Sophia came over and stood next to Mrs. Uba and placed her hands on Mrs. Uba's shoulders to show how close they were. "Sue, I've met her a few times. I'm rather confused and surprised how she is now Xenon's wife,I have to say. I mean, just a month ago, she was engaged to Luke Johnson, and she was his private and special assistant, helping to get contracts signed byseducing their potential business partners. Thèn suddenly, she and Xenon are married. I'm reallycurious about how she did it."On hearing this, Sue Uba was shocked. She frowned at Miya and questioned, "What sort of life were you living?"Miya wasn't stupid. She knew what Sophia was doing. Though angered, she composed herselfand said calmly, "Luke and I had a talk, and both agreed that it's better we separate. It was thepast anyway. I'm now married to Xenon, and I'm content and honored to be his wife."Xenon liked Miya's response, and he joined in supportively."Mama, let the past be the past. Miya was unlucky to have met
Miya recalled what Jodie had suggested to her. I should show her i'm not just a meek little lamb,or I will just get bullied. I have to put up with Xenon and his grandparents just because Xenonis paying for mum's treatment, but I don't have to put up with her!"Don't you threaten me with my mother!" Miya suddenly picked up a knife on the table andpointed it at Sophia. "If you ever hurt my mother, as long as l live, I will slice your facę and take revenge!"Frightened, Sophia staggered and stared at Miya open-mouthed. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had been brought up spoiled by her brother and father. No one ever dared to say no to her. Miya was the first person that ever challenged her. Just as she was to shout back at Miya, she noticed Xenon hadi just arrived, standing at the door. Immediately, she changed her attitude again and spoke gently, "It takes patience and love to cook, especiąlly for someone we love. It's ok that you don't know how to cook.I can show
Sophia said with a smile, "Miya, you seem very shy. Just make yourself at home. Here, would you like some chicken soup?" She passed the plate of salad to Miya."I'm ok. Thanks." Miya said plainly."Aha. This is Xenon's favorite dish, so you two don't have the same taste, I suppose. That's not fun living together then." Sophia commented with sarcasm."Why? The difference makes it even more fun. It creates diversity." Again, plainly Miya replied.A few times, Sophia tried to bring up a topic, but Miya responded without any enthusiasm as shehad to avoid falling into any of Sophia's tricks. However, her lack of response and enthusiasmdispleased Sue even more. Benjamin didn't say anything either, nor did he try any of the food except a small bite of salad.Sue nudged Sophia gently, and Sophia scoopeda small bowl of curry for Xenon. "Thịs is for you, Xenon." She said with a bright smile. Xenon nodded, but he didn't touch the food at all.Miya noticed and thought it's obvious that Xenon do
The more she thought about it, the more enraged she felt. "Xenon, are you keeping her with you merely for the reason that she looks like your ex?"Xenon was very protective of Sol, and Sophia never had the chance of meeting her. She didn't even know Sol's name. She actually planned to get rid of Sol when she found out that Xenon was in love with her, but she hardly knew anything about her, and she couldn't hurt her."It's none of your business," Xenon replied coldly."I mean, if this is the face you like, I can even have plastic surgery and make myself look like her. Please just divorce her. She's ..""Sophia Moore, however you change yourself, I won't be interested in you at all," Xenon saidsternly."Why?!""Because you're soulless. Whatever you look like, I don't even want to take a look at you."Miya had been listening quietly, intending not to interfere, but hearing Xenon's reply, she almost chuckled.Miya had thought that she would probably be insulted again on the way home, but
She decided to leave him. "Right. It's because I don't want this marriage. You bought me. Love and marriage shouldn't be bought. It's based on two people's free will." Miya said clearly.***** warning a little triggering*******Xenon looked at her with disdain. "You sold yourself to me! You think now you have made enough money and want to leave, huh?""Yes! I don't have to rely on anyone anymore." Miya retorted.As soon as she said so, she felt tension grow between them instantly. Xenon looked dangerous.All of a sudden, Xenon tore off her dress violently, and her fair skin and breasts were exposed mercilessly. Frightened, Miya covered her breasts with her hands and tried to move away from Xenon, but it was in vain. She was stuck in the car, in the tiny space where escape was impossible."I Have been too nice to you. Now you should know how to be obedient." Xenon said angrily.Miya had realized that she had really angered him this time."Don't, Xenon, please don't..""You are just a t
Jacob was rather shocked. "You have come to tell us Xenon's order and watch us?"Kevin looked apologetic, but he nodded. "Yes. It's Mr. Xenon Uba's order."This is too much. To ask a woman to walk home in this pouring rain! Jacob thought and gave Xenon a call."Xenon, aren't you being too cruel to her?" Jacob asked."Ha. Why? Don't you think you care too much about her?" Xenon sneered."This is between her and me. You'd better stay away, or l shall be cruel to her.""Xenon," Before Jacob could explain, Xenon hung up. Angered and frustrated, Jacob punched the steering wheel."'Sorry, I..l can't help you." He looked at Miya apologetically.Miya shivered in the rain and smiled a bitter smile, "As long as you don't play any more tricks on me, l will be grateful to you." Shekept on walking.Kevin followed behind with an umbrella. Jacob watched them, feeling more frustrated than ever.I shouldn't have talked to him about dignity or freedom. How stupid i am!I can't show myemotions. I can't
"I never betrayed you, and I never will. I understand fully that i'm married to you, and I will always be on your side. I Didn't seduce Jacob. What happened was that Sophia pushed me the other day, and Jacob caught me just when l was about to fall over. Sophia took a photo and.." She sneezed again as she explained. She sounded weak and shivered in his embrace."As long as I'm your wife, I will never betray you.." she continued.Xenon looked at her into her eyes for a while, then put her back down on the sofa. "Alright, I will believe you this time. Go get ready. It's almost time to go to work. Kevin will drive you to the company in twenty minutes."Miya nodded and watched him walk out into the garden. She heaved a sigh and dragged herself into her room for a quick shower.On the way to work, she couldn't stop sneezing and started coughing nòw and then. Kevin feltsorry for her. "Mrs. Uba, shall I take you to the hospital first?" he suggested.Thanks, Kevin, but I'm ok. I don't want to
This was the first time that Miya had time for herself in a week, and she was thinking of going to see her mother, however, she didn't want to Worry her mother nor give her the cold. She hesitated for a bit and decided to go back to Home for Sol.As soon as she got home, she went straight into her room and went to bed. When the maid came to ask her to have dinner at half-past seven, she muttered that she wasn't hungry and skipped dinner.***Meanwhile, Jodie was now in Sean's car. She was actually thrown into his car by Sean."Uncle Sean, how come you have so much time to 'care for' me? You must have a lot of work to do running such a big company. "Jodie asked, pouting her lips."Aren't you going to the pubs with that group of so-called friends again?""They are good friends." Jodie defended."Just a bunch of useless young people that waste time doing nothing all day.""Huh. What were you doing when you were at our age then?" Jodie pouted her lips."Are you suggesting i'm much older t
