'Can Xena fail to seduce a man?' was what Rory asked in return, which made CEO Eric believe that Xena was lying. Later that week, Xena went out to a restaurant and there she met Sean, Jude, and David. They greeted her and invited her to their private room. Hearing the news, Rory and CEO Eric didn't believe there was nothing between the four of them. How can they coincidentally meet at a restaurant unless it was planned? So, when Xena came back, CEO Eric talked about how Xena's fighting skill was waning, so he asked her to spar with 50 guards. She frowned and wanted to disagree, but the 50 has descended on her. Normally, she could have held her ground, but CEO Eric purposely lit a weakening incense in the room earlier, and he even added a weakening drug to the glass of water Xena drank in his office, and by the time Xena could realize it, it was too late. Zenos frowned due to CEO Eric's callous actions. “We'll deal with CEO Eric tonight!” Zenos said calmly. He should have done tha
Lucas, one of the football players and Hayden's friend, soon entered as Rose went out of Hayden's drawing room in glee. “Hey bro, what's up? When did you come back?” Hayden's hand shook Lucas, who just came back from a business trip of 1 month.“Just now,” Lucas replied absentmindedly. He turned back to look at the door, then Hayden. “What are you doing with that bitch? Don't tell me you are dating her”. He said with pure contempt.“What's wrong?” Hayden arched an eyebrow nonchalantly, yet he was still a little curious. “Look, bro. That girl is a god-damned talented liar. Just look at this.” Lucas stretched his hand and handed Hayden his phone, which Hayden immediately collected. “I was courting this girl for months, and she was playing hard to get, I thought she was different, and you know what… I kept falling for her. Who knows?” Lucas completed his words with the use of evidence he was sent by a friend. Hayden's eyes widened when he was shown a video of Rose and 2 naked guys i
“I want to check out the CCTV!” Hayden said with determination. His hand slightly tugged his hair in nervousness.“Hayden…”“Any argument?” He asked coldly.“Y… N… No.” Hayden's eyes began to blaze with fury when he began to watch the videos captured by the CCTV. He discovered that Rose's actions on Zenos began on the first day Zenos arrived. Rose had been trying to seduce Zenos by claiming to know more about him (H), which is why Zenos ignored her. Hayden's frown deepens when he sees Rose constantly trying to follow Zenos. The day Zenos kicked her was because she endeavored to hug him. Hayden was unhappy throughout, and he can't bear to watch anymore, or else he wouldn't know how to control his actions toward Rose for attempting to steal his man.'Zenos was innocent. He was innocent.' Keep ringing in his head. Hayden felt ashamed of his actions. What has he done? He thought in remorse. 'If you let me go, you'll regret it.' Now he understands what Zenos meant. He regretted it! H
“Then what are you doing now? Snitching on your boss?” Sean asked the chauffeur, who was now a trembling mess, but Micheal pulled Sean back and ordered the chauffeur to leave them.“What are you doing, Mic? Let me just…” Sean yelled and struggled in anger as Michael held him.“Be calm, we are disturbing Zenos and the other patients by yelling,” David said patiently, which made Sean reluctantly stay down.“Do you know what state Zenos is? We don't know what causes his condition and he just had to suffer again all because of that piece of…” he bellowed. Sean has always been the most emotional one in every emotional aspect of the five of them. And they thoroughly understand that his teasing, his anger, and everything he does is just a way to show his care.“Zenos will be fine!” Michael said and engulfed him in a brotherly hug. “Little baby, stop crying!” He teased Sean.“I'm not a baby.” He snapped, pushing Micheal away.“Are you sure you know nothing about Zenos, and he didn't show any
Hayden dialed Zenos's number repeatedly throughout the day, with no picking up from Zenos. Hayden finally realized and began to yearn for what he missed. He misses Zenos's early morning and late-night texts. He misses Zenos's presence and all of Zenos's actions, his teasing, bullying, and his touchiness, but he has never heard from Zenos since that time. Hayden cried because of Zenos's wickedness. Zenos is so wicked! Is it that easy to cut him off Zenos's life? Zenos didn't even look back, is it that how happy Zenos is to let him off? He wouldn't let Zenos go. Never! Zenos is his. Hayden declared firmly in his heart.“What did you get?” Hayden's tone was cold as he asked his secretary about Zenos, but his heart was beating fast. Extremely fast!“Master, we can't find the trace of Mr. Zenos. He seems to hide deeply.” The secretary replied, which made him grab the glass of liquor in his hand tighter. Hayden mocked himself; even his influence is nothing compared to Zenos's.“Ok.” Hayd
“How's Zenos?”“He passed this round,” Michael replied and immediately slumped on the chair. David instantly opened a bottle of water for Michael, while Sean began to open a box of Michael's favorite food from Michael's favorite restaurant.“What about that boy?” Suddenly, Michael asked in between meals.“Who?” Jude asked.“Hayden.” Sean frowned. “Hayden? Why are you suddenly asking about him?” Sean asked. Hayden's name is enough to remind him of Zenos's state, which he doesn't like in any way.“To clarify something,” Michael replied mysteriously, which made them frown a little. Subconsciously, they too now want to know how Hayden lives, ever since Zenos left.“I'll call Shadow!” Jude said, and quickly picked up his phone to call one of the bodyguards.“Hayden's a mess,” Jude said and with that, he began to explain everything the bodyguard said to him. “Oh, so he heard the wrong thing, saw the wrong thing, and misunderstood?” Michael muttered with a frown. He suddenly felt that Ha
