At least, she'll still get her revenge! Philip now, Kaz later! So, that's it! Philip finally understood why Kaz would be whispering sweet nothing to him while pushing him away whenever he wanted to touch. It's not that something is wrong with her – like she's traumatized. It's the stupid girl who has been playing her games right from the beginning, and he was the fool who was falling into her love trap without hesitancy. Kaz could have deterred him by telling him she had a boyfriend in the beginning, but she lied to him saying she was single when in fact she was in a relationship with a gangster. Philip knew Country X is known for being shameless when it comes to fighting! And ganging up on another just to win a fight is worth nothing to them. They believed that if you have the ability, then you can find your own gang. Seeing how they were over seventy men surrounding him from all sides. Two words: it's over! 'Some men are shameless.' a lady suddenly harrumphed in support of
“Father already knew, what more did you want to know?” Mason replied in unhappiness and with that, he strode to his room in anger. He really had to make that boy apologize to him in front of everyone.In Country S, Gaest State. In a beautiful and expensive mansion, a beautiful and cute girl in her teens held her mom's hand as they watched a high school drama. Seeming to recollect something, she pouted and let out. “Mom, I'd like to move to Staery.” The mother, a woman in her 40s, shook her head and cupped her daughter's cheeks. “No, Anna, we can't let you live nor study far from us,” she said again. The teen girl, whose name is Anna, stomped her feet playfully and continued to try to persuade her Mom. “But mom, there are top-notch talents in Staery, and befriending them is good for our family's business future…” Hazel elegantly walked down the stairs; she was just coming from her room. She was dressed in a casual long-sleeved white shirt and pleated red mini skirt, unlike Anna, wh
Walking through the stairs, Mason discovered that the house is void of people. “Why is it so empty here?” He whispered with a frown.“Stupid! Because I lived alone, of course.” Hayden replied with mockery, he was now at his door. And when he opened the door, he saw Mason staring at him as if he were about to enter his room. “You want to watch me undress?” Hayden questioned with a scowl. “Get the f*** going now!” Hayden declared and shut the door right in his face.“Ok,” Mason shrugged, unworried. “Just know this is not finished,” Mason replied, and with that, he strode downstairs. Mason walked around the large sitting room and even though it was very big, it was very cold. How can Hayden be the only one living alone in this big mansion? Mason wondered. Even though he shouldn't because it was none of his concern, Mason found himself being curious about the identity of this person, but that doesn't mean he would let the person go. Never! Soon, Hayden came down, dressed in a loose b
He wished the man would at least hold on to his antagonism until the end of a serious talk, but knowing Harvey… He would never!Edric Cadieux interrupted, which put an end to Harvey and Chase. It made Chase sigh in relief, but he was soon glared at by Harvey again. “Hion isn't a sapling anymore.” Edric Cadieux began. “He's now a powerful and a household name for it to be uprooted. Besides, we still don't know who is behind it, nor do we know his motive. What if he has a pure intention?” Edric Cadieux suggested.“Or what if his motive ended up being like…” Harvey interrupted while having no intention to say the banned name in case it triggered some unhealed old wounds.“Or his reason for settling here is because of the mining ground and the…” Chase continued. Edric suddenly interrupted. “But, how are we so sure Hion's base is in Green city…”“Hion's products are lurking at every corner of the city more than any other…” Chase and Harvey interrupted Edric, seriously. Agreeing to the sa
“It shouldn't have gotten out, yet!” He said, squinting his eyes at them, which they quickly avoided, not saying anything.'Dang, young brother's temper is worsening these days.'“So scary!” Sean mouthed, faking a tremble.“You better do a good job.” Zenos glared at them coldly and walked out of the office without taking the document.“Dang it, Sean, we're now under pressure!” David glared at him. Sean's facade immediately disappeared, he whistled and stretched happily, like his motive was successfully done. “I work well under pressure!” He grinned.“You're such a trouble-causing bastard.” They all sighed. “We shouldn't have believed in your innocent expression.”...“When are you planning to go back?” Hayden asked Mia who came to his house first thing in the morning, just like usual. Aside from the presidential suite in a luxurious hotel Mia was residing in, currently, Mia had turned Hayden's house into her second home in Grail City, which made Hayden wonder when Mia would stop h
A variety of emotions dominated his mind as a result of his thoughts and memories of the past. 'Are you doing well? Are you fine without me? Do you ever remember me?' Hayden pondered as he continued to stare at his former phone, lost in sadness. He lacks the courage to pick up the phone in case he receives another letdown, which he can't afford at this point.Hayden's hand reached for the camera button he had turned into a fortune necklace he now wore on his neck, and he couldn't help but pull at it, unaware...Mia fixed her gaze on Hayden, who was sitting in the garden, distracted while playing with his catchy necklace. He was lost in his thoughts so much that he didn't hear her approach, unlike other times, and it made her heart ache at the sight of his pitiful expression. The reason Mia decided to stay at Grail State is because of Hayden - even though he never knew. He had helped her back when she was a stranger to him, and she would also do her best to help him.Occasionally,
