The faint smell of antiseptics and the hospital's familiar smell invaded Andy's nose strongly. Andy clenched his fist tightly, a myriad of emotions running through his mind.Andy hadn't expected that he'd have to see that devil spawn so quickly, but then... All those times Andy had met with the devil spawn were never planned. They just sprung so abruptly and caught him unaware.Andy's fist tightened, and he exhaled. It's just visiting a patient. He can do it.“Little brother Andy, you're here. I've missed you.” Accompanying Aria's dramatic voice were Aria's hands, which engulfed him in a tight hug.Immediately, Andy's tense body relaxed slightly, and he hugged Aria tight before separating from her. “Yes, I’m back,” Andy replied, and his gaze fell on Levi, who was sitting up on the bed. A gauze wrapped around Levi's head, and there was an IV drip connected to his hand. His face looked pale, and his eyes looked dull and dead, like an emotionless machine.Somehow, the image of Levi loo
(I'm so sorry for the late update. Had issues with the phone my writing file is on)Andy's fist clenched, his jaw tensed, and his nostrils flared in anger. He strode into Carbelle in a long stride, not paying attention to anyone who passed by or greeted him. So what? So what if Andy knew that person had secretly saved him or loved him? It won't move him a bit. Not at all!Just as Andy declared back then, they'll stay away from each other till the end of the world. That devil spawn had stolen all of Andy's first! Which means Andy had cleared all the debt he ever owed that bastard! Andy will never be moved! Never would he! Thinking like this, the rage in his eyes diminished slightly.Upon seeing one of his directors carrying a bunch of files, Andy's temple pulsed, and he couldn't help rubbing it slightly. Throughout the holidays, Andy has solved none of the company documents, which means that there'll currently be a lot of work waiting for him. Just the thought is enough to give And
Andy's chest heaved heavily, and his eyes spewed fire as soon as the poor director left the ward.Suddenly, he stood up from the chair, and angrily, his hands swept all the files on his table onto the floor, regardless of what they were.CRASH!ROAR!!!!Andy’s fist locked his hair tightly, and he roared in frustration.Originally, Andy came to the company to let loose, but he ended up piling more frustration on the chaotic ones on the ground. Had he known, he'd never have questioned the director.Ah! His face scrunched up, and he covered his face with his palm!Does... Can his life revolve perfectly if there weren't the presence of Levi in it? Can it? Andy had been trying to push that person away, but he never knew… He never expected all that would ensue.Andy gripped his chest and slid down the wall with tears in his eyes. He wrapped his hands around his knees and placed his chin on his knees, his lips quivering.Do you know what hurts the most? When you realize that that one person
The entire vicinity was pitch black with no source of light. It was so dark that if one tried to look in the dark, one couldn't see one's fingers.Prothero's back straightened and his eyes cold, his whole figure blending with the darkness. "How did he take it?" His voice sounded cold and rough, but if one listened to it patiently, one wouldn't fail to catch the softness and warmth pervading his voice.The guard's gaze fell on Simon, who was joking around with the guys, and he truthfully replied, "Young Master Simon isn't worried about Young Master's absence. Truthfully, it's as if meeting the Young Master is a bad memory he has forgotten." The guard patiently reported, but even after 5 minutes, all he received was silence. "Young Master?" He called to confirm that Prothero was still there.Prothero's eyes were glazed, and his face was blank, making one unable to fathom what he was thinking. He leaned against the wall. "Protect him until I return—""Yes, boss." The bodyguard respectfu
Hayden tugged his hair and yawned languidly, a bored expression plastered on his impeccable, handsome face. He was currently in Zenos' shirt and pants; a white duvet covered him. He turned and stretched his body languidly, his eyes drooping.He shut his eyes and raked his hand through his hair drowsily before grabbing the pillow under him firmly. "Time to sleep, Hayden!" He mumbled in a lazy, bored, and sleepy voice.But in the next minute, Hayden grabbed the pillow and threw it away. He flailed his legs and tossed about before sitting up, his whole expression screaming fury. He suddenly slammed his fist on the bed in fury. "Damn it. Is Zenos coming or not? 1 week. 2 week. He's yet to tell me anything. Now he won't call." Thinking about how he had spent the whole week having to call Zenos with Zenos either being busy or Zenos telling him to call back sent a mix of rage coursing through Hayden.The more Hayden thought of what was happening, the more fury he felt, making him unable to