Zenos is always planning every move, and he could have predicted and initiated many of the happenings, but what's Zenos getting at this time?“You were this free?” Zenos rhythmically tapped the bed, his voice cold and unfeeling as he questioned, making them feel chilled.“We care about you,” David replied with a shrug.“Hm.” Suddenly, Zenos' lips curved up into a smile and his voice seemed to be a little vibrant, except that he just wanted to reveal something 'wicked'. “We'll be flying back tonight. Next week we'll be going back to the company. Michael, you have some new projects you'll be…” They immediately protested. “No way! We just came back, and you need to rest!”“Says who?” Zenos smirked at them evilly. Ugh! Infuriating and heartless. Maybe they shouldn't have cared about him. Ugh! Such a stubborn and worrisome younger brother!___ Sean sighed for the umpteenth time, he just felt that that Hayden boy was pitiful, but Zenos really didn't care nor move an inch after what they
Michael chuckled at Sean's words and walked towards his room. He opened his room door only to be shocked by what he saw. Michael rubbed his eyes in puzzlement, and it was still the same thing. He even went out, closed the door, and reopened it again to confirm it. Jude, who has been watching Michael's reactions immediately, sighed. “What got you now?”“What the hell!!! Who the hell did this?” Michael cried out in shock and bewilderment. No! He had mixed feelings. Sean chuckle loudly. “I told you he'd be shocked, then happy!” Sean said to Jude and David while peeling off a tangerine.“It's Zenos,” Jude answered Michael.“WTH? Zenos bought all this?” Michael stared at his room, which was filled with countless snacks. And it was all his favorite snacks! Yes, it was! To be truthful, Michael never expected Zenos to pay enough attention to all the snacks he loved for Zenos to buy them for him, correctly. Oh, how touched he was!“You don't like it?” Zenos frowned slightly. He wondered i
Aria sat on a desk and swung her long legs while munching an apple elegantly, her eyes fixated on Hayden's painting in admiration.Aria blinked and tilted her neck in curiosity. "Thought the painting and designing are nothing but a hobby. Nothing more!" she articulated, recalling Hayden's firm words in the past."Hm." Hayden meticulously placed his brush down and straightened his back. His eyes took in the painting seriously, as if trying to find any errors.Upon seeing none, Hayden’s lips curved up in a smile. Even though the painting was only half done, it was beautifully executed.Upon hearing Hayden’s absentminded responses, Aria’s brows furrowed slightly. How was she to understand? If Hayden said it was nothing but a hobby, then why was he pursuing it? "You're applying for it, aren't you?"Aria’s brows raised in a mischievous grin, and she stopped munching the apple. She posed like a model shooting for an advertisement. "Who convinced your unshakeable mind? Zenos?"At the mention
Simon used a hand to ruffle his hair and extended his other hand to beckon the group to leave without him. Even though he just stood calmly, somehow he seemed to look like a supermodel posing for a picture. "You can leave. I have to stay..."Without giving Simon the chance to complete his words, a cunning smile appeared on Philip's face, and he raised his eyebrows endlessly and mischievously. "Ah. For the new crush," he declared with a dramatic snicker.Immediately, Philip tucked his hands into his pockets and looked up to the sky with his signature ever-knowing sage look.If that person could appear today, then Philip needed to reclaim his ever-knowing sage position.Upon hearing and seeing Philip's expression, Simon's face gradually turned cold, and he glared at Philip coldly. He parted his lips to say a word, but before he could...Philip struck a pose and ran a hand through his hair dramatically. He shrugged and casually expressed, "Well. Keep waiting, but remember not to keep you
Upon hearing a total stranger directing questions at Hayden, Aria's brows knitted and her face contorted in a frown. She tilted her neck and inquired, "Do you know him?"Aria turned to Justin with a frown before turning to Hayden again.Without bothering to give Justin face, she openly chided Hayden fiercely while indirectly poking at Justin."Don't tell me you've gotten a poor taste ever since this lady isn't here to monitor you," she chided while staring at Hayden with an expression that conveyed: Don't tell me it's true.Without casting a glance at Justin, Hayden ruthlessly responded with a helpless sigh, "I don't know him."Justin's expression changed, and it felt as if his heart had been stabbed fiercely upon hearing Hayden's cold rejection.Upon hearing this, Aria dramatically sighed while patting her chest. "Fortunately."Immediately, Aria flashed a smile at Hayden. "Now, let's go!"Immediately, Aria scowled and clutched Hayden's hand tightly. She began to scold him fiercely. "
