Chris peeled the skin off an orange with a knife swiftly and perfectly. The skin stayed as one piece and curled back up in an orange shape as if it was intact. "Want some?" He handed Miya a piece. Miya had not seen anyone except her mother do it so perfectly. He was even better than Miya herself. She was obviously shocked and impressed, yet at the same time, she felt scared. He's not the usual one. She thought and had lost her appetite for anything.He's merciless, even more than Xenon. He looks so gentle and charming, but he has no pity for those guys at all. What if I anger him one day, and he will probably peel my skin off perfectly! Miya stared at him quietly. Chris seemed to have guessed her thoughts. He said with a grin, "You are thinking too much. Don't you worry? I only treat certain men with cruelty. Women are to be loved." Miya tried to stay as calm as she could and accepted the orange. "Thanks." She took a small bite and watched him now and then.Chris met her gaze and

"I stayed at the man's place for three days and only just woke up a couple of hours ago. I came back as soon as I woke up." Miya replied honestly. "Where does he live?" "I don't know," Miya said plainly. "Ha. You don't know?! You lived there for three days, and you don't know where he lives? Don't you know how to tell a better lie? Xenon went to the bar to look for you, but you left with that mysterious man. And you were gone for three days without any news. Don't you remember that you are Xenon's wife? Or you simply don't care and sleep with any man you want?" Miya glared at Sophia and retorted immediately, "Sophia, don't you speak nonsense. Nothing happened between him and me. He helped me, and that was it.""Then, why won't you tell us where he lives? You are worried that Xenon will go look for him and find out what has happened between you two, aren't you?""Sophia, not everyone is a s.l.u.t or a liar like you. I've done nothing indecent." Miya said, looking at Sophia and Xeno

Xenon went to the bar in person that night but couldn't find any traces of the man. No one knew anything about him. He had someone to investigate and search in the past three days but couldn't find anything. He had a feeling that the guy might be related to Rare Gem, or Rare Gem was simply part of his property. The guy might have even planned the whole incident and showed up as a savior to help Miya, to find out what Miya meant to Xenon so that he could use her better in the future.This was just Xenon's presumption now. He couldn't prove it yet, and he didn't want to tell Miya in case it worried her. A week later, Sally Streep rang Miya in the afternoon one day, saying that she had received the necklace and earrings. She was very pleased with them and would love to meet Miya in person to say thank you.Xenon agreed when Miya asked for leave to meet Sally at the French Café as Streep Crystal was an important client.While Miya was walking down the road to the café, a car pulled over

She then realized that she had been shocked and absent-minded. She heaved a sigh. Why should I care? I'm merely a replacement for him anyway. Who am I to question him? Who am I to interfere? It doesn't matter who he's seeing.She looked out of the window, deep in thought, and didn't even notice the waiter cleaning the floor. It was only when Sally sat down opposite her and knocked at the table did she get her mind out of her deep thoughts. "Daydreaming?" Sally smiled at Miya. "Yeah. Sorry, I didn't see you coming." Miya smiled apologetically. "It's alright. I love daydreaming now and then. I find it rather therapeutic." Sally said.The two chatted casually for a while, then Sally took out a little box from her bag and handed it to Miya. "Here's a crystal I got from an auction a few days ago. What do you think? I would like you to design something for me if you are interested." Miya took the box, opened it gently, and saw a beautiful navy blue crystal sparkling in the daylight. S

Aren't you going home?" "No, not tonight. I don't have a home anyway." "Why? Did you two argue?" "Xenon and I? How dare I argue with him!" Miya pouted her lips. "Ha. Poor thing. I can shelter you tonight if you don't mind."Miya was surprised by the offer, and she shook her head. "Thanks, but I will just get a hotel room." "Are you worried that I will take advantage of you? Ha. I'm very picky with women. For now, it's just your face that I like about you. Ha-ha." Chris chuckled.It's the same reason why Xenon took me in! I hate to be a replacement. Miya thought. She said impatiently, "I'm not worried. Thanks for your kind offer, but I'd rather stay at a hotel." She downed her drink and stood up to leave.However, just as she stepped out into the alley, it started pouring down. Chris grabbed her arm and led her to his car. It was raining heavily. Miya didn't really want to get wet, and she followed Chris. Feeling tipsy, she closed her eyes and soon fell asleep in the car.When s

Miya walked in gingerly, glanced around, and noticed that the deco was very different from Xenon's. Xenon much preferred dark colors while Chris was the opposite. "Chris, I have to go. Thanks for accommodating me last night. I am so grateful you let me stay here," Miya said politely.No problem. I will let the driver know." Chris smiled.Miya nodded and said goodbye. As expected, they covered her eyes again and put the same music on in the car. The driver dropped her off at the same spot, outside the French Café.She turned around to check the plate number after getting out of the car, but only to see that it had been covered. Such a mysterious person! Miya thought and hurried to the company. *** It was around eleven o'clock when Miya got to the office. She noticed that people were looking at her in a strange way which made her feel guilty. She had not been to the office for a while. Surely people were jealous of her and were judging her, thinking that she didn't have to work anymo

Suddenly, Xenon stood before her, grabbed her hand tight, pulled her up, and dragged her to the massage room. Miya tried to free herself, but Xenon tightened his grip, and angrily, he lifted her up and carried her on his shoulder. Ignoring Lucia, who was stunned by Xenon's abrupt wild reaction. It took Lucia a while to realize what was happening. She hurried after them, calling Xenon. Just as she was about to follow them into the room, Xenon kicked the door shut, and Lucia was left outside in the office.Xenon threw Miya onto the bed. His anger and jealousy filled his mind and would spare Miya right at this moment. Terrified, Miya curled up in the corner of the bed. Xenon went close to her and grabbed her chin tight, his brows knitted, and his eyes were speaking with anger. Miya trembled with fear.He pulled her face closer, almost touching his, staring at her furiously. Then he said with a sneer. "Now that you have found a new "employer" you have the guts to be insolent to Lucia.

Miya woke up to find herself lying in a room with white walls and the noticeable scent of disinfectant. She moved her hands and felt something flurry. Startled, she turned aside to see Xenon sitting by the bed, his head resting on the duvet, asleep with a frown between his brows. The morning sunlight shone through the big window and spread upon his most charming face. He looked tired and worried, even in his sleep.Didn't he humiliate me, insult me and ask me to f.u.c.k off? What is he doing here then? Miya thought and retreated her hand. Yet as she moved, though just slightly, she felt a sharp pain all over her body, especially her head. She let out a stifled scream of pain.Xenon woke up, rubbed his temples a bit, and said, "It looks like you do want to live. I thought you wanted to end your life then." "Why would I want to end my life?" "Why the hell did you throw yourself down the stairs then?" Miya rolled her eyes and heaved a sigh. "Lucia pushed me." "She would never do tha

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
