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

If I leave him, then all that I've earned now would be gone. I'm still dependent on him. Miya thought to herself and took a look at Xenon, almost a head taller than her, standing next to her with unchanging confidence. She clenched her fists and told herself that one day she would be as confident and independent as him, and she would have her own freedom. As they reached the secretaries' office, Miya was to head towards her desk, but Xenon took her hand.Huh? Xenon, I should go and work. I don't want people to think that I'm useless and I get paid for doing nothing." Miya said. "There will always be people that are jealous of your talent as well as the fact that you are my wife. There will always be gossip and rumors. From now on, you work in my office." Xenon said clearly."Huh? That will only make them gossip more!" Miya stared at him. "Do you actually care about stupid people's opinions?" Xenon sneered. "You are my personal assistant anyway. Also, the projects you are in charge

Miya knitted her brows and asked worriedly, "Have you got any clue who it might be that they are working for? Who is it that wants to harm you?" "We will find out soon. When he grows impatient, he will show up." Xenon said calmly.Hmm. It looks like you have a plan, and I'm just worrying too much." "They are probably still using your ex, Luke Johnson. If I finish him off, will you be upset?" Xenon asked. Miya paused, shocked by Xenon's question. "Xenon, do you, do you have to..."Xenon turned around and looked at Miya sternly. Why? You still have feelings for him, don't you? Huh? Despite the fact that he's used you, dumbed you, and now he's trying to steal your customers again." "No, I don't have feelings for him." Miya retorted, then she hesitated for a bit before she added. "If he hadn't taken the risk of losing his own life and pushed me off the road, I would have probably gotten run over and died. I was just a little girl then. He has once saved my life after all."Xenon was r

Mr. Jordan, I think perhaps you can also get your daughters a present as well? Girls seem to understand their mother better, and if you can win your children's trust first, then surely they will help talk to their mother, and perhaps your wife will forgive you eventually, and you can be together again." Miya suggested sincerely. Andy's face lit up. "Right. Why didn't I think about that? Thanks for your suggestion. I wonder if you have any ideas about the design?""I'd suggest matching earrings with a necklace that is slightly different for each of them, depending on what they like. It shows that you love them as a whole, and you cherish them each as individuals as you know what they like respectively."Andy was excited to hear Miya's suggestion. He was almost in tears as if someone had finally given him hope. He held Miya's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you, Mrs. Miya Uba. I look forward to seeing your design.""I will try my best. Please send me more details about what your wife

At ten to nine, Miya opened Xenon's door. As soon as she stepped in, she smelled a new scent that was very floral and rather intense. It wasn't Xenon's for sure. She walked in to see Lucia in an almost see-through nightgown lying on Xenon's bed in a most flirtatious pose, revealing her long slim legs and b.a.r.e shoulders. Their eyes met, and Lucia looked Miya up and down with disdain. "Look how seductive you look! I knew you are just a s.l.u.t pretending to be presentable in public." She commented.Miya rolled her eyes and ignored her. She went and sat down on the sofa, took out her phone to have a look at some classic jewel designs online.Enraged by Miya's indifference, Lucia got out of bed, went over to Miya, snatched her phone from her hand, and threw it onto the floor. She looked down at Miya with her chin up and arms crossed. "Bitch, get out of Xenon's room! How disgustingly s.l.u.tty you look in that dress!"Miya sneered and said indifferently, "I'm his wife, and I shall fulf

She's an orphan. I'm her only family. I have spoiled her, and she's very dependent on me. Normally, she feels jealous." "Why don't you marry her then? You care about her, and she definitely wants you. Isn't that perfect?!" Xenon turned her around and rested her head on his t.h.i.g.h, then he lifted her chin up and watched her tearful eyes and rosy red nose. He chuckled. "Are you jealous?"Jealous? Huh. I just feel sorry for myself. She got what she asked for, and you are here telling me off. You know what, I bet even if she kills me one day, you won't even care." Miya said with her eyes closed, refusing to look at him. Tears ran down her cheeks, and they seemed nonstop.Xenon heaved a sigh and wiped the tears off her cheeks gently. "Alright, l forgive you for beating Lucia, but you have to apologize to her and promise that you won't hurt her again.Now, Miya was enraged, she opened her eyes and glared at Xenon. "Why?! She started it! Look at the scratches on me! And she even pulled

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
