Luke was angry that his plan with Mr Agabus had failed. Mr Abagus had promised to give him a big promotion if he helped him to successfully have Miya in his bed.
Luke immediately agreed. After all he was engaged to Tiffany Mr Abagus daughter and so he will do anything to please his future father in-law.Luke and Mr Abagus had planned it out. He will put a drug in Miya’s drink and later have her in one of the hotel rooms and by the time Miya wakes up the next morning, she will not remember a thing.Luke had played his part last and left Miya and Mr Agabus alone. And so he was shocked when Mr Abagus called him and informed him that the plan failed. He wondered what might happen.Nevertheless, Luke plans to play ignorant to Miya so that she won’t suspect he had a hand in what happened.And Just as he predicted, Miya came knocking at the door of his house early in the morning. She was still in her dress from last night.Miya explained to him that she didn’t know what happened to her yesterday or how she ended up in one of the hotel rooms. Miya left out the part about where she woke up with a stranger man laying on the bed with her or about the kiss she shared with the stranger this morning. Miya didn’t want anything to spoil their perfect relationshipLuke explained to Miya that she fell asleep last night and so he brought her into one of the rooms to sleep there.Miya wasn’t totally convinced with what he said but she refrained from commenting because she didn't want to talk about the stranger in the room with her.Luke smiled at how foolish Miya is. He couldn’t believe that she brought what she said. But then he wasn’t surprised because Miya is hopelessly in love with him and always believes what he says.Obviously, the plan had failed, and Luke had to arrange another meeting with Mr Abagus to apologize to him. He told Miya that she needed to apologize to Mr Abagus for falling asleep in an important meeting.Even though Miya hated it, she knew she had to go with Luke. During the meeting, Herman one of the big directors of Mr Abagus company, gota phone call, and after which, he exclaimed happily, "Mr Abagus, I've got good news! We have been trying every way to get the chance to meet Xenon Uba and haven't had much luck. But his assistant right hand man Mr Levi just called me and said Xenon Uba had invited us to meet at his club!"Mr Agabus, Luke, as well as other big bosses,i was very excited. Though Mr Abagus was a bit dubious about it, he wouldn't take the risk of missing such a great opportunity.Everyone had heard about the Uba’s in the whole world especially about the two brothers,Xenon Uba and Jameson Uba.Jameson Uba was the younger son, a total troublemaker and a heavy gambler who wasnotorious for the disastrously extravagant lifestyle.The older son, Xenon Uba, however, had earned himself an impressive reputation and people looked up to him in the business field.The group hurried to meet Xenon while Miya followed unwillingly.Luke held her hand and said gently, "Come on, Miya. It's a great opportunity. We have to make good use of it. If we can please Xenon Uba, we won't need to worry about the orders and the capital. We can have ourwedding soon and have enough money for your mum's surgery. It's been delayed for too long."Touched, tears filled Miya's eyes. She nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Luke.""I feel bad, you know, as her son-in-law to be, that I haven't got the money for her surgery. IWish.." Luke continued, sounding rather remorseful.You've been doing your best, Luke," Miya said tearfully. For the past two years since shegraduated from university, Miya had been to numerous meetings as such. She had never everliked it. In fact, she loathed it, the filthy and perverted looks she received, the dirty talks she had to listen to, and even some improper physical contact she had to accept silently. However, she needed the money for her mother's surgery. Luke is right.This is a great chance. Luke had told her that they only needed to work hard for a few years and the company would be successful, and they would have the money for a grand wedding,and she would retire if she wanted to, and she could live a peaceful life while looking after her mother without worrying about money and work. He had depicted a wonderful picture of their future life to her, and she believed in it. Fortune Construction Company had grown a lot in the past two. years and was rather well knownin City X, but compared to the Uba Corporation, it was just a speck in the business field. Everyone, including Mr Agabus, greeted Xenon courteously.Miya looked up to meet Xenon's gaze, and she was shocked. "It's you?! You are Xenon Uba?!"Isn't he the man that slept with me. last night?!Xenon lifted his brows and sneered slightly, "You are desperate for men, aren't you?"Miya blushed terribly. This is an insult! What does he think I am?!However, she knew she shouldn't ever displease Xenon Uba."Nice to meet you, Mr. Uba." She ignored his insult and said."Haven't we met already? I think it was a very delicious meeting last night." Xenon nurmured, teasing cruelly.Hearing Xenon's words, Miya turned pale. What did he mean?Last night was a mistake! Even the morning kiss.Everyone sat down while the seat next to Xenon was unoccupied."Why is no one sitting here?" Xenon asked, pointing to the empty seat.Remembering how Xenon carried Miya away in his arms last night, Mr Agabus suggested instantly,"Miya, why don't you sit over there? You are the only lady here. Ladies first"Startled, Miya looked up at Luke immediately, but he just