  "Scared? Then leave Xenon. You are just a nobody girl. You don't deserve to be with Xenon." 
  "So what, I'm still the one that kisses him, sleeps with him every night while you, evil and possessive, will never know how good he's in bed. Ha-ha." Miya retorted.
  Stupid bitch!" Lucia barked and lifted her arm up, intending to hit Miya. 
  "Why? Am I not injured badly enough? Huh?" Miya lifted her chin up and stared at Lucia. Lucia hesitated, thinking that Xenon would probably find out if she beat Miya.
  She put her hand down and, glaring at Miya, said with a sneer, "Bitch, you are just a replacement merely because you look at Sol. When Xenon gets tired of you, he will dump you immediately. Or when Sol comes back, you will be forgotten. You can't be Mrs. Uba forever!"
  "What matters is that I AM Mrs. Uba Now," Miya said with a smile while reaching the glass on the table by the bed. She had a sip of water and held the glass in her hands. "I don't know if I can be Xenon's wife forever, but I'm sure You Will Never be his wife but just a little sister." 
  Enraged, Lucia raised her hand again to slap Miya, but Miya was prepared. She dodged and quickly hit Lucia's head with the thick bottom of the glass.
  "Ouch," Lucia exclaimed, stumbled, and fell over, her bum landing hard on the floor. 
  Miya then dropped the glass, and it smashed into pieces all over the floor. 
  Two nurses rushed in on hearing the noises. "Is everything ok?" they asked anxiously.
  "Oh, Lucia kindly passed me the water, but it slipped off my hand and fell on her head as she bent down to pick up something. Can you please check on her?" Miya said plainly. 
  Lucia glared at Miya, got up, and said angrily, "I shall get you another glass of water." 
  "It's so nice of you," Miya replied with sarcasm. 
  The nurses could sense that the two hated each other. Worried that either Miya or Lucia would get hurt and they would not know how to explain to Xenon, the nurses spoke to them gently and finally managed to persuade Lucia to leave.
  Now that it was quiet in the room, Miya lay down to rest and felt much better. That was good revenge. Miya thought and smiled a cheeky smile. 
  Miya stayed a few more days in the hospital, and Xenon visited her every day. Though he didn't stay for long, Miya was happy that he came to see her. At least he still cares about me despite the interference of Lucia.
  It was the best private hospital with the best service, but Miya much preferred staying home. She pleaded with Xenon to take her home, looking at him with her big innocent eyes. Xenon agreed. 
  Miya was having a bath before bed, and Xenon suddenly came in. She lied down and hid under the rose petals, with just her head popping out. "Xenon, I'm, I'm not fully recovered yet." 
  Xenon wasn't someone that could be easily aroused, but once he wanted it, he wanted it all, and it wouldn't be just for half an hour. Miya didn't think her body could take it now. 
  To her surprise, Xenon chuckled and said, "Ha-ha. Do you really think of yourself as attractive?" 
  "Ha-ha. No..." Miya laughed dryly and felt relieved. 
  Xenon sat down by the bathtub and put a hand into the water. He stroked her between her legs, and she shivered and instantly closed her legs tight. 
  "Ha-ha. Someone gets turned up easily." Xenon teased. 
  Miya blushed. You went straight to my most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e spot! 
  "Do you want me to reward you then?" Xenon pinched her n.i.p.p.l.e gently. 
  "No!" Miya exclaimed and slapped his hand away. 
  "Huh? You've forgotten to behave yourself, haven't you?" Xenon snapped. 
  Quickly, Miya grabbed Xenon's hand and said softly, "I'm sorry, honey." 
  "Huh." Xenon sneered, then took out a check from his pocket. "See?" 
  Miya opened her eyes wide as she spotted the figure on the check. 70,000 dollars? Wait, what does that mean? 
  "Xenon, what's the money about?" She asked timidly while thinking, is he asking me to have s.e.x with him now despite my injury? 
  "What's in your dirty mind again?" Xenon rolled his eyes at her. "This is your pay for the design you did for Sally Streep. She's very happy with it and added an extra 10,000 dollars as tips." 
  Excited, Miya grabbed the check from Xenon's hand and gave it a kiss. "This is my pay! Wow! It's a lot!" She remembered that Sally treated her to coffee and bought her a pair of earrings as a present already. And now she's given me tips as well! She's such a nice lady! 
  Seventy thousand dollars for one design! If I get a dozen orders a year, then soon, I will be able to open my own studio! She thought happily. Though she had the talent in design, she knew very well that without the support of The Uba Corporation and the help of Xenon, she would not be able to make so much money. 
  "Thank you, Xenon." She looked Xenon into his eyes and said sincerely. 
  "There're better ways you can thank me," Xenon said cheekily. 
  "But, I, I can't now..." Miya muttered. 
  "Come on, be a bit more creative." 
  "Well, I can cook something nice for you." Miya looked at him with her innocent eyes. 
  "Alright." 
  "I will get out of the bath now," Miya said and intended to get up, but Xenon stopped her. 
  "I don't want someone injured to serve me. Wait till you are recovered." He said plainly. 
  "Xenon is very caring." Miya said, and hesitatingly, she added, "But can I cook for you only, not for her? We have other great chefs that can cook for her. I mean, I want to serve you only." 
  Xenon seemed to be pleased with what Miya said. He stroked her hair gently, which was unusual, and said, "I've taken her back to campus. She still needs to finish her study anyway." 
  "Really?" Miya exclaimed happily and pecked a kiss on Xenon's lips.
