Hayden came out of his shock and replied to them.“You haven't learned about not bullying a girl.”“Hayden is the best.” Mia sent him a happy smile and a thumbs up. Hayden sat on the sofa. He leaned forward with a serious and concentrated expression on his face. “Hey y'all, let's talk about it now…” Hayden called for their attention, and they all turned to look at him. “Guys, what do you think about not going to the club…” Mason snorted and interrupted before Hayden could complete his sentence. “Haven't you learned the lesson of following orders?” Hayden glared at Mason. Talking about this jerk who's always the one to refute his words. Hayden scratched his head, knowing they don't seem to want to bend their so-called 'orders'.“Hm. But… We are minors.” He blurted out. Upon realizing his words, he almost beat himself up! What stupid lies and sh*tty excuses! Minors? Minors? Damn Hayden, you can do better! He thought and scowled at himself. They all turned to look at him contemptuou
“Your pills?” Jude shook the pill vials in front of Zenos whose head was bent as he 'worked' on a document, but everyone in the room knows that what he was actually doing isn't working. Zenos was emitting a freezing aura while glaring at the document, which was facing in the opposite direction it should. Jude dropped the pill in front of the 'sulking' Zenos while using that medium to turn the document correctly. Zenos raised his head to look at Jude. “What for?” He asked, talking about the pill. His voice was calm, yet there was undisguised anger that was evident in his eyes.“Damn, what's going on with you all day?” Sean can't take it anymore because Zenos has been glaring and emitting that cold aura all day. Even though it successfully scared the business partners into doing the deals at their own convenience, it kept sending them away earlier than they had planned.“You've been acting like a woman on her f******* period, bro,” Sean yelled, only for Zenos to brush him off with the
“You know it; I'm the law. And it takes nothing for me to suppress or crush you and the people behind you with my feet. I have that power, and no one can stop me when I mean it. Don't push your luck, Mr. Williams.” She warned, “You still detest my standing.” He said with a solemn frown; his fists were clenched, and his eyes had many words written in them. He bowed his head, and when he lifted it, all his raging emotions had been firmly suppressed. “But I'm still the best choice. And Miss Mia, please keep in mind that you're not the only one who soars; I also did, and…”“No matter what it is you do,” Mia interrupted; she leaned back like a goddess; her aura and appearance were ethereal, and it made everything pale. “Sell your soul to the devil or not; still, you'll always be beneath me. I'll keep trampling you with my feet.” She said, twirling her hair with boredom. William clenched his fist as he saw Mia's actions and reactions. He knew Mia never put him into thoughts; she never did
Mia blushed slightly at the sexy sight, but she quickly bowed her head so no one would see. “Nah. It's all Mia's idea; she's one hell of a planner!”“Hey!” Mia raised her face, which was now calm from her blushing. “It's everyone's opinions and actions that made it work,” Mia replied with a smile.“Did you just blush?” Mason teased, making it obvious that he saw Mia's blushing image, but didn't say earlier.“Shut up, I didn't!” She snapped at him.“I'm sure you did, man. Turns out you're not only manly, but you're also girly.” Mason teased, which made Mia puff up. “Be careful, or else I'll knock you out, so you won't be able to go to the club.” “Even if I die, I won't have any regrets, beautiful. But be my girlfriend first…”“Shut up. Stop teasing her, dude!” Hayden chastised Mason and smacked him right on the head. He found Mia's angry face pitiful.“Idiot,” Mason remarked. Mia froze for a few seconds, and her heart began to pound after Hayden showed his manliness. Has her efforts
Jude lifted his head away from his phone and answered. “159 opposite room 169.”“Wonderful numbering. It's right here. Identical shit!” Sean mumbled, which caused the three to send him a glance for his profanity. Room 159 is a private room. Room 169 is a well-soundproofed private party hall. No matter how loud the volume of a song or noise is, it can't spill out of the private room. Zenos knew, and the thought of it made him clench his fist.“That cunning bastard,” Zenos muttered after understanding what that person had planned.“Who's got on your nerves now?” David questioned casually, and that's when the door automatically opened to reveal a sexy, handsome man leaning on the chair. Xavier came across his Michael's best friends, no brothers, that evening for the first time, and it was surprising when he saw them not using masks. After all, he knew they only visited their business partners in masks. His assertion that Zenos knew everything immediately stood firm.“Is that sexy demon
“This will be one hell of a fun night. All the beautiful ladies. Here I come.” Mason yelled to his friends but calmly walked out like the dignified heir he was.“You promiscuous man, you have a girlfriend.” Hayden chided him and pulled him back by the collar.“Damn, I forgot. My baby is inside. I hurry in first,” Mason said, and he strode inside.“Me also.” Simon chirped and dashed in. Hayden and Philip turned to look at each other at the over-eagerness, then shrugged.“Hayden.” Mia came down from the car and stretched her hand to grab his arm. She smiled and placed her head on his shoulder. She was totally carefree, knowing there'd be no way a paparazzo could sneak in this time. Mia's plan for placing her claim on Hayden so that no bitch would seduce him, especially when he's looking most handsome, started tonight. Apart from that, she has made up her mind to begin her journey by making him hers. Hayden feigned a carefree smile; he removed his hand from hers and said. “Go on withou
“Prince Hayden. You're looking hot tonight.” A girl dressed in a black suit coupled with a miniskirt walked over. She had fake cat ears on her head. Hayden nodded at the girl while he tried to remember her face; he later remembered that she was a cheerleader.“I heard you don't have a partner tonight…” The cheerleader gave him a scheming smirk, which made his expression icy. She clink her glass with his.“Who said he doesn't have a partner?” Mia asked, slipping her hand around Hayden's shoulder and placing her head on his shoulder, protectively. The cheerleader's expression changed into an unhappy one. The person in front of her is Mia, a top star. So, she wasn't at that level where she could cross her. “Aren't you his friend?” She commented with a smile.“I'll be back,” Hayden muttered and left immediately before he was pulled into the childish banter that had begun to occur among the girls. Hayden was beginning to get offended by Mia's clingy actions, but he knew she was doing it
“It's a mistake… I'm sor…” Hayden tried to apologize, but he soon froze; his eyes widened, and his breath hitched when his eyes met those special blue eyes, Zenos's. There was a lady beside Zenos, and even though they both looked serious like they were talking about business, it made Hayden boil in fury because he had a feeling that she was the secretary that the matchmaker person was talking about.“Zenos.” Hayden whispered in a soft, calm, yet firm tone. His eyes searched the man's eyes for any emotions, but what he saw was nonchalance. Xavier looked bored at the interaction; he leaned back with amusement and curiosity, but there seemed to be something mischievous and wild playing in his blue eyes as he asked Zenos. “You know him?”“No,” Zenos replied without hesitation, which made Hayden glare at him. Bastard! He ignored him on purpose, just because he was in the presence of that girl. Cruel man! He cursed inwardly.“Dare to say that again?” Hayden glared at Zenos with anger and
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
