In the school restaurant, Andy was already seated alone, waiting for Hayden. Their group of friends, which includes the jocks, footballers, athletes, etc., beckoned him to come and sit with them, but he immediately retreated because it's likely Zenos would come over, and he doesn't want gunpowder spreading. Yes, that's how much Zenos is wicked in Andy's mind. Andy waved immediately after he saw Hayden, but once he saw Zenos behind Hayden, he snorted and turned to the other side. And when he saw Rose, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened in horror. What the hell is Hayden thinking, letting Zenos and Rose walk beside him? He looked at Hayden, who looked helpless himself. “Eh, Prince Hayden.” A handsome teenager swaggered and waved at Hayden with a fake smile. Two handsome teenagers followed behind him, one of them looking like the typical teenage bad boy while the other looking like the innocent scholar type of man, he was holding a book that further confirmed his type of person. Ga
Hayden was already dressed up by the time Zenos would pick him up. He was dressed in a white sweater with a hood and dark blue trousers. His hair was brushed to the back. Hayden didn't really dress up for Zenos, he told himself.He paced about in his room thinking if Zenos had forgotten about him and their date but when it was exactly 5:45, he heard the smooth sound of Zenos' car which made him hurry outside. Andy immediately sighed in relief. He was about to get dizzy from Hayden's pacing. Zenos came down from the car when he saw Hayden approaching. Hayden felt that Zenos really has the appearance, figure, and name that makes every man jealous. Zenos was dressed in a black suit that attracted Hayden's attention again. He wasn't putting a mask on this time.“Beautifully dressed for me,” Zenos commented with a smirk. Hayden immediately puffed up. “I certainly didn't dress up for you, it's for Rose!” He yelled back to mask up his lies. Zenos nodded and stopped his teasing, which cau
Hayden's uneasiness was soon washed away by Zenos's gentlemanly actions. It's an understatement to say that Hayden enjoyed himself because Zenos really cared for him throughout their date. Zenos even booked a popular cinema for their privacy and even selected one of the latest movies Hayden has been eager to watch.“You can leave, I'll find my way back to Rose,” Hayden said to Zenos, he was reluctant to end the date but because he has scheduled an appointment with Rose he has to stop his clinginess. Hayden bowed his head to his phone, pretending to do something important so that he wouldn't waver in his decisions when he looked at Zenos. “I'll drive you there,” Zenos suggested, and Hayden nodded without hesitating. Hayden was about to text a location to Rose when he saw the notification of a text sent by Rose. 'Hayden, I'm sorry, but my manager won't let me go!' she sent. Hayden immediately frowned, but he swiftly called her. 'Are you okay?' Hayden could hear a noise that made h
“What are you looking at?” The man beside Rose asked with a frown. He was annoyed, and his ego was given a blow because when he entered the mall earlier, no one looked at his side nor paid him attention, but when this man in a mask entered, even without seeing his face, people were attracted to him, even the lady at his side wasn't excluded. His hand suddenly made its way to Rose's waist, but before he could touch her, she swiftly moved back with hidden disgust. She looked cold as she said to him.“I want to greet a classmate. Just a min.” She said and quickly left the man's place without waiting for his reply, making the man frown as he pulled back his hanging hand.“Hi.” Rose waved at Zenos with a smile. Zenos's brows furrowed when he remembered what Hayden said of the reason Rose canceled their date. Just like he expected.“Eh. Young master caused quite a scene.” She said talking about the girls. “I never knew you could come to places like this. What's Young Master doing here?” Ros
“Stay!” Hayden articulated, but before he knew it Zenos's lips shut his, which made his eyes widen in shock.“Are you certain?” Zenos arched an eyebrow, with a mischievous smirk playing on his face.'Rascal!' Hayden's face immediately burned red at Zenos's actions. “No!” Hayden huffed and removed Zenos' hold from his. “Pervert!” Hayden cursed once more, but with a smile that he couldn't hold back. Zenos's hand made its way to Hayden's face, he removed a stray lock and tucked it behind his ear. “Everything that happened, happens for a reason. Don't be annoyed anymore.” Zenos said to console him because he knew how annoyed Hayden was earlier. Zenos's words made Hayden smile and nod sweetly.“Everything that happened, happens for a reason!” He muttered and pondered over the word, and he nodded after getting the meaning of the sentence. Hayden looked at Zenos' face, and he couldn't help but be enchanted by the soft and comforting look on Zenos' face. Rose was the one who made him sad t
“Zenos!” Just like he thought, men are not to be trusted. Zenos grinned slyly, and he immediately flipped Hayden on his back and then pinned Hayden's two hands on the bed. His teeth directly tore open Hayden's shirt and his hand quickly discarded it by subconsciously flinging it somewhere across the large room. Hayden gasped out in shock due to how everything played out. He should have trusted his instinct and run away; how was he so stupid to believe this scheming man would let him top in the first place? Before Hayden could further descend into his thoughts, an interchanging hot and cold, fiery but soft lips crashed on his. Hayden's lips were continuously bitten, played with, and sucked, while his waist and hips were continuously stroked by the man. He felt Zenos's lips licking his lips patiently, trying to beg and coax him for entrance—making him tremble—but he glared at Zenos in anger; this young master won't give you scheming devil a chance; he thought stubbornly and pressed