smiled and nodded at her, "Right.Miya, why don't you sit next to Mr. Xenon Uba?"Miya sat stiffly next to Xenon and looked worried."Why are you scared?" Xenon leaned close to her intentionally and whispered to her.Miya kept her head low and fixed her eyes on the floor silently.Just stay quiet and ignore him. She told herself.Xenon moved his hand off the table onto Miya's leg under the table. He remained an indifferent look while stroking her leg playfully.Miya's heart was beating nervously fast."Mr. Uba... Please, don't." She pleaded quietly.Xenon ignored her pleading and placed his hand back on her leg.He wasn't interested in any of Luke's cooperation proposals. The more eager Luke had shown, the more daring Xenon's hand grew under the table. He moved it up to Miya's leg from her kneetowards her inner thigh and advanced upwards.About a half hour later, everyone was rather drunk except Miya and Xenon, who only had a few sips.Luke winked at Mr Agabus, and Mr Agabus suggested, "Mr. Uba, we have booked a room in a hotel nearby, and I wonder if you.."Xenon glanced at Miya and replied shortly, "I never stay at any hotels except The Uba Hotel."That's where we slept last night! Miya was startled."Ah, of course. How inconsiderate lam." Mr Agabus apologized. "It's such a pleasure and honormeeting you tonight, and I hope we will have more cooperation to come. I wish you good night, Mr. Uba." He stood up to shake Xenon's hand and said goodbye.Other big bosses understood and bade Xenon goodbye. So, now there was only Luke, Miya, and Xenon left."Would you two like to stay at theUba Hotel tonight?" Xenon asked casually.Miya shook her head instantly, but Luke replied with a smile,"It will be our honor, Mr. Uba. Thank you.""Sure. Will you have your driver take us to the hotel, Luke?""No problem."When the car arrived, Luke got in and sat at the front. Miya hesitated and wanted to ask Luketo sit at the back. Xenon noticed it, so he sneered and said, "Why?Are you scared to sit at the back with me, Miya Warren?""Don't be silly, Miya." Luke reminded her.Helplessly, Miya sat at the back but leaned towards the window to keep a distance from Xenon.His seductive voice whispered next to her ear, "Are you being shy now? You were moaning andcrying out loud with pleasure last night, asking for more."Miya clenched her skirt tight. She wanted to escape but dared not. She knows that Xenon is just bugging her but she still feels affected.As soon as the car pulled over outside the Uba Hotel, Miya jumped out of the car and held Luke's arm to seek protection. However, Luke said apologetically,"Miya, I left the contract at the club. I shall goback to get it. Why don't you go to the hotel with Mr. Xenon Uba first? I will be back soon.""Luke, I will go with you," Miya said hurriedly. She sounded frightened. Can't Luke see whatXenon is plotting? She held onto Luke tight. Xenon watched with a smile."You must be tired. Go and get some rest, I will be back soon."Luke spoke gently and planted a kiss on Miya's forehead. Unwillingly, Miya let him go.As soon as he got back in the car, the driver drove off immediately. Even the driver knew what was going on.Miya stood there helplessly, watching the car leave. Her heart was racing nervously."Are you stupid, or are you faking you don't know?" Xenon sneered once we were alone.I glare at him wondering what he means."Why were you drugged last night? Your fiancé must have known about it. Didn't you know what was going to happen when he took you to see Mr Agabus?If I hadn't suggested you come to my club, do you think you would be able to escape again?""Don't be ridiculous. I trust Luke." Miya retorted angrily. She might not trust Mr Agabus, but she trusts Luke. He will never do anything to harm her."Ha-ha. Do you trust him?" Xenon said in disdain. "If he really loves you, he won't use you as bait and for numerous times. He even drugs you to make you sleep with other men for the sake of his so-called business cooperation proposals. What's more, he's fucking Mr Agabus's daughter anyway. Do you really not know?"Mr Agabus daughter?! "Enough. This is nonsense.I don't believe you. l thought someone like you with fame and power would know how to respect others.""Didn't he just
"Tiffany Agabus, I'm not asking you!" Miya retorted without taking a look at her but kept her eyes fixed on Luke. "Luke, I really need the money now. I will pay you back as soon as I make any."Luke looked rather awkward, "Miya, you know how the Company is doing it now. If it's a few thousand dollars, I can help you, but fifty thousand! How do l get you that much money?”Fortune Construction Company was expanding and did need money for new investments.Though fifty thousand dollars wasn't a casual amount, it wasn't a large sum for Luke either. If he really wanted to help, it wasn't a problem at all.Miya tried to reach Luke's arm, but Luke slapped her hand away and shouted at her, "Enough! Don't make me despise you." Miya stumbled and fell over, the pain was so sharp that she finally broke down, crying, "Luke..."However, Luke ignored her completely and turned around to leave. Miya quickly got herself up and stumbled towards him, finally managing to hold onto his leg. "Luke, ple
