Xavier paced around the hotel room; his mind was running chaotically. Suddenly, he paused in his tracks, and his cold eyes were pinned on the shrinking Michael, who had almost plastered himself to the bed.Xavier's things were delivered to the hotel, and the embarrassed Michael refused to tell his house location, which brought them to the hotel."Now tell me why you left. You should have a sufficient reason to explain the sudden disappearance three years ago, shouldn't you? After all, I've given you sufficient time to prepare your mind. Xavier sneered. All his emotions were revealed now that the two were alone with each other."Three years. Three years, Michael. You left without thinking of us. Throughout the time we were together, I did all I could, and everything kept telling me we were doing well! Did you know how hard I prepared for our first anniversary? Did you know the surprises I planned only to discover you lied to me and ran away?" Xavier's voice boomed coldly in the room.M
Happy New Month, everyone! I'M SO SORRY FOR THE LACK OF UPDATE; THIS AUTHOR HAS BEEN SICK AND BUSY.(In case y'all are confused, the previous chapter had a flashback, which is the continuation of chapter 70, YOU CRASHED MY CAR.)"Are you playing with me?" A furious Michael's veins throbbed; his fists were clenched, which shows his irritation and annoyance for the man who wants to mess up his workload and peace of mind.Michael had the inkling that the blue-eyed devil was a wealthy man whose intention was to trouble Michael, or perhaps he was there for something Michael had yet to find out.Besides, all the signs this blue-eyed devil had displayed revealed that the blue-eyed devil was among those types of wealthy people Michael hated to the core. Those sorts of people who believed that money could do anything and purposely made others' lives a living hell!"Do you think I have the time?" The blue-eyed devil replied and leisurely sat up.Despite all his lazy and leisurely behavior, his
FLASHBACK CONTINUES.TWO MONTHS LATER."Yeah, Dad. I'm here. I'll be in the private room in a few minutes from now." Michael conveyed to his dad—his phone was placed next to his right ear. He took out his car keys and placed them in his pocket. He alighted from the car and locked the door after picking up his wallet and phone.Michael had just finished an emergency case when he received a call from his dad. Michael's dad had called Michael to inform him to meet him (M.D.) at Fantasy Restaurant.Due to the seemingly anxious voice of his dad, Michael had left the hospital without even taking a breather, not to mention changing his clothes, but still, that didn't make him look less handsome.Michael, in his official doctor suit, attracted a lot of ladies' attention, which he paid no mind to. As Michael elegantly made his way toward Country B Fantasy restaurant, a lot of ladies began to point and whisper with a blush on their faces.Michael smirked and waved at the girls before he casuall
(Thank you guys so much for sticking around. I may not say this frequently, but I'm really grateful that you stayed despite my scattered updates. Thank you. Enjoy. And yeah. Don't hesitate to read my new book. Ciao for now.) FLASHBACK CONTINUES Michael furrowed his brows. Was he mistaken, or did he just hear his father mention that he was engaged? Wait! How can that even be possible?Michael quickly brushed it off, thinking that his ears must have been playing a joke on him. That must be it! After all, Mr. Denzel had never planned Michael's life for him.Even when Michael ditched taking over the company to become a doctor after graduating from a top university with a record-breaking score as a business student, his father didn't let out any form of argument. How could it be that his dad would be the one to tell him that he was engaged?Mr. Denzel has always been such a father who only cares about his son's happiness above anything else, and that confirms that Michael's ears must be
After all, this bastard had made him go through hell throughout his stay at the hospital."Hm," Xavier replied with a mischievous and nonchalant smirk, despite understanding what Michael's gaze meant.When Nicholas first delivered the engagement news two months ago to Xavier in preparation for his emotions, Xavier stormed out, not believing that he had just been tied down without his knowledge.But upon hearing that he was engaged to a childhood friend of his with his own agreement, Xavier only had one thought: big brother Xavi.All this while, Xavier never recalled that boy, or it was accurate to say that he had chosen to forget that little boy after the many years of separation, but upon hearing that he was betrothed to the boy, he couldn't help giving in the impulse to find him.Surprisingly, that little boy who always stuck by him during childhood had become a genius and handsome doctor.And seeing the handsome older version of the boy made Xavier's heart race.At that moment, Xa
FLASHBACK CONTINUES"Woah. Woah. Woah. I never expected this shocking news. Doctor Michael is bent? Oh, how many ladies' hearts have been broken by the news." The female newscaster sat down elegantly with a pretty smile on her face as she reported daintily with an excited look."The most shocking news to me is the anonymous man's words. That's just a Kodak moment. Just the memory of how naughty our cold doctor Michael is is enough to make me blush." The second female reporter reported a blush surfacing on her pretty face."Who do you think is the anonymous man? I think that man should be one of the most capable men in the country because that's the right fit for our doctor, or else many fans will throw a fit. How sad that the man's face was blurred, but his perfect figure is 1000/10..." The third female newscaster reported with an enchanted smile on her face.The second female interjected with a childish, beautiful giggle. "Reporter H, I think your report is getting out of hand…"Mic
