Hayden patiently kept shut as Zenni 'scolded' him for his reckless behavior. “Mom, I promise I'll be home soon. I'm just bored.” he cajoled. Zenni sighed and then warned him repeatedly to take care of himself, or he'll be 'scolded' by Ethan, which Hayden knew both of his parents won't be able to do anyway because they both treat him like a fragile egg.... In a classic expensive restaurant, the soft sound of the playing piano was heard, and everywhere was serene and calm. Rose was jittering in her seat, but when she saw Hayden, her cold and nervous expression immediately broke into a happy smile. No one could know or understand how miserable Rose has been ever since her secret was revealed. Even all of those men she previously kept kicked her out regardless of how she begged them. She didn't know who she offended, but that person really did her wicked. What made her more frustrated is that she was sure she never offended powerful people. Why would she offend powerful people w
The crowd looked at themselves with disbelief. “Is that the end of the drama?” Someone asked unconvinced.“So boring!” The crowd said in annoyance. What's the meaning of this argument when they don't even know what causes the fight and what the boy whispered to the girl before he walked out? At least let them know one side of the story; either the beginning or the end is fine with them. The crowd was so annoyed that no one cared about Rose's pitiful and invoking expression until when a man in his early twenties began to approach Rose which makes people's excitement return in folds.“That's the heir of the ROLCE'S company. I heard they'd soon become the next best thing.”“The ROLCE was even invited to the socialites' party last month, that girl is so lucky.”“That young master should spare me a look.” “TSK. TSK. This girl is so lucky, she got dumped by a man while another immediately…”The crowds continued to fawn with envious expressions at Rose's luck, while some were filled with j
“Do you feel mom is troublesome?” She asked Hayden, voice clouded with sadness, expression filled with sadness and pain, which made Hayden angry with himself. Zenni knew their parent/son relationship wasn't a perfect one, and it has always been on her mind. How could any parent watch their son live alone and be unable to go out in his real face when he should be able to do so freely, especially when he was in his teen? Zenni knew it was their fault Hayden didn't have a perfect childhood, and for that reason, she was always afraid that her son would hate or distance himself from them. Zenni immediately turned to Ethan with vivid sadness on her face, which showed how much she tried not to cry in front of her son. She's just afraid that Hayden would distance himself from her, and what does she live for if not for him and her husband? Besides, Hayden has started to find her troublesome, which meant… “Honey…” she called out with a shaky tone. Hayden immediately took hold of Zenni's tw
“What's your answer?” Ethan questioned, and the air in the library felt tense, immediately. Hayden looked at his fingers for a minute as if he were studying them. His heartbeat was racing. He bit his lips as he tried to say the word out. Without looking at his father, unwilling to look at his father's expression, Hayden answered. “Zenos.” Suddenly, he felt his father's gaze land on him, he mustered up the courage and raised his head to look at his father and on his father's face there appears to be a trace of sadness. Hayden's heart can't help but skip a beat. “But, Father, why are you looking at me like that?” He asked, trying to stay calm. “Would you hate me if I'm not straight?” Ethan's expression turned back to normal when he heard his son's words. He never expected Hayden to be afraid of them being annoyed by his sexuality. “It's not that, son,” Ethan replied with a comforting smile. “I'm fine with your sexuality, I just want you to know that the road you're trailing…” Ethan
Hayden stared at his father curiously; he obviously caught his father's words, and Ethan not completing the word caught Hayden off guard that he couldn't help asking for more information. “His? His what?” Hayden questioned Ethan. Ethan sighed tiredly, and his hand made its way to his forehead to massage. “Nothing.” He replied. “I mean, the guards caught them.” Ethan clarified calmly. Hayden nodded at his father's clarification. Knowing his father has always been busy and tired, he would rather not add his own to it by being probing. Ethan knows how curious and deep Hayden is, and he doesn't want Hayden to try to get to the bottom of the matter, so he immediately switches the subject, so he can get his boy's mind off it, unknowing that Hayden doesn't pay mind to it in the first place. “Due to technology and numerous factors, many families have been going bankrupt and wrecking down! But some of the major factors which are included are because of Hion; because of the Hion company, ma
Hayden also went over to Zenos' mansion for the last time, but…'I'm sorry, I don't know who you're talking about. I'm the owner here.' That was what a pretty lady he never saw before told him, and that made Hayden's heart hurt. He'd be willing to buy the house from Zenos even at a higher price, but Zenos sold it to a stranger, probably because Zenos doesn't want to have anything related to him (H) in his (Z) memories.'Zenos, you said everything happens for a reason, why won't you forgive me?' He asked himself after the usual robotic tone says; 'the number you dialed is unreachable.'“Young Master, Master is currently asking for your appearance.” One of the maids said after tapping Hayden's room door twice.“Tell father, I'll be down there,” Hayden replied. Hayden's eyes took in everything in the room. Somehow that minute, he was able to smell Zenos' scent, and with that, his steady decision wavered. Hayden immediately hurried toward his closet, he quickly took out Zenos' pair of
“I know this isn't your real identity. When?” Andy didn't conclude his sentence, but he figured out that Hayden would understand. Andy never had a close enough person who didn't befriend him because of his identity, except Hayden, so he didn't want to lose the beautiful friendship he had built with Hayden. He really trusted Hayden, and he hoped Hayden did so, enough for him to reveal the truth about him to him (A).“I think of you as a brother, but when next we meet, I'll tell you everything,” Hayden said with a sincere expression which caused Andy to grin happily with a hint of slyness. Suddenly, Hayden thought of something. With Andy knowing where he's leaving, Hayden doesn't doubt that Andy would run after him, saying it was a coincidence, so Hayden can tell him the truth. Hayden immediately scoffed at the grinning Andy. “Don't even think about doing so in less than 3 months will get me to reveal everything to you.” Andy immediately rolled his eyes after Hayden said the senten
Besides, he's still young, how can he have such a dark heart?“Am I stupid?” Hayden questioned. “Someone wanted to endanger you? Why would I be so stupid to involve myself in the first place? Not interested. I don't want to die.” Hayden shook his head and his walking pace increased.“Are you so spineless?” Mia yelled from behind him. Now jogging to catch his pace.“Yeah, I am,” Hayden admitted.Looking at this person's strong and attractive athletic body, even if she was thrown into a river, Mia wouldn't believe that this person is spineless. Mia inhaled and exhaled to control and calm herself, her voice was trembling, and she was now looking tearful. “Can you please help me?” She brazenly reached out for Hayden's sleeve and tugged it, while having no intention to let go, which made him pause. She bit her lower lips and her eyes darted in fear. “My parents, my family, and my fans, they all. Please, I beg you…” She doesn't want to go. She's afraid of what's bound to come once they
