"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, please... Please help my mum. I will pay you back. I Swear...""Pay me back? How? Without me, you and your mother can't even survive, let alone making money for the surgery." Luke looked at Miya up and down and added, "Miya, you know what, if you do what say, you won't need toworry about money. Take it as a compliment. If you help me get the contrast signed with XenonUba, I will give you one million, and I will make sure your mother gets the best treatment."This is the man I've been with for so many years? How can he say this to me?! Miya stared at Luke and suddenly found herself. looking at a strange face. The gentleness and affection she used to see had completely vanished. She let go of his leg and collapsed onto the ground.Luke and Tiffany walked into the house without taking another look at Miya.Xenon had been in the car parked in the distance, watching Miya. He had been trying to calm his wolf down from taking over or he would tear Luke into pieces. Xenon glanced at his Beta Levi, and Levi got out of the car at once. He walked towards Miya, holding an umbrella. "Miya Benjamin, if you agree to be hisWoman and do whatever he wants, then he will find your mother the best doctor and get her the best treatment and cover all the cost.""'I am not a toy. I'm not his possession! I will pay him back!" Miya crięd.Levi sighted as he stared at the stubborn woman. Humans! He will never understand their way of thinking."Miya Benjamin, to be honest with you, it's rare that Mr. Xenon Uba finds a woman that he's interested in, but when he does, he's sure to have her. Also, if you don't do what he wants, I can. assure you that you won't be able to find a job." Levi persuaded.Although Miya wanted to retort, she knew deep in her heart that she could do nothing aboutLevi's threat. Slowly, she got up and followed Levi to the car.When they arrived at Xenon's villa,"Get a hot bath and get changed," Xenon ordered.Miya shivered and stood still. Is he asking me to sleep with him tonight?Xenon seemed to have guessed her thoughts, "I don't force a woman to have sex with me, especially someone who's injured. It won't be fun anyway."Relieved, Miya went for a bath and got changed. After that, Miya decided to go to see her mother. Just as she went downstairs, Xenon called after her,"Miya Benjamin, from head to toe, every part of you belongs to me now. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go anywhere."From head to toe?! Isn't he a tyrant? Miya thought, but she dared not to object, for he somehow carried such an irresistible air of authority."I'm just thinking of going to see my mum." Shereplied meekly."Your job is to please me. You don't need to worry about your mother.""But she's my mum. I'm her only family..." Tears started to fill Miya's eyes again.Impatiently, Xenon answers, "Alright, alright. You can visit her once a week, and you completelybelong to me except this once a week""Can I live with my mum?" Miya pleaded, and Xenon replied with a sneer."You have sold yourself to me, Miya Benjamin. Are you trying to bargain with me? Also, you are not allowed to see that dumbass Luke Johnson again.""Why? Xenon Uba, you..""You know he's an asshole anyway. Why would you want to see him again?" Xenon retorted sharply."He is..He.." Miya hesitated, and tears filled her eyes."He's an asshole," Xenon added."When I was ten years old, he saved me and ended up in the. hospital for a few months. He and his family have been very kind to me, and in the past years, he has been paying for my mum's treatment... It's been so many years, and I..""What I know is that because he saved you, your father treated him and his family very well, too well perhaps. Your father made his father the boss of a construction company out of a labor worker. When your father died, and yourmother was seriously injured, your family's company went bankrupt, and you gave all the money that your father saved for you to thatasshole's father for expanding their company. Now that their company has grown, they have allsorts of excuses not to give you the money for your mother's surgery.""Did you investigate me?!" Miya was shocked, hearing Xenon speaking the cruel truth."Shouldn't I know what I'm buying before I make the purchase?"Xenon replied matter-of-factly. Miya looked down onto the floor and said helplessly, "Sure."Xenon glanced at Levi, and Levi said to Miya, "Miya Benjamin, I have something to show you, and