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 relationship

Luke 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, got

a 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 was

notorious 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 our

wedding 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. I

Wish.." Luke continued, sounding rather remorseful.

You've been doing your best, Luke," Miya said tearfully. For the past two years since she

graduated from university, Miya had been to numerous meetings as such. She had never ever

liked 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 known

in 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 knee

towards 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 honor

meeting 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 the

Uba 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 Luke

to 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 and

crying 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 go

back 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 what

Xenon 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.

    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

    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

    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

    Miya acknowledged what Chris said but made no reply. She was literally dragged away by Xenon. He walked faster and faster, and she had to rush to catch up. At one point, she almost twisted her ankle, but she bore the pain and said nothing. The bodyguard held the door open for them, and Xenon pushed Miya into the car rather violently and slammed the door shut.Miya shivered, frightened. She rubbed her ankle gently and accidentally saw through the window that Sol was running after them. She stumbled and almost fell over, but Xenon went over to her quickly and held her arm.Seeing that she was struggling with her twisted ankle, Xenon lifted Sol up and carried her to the car. It hurt Miya to see how much Xenon cared about Sol. It's obvious who he really loves. He won't divorce me only because he's being possessive. He doesn't want other men to have me.Xenon's phone rang. The bodyguard helped answer the phone and held it by Xenon's ear. "Mr. Uba, our team has studied the record of the

    Both Xenon and Chris' bodyguards stood aside and watched cautiously. There was only limited space in the room, and even if the bodyguards wanted to help, they couldn't squeeze in. There were a few times when Miya felt fists flying right next to her cheek, and her heart was racing fast, frightened. Miya had learned how good Xenon was, and she was very impressed, but little did she expect Chris, who seemed so calm and elegant, to be another Kong Fu master. Hugging Miya with one arm, Xenon wasn't as swift as Chris, and suddenly, Chris threw a fierce punch towards Xenon. Miya screamed and held up her palms, intending to block Chris's punch.Both Xenon and Chris were shocked, and at the very same time, Chris retreated his fist while Xenon covered Miya's hands with his. That brought an end to the fight. "Didn't you want to leave me? Why did you try to take the punch for me then?" Xenon chuckled and teased. "I, I didn't mean to...it just happened," Miya explained feebly."Didn't you?" Xe

    They arrived at one of the best high-end restaurants in town. Chris was looking out of the window, enjoying the view while waiting. He heard the door open and Miya's footsteps. Without turning around, he said quietly, "I'm glad you made it here." "Mr. Butler, why did you pay for my mum's treatment? I don't want to be in debt to you or anyone.""You are not. I have my own intentions." He replied without giving her any further explanation. "What do you mean?" Puzzled, Miya asked him again. Chris looked at her, smiled, and said, "No worries. I just want to see you and buy you lunch." "I have no appetite." She refused his offer. "Ah. It's alright. I do. Two more people are coming, by the way." "Who?" Miya snapped. "Take a seat. You will find out soon." Chris stood up, pulled out a chair for Miya, and gestured to her to sit down. Miya felt more worried, but knowing that there was no way she could leave without Chris' consent, she obeyedDid you finish the books I gave you?" Chris

    Xenon bent down immediately to check. "You ok? Did you hurt your ankle?" Sol nodded. "I'm afraid so." Then she had a glance at the secretaries' office and saw that Miya could see them clearly. "Oh. Silly me. I shouldn't have worn heels." She said regretfully.Xenon put one arm around Sol's back and the other under her knees and lifted her up, so Sol wrapped her arms around his neck. "Xenon, I think I can manage. I'm worried that your staff will think it inappropriate to see you carrying me like this.""Inappropriate?" Xenon knitted his brows and marched towards the lift. "Whoever thinks it inappropriate should get fired." He said it aloud. As soon as the secretaries saw them get into the lift, everyone exclaimed, and soon gossip followed. Everyone saw and heard clearly how much Xenon cared about Sol, including Miya, especially when Sol smiled at her victoriously over Xenon's shoulder.She didn't need to do that. Everyone knows she's the one that Xenon loves anyway. Miya thought. Al

    Miya was startled. She had forgotten the fact that she and Sol looked like. "No, she's not my sister." She shook her head. "But my goodness, you two look just the same." Jodie looked at Miya, then at Sol, and back at Miya, in disbelief.Sol had a closer look at Jodie, noticing her attire and her pretty face. She asked cautiously, with a smile, "Who are you, may I ask?" "Jodie Field. I work here. And you?" "Sol Keaton." "Nice to meet you. Do you work here as well?" "No, not yet. Perhaps in the future. I'm here to see Xenon." "To see Xenon? Mr. Uba? You know him well?" Jodie looked at her suspiciously. "Yes. I want to keep him company." "Huh? What do you mean? He's got his wife to keep him company." Jodie said matter-of-factly. Nice one, Jodie. Miya thought gratefully. Sol looked displeased at first, then she smiled and replied, "The thing is, his wife isn't the one he loves. I am. Those who are just a replacement will have to leave sooner or later now that I'm back." Jodie po

    Irritated, he turned around and glared at Miya, "What do you want, huh? You were just saying you are jealous of Sol, and now you want to leave me." Miya smiled a helpless smile. "What do I want? Mr. Xenon Uba, I've told you that I love you, but we can't be together, can we? What do you expect me to do? To be your secret lover to humiliate me? And shouldn't you be loyal to Miss Keaton?"He didn't like seeing her smile. It upset and angered him at the same time. Without another word, he turned around and left. "Will you let me leave? Make up your mind, please..." Miya muttered.Xenon hurried back to his room. He didn't have an answer. Feeling helpless and hopeless, Miya collapsed onto the bed and stared at the ceiling all night long. She didn't get up till the maid knocked at her door in the morning to ask her to have breakfast. Seeing the tired and drawn face of herself in the mirror, she pinched her cheeks and said to herself, "Come on, Miya! This is not you! Cheer up. Life goes on
