"Tiffany Agabus, I'm not asking you!" Miya retorted without taking a look at her but kept her eyes fixed on Luke. "Luke, I really need the money now. I will pay you back as soon as I make any."

Luke looked rather awkward, "Miya, you know how the Company is doing it now. If it's a few thousand dollars, I can help you, but fifty thousand! How do l get you that much money?”

Fortune Construction Company was expanding and did need money for new investments.

Though fifty thousand dollars wasn't a casual amount, it wasn't a large sum for Luke either. If he really wanted to help, it wasn't a problem at all.

Miya tried to reach Luke's arm, but Luke slapped her hand away and shouted at her, "Enough! Don't make me despise you."

Miya stumbled and fell over, the pain was so sharp that she finally broke down, crying, "Luke..."

However, Luke ignored her completely and turned around to leave. Miya quickly got herself up and stumbled towards him, finally managing to hold onto his leg. "Luke, please... Please help my mum. I will pay you back. I Swear..."

"Pay me back? How? Without me, you and your mother can't even survive, let alone making money for the surgery." Luke looked at Miya up and down and added, "Miya, you know what, if you do what say, you won't need to

worry about money. Take it as a compliment. If you help me get the contrast signed with Xenon

Uba, I will give you one million, and I will make sure your mother gets the best treatment."

This is the man I've been with for so many years? How can he say this to me?! Miya stared at Luke and suddenly found herself. looking at a strange face. The gentleness and affection she used to see had completely vanished. She let go of his leg and collapsed onto the ground.

Luke and Tiffany walked into the house without taking another look at Miya.

Xenon had been in the car parked in the distance, watching Miya. He had been trying to calm his wolf down from taking over or he would tear Luke into pieces. Xenon glanced at his Beta Levi, and Levi got out of the car at once.

He walked towards Miya, holding an umbrella. "Miya Benjamin, if you agree to be his

Woman and do whatever he wants, then he will find your mother the best doctor and get her the best treatment and cover all the cost."

"'I am not a toy. I'm not his possession! I will pay him back!" Miya crięd.

Levi sighted as he stared at the stubborn woman. Humans! He will never understand their way of thinking.

"Miya Benjamin, to be honest with you, it's rare that Mr. Xenon Uba finds a woman that he's interested in, but when he does, he's sure to have her. Also, if you don't do what he wants, I can. assure you that you won't be able to find a job." Levi persuaded.

Although Miya wanted to retort, she knew deep in her heart that she could do nothing about

Levi's threat. Slowly, she got up and followed Levi to the car.

When they arrived at Xenon's villa,

"Get a hot bath and get changed," Xenon ordered.

Miya shivered and stood still. Is he asking me to sleep with him tonight?

Xenon seemed to have guessed her thoughts, "I don't force a woman to have sex with me, especially someone who's injured. It won't be fun anyway."

Relieved, Miya went for a bath and got changed. After that, Miya decided to go to see her mother. Just as she went downstairs, Xenon called after her,

"Miya Benjamin, from head to toe, every part of you belongs to me now. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere."

From head to toe?! Isn't he a tyrant? Miya thought, but she dared not to object, for he somehow carried such an irresistible air of authority.

"I'm just thinking of going to see my mum." She

replied meekly.

"Your job is to please me. You don't need to worry about your mother."

"But she's my mum. I'm her only family..." Tears started to fill Miya's eyes again.

Impatiently, Xenon answers, "Alright, alright. You can visit her once a week, and you completely

belong to me except this once a week"

"Can I live with my mum?" Miya pleaded, and Xenon replied with a sneer."You have sold yourself to me, Miya Benjamin. Are you trying to bargain with me? Also, you are not allowed to see that dumbass Luke Johnson again."

"Why? Xenon Uba, you.."

"You know he's an asshole anyway. Why would you want to see him again?" Xenon retorted sharply.

"He is..He.." Miya hesitated, and tears filled her eyes.

"He's an asshole," Xenon added.

"When I was ten years old, he saved me and ended up in the. hospital for a few months. He and his family have been very kind to me, and in the past years, he has been paying for my mum's treatment... It's been so many years, and I.."

"What I know is that because he saved you, your father treated him and his family very well, too well perhaps. Your father made his father the boss of a construction company out of a labor worker. When your father died, and your

mother was seriously injured, your family's company went bankrupt, and you gave all the money that your father saved for you to that

asshole's father for expanding their company. Now that their company has grown, they have all

sorts of excuses not to give you the money for your mother's surgery."

"Did you investigate me?!" Miya was shocked, hearing Xenon speaking the cruel truth.

"Shouldn't I know what I'm buying before I make the purchase?"

Xenon replied matter-of-factly. Miya looked down onto the floor and said helplessly, "Sure."

Xenon glanced at Levi, and Levi said to Miya, "Miya Benjamin, I have something to show you, and you will know what a real man. Luke Johnson is."

It was a video recording of Luke having sex with a girl.

"This happened on the same night when he drugged you and used you as bait to seduce Mr Agabus. If Mr. Xenon Uba didn't take yoụ to the hotel room, surely you know what Mr Agabus would have done to you.." Levi explained.

