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

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
