"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
"Scared? Then leave Xenon. You are just a nobody girl. You don't deserve to be with Xenon." "So what, I'm still the one that kisses him, sleeps with him every night while you, evil and possessive, will never know how good he's in bed. Ha-ha." Miya retorted.Stupid bitch!" Lucia barked and lifted her arm up, intending to hit Miya. "Why? Am I not injured badly enough? Huh?" Miya lifted her chin up and stared at Lucia. Lucia hesitated, thinking that Xenon would probably find out if she beat Miya.She put her hand down and, glaring at Miya, said with a sneer, "Bitch, you are just a replacement merely because you look at Sol. When Xenon gets tired of you, he will dump you immediately. Or when Sol comes back, you will be forgotten. You can't be Mrs. Uba forever!""What matters is that I AM Mrs. Uba Now," Miya said with a smile while reaching the glass on the table by the bed. She had a sip of water and held the glass in her hands. "I don't know if I can be Xenon's wife forever, but I'm su
