Why does it seem Hayden craved trouble today? Heaven! Although Zenos was kilometers away from Hayden, Hayden really didn’t want to provoke that person too much. He was afraid. He was afraid that when the time came, he'd really be unable to pay it all.Hayden sensibly smacked his lips together. He hurriedly shook his head and waved his hands nervously… but upon recalling that Zenos wasn’t around him, he cleared his throat and tried to explain himself despite his quivering lips."Ah, Zen, you heard it wrong... I didn’t mention Mia. I meant Mason. Yeah, not missing. It’s Mason. Not Mia. Mason.” Hayden stuttered while trying to clarify. Even though it was obvious that Hayden was lying, Hayden inwardly wished that Zenos would be romantic enough to believe his stupid lie and let it pass.Hearing the stifling silence from the other side, Hayden placed his phone on his lap before putting it on speaker.His little heart was now thrumming with every second that ticked, and his smooth hands had
Upon hearing Hayden, that little rascal, bunch of nonsensical words, Zenos’ brows furrowed in amusement.Hayden, that little rascal didn’t realize that Zenos hadn’t cut off the call, did he?A whole sense of enigma clouded Zenos' face, making one unable to decipher his emotions.Upon hearing Hayden’s threat about the breakup, Zenos' blue eyes turned colder, and he stopped tapping the car seat.Zenos stared at the phone and seriously calculated the number of minutes it'd take a sleepy Hayden to come down and open the door.Soon, Hayden’s activities kept drifting into his ears, making his lips curved up in amusement.His index finger tapped the car seat rhythmically at a steady, calm pace.Hearing Hayden begin to approach the door, Zenos alighted the car, and he began to strode towards the door in a long stride.Coincidentally, the mansion’s door was opened by Hayden.Zenos' expression softened, and the whole sense of gloomy aura surrounding Zenos immediately diffused as soon as Zenos'
Zenos inched his lips next to Hayden's ear and began to lick the soft and sensitive earlobe. He tightened his wrap around Hayden's waist and susurrated, "So eager about our bed activities?” Zenos stared at Hayden meaningfully. Although he didn't say a word, Hayden understood that Zenos was implying that Hayden had purposely put on Zenos' outfit to seduce me. Hayden gnashed his teeth. He wasn't lustful. Not at all. It was Zenos’ fault. Yes, Zenos purposely tricked him! Hayden didn't expect Zenos to be in Grail. In fact, he expected some packages or a devising trick from Zenos. He didn't expect to meet Zenos instead. Anyway, Hayden won't deny that he likes that surprise so much, except that... Hayden's shoulder drooped. The thought of how much trouble he had caused himself alone is enough to make him want to cry an ocean. Sigh! Seeing that person's meaningful gaze, Hayden flared up, and he snorted. How could he seduce Zenos when he didn't know Zenos would be around? He stuck hi
Hayden lazily leaned back on the passenger seat with doe eyes and slightly swollen lips.He and Zenos are currently in a matching set of white t-shirts and black jeans and trousers. Hayden has a black hat on, while Zenos has a black cap on.Hayden propped his head, his green eyes shining with excitement. The more he stared at Zenos, the more satisfied he was, and the more his illusionary tail hung high. Such an exquisite, impeccably handsome man was all his alone. Even when Hayden was drunk, he knew how to choose the best.Hayden's drunken picking was so outstanding that it'll put other people's sober picking to shame.Hayden puckered his lips together and kept staring at Zenos' face. The more he stared, the more he missed Zenos.Sigh! Those months without Zenos were so dull.Zenos' brows casually arched upon seeing Hayden's shining eyes while staring at Zenos intensely.An enticed Hayden leaned forward, and before he could process it, he had placed a kiss on Zenos' cheeks.Upon real
Hayden had yet to complete his mischievous declaration when Zenos grabbed his chin fiercely and wrapped his hands around the boy's waist. He captured the boy's lips in an intense kiss instantly.Hayden's mind felt as if it had just exploded. His eyes fluttered shut, and his hands grabbed Zenos' shirt in reflex.The kiss was as intense as a wave, crashing Hayden intensely and giving Hayden no chance to retreat. Hayden's brain turned muddled, and his legs turned to jelly. If it weren't for Zenos' hands that wrapped around his waist, Hayden would have collapsed on the floor long ago. It wasn't until Hayden went short of breath that Zenos released him. Hayden exhaled and leaned on Zenos for support.Hayden's swollen lips parted slightly, and his green eyes filled with moisture due to the deep kiss. He panted, his chest heaving up and down in gasps for breath."No?" Zenos' voice, even though calm, had coldness and danger lacing through it, causing the poor Hayden to shiver fearfully. Ze
Zenos sat next to Hayden and wrapped his hands around the boy's waist.A newly released rom-com movie named Please, Mr. Overbearing, Don't Sway My Heart began to play. Hayden grabbed Zenos' hand and tightened his hold on him, his heart exceptionally filled with warmth. Hayden had casually mentioned wanting to watch the record-breaking movie whenever he had time, but he never expected that Zenos would go to extra length for him. How could he not be filled with sweetness?Hayden inwardly promised that he'd also do his best to make Zenos happy!Hayden placed his head on Zenos' shoulder and whispered a sincere, "Thank you!" He raised his head and placed a kiss on Zenos' cheeks. Zenos' lips curved up, and his expression softened.He took out his phone to sneak a photo shot of Hayden and himself, but...Unfortunately, Hayden turned to look at Zenos at that moment.Hayden's illusionary tail hung high immediately. He raised his chin and leaned over smugly. "Is Chairman Zenos being romantic
Zenos purposely bit the boy's collarbone harshly, causing the boy to moan loudly. Hayden belongs to him; how could Hayden call another man handsome? The thought made Zenos eat vinegar.Hayden's swollen lips parted in a gasp, and his green eyes turned red. He hurriedly shook his head while panting softly. "No. Not... not handsome. That person isn't handsome at all." Hayden cried out pitifully while hoping that Zenos would soften and let him go without a hitch.Hayden felt as if he were about to go crazy. He was infuriated about the repeated clinginess and kiss. How did Zenos take out the handsome part? Earlier, Hayden had been so filled with grievances that he didn't even bother thinking about his words and replies, or even if he had 5000 lives, he wouldn't dare..."Ah, Zen!" Hayden gasped loudly, and his back arched upon being bitten by Zenos in the neck. Tears pooled in his eyes, and he cried out, "Zen, you're the most handsome in my heart. No one is as handsome as Zen in my eyes."
Hayden raised his hand towards his mouth and used it to smack his lips, silently chiding himself.How could he say such brazen words to Zenos? Did the months spent apart make Hayden forget what type of jealous and revengeful person Zenos is?Hayden's eyes turned teary, and he looked up at the ceiling dramatically. He really wanted to cry a river at his perfect ability to cause trouble. But...Wait! Hayden paused, and his brows knitted. Thinking about it now, why is Zenos not leaving a comment or threat about Hayden's brazen actions? Except to give Hayden a meaningful gaze or warning glance, in fact, Zenos hadn't been doing anything.Upon realizing this, Hayden's eyes shone, and he rubbed his palm in excitement.Did Zenos learn to be magnanimous and caring towards Hayden, this baby of his, or is Zenos keeping quiet because it was their official first date?Thinking like this, Hayden straightened his back, and his lips curved upward evilly. His eyes squinted wickedly. Hehe, it does
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
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