Why does it seem Hayden craved trouble today? Heaven! Although Zenos was kilometers away from Hayden, Hayden really didn’t want to provoke that person too much. He was afraid. He was afraid that when the time came, he'd really be unable to pay it all.Hayden sensibly smacked his lips together. He hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands nervously… but upon recalling that Zenos wasn’t around him, he cleared his throat and tried to explain himself despite his quivering lips."Ah, Zen, you heard it wrong... I didn’t mention Mia. I meant Mason. Yeah, not missing. It’s Mason. Not Mia. Mason.” Hayden stuttered while trying to clarify. Even though it was obvious that Hayden was lying, Hayden inwardly wished that Zenos would be romantic enough to believe his stupid lie and let it pass.Hearing the stifling silence from the other side, Hayden placed his phone on his lap before putting it on speaker.His little heart was now thrumming with every second that ticked, and his smooth hands had
Upon hearing Hayden, that little rascal, bunch of nonsensical words, Zenos’ brows furrowed in amusement.Hayden, that little rascal didn’t realize that Zenos hadn’t cut off the call, did he?A whole sense of enigma clouded Zenos' face, making one unable to decipher his emotions.Upon hearing Hayden’s threat about the breakup, Zenos' blue eyes turned colder, and he stopped tapping the car seat.Zenos stared at the phone and seriously calculated the number of minutes it'd take a sleepy Hayden to come down and open the door.Soon, Hayden’s activities kept drifting into his ears, making his lips curved up in amusement.His index finger tapped the car seat rhythmically at a steady, calm pace.Hearing Hayden begin to approach the door, Zenos alighted the car, and he began to strode towards the door in a long stride.Coincidentally, the mansion’s door was opened by Hayden.Zenos' expression softened, and the whole sense of gloomy aura surrounding Zenos immediately diffused as soon as Zenos'
Zenos inched his lips next to Hayden's ear and began to lick the soft and sensitive earlobe. He tightened his wrap around Hayden's waist and susurrated, "So eager about our bed activities?” Zenos stared at Hayden meaningfully. Although he didn't say a word, Hayden understood that Zenos was implying that Hayden had purposely put on Zenos' outfit to seduce me. Hayden gnashed his teeth. He wasn't lustful. Not at all. It was Zenos’ fault. Yes, Zenos purposely tricked him! Hayden didn't expect Zenos to be in Grail. In fact, he expected some packages or a devising trick from Zenos. He didn't expect to meet Zenos instead. Anyway, Hayden won't deny that he likes that surprise so much, except that... Hayden's shoulder drooped. The thought of how much trouble he had caused himself alone is enough to make him want to cry an ocean. Sigh! Seeing that person's meaningful gaze, Hayden flared up, and he snorted. How could he seduce Zenos when he didn't know Zenos would be around? He stuck hi
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
“No way! How could it be…” Upon hearing this, the higher-up expression changed, and they stared at each other in shock. Someone in the company dared to do such a heinous thing?The company’s value kept falling drastically with each second that ticked before Zenos stepped in.Although the Heart product was launched using the company, in fact, Zenos used it to boost the company, and the Heart product completely belongs to Zenos.For the first time in years, their debt was finally decreasing, and they were able to see a profit.Yet someone dared to do something heinous! Certainly, that person deserves a judgment that’s worse than death!Suddenly, one of the higher-ups squinted his eyes in suspicion and pointed at the nerdy guy. When everyone thought the Shert product tasted good, he was quick to find out that it tasted like heart product.If he hasn’t done something so suspicious, there’s no way he’ll find out so quickly.Upon hearing this, all of their expressions changed, and they turn
