Hayden suddenly had the feeling that he had been scammed by the previous, always-cool Zenos, and it made him stupefied for a few seconds. Hayden began to feign crying, “Wahh! Where is my previously cool and cold Zenos? This person is surely a wolf in sheep's clothing…” Hayden mumbled with a red face. Zenos smirked at him and arched his eyebrows, “Who planned to eat you until there were no bones left.” Zenos completed, which made Hayden turn red.“Shut up! Shut up!” Hayden yelled in a fluster and threw a couple of pillows at Zenos in feigned anger.Zenos suddenly held Hayden's waist tightly, pulling him closer. He looked deeply into Hayden's eyes as if he was searching for something in those few seconds, which made Hayden clutch his shirt, occasionally taking a nervous gulp. “I…” Before Hayden could finish his words, Zenos lowered his head to kiss Hayden deeply. He smiled when he saw Hayden panting with his face exceptionally red. Zenos chuckled while wondering how he didn't know
Jude was puzzled for a few minutes upon hearing David's words, “Isn't Sean straight?” Jude asked after a few seconds of not being able to hold back. David shrugged nonchalantly. “He was, but now he seems to be wrapped around that boy's finger, just like Zenos is with Hayden. Never mind, my question is, do you know who that boy is…” David asked, but before he could finish his words, Jude interrupted calmly. “The heir of….” David shook his head immediately and said, “No… Not that. That's not what I'm talking about.” “Then what's?” Jude asked. “He's Hayden's close friend,” David informed Jude, which made Jude arch his brows listlessly since he couldn't see the connection. “And…” “Wait!” Jude suddenly sat up, eyes widening in astonishment. He gasped and slapped his lap in excitement when he understood what David was about to say. Sean is in trouble!!! David grinned slyly when he recalled what trouble Sean had placed himself in earlier, “He bragged to Hayden earlier that he'd be
Hayden suddenly recalled something that made him furrow his brows: “Wait… what does Caleb mean that you're the person from last night? Did you meet him last night?” Hayden tilted his neck, his eyes filled with curiosity.Zenos paused for a few seconds. “He saw his friend kissing a man shamelessly while pretending to be drunk,” Zenos explained with a mischievous smirk.Hayden scoffed in reply; obviously, he didn't believe Zenos' words considering that Caleb arrived after he left Zenos, “Be serious.”“That's true.” Zenos shrugged.“What the heck?” Hayden covered his red face; he was deeply embarrassed. What would Caleb think of him and his shameless actions now? But then, Hayden doesn't mind; after all, his relationship will soon come to light, but to think of his brazen actions last night, he almost beat himself up. Well, he'd cover it by being drunk. Zenos seeing Hayden's embarrassed state, couldn't help but wonder if Hayden was embarrassed of his new friends seeing the both of the
“Boohoo. You're so cruel to me. Really cruel to me.” Hayden complained pitifully, but still couldn't help drinking it all under Zenos' fierce gaze.“I'll be back,” Zenos said and stood up after Hayden had finished the drug in his presence. Hayden immediately scoffed at him in reply. He was still holding a grudge against Zenos because he forced him to take so many drugs without sweets to accompany them. Now the bitterness of the drugs was spreading in his mouth. “Whatever.” Hayden snorted and began to play with his phone. After a few minutes, Hayden found playing with his phone boring, so he began to roll around impatiently. Hayden's thought flashed past to his and Zenos's first and second nights, and the difference was clear. Hayden suddenly remembered the blue robe Zenos had promised to give him once they became a couple. “Zenos, where's my blue robe?” Hayden demanded. Zenos walked toward him with a glass of milk in his hand. “It's in the closet,” Zenos said and handed the glass
“Dad, is there anything wrong? Your voice sounded different.” Although Ethan's voice showed his excitement, Hayden could notice the trace of tiredness in his father's voice, which made him begin to worry. Ethan pursed his lips upon hearing Hayden's words. Even though he tried to hide the trace of distress in his voice, Hayden was still able to notice it. “It's nothing,” Ethan replied to him with a light smile. Hayden couldn't help thinking that something was wrong with the company and that his father was trying to hide it in order not to make him worry. “Dad, stop hiding from me. I'm not a young boy anymore.” Hayden said in a mischievous, cute, young voice, which made his parents laugh slightly. “Go on.” Zenni mouthed to Ethan, which made him nod. Ethan sighed and decided to tell Hayden as he wanted. After all, Hayden isn't a young boy, as he claimed. Moreover, Hayden would be the owner of the company soon and the next patriarch of the family, so the best thing is to start in
“Who's at the door?” Zenos strode over. He was in black pants that accentuated his long legs and an open robe that gave people the chance to peek at the toned 8 packs. Zenos heard Hayden's little argument, which made him walk over. Hayden and Xena immediately stood away from each other when they heard Zenos approaching. It was as if they weren't the arguing duo a few seconds ago. “Big brother Zenos, I have the documents ready,” Xena said calmly as Zenos walked over with his chest bare. Hayden frowned in displeasure upon seeing Zenos' naked chest. He swept his eyes over Xena's face, only to see that she didn't look at Zenos the way a woman would look at a man. Still, Hayden wasn't the one to believe something was true or not because of a one-time sign. Hayden immediately collected the document from Xena and handed it to Zenos. “Go inside, quickly,” Hayden said and pushed Zenos back. He quickly closed the door, so Xena wouldn't be able to take a peek at Zenos' amazing body. After al
“We don't know who that person is, but we all need to be alert.” “Maybe we haven't eliminated the incident from that year completely.” Harvey Schaeffer said, which made everyone's expression change. Everything fell silent until Ethan said with a solemn voice, “It could be. The safety of ours and the generation should be extra tight from now on.” Ethan muttered, which made everyone agree in the affirmative because they didn't know what that person planned to do or when he'd be carrying out his plans.“Ethan. I'm glad that you're back.” Zeke Édouard said with a smile, which made Ethan scoff in annoyance before cutting off the call. Zeke Édouard's expression changes to a sad one: “His little boy took his character. Back then…” Zeke Édouard suddenly sighed upon remembering the past. “It still hurts to think that Hayden is dead.”____“I'll like you to bathe me.” Hayden hugged Zenos from behind while his hand fondled the man's sturdy abs. He smiled to himself and suddenly huffed in fake
