“Intending to flee again?” Zenos' blue eyes were filled with uncontained anger.“I…” Hayden's heart started to race. He stared at Zenos with a stunned expression.After a few seconds, he was able to process the meaning behind Zenos' cold glare. He finally understood the meaning behind Zenos' actions, and it made him tremble. Zenos lifted Hayden's chin angrily, his blue eyes glowing dangerously and his thin lips in a straight line. “You never learn, do you?” He spat out. Zenos was so annoyed. He really wanted to smack sense into this little overthinker of his who thought he was only choosing the best choice, which was capable of tearing them apart. Hayden finds himself scared by this side of Zenos, and he can't help but shrink back with fear, which further increases Zenos' anger. Hayden's lips parted to explain himself, but before Hayden could muster any words, Zenos bent slightly and threw Hayden onto his shoulder. Hayden's heart skipped a bit. No, it started racing. He finally
"There Zenos. Yes." Hayden cried out, a smile on his face, while Zenos massaged Hayden's back, adding strength when necessary and withdrawing it when not. Hayden continued to beam with delight until Zenos' hand suddenly began to inch downward. Knowing the type of person Zenos was, Hayden kicked him off without warning. "Ouch." Hayden sucked in a cold breath and cried out upon pulling a muscle mistakenly due to the kick. And because of that, he glared at Zenos, the culprit, saying, "Lustful beast." He harrumphed and buttoned his shirt quickly. Zenos lay beside Hayden, hugged him, and poked Hayden's nose playfully, "You think too much. I didn't do anything or plan to." He refuted with a sincere face, only for Hayden to harrumph loudly. Hayden knew how fast Zenos' passion could be ignited, so he didn't believe Zenos' words. He definitely didn't believe that lustful person. "Taking precautions also." He commented and ruffled Zenos' hair. His eyes lit up upon feeling t
“It seems being unable to get in control is making that old man jittery. Sending Jade to Zenos, huh? Wrong option.” David muttered and scowled, tapping something on his phone while pacing the room. Suddenly, his brows knitted into a frown, and he stopped in his tracks. He sat on the sofa and placed his phone on his lap. “Something is wrong.” David turned to Jude with a contemplative stare. Actually, David was about to leave the suite to stroll around when he saw the scene between Zenos, Hayden, and Jade. And because of that, he dumped his choice and returned to the room. Thinking about it now, David realized that he had never seen Zenos that cold before, and it made him realize something. Jude leaned back on the sofa with leisure and asked, “What?” Even though he had an idea of what David was about to ask him.“Zenos had exceptionally sharp ears since childhood; how come he didn't know Hayden caught Rose and his interaction?” David mumbled, his brows furrowed in bewilderment. Ju
“It seems Luke's State is about to get riled up again.” The expressions of the five patriarchs grew solemn at that sentence, and the room fell into an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes, everyone lost in their thoughts. The two shadow guards walked out of the VVIP room with the corpse while trying not to disturb the thinking patriarchs. Chase Anderson suddenly clenched his fist hard, breaking the silence. “Can this be related to him?” He whispered with furrowed brows. Zeke Edouard shook his head after a few seconds and said, “No, it isn't. His people won't make such beginner mistakes, and he's smart about leaving no trace of evidence. Moreover, he held a dislike for the winter period; he wouldn't live in a cold place. Furthermore, he's dead, and his subordinate has either sold him out or been dealt with by us.” Zeke Edouard confirmed.“Yes, you're right.” Chase Anderson nodded. “But still, we won't leave any stones unturned. We have to find whoever is about to…” Edric Cadie
Hayden rubbed his ears, his face blazing red, which made Zenos' lips curl slightly. The flustered Hayden hurriedly pushed Zenos away, and with his shaky legs, he began to limp outside, his face brighter than ever. Zenos chuckled and went after his cute boyfriend. He held out his hand, and Hayden slipped his hand into Zenos' hand, and they both held each other. As if he had just recalled something, Hayden touched his bare face and came to a stop. He stared at Zenos, who had just entered the elevator and was waiting for Hayden to do the same. Due to Zenos' teasing, Hayden had momentarily forgotten about the mask, but now feeling the absence of the mask on his face made Hayden hesitate about his decision. Hayden bit his lower lips and took a step back. Zenos wasn't disappointed by Hayden's actions. Instead, he smiled at Hayden as if he knew what the boy was thinking. “You can do it. Remember, I promised to protect you.” He coaxed patiently. Hayden's face turned pale, and his brow
“Do you think that person wants Zenos? No matter how much I looked, it seemed to be so.” He whispered, biting his lower lip unhappily. Sean chuckled lightly, caressing Craig's hand. “Zenos will only have eyes for Hayden. Just as I have my eyes on you alone,” he proclaimed seriously, since he knew that the person with Zenos was none other than Hayden. And since Craig had yet to know the truth about Hayden, Sean couldn't just reveal the truth to him impulsively. Craig almost had the impulse to roll his eyes. “Cheesy,” he replied, with a beam that revealed he believed in Sean's explanation and was sweetened by it. Craig continued to watch the two silently until they began to make their way toward another table. At this rate, he almost felt like a creep, but upon remembering it was all for his brother, he continued. If Hayden had acted normal, Craig wouldn't even want to spare him a gaze but seeing the person wrap around Zenos made him infuriated.“Zenos!” Craig yelled and waved at Z
Logan furrowed his brows and silently tapped on the phone, his whole concentration on the game he was playing.After winning for the umpteenth time, Logan powered off his phone and stared at the clouds with the headphones on his head, playing his favorite music.He looked to his side, and he saw an unfamiliar man in a suit with his eyes closed, which revealed that he was either resting or pretending to be.Logan sighed, feeling an overwhelming sense of loneliness.A nagging thought kept on telling him that everything was different because when Xavier and Logan flew to Grail State, they kept on having work discussions since Logan and Xavier sat next to each other, unlike now when he was flying back alone.Logan suddenly felt a tightening in his chest.It felt as if he was missing someone or something, yet he couldn't put a finger on what it was, but coalescing the feelings together made him feel hurt and lonely, his heart aching and thrumming.What was he missing?“Mr. Logan.” A forei
Craig's head was held high as they alighted from Zenos's car. The unmasked Hayden was about to make his way toward Zenos, hold Zenos' arms, and return to the hotel when Craig's eyes were pinned on him fiercely."It's late. Won't you go home already?" Craig glared at the shameless person who had fun throughout the day with Zenos yet still planned not to let Zenos go in the evening when that time should belong to Hayden. How can Craig accept that? Hayden glared at Craig unhappily. He didn't know if he should categorize Craig as his friend or archenemy after all he had gone through in Craig's hands today. If Craig can do it, he'll definitely prevent Hayden from talking to Zenos, not to mention interacting with Zenos. Hayden was quite grateful that his friend's hand didn't itch enough to make it violent because Hayden was his clingy self. Perhaps, it was because that stinky Craig is with Sean? Only Heaven and Craig know. Hayden knew what Craig was thinking, and it warmed his fille