The strong odor of oil lingered in the air, and there were vivid stains and pools of it on the floor. It was 4:33 p.m. on the outskirts of the city. In a dark and empty room that appears to be part of an old and abandoned warehouse, there were two inconspicuous figures dressed in black clothing from head to toe to conceal their identities. Furthermore, they were using a strange, weird voice too, which was to prevent them from recognizing one another. One of the men was leaning against a wall, while the other was sitting on an old wooden table, yet both of their attention was extremely focused on their surroundings—in case of an attack from the opposite side. The second man who was leaning against the wall scoffed at the first man who was sitting on the chair; interrupting his words, he remarked, “You think you can employ any of them? David would literally beat your ass. And Michael? You won't be able to open your mouth to explain your mission before he…”“It's okay!” The first m
"Michael, it's been 3 years; did you really feel nothing?" Xavier asked no one in particular. He was now alone in his big office, and his intense emotions were raw and revealed on his face. He furrowed his brows as he leaned back on the chair, stroking the smiling picture of the youngster. Xavier sighed as he attempted to put the frame back into its original position. An incoming email notification popped up on his phone just as he returned the frame to its original position. Seeing that the sender of the email was his assistant, Xavier opened and read the email in the inbox; the content says he has a meeting in an hour. Xavier dropped his cell phone and ran a hand through his neatly styled black hair, giving it a somewhat messy look. Subsequently, he decided to return to working on his document. But the minute he opened a document, a message alert pinged and lit up his phone's screen, which interfered with his reading and caused him to lose focus. Originally, Xavier had left his
Simon used a hand to ruffle his hair and extended his other hand to beckon the group to leave without him. Even though he just stood calmly, somehow he seemed to look like a supermodel posing for a picture. "You can leave. I have to stay..."Without giving Simon the chance to complete his words, a cunning smile appeared on Philip's face, and he raised his eyebrows endlessly and mischievously. "Ah. For the new crush," he declared with a dramatic snicker.Immediately, Philip tucked his hands into his pockets and looked up to the sky with his signature ever-knowing sage look.If that person could appear today, then Philip needed to reclaim his ever-knowing sage position.Upon hearing and seeing Philip's expression, Simon's face gradually turned cold, and he glared at Philip coldly. He parted his lips to say a word, but before he could...Philip struck a pose and ran a hand through his hair dramatically. He shrugged and casually expressed, "Well. Keep waiting, but remember not to keep you
Upon hearing a total stranger directing questions at Hayden, Aria's brows knitted and her face contorted in a frown. She tilted her neck and inquired, "Do you know him?"Aria turned to Justin with a frown before turning to Hayden again.Without bothering to give Justin face, she openly chided Hayden fiercely while indirectly poking at Justin."Don't tell me you've gotten a poor taste ever since this lady isn't here to monitor you," she chided while staring at Hayden with an expression that conveyed: Don't tell me it's true.Without casting a glance at Justin, Hayden ruthlessly responded with a helpless sigh, "I don't know him."Justin's expression changed, and it felt as if his heart had been stabbed fiercely upon hearing Hayden's cold rejection.Upon hearing this, Aria dramatically sighed while patting her chest. "Fortunately."Immediately, Aria flashed a smile at Hayden. "Now, let's go!"Immediately, Aria scowled and clutched Hayden's hand tightly. She began to scold him fiercely. "
Justin tucked his hands into his pockets and silently descended the stairs after being informed by a maid that his mom had called for him.In the living room, June, Justin's mother, was currently applying paint to her hand while watching a romance drama series.“Mom,” he called.June raised her head and directed a sweet smile at Justin. She informed him, "Starting from now on, Nougat will attend school with you."Her voice was so calm and sweet—unfortunately, her words held no sweetness for Justin.Upon hearing this, Justin felt as if a thunderbolt had cracked his world, and his mood plunged deep into the abyss.Right now, Justin believed he had just heard the worst news of the week. No—of the century. Attend school? Attend school with that bastard?Justin's eyes widened in horror, and he retorted in a stutter, “Attend? What? Why? How? Why should that bastard attend school with me? Why should he interfere with my daily life?”A surge of dread hit Justin’s soul hard and overwhelmed him