At Hotchville Zenos's lips curved up into a smile as he sat in the beautiful garden, one of Hayden's favorite places in Hotchville. After the duo's discussions that day, surprisingly, Hayden started acting normally and began to open up his feelings more, which made Zenos glad. But, Zenos still wants more action from him because his hunger and urge for Hayden keeps running deeper, but he can wait, he doesn't want to appear too needy, so he won't mistakenly scare the boy away. Zenos's calm expression slowly deepened into a frown, he calmly turned when he felt the presence of someone. Rose's face breaks into a smile upon seeing that masked figure, lost in her own thoughts and fantasy, Rose, suddenly ran into Zenos's embrace.'It's what he wants! He already likes me, I know it. If not, why did he turn the exact minute I'm about to hug him? Turns out Zeus isn't different, he was just purposely playing hard to get, just like every bad boy would.' Rose smiled beautifully as she ran int
"Hayden!What are you doing?" that was the sudden voice that made Hayden freeze. His heart sped up, and his body suddenly trembled in shock and fear.Hayden froze due to the realization of his actions. Yes! What was he doing? Jerking off to someone who lied to him? Is he that crazy and needy? Hayden thought with furrowed brows, cursing and scolding himself repeatedly. Hayden was very gloomy and in a bad mood throughout that day. He was deeply hurt, but he promised and encouraged himself not to cry for the hurt. No, he wouldn't cry.Instead, Hayden braced himself and began to play a fast-beat dancing song, but he was unable to pull himself together to do something; instead, he just looked at nothing in particular. Unknowingly making Hayden's mood worse, Zenos came that evening, which made Hayden more annoyed. Why didn't he know that Zenos was so pretentious? Why didn't he see it earlier? Hayden's heart is always warm and full of excitement whenever Zenos serves him, but now he was a
Justin leaned against the patio chair and took out his phone; his eyes grew soft, and he tapped open his phone gallery.Immediately, Justin opened his favorite photos, which included a sneak shot of Hayden. He fondly caressed the blurry faces of Hayden, and he exhaled ruefully. “What to do? I can't get over you.” He mumbled to himself. Especially Hayden’s tearful expression that night. The more he recalled, the more his heart ached on Hayden’s behalf. He really wished he had enough power to save Hayden from that boyfriend of his. Sigh! Justin shook his head to rid himself of Hayden's sad expression when Zenos yelled at him that night…“Oh no!” The familiar, annoying voice of Nougat cried out behind Justin, and Justin stiffened. Justin’s expression changed, and his voice rose a tad higher due to annoyance. "What are you doing here?" Justin coldly chided and quickly placed his phone into his pocket.Nougat’s eyes narrowed with a wicked and mischievous glint. His lips curved up in a
In a beautiful and serene luxurious private room, a peerlessly handsome man, donning a blasé expression on his face and a cinnamon roll in between his thin lips, majestically sat on a luxurious chair, faintly looking at the idiot in front of him.While the other, the supposed idiot, looked on the verge of tears. He extended his hand as if trying to clutch the handsome man's legs, yet his hand never touched the man's legs.“Big brother Zenos, don't be like this.” Jack pleaded pitifully, almost on the brink of tears.Even though Jack is older than Zenos, Jack doesn't mind begging the devilish Zenos in front of him to get what he wants.To even think that Jack doesn't know how he offended Zenos in the first place!Zenos calmly removed the cinnamon roll from his lips. He immediately directed a cold glare that froze Jack's soul right at that moment. He pronounced coldly, “What?” But in the next moment, Jack snapped out of his reverie and began to bawl so loudly that Zenos wanted nothing b
"Hayden, wake up or you'll be late for school." Zenos' eyes instantly fell on the sleeping Hayden. He extended his hands, patted Hayden's back, and tried to remove the blanket from the sleeping Hayden's right grip. Unfortunately, Hayden won't let go. Hayden puckered his lips and snuggled deeper into the blanket without opening his eyes. He shook his head and articulated, "I don't want to go to school." Hayden said in a sleepy voice while clutching his sense of comfort tighter before Zenos collected it from him completely. Early in the morning, Hayden hid under the blanket and continued sleeping even though he needed to attend school. This is the reason why Zenos had been trying to wake and pull a certain someone away from the bed. Unfortunately, the little rascal isn't ready to budge from position.Upon hearing the boy's words, Zenos arched his brows. He let go of the blanket and sat on the bed; his eyes fell on Hayden, and he cuddled Hayden to his chest. Gently, he stroked the boy
