“You want to measure my strength.” Zenos suddenly sent a punch to his right side, making someone groan. “Useless!” Zenos said, and all Hayden did was grab popcorn while watching the fight. He heard groans. Now, he dunno which is Zenos or his guards. Not up to 10 minutes, the light was turned on, and what Hayden saw shocked him. Zenos knocked 20 of his guards out and not a part of his shirt wrinkled. He didn't even break a sweat. “You?”“Cat got your tongue!” Zenos said and towered over Hayden authoritatively. “I said once it failed, it's no one's fault when I whipped your butt,” Zenos said, and immediately flipped Hayden on his stomach. Hayden was confident before, but now he can't help but gulp in fear. “You… You'll whip my ass?” With that inhumane strength. Dang, he doesn't think he can survive.“You scared?” Zenos chuckled in amusement. Actually, he wasn't a bit surprised because he knew Hayden is very tricky and won't let go easily. “Who's scared?” He said, trying to hide his n
“Hayden!” Andy yelled from downstairs and directly kicked Hayden's bedroom door open. Hayden jolted up from sleep, he looked at his surroundings and he sighed in ultimate relief when he discovered that it wasn't real, it was a dream. Yeah, it was a f*******g nightmare. It's all thanks to Andy that he woke up. Yeah, Andy. Hayden's eyes darkened in anger, it was time to settle Andy's last night's score for ditching him and leaving him at the hand of a certain pervert jerk that's the cause of his nightmare.“You!” Andy was actually annoyed. The person he was worrying about has actually been back and has been sleeping peacefully, while he can't sleep all night and kept thinking of him. To even think that Hayden switched off his phone when he(A) was worried about him(H) while he(A) thought it was that pompous bastard(Z) who stole Hayden away that switched off Hayden's phone. To even think he (A) lost his cool and even spent all night and morning saying offensive words at the man (Z).
Zenos diligently worked on some documents in his study. Suddenly, his phone was barricaded with texts. He sighed and picked up his phone. It was the handiwork of his inquisitive friend, so he directly muted them. He tapped Hayden's photo that was used as Hayden's display picture, Zenos directly saved it, but he was unsatisfied because it wasn't Hayden, it was the mask.'Awake?' his long fingers swiftly wrote and then dropped the phone.Suddenly, Zenos smiled, thinking about all Hayden's cute expressions when Zenos kissed him. The one that interested him the most was the time Hayden tried to escape, but found out that the door was locked. Zenos was originally in the study next door, but he could see all Hayden's actions because of the glass door that connected the rooms. Had it been Hayden was attentive that moment, he could have seen him. Hayden was sometimes unpredictable, which amazes him. Zenos knew he was missing Hayden already, but he couldn't say that on behalf of Hayden beca
“Dang, what a nice sleep, what I need now is a beautiful bath, massage, and a sumptuous 7-star meal!” Hayden said and rubbed his eyes with his fingers. He yawned and stretched happily, but still being careful enough. “Yeah, right? I was waiting for you.” Andy said. “See, your phone is buzzing due to messages.” Andy handed him the phone. Hayden nodded and collected the phone from Andy. He unconsciously looked for someone, and his eyes lit up when he saw the person's texts among the thousands of messages.“Zenos texted.” Hayden then snorted as he read the one-word or less than 5-word sentences. “Cold guy, does he know how to speak long sentences? The wealthy man who speaks coldly, calmly, and doesn't say much.” Andy immediately nodded, “He called me annoying that night, and boom! Many guards surrounded me. Dang, those bodyguards were burly and powerful, I originally thought he was gonna… KKK me that night!”“He dares not,” Hayden said and quickly tapped on Rose's messages. “Waouh, lo
This brother-in-law is really changing their little brother's temperament. Interesting! Jude and David sighed and shook their heads pitifully. This person would never learn!_“How many phones do you have?” Hayden turned to Andy and asked.“Two here bro!” Andy lifted the phones and turned back to ask again. “Why are you asking, though?”“I blacklisted Zenos's number, but why isn't he calling me with another number?” Hayden asked with lost confusion.“Didn't you aim for him not to call you, which is why you blacklisted him in the first place?” Andy questioned.“Well, I was just testing him,” Hayden muttered in dismissal. Andy himself doesn't know why he didn't believe Hayden's words. Why did he keep feeling like something serious is going to happen between the two? “What are you testing?” he asked again. Hayden pouted and threw his phone on the bed due to anger. “I don't know! I'm just playing around with him!” Hayden replied honestly but sounding a bit depressed subconsciously. A
By morning, when the knocked-out CEOs awoke they'd be ruined and because he has every power to back it up, none of them would be able to do anything, and whoever dares to be a little disturbance, he doesn't mind silencing them off. CEO Eric knew everything about his work which is why he doesn't deal with companies bigger than his, nor does he do anything that'll risk revealing his secret. Besides, he mostly works with owners, and he only works with companies with good potential and plans which are quite hard to find. CEO Eric had overlooked the LIVRE company's proposal two times, but the third one caught his eye. He originally wanted to see the owner, but he was instead sent this Anonymous CEO Zed and his friends. Staying anonymous at the company with no one seeing CEO Zed and his friends' faces, it doesn't take a second to know that CEO Zed is one influential person which is the reason he decided to work with them, but now he knew he had made a mistake, he should have really let
“What did you do to him?” Jude asked Zenos again. Addressing Sean with 'him' because he doesn't want anyone to catch their names as the walls have ears. Zenos leaned back and swirls the wine cup in his hand calmly. “Giving him a taste of what he wants!” He replied.“Wicked!” David muttered, downing his drink.“Master!” Xena's greeting interrupted the three.“Him?” Jude asked Xena, already knowing how much Xena liked Sean, which Sean wasn't interested in; which was the reason Zenos gave her the mission for Xena to see if Sean's opinion had changed during her absence. Sean counted Xena as a younger sister, while Xena wished he did take her as a woman. Some years ago, Xena, whose original name was Charmaine, was a shy girl. One day, Charmaine braced herself and confessed her feelings for Sean, but he immediately blew her bubbles by rejecting her and telling her she was just a younger sister to him, and that she should move on because there was nothing possible between them. Charmain
“Now, explain what you meant?” Rory immediately cleaned her tears. Her face softened as she began to explain her views. “Don't Master find it weird that Xena was active tonight? Master has several times in the past called Xena for acting stiff, but tonight she's happily seducing one of the masked men which meant they could be more familiar. Actually, CEO Zed is our top focus tonight, as Xena is the most beautiful lady, her priority should be the anonymous CEO Zed; why would she be seducing CEO Zed's friend instead of CEO Zed himself? Besides, doesn't Master find it odd that CEO Zed only called for Xena among the girls? If that Master was interested in Xena he should have accepted her seduction on the spot but after the proposal, CEO Zed wanted Xena which seems fishy to me. And it was after 30 minutes that Xena came out of the room, which is more than enough time to speak with that Master. And after her discussion, she even approached CEO Zed instead of Master, which is weirder. Nobod
"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
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