Justin tucked his hands into his pockets and silently descended the stairs after being informed by a maid that his mom had called for him.In the living room, June, Justin's mother, was currently applying paint to her hand while watching a romance drama series.“Mom,” he called.June raised her head and directed a sweet smile at Justin. She informed him, "Starting from now on, Nougat will attend school with you."Her voice was so calm and sweet—unfortunately, her words held no sweetness for Justin.Upon hearing this, Justin felt as if a thunderbolt had cracked his world, and his mood plunged deep into the abyss.Right now, Justin believed he had just heard the worst news of the week. No—of the century. Attend school? Attend school with that bastard?Justin's eyes widened in horror, and he retorted in a stutter, “Attend? What? Why? How? Why should that bastard attend school with me? Why should he interfere with my daily life?”A surge of dread hit Justin’s soul hard and overwhelmed him
The first thing Hayden always did after taking a bath was to 'visit' the snack room to select the perfect snack for his early morning craving.That bright morning, it was unsurprising to see Hayden sneaking towards his snack room.Upon seeing a guard standing at the front of his precious snacks' door, Hayden's eyes enlarged slightly, but in the next second, he made a turn in pretense of forgetting something important in the bedroom.What a nice way to begin the day, dear CEO Zenos. Hayden sulked and grumbled unhappily.Upon seeing such an interference with his morning craving, how could Hayden not realize that Zenos was hell-bent on making his sugar level go down to normal?Hayden silently scowled, but in the next second, he tried to calm down and tried to accept it.As long as this cruel punishment didn't affect Hayden's incoming Heart's products, Hayden would try to shut one eye and manage himself by sneaking sweets, cookies, or chocolates, etc., when Zenos wasn't watching. Sigh! Li
An hour and a few minutes later, the doctor had already done a check-up for Hayden and disinfected, diagnosed, and dressed Zenos’ wound.The doctor’s back straightened, and he stared at Zenos and Hayden politely before reporting calmly, “Mr. Hayden’s mental health stress has decreased a lot. However, it seemed Mr. Hayden had a lot on his mind lately and tended to think a lot. It’s as if Mr. Hayden was afraid or anxious.” The doctor finalized.Upon hearing the doctor’s sentence, Hayden lowered his head and stared at his palm placed on his knees. Even though he didn’t make a comment, it was easy to notice that the doctor was right with his words.Zenos’ brows furrowed slightly. Except for Hayden’s exceptional clinginess, Hayden had always acted fine. Could it be that the boy had been pretending and was hiding things from him? What could it be?Zenos wrapped his hands around Hayden’s waist and nudged gently. He took hold of the boy’s hands and gently stroked them. “What’s it, baby?” he c
"Zenos, did you touch my schoolbag?" Hayden pursed his lips together and eyed Zenos suspiciously.Zenos raised his head to stare at the boy calmly. Upon making eyes with Zenos' deep eyes, Hayden became flustered, and he quickly dodged away.At that moment, Hayden realized that he was very daring. In fact, who would touch his bag if it wasn't Zenos? It's enough that he brought an illegal thing into the mansion when Zenos even took it away; he even dared to ask Zenos about it. Definitely courting trouble.In fact, the day before is when Hayden is supposed to get his snack from Zenos. However, because Hayden was caught eating a snack, Zenos banned the boy for five days.Despite Hayden's pleas and negotiation, he was only able to coax Zenos into four days. How heartless.Just thinking about how Zenos coldly pronounced that ruthless order, Hayden felt like bursting into tears.His beautiful heart. His exquisite heart. Of course, no snacks can ever taste like it. Yet Zenos cruelly takes it
“Micheal,” Xavier interjected immediately with a call.Upon seeing Hayden's expression turning pale, Zenos engulfed the boy in a hug and gently coaxed him while throwing dagger-like glares at the unfazed and unremorseful Michael.Michael leisurely leaned against Xavier and gave Hayden a cold glare, killing intent flickering past his eyes. "If you dare Zenos again, it is best you go into hiding and never let me find you, or I'll kill you with bare hands.” Micheal threatened, his voice laced with seriousness and danger.Although Xavier should be the one interjecting and cautioning Michael, upon seeing the person acting so domineering, Xavier’s eyes darkened and his desires increased, a thought in his mind: damn, Michael is hot!Upon hearing Michael’s words, Hayden's eyes surged with determination, and he retorted firmly, sincerity laced in his tone. "I won't hurt Zenos.” Hayden will never hurt Zenos in his lifetime or the next. Back then, when Hayden hurt Zenos, it was because he was ch
Suddenly, Jude’s phone rang, interjecting his typing. Jude stood up and strode toward the panoramic window; he tucked his left hand into his pocket and stared at the city. Jude picked up Zenos’ call."For those who embezzled, did you put in a schedule with our lawyer in court?" Zenos’ calm voice and the rapid finger typing on the keyboard drifted from the other end of the phone. "En,” Jude responded calmly, but in the next second, he arched his brows.At first, Zenos planned to take a look at the company’s staff and day-to-day affairs, but he suddenly decided to kick everyone out today. Originally, didn’t Zenos claim it was too early?Also, Mr. Dylan already knows his way around the company more than anyone. He can even be said to know his way around better than the owner. It was as if he was the owner! He might try to use that to cause trouble. Wait! He’s already in the police. Coupled with the pile of evidence that they have against him and his son, they will definitely take a wh