The first thing Hayden always did after taking a bath was to 'visit' the snack room to select the perfect snack for his early morning craving.That bright morning, it was unsurprising to see Hayden sneaking towards his snack room.Upon seeing a guard standing at the front of his precious snacks' door, Hayden's eyes enlarged slightly, but in the next second, he made a turn in pretense of forgetting something important in the bedroom.What a nice way to begin the day, dear CEO Zenos. Hayden sulked and grumbled unhappily.Upon seeing such an interference with his morning craving, how could Hayden not realize that Zenos was hell-bent on making his sugar level go down to normal?Hayden silently scowled, but in the next second, he tried to calm down and tried to accept it.As long as this cruel punishment didn't affect Hayden's incoming Heart's products, Hayden would try to shut one eye and manage himself by sneaking sweets, cookies, or chocolates, etc., when Zenos wasn't watching. Sigh! Li
An hour and a few minutes later, the doctor had already done a check-up for Hayden and disinfected, diagnosed, and dressed Zenos’ wound.The doctor’s back straightened, and he stared at Zenos and Hayden politely before reporting calmly, “Mr. Hayden’s mental health stress has decreased a lot. However, it seemed Mr. Hayden had a lot on his mind lately and tended to think a lot. It’s as if Mr. Hayden was afraid or anxious.” The doctor finalized.Upon hearing the doctor’s sentence, Hayden lowered his head and stared at his palm placed on his knees. Even though he didn’t make a comment, it was easy to notice that the doctor was right with his words.Zenos’ brows furrowed slightly. Except for Hayden’s exceptional clinginess, Hayden had always acted fine. Could it be that the boy had been pretending and was hiding things from him? What could it be?Zenos wrapped his hands around Hayden’s waist and nudged gently. He took hold of the boy’s hands and gently stroked them. “What’s it, baby?” he c
"Zenos, did you touch my schoolbag?" Hayden pursed his lips together and eyed Zenos suspiciously.Zenos raised his head to stare at the boy calmly. Upon making eyes with Zenos' deep eyes, Hayden became flustered, and he quickly dodged away.At that moment, Hayden realized that he was very daring. In fact, who would touch his bag if it wasn't Zenos? It's enough that he brought an illegal thing into the mansion when Zenos even took it away; he even dared to ask Zenos about it. Definitely courting trouble.In fact, the day before is when Hayden is supposed to get his snack from Zenos. However, because Hayden was caught eating a snack, Zenos banned the boy for five days.Despite Hayden's pleas and negotiation, he was only able to coax Zenos into four days. How heartless.Just thinking about how Zenos coldly pronounced that ruthless order, Hayden felt like bursting into tears.His beautiful heart. His exquisite heart. Of course, no snacks can ever taste like it. Yet Zenos cruelly takes it
“Micheal,” Xavier interjected immediately with a call.Upon seeing Hayden's expression turning pale, Zenos engulfed the boy in a hug and gently coaxed him while throwing dagger-like glares at the unfazed and unremorseful Michael.Michael leisurely leaned against Xavier and gave Hayden a cold glare, killing intent flickering past his eyes. "If you dare Zenos again, it is best you go into hiding and never let me find you, or I'll kill you with bare hands.” Micheal threatened, his voice laced with seriousness and danger.Although Xavier should be the one interjecting and cautioning Michael, upon seeing the person acting so domineering, Xavier’s eyes darkened and his desires increased, a thought in his mind: damn, Michael is hot!Upon hearing Michael’s words, Hayden's eyes surged with determination, and he retorted firmly, sincerity laced in his tone. "I won't hurt Zenos.” Hayden will never hurt Zenos in his lifetime or the next. Back then, when Hayden hurt Zenos, it was because he was ch
Suddenly, Jude’s phone rang, interjecting his typing. Jude stood up and strode toward the panoramic window; he tucked his left hand into his pocket and stared at the city. Jude picked up Zenos’ call."For those who embezzled, did you put in a schedule with our lawyer in court?" Zenos’ calm voice and the rapid finger typing on the keyboard drifted from the other end of the phone. "En,” Jude responded calmly, but in the next second, he arched his brows.At first, Zenos planned to take a look at the company’s staff and day-to-day affairs, but he suddenly decided to kick everyone out today. Originally, didn’t Zenos claim it was too early?Also, Mr. Dylan already knows his way around the company more than anyone. He can even be said to know his way around better than the owner. It was as if he was the owner! He might try to use that to cause trouble. Wait! He’s already in the police. Coupled with the pile of evidence that they have against him and his son, they will definitely take a wh
“No way! How could it be…” Upon hearing this, the higher-up expression changed, and they stared at each other in shock. Someone in the company dared to do such a heinous thing?The company’s value kept falling drastically with each second that ticked before Zenos stepped in.Although the Heart product was launched using the company, in fact, Zenos used it to boost the company, and the Heart product completely belongs to Zenos.For the first time in years, their debt was finally decreasing, and they were able to see a profit.Yet someone dared to do something heinous! Certainly, that person deserves a judgment that’s worse than death!Suddenly, one of the higher-ups squinted his eyes in suspicion and pointed at the nerdy guy. When everyone thought the Shert product tasted good, he was quick to find out that it tasted like heart product.If he hasn’t done something so suspicious, there’s no way he’ll find out so quickly.Upon hearing this, all of their expressions changed, and they turn