Briarnna sat down and picked up the fork reluctantly. Xenon seemed to be completely unconcerned and went on eating gracefully, but He finished his breakfast within just a few minutes and made a phone call. He put the speaker on."Have all the doctors and specialists arrived?" He asked."Yes, they have. Miya Benjamin's mother has been transferred to the Uba's Private Medical Center. The surgery is about to start." "Good," Xenon said briefly and hung up.Miya was now feeling much relieved. She watched Xenon for a short while. There was a mixed feeling in her. When she finished half of her breakfast, she stood up, ready to leave for the hospital, but Xenon said rather sternly, "Finish it. I have asked them to prepare the. right portion. It isn't much at all.""Ok." Miya sat down and went on dining.He had arranged a driver to take Miya to Uba's Private Medical Center. Mum will be ok. Everything will be ok. Mum will be bok. Miya keeps telling herself, praying. Just as she got to the lif
As soon as the photo was taken, Xenon moved his arm away from Miya. When they received the certificate, Miya still found it very difficult to believe. "Mr. Xenon Uba, we don't really know each other well, are you really sure about this? Won't you regret it?""It's just a certificate." Xenon replied indifferently, "Also, don't we know each other well enough?I have slept with you. Or you want to get to know me better?"Miya heaved a sigh and managed to restrain her anger. She explained with a reluctant smile, "I mean in terms of personality and hobbies and that." You are merely a possession. I bought you. Simple as that." Xenon cut her short.Miya pouted her lips slightly and thought he's right. I'm merely his possession. I will just playalong and make sure that mum gets the best treatment.Xenon glanced at his Beta, and Levi understood straight away."This is for your mother's treatment. It will cost around ten thousand dollars monthly. As longas Mr. Xenon Uba is pleased with you,
Xenon knitted his brows, and he felt sudden. anger possessing his mind. "Miya Benjamin, send me your location right now!" he said angrily.Shocked and frightened, Miya did as Xenon ordered."l will be there in ten minutes! Don't allow anyone to bully you!""Huh?"Miya was now confused."Stand up for yourself! Don't let anyone look down on you,' Xenon almost shouted. As soon as he hung up, he set off with his Beta and bodyguards.As he promised, Xenon arrived within ten minutes. Everyone gazed at him even before he walked into the café, including the customers, staff, and Tiffany herself.They were amazed by his air of authority as well as his incredibly good look. He is afterall, the most powerful mafia Don in City X.As Xenon came closer, Tiffany felt his anger, and she shivered slightly out of fear and stepped backward,"You, err.. you are Mr. Xenon Uba?"Xenon didn't even take a glance at her. He sat himself down on the table and beckoned Miya over.Miya put her hands behind her ba
Xenon paid her no attention till he finished replying to a few urgent emails and turned off his laptop."You do adore me, don't you? You can't even keep your eyes off me." He teased me.Miya did take a look at him a few times and had watched him for a bit, but she was simplyworried and was wondering about what to do. Well, you are indeed good-looking, I won't deny that. She admitted to herself."Miya, remembèr who you are. You are Mrs. Uba. If you allow yourself to be bullied, you are bringing shame to me. Do you understand?" Xenon looked at Miya into her eyes and said,seriously.Miya was rather startled. She nodded and said,"I will remember. I won't allow anyone to treat me unfairly again.""Except me," Xenon added. "l can treat you whatever way I want."Miya rolled her eyes and said, "For sure. You Own me, after all." "Right. Don't let anyone bully you again. I don't like it." Xenon said sternly."But what if trouble comes to me?" Miya asked."Trouble? Do you think there's any tro
Miya followed the chief maid through the carpeted corridor. It was so quiet that she could even hear her own breathing. They stopped outside one of the rooms."Mrs. Uba, this is your room. Let me know if you need anything." The chief maid said politely."Where is Mr. Uba's room?" Miya looked around with curiosity and asked."Here," The maid pointed to the room opposite Miya's, "And the study is over there down thecorridor.""Thanks."The maid bowed and went downstairs.Miya's jaw dropped as she opened the door and walked into her room. It was spacious and well equipped with a bathroom, a walk-in closet, which was filled with beautiful clothes, shoes and bags, and a study. Every item was. neatly placed. The décor was simple yet elegant. Miya lay down on the soft velvet bed and suddenly realized how exhausted she was. After a while, she dragged herself out of bed and ran to the bathtub, added a few drops of essential oil, and Soon the pleasant and soothing aroma filled the room. When s
The gentleness he presented earlier had vanished completely.Her heart sank. She closed her eyes and awaited his 'attack' as he took off her bathrobe.However, Xenon stroked her left eye gently and quickly got up.Miya felt relieved for a second, then she grew worried. Have you displeased him? What did | do? If he's not even interested in my body anymore, he will probably stop paying me!Miya bounced off the bed instantly without even taking time to put on the bathrobe, and just as Xenon was about to open the door to leave, Miya hugged him from behind. "Honey, I know I'm not the best at making out or flirting, but I will learn. I will learn to please you." Miya said worriedly.Xenon felt the warmth of her naked body, but he appeared distant and cold."Take your hands off me."' He said plainly."Please stay." Miya hugged him tighter.Sudden anger possessed Xenon, and he pinched her hand with his slim yet strong fingers. Miya exclaimed in pain and let go of Xenon."Don't make me despise
