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

Xenon seemed a bit startled, then he wrapped his arms around her gently. Miya relaxed in his embrace. She felt safe, with her head resting on his c.h.e.s.t, and she loved the pleasant scent he had. To her own surprise, she asked, "Xenon, do you think you will ever fall in love with me?" Xenon lifted Miya's chin up with his long slim fingers, looked at her into her eyes, and chuckled. "You wish. Ha-ha." Miya felt a sharp and sudden pain in her heart, but she recomposed herself quickly and chuckled with him. "I was just joking.""Don't forget that I purchased you. You are just a replacement. Don't start any ridiculous fantasy." Miya nodded. She bit her lips slightly and said, "I won't forget. Don't worry. I won't fall in love with you, nor would I have any unrealistic thoughts about us.""Right." Xenon released her, turned around, and left. Miya sat back in the bath, closed her eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks. Just then, Xenon suddenly turned around as he closed the door behin

Lucia's birthday party was held at Fun Gate, the best-known hotel near the campus. It had the best buffet and a spacious dance floor, perfect for parties. When Xenon and Miya arrived at the party, though both were rather casually dressed, everyone gazed at them, amazed by how good-looking and fit they both were, especially Xenon. As the youngest CEO and billionaire in the States, Xenon had been invited to all sorts of important events and parties, but he had rarely attended any.Now, he was actually at a birthday party thrown by a group of university students. They applauded and whistled with excitement. Some girls were blushing obviously at the sight of Xenon.Lucia glanced around at her classmates, feeling extremely proud, pleased with their reaction. Then her eyes fell on Miya's hand around Xenon's arm, and she looked angry but worried that Xenon would notice, she quickly looked away and ran over to Xenon with a happy smile. "Xenon, I'm so happy you can come!"Then, to Miya's surp

"What's the line? I have no intention of hurting her. That's all I can say." Miya knew that Xenon and Lucia had known each other for years, and he cared about her very much. Lucia had planned it, and she had support from her classmates. The only hope Miya had was that Xenon would trust her.However, all she saw in Xenon's look was hatred and impatience. She didn't want to explain anymore. "If you do think I'm an evil person, then there's no need to go on with this pathetic acting game between us as husband and wife. Please send a divorce letter soon." She said clearly and turned to leave."Don't you talk to me like that!" Xenon shouted at her, but Miya ignored him. She quickly hailed a taxi, got in, and gave the driver a random direction.Tears streamed down her cheeks as she recalled how Xenon had treated her. Like he has said more than once that I'm just a possession, a replacement to him. Lucia is his precious little sister. How happy he looks when he smiles at her! How genuine an

After breakfast, Miya decided she should leave. "Chris, thanks again for having me here. You must be busy, and I shouldn't bother you any longer. I shall leave now." Chris smiled and nodded. "Cool, I will tell the driver."It's ok. I would like to have a walk and get a taxi later." Miya said. "If that's ok." She added. "If you don't want to go back to him, you are welcome here anytime. Just send me a message, and I will send a driver to pick you up." "Thanks." *** Chris's driver dropped Miya off a few minutes' drive away from the house and took the cover off her eyes. Miya looked around and had no clue where she was. It made her think, again, that Chris definitely wanted something from her. The only reason that I can be valuable to people is that I'm Mrs. Uba, but everyone knows it's fake. Xenon doesn't care about me. He is just using me. Miya thought. What does Chris want from me then?Walking down the road, not knowing where to go, Miya felt helpless. Chris can't be trusted.

Miya stared at Xenon in surprise. To make it up to me? Did he say that? "Tell me. What do you want?" Xenon asked. Everything I have is his. All the clothes, jewelry, shoes, and bags. What else can I ask him for material-wise? She could have killed me, pushing down the stairs. How does he make it up? Miya thought. "She's your precious princess. Why would you want to make it up to me?" Miya said.Xenon carried her up to his room and sat her down on the sofa. He stood by the window and lit another cigarette. "Don't sulk anymore." He said. Miya thought for a while before she said, "So, I can ask for anything?"Xenon went and stood in front of her. He tapped on her lips gently with his long slim finger and said, "Anything except leaving me."Miya opened her eyes wide, startled. He has guessed my thoughts again. She didn't want to be around him and be controlled anymore. She thought about the women that would fight desperately to be with him and how insecure her life was simply because

After dinner, Miya stayed in the study, sketching the new designs. She felt motivated after listening to Alex's advice. As she lay down in bed later that night, she thought about her plans for the future. I need to make good use of this opportunity. With the support of The Uba Corporation, I shall build my reputation, become financially independent as soon as possible, buy my own house, have my own studio and take mum home.The next morning, Miya got up early and gave Xenon a quick call, asking if he would like her to cook breakfast for him. Xenon muttered a sound like a brief and cold 'hmm' and hung up.Hmm? What does that mean? He doesn't change. Miya thought and rolled her eyes. Then, she went down to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Just as it was ready, Xenon came into the dining room. Miya took a glance at him, and without a word, she dug in. Xenon frowned and asked, "Didn't you prepare it for me? And you are not even sharing now?""Well, you didn't say 'yes' on the phone." M

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
