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

There was apparent mockery as well as jealousy in their tones, in their laughs. They all despised her. Miya heard pretty much all that they said, yet she remained quiet and pretended that she had not heard anything.When it was about clock out time, it suddenly went quiet in the office. Miya was working on an interior design sketch when she realized the sudden silence. She looked up from her laptop and saw Xenon coming. Everyone greeted courteously, "Good afternoon, Mr. Xenon Uba."Miya stood up immediately and accidentally bumped her knees at the leg of the table. "Ouch." she cursed quietly.Xenon stood by the door, a hand in his pocket, and looked at Miya coldly. No one dared to look at him directly except Miya, and Miya noticed the awkward silence and intention. She opened her mouth as if to say something but didn't know what to say.Xenon beckoned Miya and turned around to leave.Without hesitation, Miya hurried after him.When she followed

"Good to know," Xenon replied plainly. Then he handed a little box to her. "Put it on.""Huh?" Miya was startled."Open it.Miya opened it, saw the silver ring studded with a big pink diamond, and stared at Xenon open -mouthed. It must be worth millions! And the design is beautiful. Miya thought. She noticed the letter K carved on the ring and put it on her ring finger.Thank you." Miya said with a smile, then she thought of something and asked, "What about yours?""Huh. Why would you think I should wear one?" Xenon said with a sneer."I thought you would kneel down to propose. Isn't that the usual way?" Miya said with a grin."Who do you think you are? You are asking me to kneel down before you?!" Xenon almost exclaimed"I was just joking. We are married,after all." Miya muttered timidly. "Give it back to me if you don'twant it," Xenon said coldly."Of course I want it. I like it very much." Miya replied immediately."Then don't complain.""I won't." Miya pouted her lips and thought

Sitting next to him was an elegantly dressed beautiful lady, who must be in her seventies, butlooked only around fifty years old.Her hair had also turned gray, but she looked bright and healthy.Xenon was sitting next to his grandfather, both appeared emotionless. They look so alike. Miya thought, not just their face, but also the way they carry themselves.Benjamin opened his eyes wide at the sight of Miya, but he quickly resumed his cold andemotionless look. She looks just like Sol Keaton! He thought. He wasn't pleased with it at all.Miya noticed the change on Benjamin's face and her heart sank. She glanced at senior Mrs.Uba, who looked at Miya coldly and quickly turned toJameson with a smile. "Jameson, i've missed you so much." She beckoned him. "I wish you could come to visit more often. Why don't we get together every week instead?"Jameson wènt over and gave her a hug. "| I miss you too." He said gently. It was obvious that she had completely ignored Miya.Miya hesitated. Sh

Sophia came over and stood next to Mrs. Uba and placed her hands on Mrs. Uba's shoulders to show how close they were. "Sue, I've met her a few times. I'm rather confused and surprised how she is now Xenon's wife,I have to say. I mean, just a month ago, she was engaged to Luke Johnson, and she was his private and special assistant, helping to get contracts signed byseducing their potential business partners. Thèn suddenly, she and Xenon are married. I'm reallycurious about how she did it."On hearing this, Sue Uba was shocked. She frowned at Miya and questioned, "What sort of life were you living?"Miya wasn't stupid. She knew what Sophia was doing. Though angered, she composed herselfand said calmly, "Luke and I had a talk, and both agreed that it's better we separate. It was thepast anyway. I'm now married to Xenon, and I'm content and honored to be his wife."Xenon liked Miya's response, and he joined in supportively."Mama, let the past be the past. Miya was unlucky to have met

Miya recalled what Jodie had suggested to her. I should show her i'm not just a meek little lamb,or I will just get bullied. I have to put up with Xenon and his grandparents just because Xenonis paying for mum's treatment, but I don't have to put up with her!"Don't you threaten me with my mother!" Miya suddenly picked up a knife on the table andpointed it at Sophia. "If you ever hurt my mother, as long as l live, I will slice your facę and take revenge!"Frightened, Sophia staggered and stared at Miya open-mouthed. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had been brought up spoiled by her brother and father. No one ever dared to say no to her. Miya was the first person that ever challenged her. Just as she was to shout back at Miya, she noticed Xenon hadi just arrived, standing at the door. Immediately, she changed her attitude again and spoke gently, "It takes patience and love to cook, especiąlly for someone we love. It's ok that you don't know how to cook.I can show

Sophia said with a smile, "Miya, you seem very shy. Just make yourself at home. Here, would you like some chicken soup?" She passed the plate of salad to Miya."I'm ok. Thanks." Miya said plainly."Aha. This is Xenon's favorite dish, so you two don't have the same taste, I suppose. That's not fun living together then." Sophia commented with sarcasm."Why? The difference makes it even more fun. It creates diversity." Again, plainly Miya replied.A few times, Sophia tried to bring up a topic, but Miya responded without any enthusiasm as shehad to avoid falling into any of Sophia's tricks. However, her lack of response and enthusiasmdispleased Sue even more. Benjamin didn't say anything either, nor did he try any of the food except a small bite of salad.Sue nudged Sophia gently, and Sophia scoopeda small bowl of curry for Xenon. "Thịs is for you, Xenon." She said with a bright smile. Xenon nodded, but he didn't touch the food at all.Miya noticed and thought it's obvious that Xenon do

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