Miya found it impossible to believe that the man in the video was the same man she was in love with all these years.

"Miya Benjamin, you probably have no idea at all, but this stingy asshole is actually very generous to his women. He's only stingy to you and your mother." Levi added.

Miya closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face, which annoyed Xenon. He held her chin tighter again and said, "How pathetic are you?! Why are you? even crying for that asshole ?!"

Miya sobbed, "Right! I'm pathetic! What about you?! You bought me with money! What

Does that say anything about you?" she retorted without thinking, yet she regretted it right afterward. She was scared.

As expected, Xenon Uba's face turned stern immediately. He was furious. He lifted his arm up,

about to slap Miya, but Miya raised her arm up instinctively, and Xenon caught sight of her

injured right hand. He heaved a sigh, and the angry feeling seemed to disappear. He said

patiently, "I don't like to see women cry."

"Don't look at me then." Miya retorted.

Xenon sneered and gripped her chin even tighter. "Miya Benjamin, you think too much of yourself, don't you? You are shouting at me for an asshole?! You wanna die?"

"No, I don't!" Miya said subconsciously, then she thought of her mother in the hospital and

regretted what she had just said. Meekly, she added, "I'm sorry. I should not have spoken to you like this. It won't happen again."

Xenon took a thoughtful look at her and went upstairs to his bedroom.

Miya hesitated for a bit, then followed Xenon upstairs, but she stayed in the room next door.

It was still early morning, and Miya was asleep when the hospital rang. She was told that

her mother had another mild attack and was now in a coma.

They had to decide what to do next as soon as possible.

In panic, Miya rushed to ask Xenon for help and found him eating breakfast quietly in the

dining room.

After listening to Miya's panicking explanation, Xenon said casually, "Sit down and have breakfast."

"My mum is.." Miya retoted instantly but was cut short by Xenon impatiently, "Sit down and

have breakfast. And don't let me see you cry again."

Xenon seemed to be completely unconcerned and went on eating gracefully, but He finished his breakfast within just a few minutes and made a phone call. He put the speaker on."Have all the doctors and specialists arrived?" He asked."Yes, they have. Miya Benjamin's mother has been transferred to the Uba's Private Medical Center. The surgery is about to start." "Good," Xenon said briefly and hung up.Miya was now feeling much relieved. She watched Xenon for a short while. There was a mixed feeling in her.

    As soon as the photo was taken, Xenon moved his arm away from Miya. When they received the certificate, Miya still found it very difficult to believe. "Mr. Xenon Uba, we don't really know each other well, are you really sure about this? Won't you regret it?""It's just a certificate." Xenon replied indifferently, "Also, don't we know each other well enough?I have slept with you. Or you want to get to know me better?"Miya heaved a sigh and managed to restrain her anger. She explained with a reluctant smile, "I mean in terms of personality and hobbies and that." You are merely a possession. I bought you. Simple as that." Xenon cut her short.Miya pouted her lips slightly and thought he's right. I'm merely his possession. I will just playalong and make sure that mum gets the best treatment.Xenon glanced at his Beta, and Levi understood straight away."This is for your mother's treatment. It will cost around ten thousand dollars monthly. As longas Mr. Xenon Uba is pleased with you,

He teased me.Miya did take a look at him a few times and had watched him for a bit, but she was simplyworried and was wondering about what to do. Well, you are indeed good-looking, I won't deny that. She admitted to herself."Miya, remembèr who you are. You are Mrs. Uba. If you allow yourself to be bullied, you are bringing shame to me. Do you understand?"

    Miya followed the chief maid through the carpeted corridor. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own breathing. They stopped outside one of the rooms."Mrs. Uba, this is your room. Let me know if you need anything." The chief maid said politely."Where is Mr. Uba's room?" Miya looked around with curiosity and asked."Here," The maid pointed to the room opposite Miya's, "And the study is over there down thecorridor.""Thanks."The maid bowed and went downstairs.Miya's jaw dropped as she opened the door and walked into her room. It was spacious and well equipped with a bathroom, a walk-in closet, which was filled with beautiful clothes, shoes and bags, and a study. Every item was. neatly placed. The décor was simple yet elegant. Miya lay down on the soft velvet bed and suddenly realized how exhausted she was.

    The gentleness he presented earlier had vanished completely.Her heart sank. She closed her eyes and awaited his 'attack' as he took off her bathrobe.However, Xenon stroked her left eye gently and quickly got up.Miya felt relieved for a second, then she grew worried. Have you displeased him? What did | do? If he's not even interested in my body anymore, he will probably stop paying me!Miya bounced off the bed instantly without even taking time to put on the bathrobe, and just as Xenon was about to open the door to leave, Miya hugged him from behind. "Honey, I know I'm not the best at making out or flirting, but I will learn. I will learn to please you." Miya said worriedly.Xenon felt the warmth of her naked body, but he appeared distant and cold."Take your hands off me."' He said plainly."Please stay."

    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