you will know what a real man. Luke Johnson is."It was a video recording of Luke having sex with a girl."This happened on the same night when he drugged you and used you as bait to seduce Mr Agabus. If Mr. Xenon Uba didn't take yoụ to the hotel room, surely you know what Mr Agabus would have done to you.." Levi explained.Miya found it impossible to believe that the man in the video was the same man she was in love with all these years."Miya Benjamin, you probably have no idea at all, but this stingy asshole is actually very generous to his women. He's only stingy to you and your mother." Levi added.Miya closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her face, which annoyed Xenon. He held her chin tighter again and said, "How pathetic are you?! Why are you? even crying for that asshole ?!"Miya sobbed, "Right! I'm pathetic! What about you?! You bought me with money! WhatDoes that say anything about you?" she retorted without thinking, yet she regretted it right afterward. She was scared.As expected, Xenon Uba's face turned stern immediately. He was furious. He lifted his arm up,about to slap Miya, but Miya raised her arm up instinctively, and Xenon caught sight of herinjured right hand. He heaved a sigh, and the angry feeling seemed to disappear. He saidpatiently, "I don't like to see women cry.""Don't look at me then." Miya retorted.Xenon sneered and gripped her chin even tighter. "Miya Benjamin, you think too much of yourself, don't you? You are shouting at me for an asshole?! You wanna die?""No, I don't!" Miya said subconsciously, then she thought of her mother in the hospital andregretted what she had just said. Meekly, she added, "I'm sorry. I should not have spoken to you like this. It won't happen again."Xenon took a thoughtful look at her and went upstairs to his bedroom.Miya hesitated for a bit, then followed Xenon upstairs, but she stayed in the room next door.It was still early morning, and Miya was asleep when the hospital rang. She was told thather mother had another mild attack and was now in a coma.They had to decide what to do next as soon as possible.In panic, Miya rushed to ask Xenon for help and found him eating breakfast quietly in thedining room.After listening to Miya's panicking explanation, Xenon said casually, "Sit down and have breakfast.""My mum is.." Miya retoted instantly but was cut short by Xenon impatiently, "Sit down andhave breakfast. And don't let me see you cry again."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
Sean's jaw dropped. He was speechless. Why is he so protective and secretive about the girl? Isn't she just a replacement anyway?Jacob whispered to Sean, "Hey, Sean, why don't we go to Home. for Sol to take a look tomorrow?""I don't want to get kicked out." Sean shook his head with a sneer."Jacob," Xenon tapped Jacob's shoulder and said, "it sounds like you don't want to work for the Uba Corporation anymore.""Nonsense." Jacob reacts. instantly. "l love my job. Hey, Xenon,bI don't want to go back to theMorgans. It's too much responsibility. I much prefer working for you." Jacob was only interested in running gyms,martial art centers, and security equipment companies, and that.However, his father resented all that he was interested in.He was the only son in the family, and his fathèr expected him to take over the family business. Tohis father's disappointment, he worked for the Uba Corporation as the vice president instead, an equal position as Xenon's half-brother, Jameson Uba,
No wonder he's the richest man in town. I'm just his toy or pet, and he's so generous! These clothes, shoes, and jewels! It must cost a fortune! Miya thought.She picked a dress and put it on. As she looked at herself in the. mirror, she came up with an idea. I only need to sell a few outfits, bags, or shoes here, and I will get enough money for mum's treatment! Then won't need to stay here and please him. Excited, she picked a few leather shoes and bags and went downstairs."Good morning, Mrs. Uba." The chief maid said courteously."Good morning. I'm going out for a walk." Miya said in a hurry."We have prepared breakfast for you. Please have some before you go out.""Oh. Ok."The villa was like a castle. It took a couple of minutes to walk from the stairs to the dining area.Miya would have very likely got lost without the maid's guide. Two younger maids placed thefood on the table and stood aside."ls Mr Uba still asleep?" Miya asked."Mr. Uba has just gone to work."Miya felt re