Michael was proven wrong! He had believed that the world would gradually forget the love between Xavier and Michael within one or two months, but he was wrong.Even a year later, all his public relationships were still spread around. In other words, Doctor Michael had stylishly gotten used to spreading dogfood with Xavier to the citizens.At this rate, there's certainly no option for canceling engagement in Xavier's dictionary.Xavier's intention from the very beginning was to chase after the cute young boy who had always called Xavier 'big brother Xav'. Since Michael hated him, what was the perfect way to get him?Due to the event, Xavier became sticky, hardly separating from Michael, and gradually Michael began to get used to the pervert as well."Ok. I'll pick it up," Michael responded to the person at the other end of the phone while inputting the code to unlock the door. His phone clamped in between his shoulder and right ear."Bye, darling." Michael smiled and made a kiss sound
“You dared lie to me that it's nothing?” Xavier growled angrily and grabbed the boy's chin tighter, which made the boy wince, but Xavier, whose rationality was already consumed by anger, was oblivious to the boy's pain.“I…”“Did you know how much we searched for you that night?” Xavier ran his hand through his hair in fury.“Did you know how heartbroken and panicked your dad and I were when we heard that you hadn't visited the hospital? Dad thought you were f**king kidnapped. You should understand what that meant to his emotions.” Xavier accused and separated from the boy before turning his back on him.Michael's teary eyes were filled with panic upon hearing Xavier's last statement. He couldn't hold the tears anymore and let them slip past his cheeks.Michael's heart pangs because of his childish behavior. He understands that Mr. Denzel has become overprotective of him ever since that kidnapping incident, and Mr. Denzel would panic if he didn't hear from Michael in a day and Michael
Zenos familiarly strode toward the cart section, and grabbed a cart with his right hand, and Hayden’s hands with his left.As soon as the duo left Chips n Chops, Hayden happily suggested that they should go to the city's famous supermarket to get the sketch paper, and once they are done with that, they can continue strolling and find other places to visit!Upon seeing Zenos act so familiarly as if he had been used to this all his life, Hayden’s eyes widened in shock. Hayden has always taken Zenos as someone lofty, high, and mighty who is used to extraordinary actions and not ordinary actions other humans do day-to-day.Hayden’s hand held Zenos’ hand tighter, and his eyes fixed on Zenos’ tall and straight figure. "How can you do this like... like you were familiar with this?" He inquired, his voice filled with shock. Zenos’ lips curved up in amusement. What is this little rascal thinking again? "Familiar." He calmly proclaimed in acquiesence Hearing Zenos’ confirmation made Hayden’
"That moment when you told me you don’t want to have anything to do with me, even though we just met, I became a wreck,” Zenos confessed sincerely, replaying that moment when he stepped into Hayden’s room with snacks only for Hayden to lash out at him.At that time, Zenos believed that he’d never have anything to do with the boy. Who knew that they’d end up becoming so close that they wouldn’t be able to do without each other?The city was cold, and beautiful lights pervaded the city, the cool breeze caressing them softly. Even though the night was cold, somehow being next to each other while holding each other's hands, Hayden and Zenos felt inexplicably warm. The duo couldn’t help thinking inwardly that they needed to be doing more of this from now on reminiscing.Upon recalling that moment, Hayden’s expression changed, and a surge of regret overwhelmed him. Back then, Hayden lashed out at Zenos, thinking that Zenos would coax and explain to him, but he hadn’t expected that in a
"Oh, not again.” Hayden took a step back and exhaled; he puffed out his cheeks and huffed. He made a mistake again! How could he make a mistake for the umpteenth time now? Huff! So infuriating! Hayden’s eyes landed on the drawing, which was now splashed with a different color! Sigh! He gently removed the drawing from the board. Even though he had the idea, he kept making lots of mistakes due to his absentmindedness. Furthermore, he also had a bout of anxiety overwhelming him today. This was all due to the upcoming design exam. In the past, before Hayden set his eyes on Zenos, Hayden had always believed that he wouldn’t venture into design, but ever since he met Zenos, Hayden was inspired to pursue his design career. Hayden believed that in the future, he and Zenos would surely lead the business company to the top. The thought made Hayden’s expression soften and made his bout of anxiety diffuse slightly. Immediately, Hayden felt inspired and a lot of calm; he took a step bac
