Chapter 69

"I stayed at the man's place for three days and only just woke up a couple of hours ago. I came back as soon as I woke up." Miya replied honestly.

"Where does he live?"

"I don't know," Miya said plainly.

"Ha. You don't know?! You lived there for three days, and you don't know where he lives? Don't you know how to tell a better lie? Xenon went to the bar to look for you, but you left with that mysterious man. And you were gone for three days without any news. Don't you remember that you are Xenon's wife? Or you simply don't care and sleep with any man you want?"

Miya glared at Sophia and retorted immediately, "Sophia, don't you speak nonsense. Nothing happened between him and me. He helped me, and that was it."

"Then, why won't you tell us where he lives? You are worried that Xenon will go look for him and find out what has happened between you two, aren't you?"

"Sophia, not everyone is a s.l.u.t or a liar like you. I've done nothing indecent." Miya said, looking at Sophia and Xenon.

"Sophia, don't you want to have dinner with me? Now I grant you the chance." Xenon finally spoke.

Despite his coldness, Sophia smiled happily and said, "That's wonderful. Shall we go then?"

Xenon and Sophia walked past Miya towards their cars.

Miya felt abandoned. She bit her lips and reminded herself to stay calm. He's misunderstood me. If I get upset now, it will only make things worse.

Before Xenon got into the car, Miya rushed over and closed the door, blocking Xenon's way. Xenon threw an impatient look at her, then beckoned a bodyguard standing behind him. It was obvious that he was asking the bodyguard to take Miya away.

Miya grabbed Xenon's arm and said quickly, "Xenon, my phone battery died when I called you that night. I passed out at the bar and only woke up a couple of hours ago. I came back to see you as soon as I could. I didn't even have time to charge my phone."

Xenon slapped her hands off his arm. The bodyguard opened the door for him. As he was about to get into the car, Miya hugged him from behind. "The man doesn't want people to know where he lives. He covered my eyes before I got into the car, and on the way, they put some sort of hypnotizing music on, and I was asleep till I got back to the city center. The driver dropped me off outside the French Café."

Xenon remained silent.

Miya went on. "Xenon, you are the perfect man I've met. It's impossible that I can even replace you with anyone else. I would rather die than betray you. And I am a faithful wife to you, no matter what happens,"

Xenon seemed to relax a bit, but he kept his back facing her and tried to take her hands off him. Miya tightened her embrace and even kissed him on his back, which finally pleased Xenon.

He turned around, lifted her chin up with his long slim fingers, and said, "You'd better be honest with me. I hate someone who betrays me at all cost,"

"I have been all the time. I will never ever lie to you or betray you." Miya said.

Xenon got into the car and beckoned Miya. With a smile, Miya went in and sat next to Xenon, holding his hand and resting her head on his shoulder intimately.

She looked out of the window and saw Sophia standing by her car, glaring at her. After waiting for so long and asking Xenon so many times, Sophia had finally got the chance to dine with Xenon, yet now it was all spoiled again.

Miya responded with a triumphant smile and looked away.

"Xenon, how's Jacob?"

Xenon had his eyes closed. He didn't answer.

Miya shook his hand a bit and asked again, "Xenon, how's Jacob?"

Xenon tapped her hand off impatiently and said, "Why do you care about him so much?"

"It's not him that I care about. I just don't want to share my husband with another man." Miya pouted her lips.

Xenon looked at Miya for a bit as if he was startled. "He's a good friend."

"You two sleep in the same room!" Miya almost exclaimed.

The driver burst out chuckling but quickly coughed, deliberately hoping to hide his laugh.

Xenon glared at him for a second, then turned to look at Miya. "Are you actually jealous?"

"Jealous? No. But I don't like sharing a man with another man."

"I'm not gay. I'm only interested in women and women that look like Sol."

Miya felt relieved as well as hurt. I can only be her replacement. Even if I can keep Jacob and Sophia away from him, I can never win his heart.

Uncertain how she should reply, Miya decided to change the subject. "Xenon, can you please do me a favor?"

"What is it about?"

"The mysterious man helped my friend Angela as well and she's in hospital, but he didn't tell me which hospital she's staying at. I'm worried about her."

"It looks like this guy wants something from your friend."

"Huh? Perhaps he likes Angela?"

Xenon chuckled. "Why would someone with such power fall in love with a girl that sings at a bar? I think it's more likely that he will ask her to do something for him to return the favor."

Miya grew worried. "Can you help me find out where Angela is, please?"

"Can't you get in touch with the guy?"

Miya shook her head. "I don't know where he lives, and I don't have his contact."

"I will try, but I can't promise anything."

"But you are the most powerful person in City X. Surely, if you want to find someone, you can."

"I'm not sure if I'm the only powerful one."

"Huh?"

Xenon had to admit that the mysterious man would probably be the most powerful enemy he ever encountered, even more threatening than the Moores.