“Wait, where are you going?” Zenos turned toward Hayden and said, “Take off my clothes.” Zenos replied to Hayden, which made Hayden narrow his eyes in confusion. Zenos' trail of thoughts couldn't be understood by the poor Hayden, no matter how hard he tried to decipher it. Hayden rested his elbow, placed his chin on his elbow, and began to grin wildly, saying, “Don't tell me you're shy to take off your clothes in front of this master? What's there to hide? I have seen and touched everything.” He spewed out with a mocking smile, enjoying how Zenos' eyes continued to darken. Zenos returned to Hayden's side and began to take off his clothes, and in a swift motion, Zenos was undressed. Hayden gulped in shock when he came across that insatiable younger brother of Zenos standing so proud. Hayden shivered fearfully while beginning to think that he was shooting himself in the foot by telling Zenos to bathe him and to take off his clothes. Chills ran through Hayden's spine which made hi
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
Hayden puckered his lips and rolled around on the bed. He sighed heavily and tightly clutched the pillow. Hayden is certain that Zenos will feel bad for not being able to cuddle with him, right? Especially when Zenos thought about not being able to kiss and touch Hayden for three days. Zenos had always been touchy and couldn't do without kissing the boy, hugging him, etc. Hehe. Serves Zenos right! Suddenly, Hayden's eyes shone, and he giggled. Zenos, that person has always been strict when it comes to Hayden. Seeing Zenos nervous and the tide switching. Hayden inexplicably feels good, and his illusionary tail hangs high into the clouds. Serves Zenos right. Hmph. Zenos won't only be missing Hayden, but he won't be able to act touchy or bully him for three days! The more Hayden thought like this, the more eager he was to experience these three days. Hayden leisurely rubbed his eyes and yawned. He slipped into the bedcover and covered himself. Soon, his eyes shut, and he f
The sensor-activated range hood and air purifiers already began to operate after detecting the exuding smoke. Due to the fact that he had returned to the study, Zenos hadn't heard the timer finish its timer countdown, so the oven continued to work. Zenos pulled open the oven, and his expression changed upon seeing the Turducken's current state. The expected crispy brown turkey is now burnt and dark, its edges slightly blackened. A sense of dread hit Zenos immediately. The boy already warned Zenos not to mess things up, or else he'll be really infuriated. The boy's infuriated expression immediately appeared in Zenos' mind, and his heart sank. If the turkey skin is burnt, then the inside…Zenos grabbed a knife and sliced the turkey, clearly hoping that the damage was minimal. His expression slipped upon noticing that the turkey meat was dry around the edges, its moisture beginning to evaporate. The outer layer of the duck is overcooked and drier than it should be. However, th
The Heart product that the sweet tongue Hayden was completely obsessed with was a completely new product and brand Zenos created solely because of Hayden's sweet tongue. Months ago, when Zenos first presented the new product to the shareholders, the product idea was completely opposed by a lot of shareholders. After all, the company has always done something different, so why would their company stoop so low to do something risky and low like creating junk like chocolate, cookies, etc.? What if it doesn't sell? Regardless of the shareholders' disgruntlement and rejections, Zenos went on to launch the product with his resources. Even though Heart was just a product that was launched in less than one month with no advertisement made, it broke world record sales and became the nation's favorite and the most expected snack brand in the country in less than a month! By then, the shareholders who all went against it could only bite their fingers in regret. Seeing the huge profits that
"Zen, you can back out and let me bid.” Hayden smacked his lips together and raised his head to stare at Zenos seriously; his actions of helping Zenos fix the apron came to a pause.Hayden saying this… It's not that Hayden looked down on or underestimated Zenos' ability to make a turducken. After all, Zen is the best, and Zen is a multi-talented genius.It's just that Zenos has been busy dealing with company work since the past week, and Zenos doing this means that Zenos won't be able to complete the work he had to do during this time.This means that Zenos has extended his work, and the time Zenos is supposed to spend resting will be spent completing the work.Furthermore, judging by the details on the web and cooking recipes, Turducken requires focus and patience, which means that at the end of the day, Zenos will be tired.Zenos is already busy dealing with work, and Hayden has been trying to make Zenos rest; the thought of adding Turducken to all this chaos doesn't sit well with H
Hayden hummed rhythmically and shook his perky butt to the tune, his hands drawing and painting and his eyes fixated on the drawing.Suddenly, Hayden's phone alarm rang, interjecting Hayden's actions.Upon hearing the alarm sound, Hayden straightened his back, carefully took the painting, and hid it at the back of the shelf.Immediately, Hayden returned to the board and took out another paper. He began to doodle on the paper and resume his humming and shaking.Zenos silently opened the door and stepped into the gallery in order not to disturb someone. Upon seeing the enticing sight of Hayden shaking his butt while humming rhythmically, Zenos paused and gulped.Immediately, Zenos strode toward the boy and smacked his perky butt, albeit gently.Hayden's face flushed, and his ear turned red. He straightened his back and turned back to glare at Zenos fiercely. "What was that for?" He uttered with a harrumph.Zenos extended his hands and hugged Hayden from behind, his hands slowly massagin
