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
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
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
Miya’s POV“Miya, what is taking you so long? We are going to be late!.” Luke, my fiancé , called out to me from downstairs.“Just a sec. I will soon be ready.” I shouted back as I checked myself out in the mirror.I am wearing a long strapless red bodycon dress which I specifically got for this occasion. I am accompanying my fiancé Luke to a meeting with one of his power allies. I initially wasn’t interested in attending the meeting but Luke insisted. Just like he always insisted that I go with him to every one of his meetings. Because according to him I am his good luck charm. He might be right though, because every meeting I had with him ended up successfully.I put on a dark shade of red lipstick and then I picked up my black purse which matched my shoes and went downstairs.“Sorry I took too long.” I apologized to Luke when I stood beside him.“Whatever! Let’s get going.” Luke uttered and started walking out of the apartment.I was disheartened as I followed him outside. I had e
Xenon POVBeing an Alpha of a pack, a mafia Don and at the same time a CEO can be very hectic and stressful to a lot of people but not to me. I love every bit of it. I am able to do all my duties smoothly. In the eyes of the humans, I am just a successful business man and also one of the kings of the underworld. while to the werewolves, a powerful Alpha. They refer to me as the ‘devil Alpha’ because I am ruthless in my dealings. The only people who see my soft side are my family and close friends.A knock at the door brought me out of my thoughts.“Come in!”. I responded to the knock. The door opened and in came Levi my beta and also my right hand man in my mafia dealings.He looks weary. As if he has bad news to share with me.“What is it Levi?”. I asked him.“I was sent by some of the pack members.” Levi uttered.“Concerning?” I asked. Although I might have an idea who sent him.“Alpha, the pack members are worried about you being mateless!.” Levi, my beta and right hand man
Xenon’s POV“Help me?.”she must be running away from someone. From the way her pulse is weak, I guess she must be drugged..That made me so furious. This is the kind of behavior I don’t tolerate in my club. Every member of the club is warned against such behaviors. It baffles me that someone decided to go against the rules.“Did you see anyone chasing after her?.” I inquired from the bodyguards in front of the booth.“No sir!.” One of them answered.“Alright. Go to the security office and get the camera footage of all her movements since she entered the club today.”. I instructed the guard. “And as for you, call the doctor and tell him to meet in the penthouse.” I ordered the other bodyguard. There is a clinic attached to the building so that minor cases and emergencies can be given first aid before being taken to the hospital.I picked the lady in my arms and headed for my personal elevator. I own the entire building. It would not be good for my business if it gets to the press th
Miya’s POVI woke up feeling as if I had been hit by a train. My head was aching so bad. I placed my hand on my head as I tried to sit up.“Where the hell am I?”. I wondered as I looked around the unfamiliar luxurious room. I look down at my body that is covered in a fur blanket. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that my clothes from yesterday were still on my body. But then I turned to the other side of the bed and saw a man lying down.“Ahhhhh!.” I shouted. I immediately whined after that. My head aches badly now. It’s as if someone is continuously hitting my head with a hammer.The man immediately opened his eyes; “Are you okay?.” He asked me.“Who are you? What do you want from me? How did I end up here?”. I asked, scared. “Hey calm down! I didn’t do any harm to you. I swear!.” The man said with his hands up in surrender. He is wearing a suit while I am in my dress so maybe he is telling the truth. But then how did I end up here?“How can I trust your words? I woke up a
