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
When he finally released her from his eager kisses, he carried her down the stairs into the car. Levi quickly followed, holding an umbrella for them. Xenon sat Miya down on his l.a.p in the car, but Miya fixed her eyes upon the window, looking at the fierce storm silently. When they arrived at the hospital, Xenon carried her to the room and put her down on the bed. "Your wound is open again. It's bleeding. Did you do it on purpose? Huh? Can't you just take better care of yourself?""I, I was running to..." Miya pouted her lips and looked at him with tearful eyes. "I was in a hurry to watch a good show, wasn't I? Sadly, it was very disappointing." She said sarcastically.Xenon frowned and looked at her angrily, but seeing her tearful eyes and rosy cheeks, he couldn't get mad at her. Instead, he shouted at the bodyguards at the door. "Get the nurse here right now!" "Yes." The chief bodyguard hurried off. Within minutes, two nurses and a doctor rushed in. "Mr. Xenon Uba, what can we
Huh?" Miya thought he was to blame her. It was a question she didn't expect at all. "I, I don't know. I can't remember." "Tell me the truth," Xenon said calmly and genuinely. Miya pouted her lips and refused to answer. Xenon pinched her chin and said, "You are jealous, aren't you?" "No. I know what I am to you. There's no point to..." Miya was shocked by his question, but she denied it instantly."Tell me why. Why are you jealous of her?" He went on.Miya wanted to escape from his gaze and from his questioning, but she couldn't. She wanted to deny it again, but tears filled her eyes again despite herself. "I... She's the one you love. You can't forget her.""True, but what has it got to do with you?" Xenon pursued.Miya closed her eyes, and tears ran down her cheeks. "I just feel upset. Am I not allowed to be upset?" "Why are you upset?" Xenon was persistent. "Why do I have to tell you why?" "Because I asked," Xenon said plainly. "I...I... because... because even though you ar
Seeing her tearful eyes and cheekily stubborn look, Xenon smiled and suddenly kissed her on her lips. Miya couldn't mutter another word, and she stared at him with her eyes wide open, in disbelief. "You are not getting out of this bed unless you say it," Xenon said clearly, forcing her to say something he wanted to hearShe struggled to break free from him while giving a strong retort, "You are ridiculous!" Xenon doesn't want to let her go, and he's teasing her this moment, "So I am."Miya was speechless. She couldn't believe what she heard from him. This man was so overbearing that he always demanded everything he wanted her to do or say. "I will give you 10 thousand dollars if you say it." Xenon offered, trying to coax her. Again she stubbornly replied, "No! No! No!" "100 thousand dollars?" His voice rang again, forcing her to confess. Annoyed by his stupid coaxing, again she said. "No! Stop this stupid game of yours,""1 million?" He increased his offer while looking into he

I know one day when his lover will return, that would be the last day I'm staying by his side. She sneered at herself and kissed him passionately. Why not? He's great in bed. Even though he is so demanding and often makes me sad, he never fails most of his promises, and Mom is getting better. He gives me money and helps me with my career! Ha-ha. Who am I to talk about love, to talk about dignity? Don't be so pathetic! Love is a luxury that I can't afford.Her sudden change and passion startled Xenon, and soon, he returned with more passionate kisses. Her unusual reaction of intensity and strong d.e.s.i.r.e surprised him, and later, he noticed the tears running down her cheeks, and the pillow was wet. He acknowledged it, but he didn't do anything about it.He didn't need t