Hayden leisurely lay on his stomach while flailing his legs, his hand holding his phone tight and his fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly early that morning, leisurely chatting with those rascals in the mansion. It was vivid that Hayden was in a good mood after all; a certain person didn’t wake up with an aching body that morning!Just thinking about it feels great and makes his mood extremely surreal; even his face seems to have a permanent smile on it. Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened, and a darkened face, Zenos, strode into the room at a long and fast pace. Feeling the fierce aura exuding from Zenos, Hayden’s eyes flew wide open, and he turned to Zenos in bewilderment, "What are you… Mmmhhh." Hayden had yet to complete his statement when he was pressed down and kissed ferociously by the dark-faced Zenos. Soon, Hayden was flipped over by Zenos, and his hands were pinned above him. Hayden’s brain rang, and he became alarmed... What. What was happening? How can Zenos pres
Zenos pushed the door and strode into the room calmly. His lips curved up, and he shut the door behind them. The boy had been so sure of trapping Zenos with his plans so much that the boy didn’t bother to shut the door tonight. Only if the boy knew how much Zenos took precautions! Zenos gently sat next to the boy; his soft eyes landed on Hayden's adorable and pure sleeping face. Hayden sleeping like this made him appear so free, pure, and untainted by the world's darkness. It made Zenos want to protect the boy from any harm.Zenos' lips curved up upon recalling the boy’s naughty antics from earlier. His hand fell on the boy’s hair, and he softly brushed Hayden’s hair with his hand. Zenos’s lips curved upward, and a light chuckle spilled past his lips, "How'd you get the mind to torture me, babe?" The boy should have known that riling Zenos’ desire would make Hayden wake up with increasing pain. However, the boy has always been naughty; who knows if the boy enjoys the… Suddenly, H
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he made an attempt to stretch his body, but in the next second, tears slipped past his eyes, and he stared at the ceiling. Why does his hand ache so much? Ah! What's wrong with his body again? It’s really too much! Hayden slowly but achingly walked towards his phone. However, by the time Hayden checked his phone, he was completely shocked… Hayden could remember that he left his phone charging last night, but how come his phone is completely turned off right now? Not only was the charging socket off but his phone's battery was completely shut down. His phone battery isn't the type to drain for no reason! A wicked grin immediately crept onto Hayden's lips. Something is extremely fishy. Now, he doesn't believe that Zenos is truly innocent. Tonight, he'll change his plan. Let's see if Zenos will be able to hide again! Hayden smirked evilly, the plan on how to catch Zenos pervading his mind. He should have expected that his plan was childish in the b
Hayden drowsily stretched his arms and yawned leisurely. His hand flew towards his eyes, and he leisurely rubbed his eyes.His eyes flew wide open, and he evaluated himself. It seems falling asleep is the best health treatment. His arms and body feel so much better after sleeping.Hayden's finger landed on his lips, and he slowly stroked them. It's just that his lips don't seem to go with the flow and still remain the same from when he woke up in the morning.However, everything feels so great. Suddenly, Hayden paused, and his eyes shone with an enigmatic glint.The ointment seems to work despite Zeno teasing his chest.Hayden immediately became energetic, and he sat up while stretching actively. He could probably do some painting, or he could just tease Zenos too…Definitely teasing Zenos.Even though Zenos' expression shows innocence, Hayden doesn't fall for it, and he believes that his situation can only be none other than Zenos' handiwork. After all, who could step into the room i
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he leisurely yawned, “Ha… Ahh. Ahh. Ahh. It hurts.” Hayden's leisure yawns were immediately replaced with a pitiful cry and teary eyes. Hayden sucked in a cold breath and evaluated his aching body. He slept fine last night. Why does his whole body ache now? Especially his red dots, which felt as if they had been sucked sore. Ah! His hand feels so heavy too. This feeling feels like whenever he used his hand to help Zenos. Ahem. Hayden almost smacked himself. How could he have such naughty thoughts at such a serious time? “Ahhh!” Hayden let out a pitiful cry upon using his aching hand to mistakenly touch his stiff and sore red dots.This feels so unusual. Very unusual! And very painful. Immediately, Hayden's eyes landed on the bed. Did Zenos come in? Hayden took a glance at the door, and he immediately rejected the idea. Judging by how everything seemed fine the way he left it before he fell asleep, it could be seen that Zenos didn't step into t
Silence fell immediately, but in the next second, Zenos' broke into a peal of sarcastic laughter, cruelly poking into Xavier's wound. He fell silent in the next second and asked, “Why?” Xavier leaned forward and truthfully replied, his eyes filled with regret. “Dealing with business and failing to return for weeks.” Oh. Zenos fell silent, and his eyes fell on the beautiful city view, his expression deep and enigmatic and his thoughts unfathomable. "How?" A rueful smile appeared on Xavier's face, and he ran his hands through his hair. "On a business trip that was supposed to take three days, I ended up spending two weeks. Every day coaxing and promising to return the next day.” And when he finally arrived at the mansion a few hours ago, Xavier made his return a surprise. The man had eagerly kissed him, jumped on him, and attended to him well while acting clingy, leaving no trace of suspicion in Xavier's mind. Who knew that when Xavier was about to step into the room and hug the
