking at her neck. Subconsciously, she put her hand on it, trying to cover the marks.Xenon frowned and suddenly swept her hand away and stroked her neck rather violently. "Why are you trying to hide them?" He questioned."I.." Miya muttered."Don't you try to be smart?" Xenon snapped. "Whoever betrays me suffers the worst consequence.""I never have the intention of betraying you at all.""Good. And pray that your body still interests me.""I will. I shall try my best to please you,"“Before I get tired of you and kick you out, your body and your heart belong to me only! I'm a possessive person. I don't like to share my properties. Do you understand clearly ?"You are a tyrant. Miya thought. Do you even want my heart?! Huh! With hesitation and reluctance, Miya nodded. Xenon sensed her reluctance and quickly grabbed her chin with his hand angrily."What's that look for? Are you thinking of some other man in your heart?" He asked.Frightened, Miya shook h

She wiped the tears, cleaned off her face, and walked into the bathroom to re-apply some make-up to help disguise her. tiredness. Yet, it didn't help much.As she walked out of the bathroom, disheartened, she aight a glimpse of a familiar figure standing on the stairs by the fire door.She knitted her brows. It was. Jameson Uba, leaning one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket. He was looking out of the window absent-mindedly.A young and slim girl wearing sunglasses was standing next to him. She seemed to be speaking to him, but Jameson didn't seem interested. Suddenly, Miya recognized the girl. isn't she Sophia Moore?! Daughter of the American Mafia boss and younger sister of Jake Moore, who is said to be the best looking man of the year.As soon as Miya recognized them, she looked away, hoping to sneak away. I'd better stay away from these two! She thought. However, she wasn't quick enough. "Isn't that my sister-in-law? Why? Are you running away? Do Mrs. Moore and I frigh

"I wonder how Miya managed to seduce Mr. Xenon Uba!""Well, she's definitely a bold one. She just slapped Miss Sophia Moore! I wonder whose side Mr. Xenon Uba will stand on.""Miss. Sophia Moore, of course! I mean, who has the guts to anger The Moore’s family?.”"But isn't Miya now Mrs. Uba? Surely, Mr. XenonUba will support his wife...""Hush...t's Mr. Xenon Uba. Hush.."The crowd wère murmuring and gossiping with excitement, but as soon as they saw Xenon coming, they hurried away.Miya didn't see Xenon coming from behind, but Jameson and Sophia did. Jameson stayed andwatched indifferently while Sophia was curious to know how Xenon would react.Seeing that Miya didn't know he was behind her, Xenon stopped and gestured to Levi and hisbodyguards to stop as well. He wanted to see how Miya would deal with it.Miya could sense that something was up. The crowd had left. Perhaps they don't want to get involved, which is unae iandable. Miya thought.She wanted to get back to work soon as

His breathing, as well as his words, made Miya blush. She felt a sense of pleasure and embarrassment. Levi and the bodyguards must have heard! She thought.Miya buried her face on his chest, too embarrassed to look at others. In fact, no one was looking at them at all. They were either looking up at the ceiling or down on the floor.They knew well enough when not to interfere. Xenon grabbed Miya's chin and lifted her face up, "I still remember clearly what happened this morning. You are the very first person who has the guts to confront me and speak to me like that."To her own surprise, Miya replied, "What about those that went behind your back?" She regretted it as soon as she said it.Xenon's face turned stern, then he sneered, "Ha-ha. Dead." He said briefly. It sent a shiver down Miya's spine."Thanks for sparing me," Miya said timidly. The door opened, and she scurried away. "Have a nice day." She hurried back to her seat, where she felt the safest.As usual, all the other secre

Since she was little, Jodie hated to see people being bullied or taken advantage of. She had always wanted to protect those in need.Miya was her best friend from childhood, and surely she wouldn’t want anyone to treat Miyabadly. Just as she was speaking with enthusiasm, she suddenly looked terrified and turned around.Confused and shocked, Miya asked. "What's the matter, Jodie?""He, err, he's here." Jodie stuttered.Miya turned around and noticed that the bustling canteen had suddenly turned silent, and everyone was looking towards the door. It was Sean Smith walking in with the company of a few bodyguards. He had a subtle and gentle smile on.Smartly and neatly dressed, he looked elegant, successful, and there's an air of authority abouthim. His charm was different from Xenon's distant feel nor Jameson's carefree playfulness, but he was not a bit less charming than either of them.It was apparent that people were looking at him with admiration. Before Jodie could hide under thet

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
