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
It was soon shown that it wasn't fine because the next day, Hayden still didn't show any signs of waking up, which caught everyone by an alarm. Andy took on the mission of buying their meals because he was sure that if he didn't, Hayden's parents wouldn't put their minds to eating, so he has to take on the work of making sure they are well-fed. He was on his way back from buying breakfast that morning when he saw something that made his eyes widen in surprise. Andy was dumbfounded, and he quickly rubbed his eyes in surprise to confirm. Yes, it's Zenos! Even if the person was in a mask, Andy could still recognize Zenos' outstanding figure. “Hey, you, please wait…” Andy had a feeling that Zenos would ignore him, which was true because Zenos did ignore him. Andy immediately sped up his pace and quickly ran up to Zenos. He immediately stood in front of Zenos to block him.“Please, just see him. Even if it's once or for the last time, please. I know I'm greedy with my request, but c
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