Zenos, that fool. Why is Zenos stupid? Why can't he realize that he's hurt? Why can't he be selfish for himself?Hayden was the one who rashly left; why was Zenos the one preparing all this for him when Zenos was the one who got hurt?"You fool!" Hayden sniffed and muttered in a shaky and bristly tone. His eyes fall on Zenos, who elegantly and majestically sits on one of the dining chairs.At that moment, Hayden realized that Zenos didn't have any intent of receiving phone calls in secrecy. It was actually all because of this.Of course, regardless of what call Zenos is receiving, Zenos used to take it in Hayden's presence. Hayden should have expected that Zenos wouldn't hide from him unless there was an issue.Hayden finally burst into tears when he saw the maids holding letters that formed the sentence, "Welcome back home, young master lazy Hayde."Hayden threw caution into the wind and rushed into Zenos's embrace. He sobbed and sniffed while hiccuping pitifully, his body trembling
Craig lowered his phone and leaned back while staring at the two dramatic couples, his eyes glinting and his lips raised in feigned contempt. Such a big show-off. Hmph. "So it's all over?" Craig said with a scoff, completely amused by the duo's behavior.One was so angry that he didn't even recognize, not to mention greet, his friends, while the other? Let's not even talk about the freezing aura oozing out of him! These two can be really crazy when they separate from each other. The hell did they fight for in the first place?Hayden pressed his lips together, coldly glanced at the annoying brat, and eyed him with irritation. What did Craig mean? Did he mean that Hayden and Zenos should keep fighting?“Wishing this to last longer?" Hayden scowled and held onto Zenos' hand tightly while thinking that all these people who can only speak to their partner and can't touch can be very miserable. Look at this jealous Craig. Hmph. HuffLuckily, he has his Zen!Mason paused his typing and scoff
Upon hearing Hayden's words, an amused smile crept on Zenos' face, and he nodded in agreement. He grabbed the boy's hand and placed his head on the boy's shoulder; he kissed the boy's smooth and pale cheek. "Hm, let's stay at home.” Upon hearing Zenos' words, a smile unconsciously lit up on Hayden's face. However, upon realizing that he had just smiled, Hayden quickly puffed out his cheek and looked away. Huff, that Zenos always knows how to placate him and make him smile so easily. So otherworldly!Zenos got down from Hayden and instead wrapped his hands around the boy's waist and pulled him closer. His eyes were fixated on the boy's lips, and their noses brushed against each other. "Stop holding grudges, young master lazy Hayden." He susurrated in a husky and deep voice. A surge of sweet sensation coursed down Hayden's spine, and his face and ears turned red. His lips subconsciously parted. However, before he could blink, the kiss that Hayden expected on his lips didn't happen
Ring The endless ringing of Hayden’s phone made Hayden groan and turn repeatedly. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and peered at the phone. After seeing the caller, Hayden grabbed a pillow and used it to cover his ears in ‘frustration.’ Hayden shut his eyes, ignored the call, and let it ring. After a few minutes of contemplation and endless ringing, Hayden picked up the call with a scowl. "What?" he articulated coldly. "Where are you?" Zenos inquired, his voice surprisingly gentle; clearly, he knew Hayden was still annoyed at him. The tides sure turned over!Upon hearing Zenos’s words, Hayden’s expression changed. He puffed out his cheeks, and he bellowed, "You think I don't know that you have men following and narrating my movement to you? You jerk!" He harrumphed coldly and cut off the call. Not up to twelve minutes, a calm-looking Zenos strode into the house. His eyes brushed past Hayden’s friends, and upon seeing that Hayden was absent, he nodded to them in greeting.
Hayden stomped into his mansion, his face reddened and his cheeks puffed out in anger. He clenched his fists, several thoughts pervading his mind. To think Zenos didn't follow him at all! Although Hayden said Zenos shouldn’t follow him, he didn’t expect that Zenos would indeed do as Hayden said. Hmph! Who cares anyway? Does he seem like he cares? No. He didn’t. He wasn’t moved a bit. Not a bit. Unfortunately, Hayden’s increasingly reddened eyes betrayed him. The night started so good and beautiful; how can it end like this? He even said that Zenos should give him a break; what if Zenos indeed does as he says… Hayden’s eyes reddened, and he was on the verge of bursting into tears… The sudden scoff of Mason and his sarcastic voice drifted into Hayden’s ear. "Oh. You remember you still have an apartment and friends here?” Mason chided without taking a glance away from his phone or taking a look at Hayden’s face. In fact, he believed that Hayden was there to visit them. “Stupid.” H
Upon seeing Zenos’s back, Zenos’s subordinate's expression changed instantly. One of them pointed at Zenos’s back. "Boss. You're…" Before the subordinates could let out a word, Zenos’s cold gaze swept past them.The subordinates immediately kept their mouths shut and could only watch Zenos stride past them. As soon as Zenos stepped out of the place, the subordinates’ expressions changed and their faces turned cold. How dare these lowly assassins do something like that? The subordinates inwardly swore to make the assassin's last days on earth a living hell! Zenos strode toward Hayden at a long and fast pace. He grabbed Hayden’s hand and dragged him out of the supermarket. As soon as they arrived in the parking lot, Zenos let go of the boy’s hand and scowled, his heart filled with petrification and heartache. What if he didn’t discover the gun and the bullet met Hayden? What if? The thought is enough to send overwhelming fear coursing through Zenos. "Are you crazy? How can you co
