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
Warning: This chapter contains a s.e.x.u.a.l scene. If you're not comfortable to read it kindly skip it and move to another chapter) If it's all just a game anyway, I might as well play hard and get the most of it. 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
Soon the maid returned with her clothing. Miya opened the door slightly, quickly took the clothes as she muttered a thank you, and closed the door immediately. She heard the maid chuckle, and she blushed, feeling embarrassed. She tried to cover the kiss marks as best as she could, but still, some were rather noticeable. Damn it! Did he do it on purpose? He had said that I could go to the company to work today, but look at me now! Shit. People will think I'm crazy, wearing a scarf in this weather.Miya cursed and went downstairs, sulking. Xenon was reading the newspaper, as usual, looking rather cheerful. Isn't he late for work? Miya was surprised to see Xenon. She was to check the time on her phone when Xenon said, "It's a quarter past eight. I've been waiting for you for breakfast."He usually leaves for work before eight o'clock. Why? Miya wondered. She stood by the stairs and looked at him with a confused face. "But aren't you running late? You normally went to work early every d
Miya wanted to move a bit away from Xenon, but Xenon held her waist tighter. She obeyed and thought I'd better not show any personal emotions to him from now on. I don't have the privilege to do so. I am not Sol Keaton, his angel. Just obey and question not. Just as Miya thought of Sol again, Xenon's phone rang. He listened for a while, then asked, "Any news from Europe?"He frowned. "It's more likely that she's in Europe, but continue the search in the States and Canada. I will send more people if necessary. If you can't find her, don't think about coming back to City X." He said sternly.Miya had guessed that it was about Sol. Her heart ached.When Xenon hung up, Miya asked, trying to sound as casual as she could, "Xenon, when you find her, we will divorce, right?" Xenon muttered a yes without looking at her. Miya was quiet and looked out of the window. As he noticed how she suddenly looked upset, his feeling of agitation resumed. I have been looking for Sol for so long, and if I
Miya found it too much to take in. Questions started to bombard her mind again. Am I becoming someone to Xenon, as Jameson said? He has really never allowed Sol to sleep in his room? How's that possible? I've only been with him for three months, and I already know how s.e.x.u.a.l he is! Or perhaps it's because he really loves her and respects her while he only sees me as a s.e.x toy. Miya heaved a sigh. Jameson watched her quietly. "Your ankle must hurt. Do you need a hand?" He asked gently as he took her arm."No, thanks." Miya swept his hand off her arm. "Have a good day." She walked slowly to the front desk and sat down. The front desk girls all knew why Xenon married Miya, and it wasn't for love, but they had also noticed the small changes in the past weeks like she had been coming to work with Xenon and she worked in Xenon's office. Also, they spotted the kiss marks, which implied how passionate they were in bed. Surely, Mr. Xenon Uba cares for her. They thought.Seeing that sh
The delivery guy said it's for you. There's a card in it." The secretary said. Miya opened the card and saw the beautiful handwriting of Chris. It said nothing but his signature.Green roses meant pure and forever loved, and to send a girl green roses implied that she was the queen of beauty in his heart and that their love would last forever. I can't accept this. Miya thought. What would people think?!"Please take it back. Ask the guy to deliver it back to him and tell him not to send me flowers again." Miya said. The worries and rejection Miya expressed were too obvious not to notice. The secretary had lost her guts to ask who it was that sent the flowers, and she refused indirectly, "Mrs. Miya Uba, but the flowers are delivered to you, so it's yours now. Have a good day." She retreated hurriedly and closed the door.Miya heaved a sigh helplessly, and after the secretary left, she opened the door and had a look outside. Everyone was busy working, and no one was watching her, so s
Sophia gasped and stared at Jameson for a while before she could find her tongue. "Jameson! He's your brother! How can you be so cruel?! Where the hell did you get that idea from?" "My brother? Only half, biologically." Jameson said with a sneer. "He and his mother never accepted us and looked down upon us. I can't stand him either."That's between you and him as brothers, but I'm telling you, if you ever hurt him, I won't let you off," Sophia said sternly. "Even though he only cares about Sol Keaton and now probably his wife as well, and he will never give a shit about you, you will still love him? Sophia Moore, what are you doing to yourself, disgracing yourself for a man?""Don't you mock me! You aren't any better. How's The S.l.u.t of City X treating you?" Jameson sneered and said casually, "Ha-ha. It's over between her and me. Sophia Moore, don't you understand? With girls like Maggie Taylor, I can dump her whenever I want, but you are obsessed with Xenon, a guy that you can n
