Miya starred with her eyes wide open. She had never thought that the mysterious owner of Turn On Bar was someone so good-looking. "We are a proper bar, not a gangsters' club. Why would I ever have anyone to beat up our customers? Well, well, I have to say, your friend is something. He can take punches well." Jake said with a mocking sneer."Don't give me bullshit, Jake Moore. What if I insist on taking these guys?" Xenon said icily. "Then you have to defeat me. If you win, then you can take them, but if you lose, then I take three percent of your company shares." Jake smiled a victorious smile. Three percent of The Uba Corporation shares meant billions.Despite the pain, Jacob spoke, "Xenon, don't. If he gets three percent of your shares, then Jameson will have almost the same amount as you. Also, if the Moores have the company's shares, it will put us at risk." What Jacob really worried about was that Jake Moore and Jameson would work together against Xenon. If Jameson had more sh
After staying in the ICU for a day, Jacob was transferred to the VIP room. However, Miya was still unconscious and had to be kept in the ICU. She had lost too much blood, and as she had the rarest Rh-negative blood type, the hospital had difficulty finding the right blood for her. Fortunately, just as the blood was still being delivered on-air and Miya needed the blood desperately, someone brought two bags of Rh-negative blood.The doctors scrutinized it and found that it was exactly the right one for Miya and it was clean and safe. The doctors asked Xenon for his permission for the transfusion, and Xenon agreed, meanwhile, he asked Levi to find out who it was that brought the blood and where it came from.Despite the time and effort they invested, they could find nothing but that it was a teenage boy that gave the blood to the doctor and refused to offer any information.The boy was just a normal high school student, and both his parents had a normal job. None of his family knew any
Miya rolled her eyes, feeling speechless. He was kissing me with affection just then, and now he's threatening me. I shouldn't expect him to change. Miya thought. Reluctantly, she muttered, "Honey." Xenon somehow felt startled, and it took him a few seconds to acknowledge it. "Again." He said. He liked it. "Why?" Miya pouted her lips. Xenon chuckled at her reaction and pinched her lips gently. "Alright. You don't have to now. But from now on, whenever you call my name, you have to say it with affection." He wrapped his arm around her slim waist gently and buried his head on her neck, sniffing the pleasant scent of her, and just like that, he lay there still for a while. Miya found his behavior rather peculiar. She tapped his arm and said, "Hey, you should get up." "Why? Can't I cuddle my own wife?" "Yes, you can. But I just think you must have a lot of work to do." "Yeah. I should get back to work." Xenon got up and re-focused on work. Later, Levi came in and reported, "Mr. Xe
He used to see her as a mere replacement for Sol because she looked like her, however, he now realized that they were actually quite different. Sol was very delicate and gentle, even submissive, while Miya could be rather stubborn and independent. She's actually nothing like Sol except her look. It then dawned on him that she was no longer just a replacement to him. When Miya woke up the next morning, the first thing she thought of was how Xenon was. "Honey, how are you feeling? How's the wound?" she asked and gently touched the bandage. She heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that it wasn't bleeding any more."Do you think you know magic? You can tell if it's healed just by a gentle touch?" Xenon teased. Miya rolled her eyes. "I wish I knew." "Why don't you take my shirt off to check then? Come on." Xeon smiles cheekily. "No." Miya blushed. "Don't you miss my n.a.k.e.d body?" Miya was speechless. She changed the subject and said, "I'm hungry." "Hungry for what?" Xenon teased agai
Pretend?" Xenon asked. "Right. Don't worry. I know what's real and what's not, and I know not to fall in love. It's all just a show as it's intended to be from the very beginning, right?" Miya said casually. "I know when she comes back, I will be gone." Xenon knitted his brows harder and questioned, "Do you think about leaving all the time?Well. Do you expect me to share my husband with other women? You won't love me anyway. I'm just a replacement." Xenon wanted to say something, but he hesitated a bit and went quiet. He knew that it was true that if Sol did come back, he would surely ask Miya to leave. His silence confirmed what Miya said, and she smiled a helpless smileXenon picked up the peach with a grumpy face and threw it into the bin. "Carve a different one. Something nice." He said and changed the subject.Miya got an apple from the plate and started peeling it. She found it difficult to concentrate as the thought that she was merely a replacement haunted her mind. "Ouch.
Anyway, I've come to City X with the intention of cooperating with you, Mr. Xenon Uba, so I've done some research and preparation. I've only found out that Mr. Xenon Uba has once given up the inheritance of The Uba Corporation for a woman, but I don't know who the lucky woman is." Chris explained indifferently. Xenon released his grip, disappointed. Chris took another look at Miya and turned around to leave. "Get well soon." He said as he walked out of the room.Silence filled the room. Xenon glanced at Miya, who was sitting on the bed quietly. "What's between you two? Isn't he too concerned about you?"Miya looked up at him with a helpless smile. "Not as much as you are about her," she said sarcastically. "Don't you speak to me like that?" Xenon said sternly."Sorry. I forgot that I'm just a replacement." Miya looked away and, with great effort to not show her sadness, said as calmly as she could, "I've only seen him a couple of times. He saved me once, and he sheltered me once."
Xenon, but I love you. I will do anything for you. Why don't you see? Why don't you have feelings for me at all? Don't you see how much better I am than Sol and Miya! I'm better looking than them; I'm better educated, and I'm from a better family..." Sophia said emotionally. "Shut up!" Xenon snapped. Frightened, Sophia stopped immediately. Why did I mention Sol?! Stupid me! She cursed quietly. "I'm sorry, Xenon. I didn't mean to mention Sol. But I, I just don't understand why you married Miya! She's just a nobody girl..."Miya was just about to come in with the well-prepared lunch and heard Sophia talking. She stopped at the door, hesitating if she should go in or leave."What are you doing at the door? Come in." Xenon demanded.Miya pouted her lips and muttered, "Yes." She put the food down on the table and asked, "Am I interrupting you? Should I leave you two alone?" Xenon tapped her head and said, "Are you Mrs. Uba, or is she?" Miya smiled and said, "Me, of course." She sat do
She took the escalator upstairs to see a slim young girl with long hair gazing at Xenon, who stood still, looking disappointed and impatient. Then she looked at the girl again and noticed that though she was of a very similar figure as herself and their face is a bit similar, but not so alike. "Mrs. Miya Uba? Why are you here?" Levi spotted Miya and asked.Xenon turned around and glanced at Miya with a frown."Why? Am I not allowed? I'm simply curious to see what Mr. Xenon Uba's angel looks like. She's very pretty indeed. I shall leave them alone now.""What are you talking about?" Xenon said impatiently.Managing to hide the bitter feelings in her heart, Miya said with a smile, "No worries. Just send me the divorce agreement whenever it's ready, and I will sign it straight away." She turned around to leave. "Stop." Xenon snapped. "What else would you like to do for you, Mr. Xenon Uba?" Miya spoke as calmly as she could. "You think you can just come and go as you like?" "Well, do
