However, her husband wasn't the most generous sort and didn't like Rebecca going shopping. The only time he would buy her presents like jewelry were on her birthday, Christmas, and their anniversary day. Rebecca wasn't pleased with it all.On hearing that Tiffany was enjoying herself shopping, spending her grandson's money, she was even more upset.As expected, Rebecca said angrily, "Has hè forgotten his grandma?! Huh! Now that he's got money”. Miya comforted gently, "Don't be upset, please, Rebecca. I'm sure he will think of you later."Rebecca heaved a sigh and said in a pretentious tone, "Miya, you are such a good girl. You wereso nice to me. You rarely spent money on yourself, but would buy me lots of presents. It's such a shame that you and Luke.."Brianina sneered quietly and said, "Ah, don't feel sorry, please. I'm grateful that Luke broke up withme actually, or would not be with Xenon now.""Xenon?"Yes. I'm married to Xenon Uba.""Xenon Uba! My gosh. That's wonderful! You

"Don't go to see anyone from the Johnson again, especially that asshole," Xenon said sternly. "I needed to find proof..." "I got it six hours ago," Xenon said. "Huh?" Miya exclaimed in disbelief. "How?" "Easy. I hired a gorgeous woman to seduce him. She got him drunk and found the deleted photos in his phone." "Impressive." Miya heaved a sigh. "It took me the whole day. I've even spent seven thousand dollars to please his grandmother to get her to trust me." "Aren't you stupid?" Xenon mocked. "I am." Miya muttered, then timidly, she added, "Is it possible that I can have the money reimbursed?" "Impossible." "But I did it only because I wanted to help you." "To help me? Whose fault is it that you had your design stolen, huh?" Miya was speechless. She was now worried about the payment of her mum's treatment next month's treatment. The money Xenon gave her wasn't even enough to cover the cost of the necklace she paid for Rebecca.Then, Xenon said with a cheeky smile, "Well, yo

Miya blushed and said, "It won't happen again." Xenon put the paper down, and they ate quietly. There was something on Miya's mind, and she finally plucked up the courage to ask. "Xenon, I've been wondering if you can help me delete those photos and videos. I'm worried that if my mum sees..." "You've done your shit, and now you want me to clean your a.s.s for you?" Xenon said rudely. "I..." Xenon threw an icy look at Miya, and she went quiet. She took a look at the beautifully prepared food on the table but got no appetite for it anymore. Xenon didn't speak again till he finished eating, taking his time. "I've moved your mum to a new place, a garden, quiet and safe. She can recover there while looking after plants. She will get paid. The few gardeners that work there will take care of her. I've also sent two bodyguards to keep her safe. There's no internet or TV, but there's a big study with books and a piano as well as an art studio."Miya listened and gazed at Xenon. She could

Xenon gave it a thought and let go of her chin. "Alright. It's up to you. You can decide what to wear and what car you want to drive, but on formal occasions, you have to wear what I bought you. I will give you another card for shopping. With the old card, you can save money for your studio." Miya looked at Xenon gratefully and said sincerely, "Thanks so much, Xenon." During the lunch break, Miya went to Xenon's office as requested to give him a massage as usual, but Xenon simply said, "Let's go." "Huh? Where to?" Miya looked at him, confused. "Didn't you say you want to choose your own clothing? I will go with you once just to make sure you aren't buying anything too ridiculous." "Ah. I see." Miya was very surprised. It was very unusual that Xenon would have time to go shopping with Miya when he was always so busy with work. She felt somehow touched as well as shocked. *** X Center was the biggest shopping center in town, a grand building of eighteen floors. From the first to

On hearing this, Miya couldn't help feeling unjust. She and Luke had known each other since childhood, but ever since Miya's father died, he never bought her any presents anymore except something cheap on her birthdays. Yet, he's been so generous with those girls he's slept with! Subconsciously, Miya clenched her fists, and she resented them. However, Xenon appeared as if he had not seen them at all. He walked past them, holding Miya's hand, without taking a look at them. Miya followed quietly.Seeing the bodyguards carrying all those expensive bags of luxury behind Miya, Tiffany couldn't help feeling jealous. "Miya." "Alright, Tiffany." Miya turned around and looked at her with a sneer. "Every time I see you, I can't help recalling our encounter in your café."Tiffany glared at Miya, but seeing Xenon holding Miya's hand, she retorted with a mocking smile, "Ha. I wonder how long you can last. I thought Mr. Xenon Uba got tired of you."Miya smiled proudly and said, "Well, I'm a luck

At noon, Miya had knocked at his office door twice, asking if he would like tea or a massage, but Xenon refused. He's so moody. I just can't understand. She thought. I might as well make good use of the time and focus on my design then.Miya majored in interior design at university and self-learned jewelry design for some time. Now that she had the chance to realize her dream through the help of The Uba Corporation, she knew she had to learn more about jewelry design.She made herself a cup of coffee, put her headphones on, and listened to Kate Bush while going through The Collection of Top Jewel Design. *** With extra effort, Miya prepared dinner, hoping to cheer Xenon up. However, Xenon sat by the table with a sulking face and wouldn't even take a look at Miya despite the beautifully presented food. Miya spoke to him with a smile, but he made no reply. Frustrated, Miya cursed silently, he's so moody and childish! I have spent extra time preparing dinner for him, and he won't eve

It was a young girl, probably eighteen years old, in a white dress, with long straight hair. She was smiling sweetly. She's like a fairy. Beautiful and innocent. Miya thought. She was shocked at how alike they looked as well as the unexpected feeling of jealousy she had. She must be Sol.To divert her thought and feeling, she clicked open the browser, thinking of having a look at the news. To her dismay, pictures and videos of her were all over the front page.They accused her as a shameless s.l.u.t; that her mother had a heart attack at finding out what she did, that she had no friends for her notorious reputation, that only those rich old men would use her for p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.Shit! Shit! Miya cursed angrily. Why the hell did he do that?! Asshole! And I'm trying to forgive him! Obviously, Luke was determined to bring her down. Angered and frustrated, Miya rushed to the bathroom, thinking of asking Xenon for help, only to see the door ajar and Xenon n.a.k.e.d in the shower. The tw

On hearing so and recalling the ridiculous accusation in the news, Miya said with determination, "I'd love to take the challenge." "Great." Sally smiled. "But I'm not sure I can give you a design you like." "I'm willing to take the risk." Then Xenon added, "I will take the responsibility." Miya looked at him with gratitude. "Thank you." She said sincerely to both Sally and Xenon. *** Feeling supported, Miya had much more confidence. She observed Sally's attire and manner while dining and asked a few questions about her and her husband casually to get to know what they liked. Before they parted, Sally handed Miya a file with some doc.u.ments related to the design of the pendant for reference.Xenon and Miya went back to the office, and just as Miya sat back down by her desk, Levi came over. He spoke quietly but seriously, "Mrs. Miya Uba, Streep Crystal is one of the four biggest companies in the jewelry industry. Mrs. Sally Streep is no doubt a very important client. Even Rare

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
