Happy New Month."So tired." Simon yawned leisurely and stretched his flexible body. He casually strode out of the kitchen after taking off his apron, gloves, and face mask.Three maids walked out of the kitchen toward the dining room, carrying the meals that had just been made by Hayden and Simon.“I'm going to the restroom; I will be back,” Simon announced to the boys, his eyes not falling on Prothero. It was as if he didn't notice Prothero's presence.Prothero immediately stood up to follow Simon.Philip leaned back on the chair and eyed Prothero wickedly. He propped up his head and used his long legs to block Prothero's path. "He just mentioned the restroom," Philip enunciated seriously.Why was this person always interfering in Prothero and Simon's matters? Prothero was so consumed by annoyance that he almost shot a cold glare at Philip.However, he restrained himself, knowing that once he did, Simon would kick him out of the mansion immediately for causing trouble. He lowered hi
"Simon," Prothero called behind Simon and tried to grab a hold of the indignant Simon's hand. They had just entered the room. However, Simon still hasn't said a word to Prothero throughout the whole ordeal; how can the clingy Prothero take it?Simon smacked Prothero's hand away and turned toward Prothero, his amber eyes sharp, raging, and cold. "Get lost. I told you to stop following me already." He bellowed and hissed angrily. His aura was so aggressive that Prothero was taken aback for a second.Prothero lowered his head, his expression hidden, and his fists were clenched. "I'm sorry, big brother Simon." He has since apologized with a shaky, pitiful tone."If you're sorry, then get lost and leave my life already! I'm tired of you." Simon shot him a cold glare, stormed into the restroom, and shut the door hard, uncared about Prothero's pitiful state unlike before.Simon sighed and leaned back against the wall. He ran his hand through his hair before taking a look in the mirror.Simon
"He didn't return." Aetos stared at the big garden, his straight back turned to his office.Even though today is the day Prothero's progress will be checked by Aetos, Prothero didn't return.One of Prothero's guards bowed to Aetos and said, "Young master Prothero is still on the search for Hion...""Why did I hear he had been clinging to some young master of Grail State?" Aetos retorted and turned to the guard. His voice was sharp and cold, sending shivers down the guard's spine.The guard's calm expression cracked, and his face paled immediately. He never expected that he'd be caught lying by Don.Soon, he realized how foolish he was. Aetos's eyes had always been on Prothero, despite the two's estranged relationship. How can Aetos not know all of Prothero's movements in the Grail state? "I'm sorry, Don…""Receive your punishment after leaving." Aetos coldly replied.His eyes lowered, and they stared back into the distance, settling on nothing. "What did Prothero see in him?" Aetos su
Months Later "Hey dude." Hayden leisurely pronounced as soon as he picked up Andy's call."Hey bitch. I'm on a vacation. I'll be there two days from now. Expect me!" An excited Andy hollered in excitement. He could finally be away from that Levi scum and the company. This vacation, he'll be totally free! He could even meet Mia, his idol, and get to meet Caleb, Mason, Philip, Simon, and Craig. How cool!"For real?" Hayden sat up immediately, his lips parted in a shocked gasp. "Zenos is also coming over next week. The timing is perfect." Hayden conveyed eagerly.Hayden and the guys are on holiday, and with Zenos and Andy's presence, Hayden feels that things will be more fun and perfect.Hayden knew Andy planned to visit Grail State, but he never expected it to be possible considering how Levi was always on Andy's neck. "Your big bro?""I'm unstoppable." Andy bragged in a singsong voice, causing Hayden to secretly snort. That's how Andy always brags in the beginning. It only takes a sen
"Did she believe that no one could hit her because she's a woman? I swear I'll beat sense into her brain. If she thinks she could use the media power to frighten us, then in her dream!" Mia seethed angrily.Hayden and the boys stared at Mia with mixed feelings. A thought came to their minds: never trigger a calm woman because she can be deadly."Calm down. She's not worth your emotions." Hayden softly consoled and patted Mia's shoulder to make her calm down.Upon seeing Hayden personally comfort her, Mia felt her anger disperse. She reluctantly nodded her head and sat next to Hayden, but still, one couldn't fail to see her vivid anger."She's trying to use the media to stop Mason from doing a DNA and a pregnancy test, which means she's guilty." Caleb calmly deduced, and his gaze fell on Mason immediately. "What are you going to do now?"Mason sneered and leaned back on the sofa leisurely. "I've never been the one to be terrified of the media or whatever." He conveyed with a wicked smi
"Stop twisting facts. We never mentioned abortion. It's a proper pregnancy test with DNA. A father doesn't even have the right to request a pregnancy test?" Mia retorted with a scoff, still in her covers.Suddenly, the reporters gasped in shock, and their attention shifted from Mason to Mia immediately.'Did I just hear Idol Mia's voice?''Idol Mia had taken a break from music and social media, except to shoot advertisements once in a while. Even her fans from all over the world are on her social media pages daily, crying and begging her to release songs or pictures.''It can't be that she has always been in Grail, can it?'All the issues with Mason were forgotten immediately, and all the reporters' focal points became Mia. They had a feeling. No. They knew she was Mia.Mia sighed, knowing she would never get out of it unless she removed her covers. She knew that's how everything would play once the reporters noticed her presence.Mia had been out of the media for a long time, and not
The door was pulled from inside to reveal the calm-looking doctor.The reporters quickly moved forward eagerly to capture the announcement of the result. No one wanted to miss such things.The doctor bowed slightly to everyone. "The Miss is currently four months pregnant, and the DNA of the child isn't similar to Young Master Mason's. In simpler notes, the child in the Miss's belly isn't young Master Mason's child." The doctor revealed, causing everyone to gasp in shock.Mia smirked nonchalantly. It was just as her bodyguard reported a few hours ago!Mason shrugged and turned away with blaséness.However, deep in his heart, he couldn't help feeling a pang. He liked her compared to other girls he had played with in the past, and he somehow anticipated the arrival of the cute little thing.He overlapped the sadness with a feigned calm smile and took hold of Mia's hand. "Mia, let's leave." He conveyed.Mia nodded her head. Feeling Mason's sadness, her lips parted to say something, but be
Ring.The sudden custom ring of his mansion door attracted Andy's attention. Andy frowned. He wasn't expecting anyone, so who can it be?Upon knowing that he would be going on a vacation, he ordered the staff to take a vacation, which meant he'd have to get the person at the door himself.Andy stopped arranging his selected outfit into his suitcase. He stood up and turned to leave his room, but before he could take a step, Levi calmly stepped into his room.Upon seeing the intruder, Andy froze, and his face turned harsh. "What are you doing in my mansion?" He scowled in anger.Moreover, how did this bastard get into his apartment? Who gave Levi the code to his lock, but he soon glared at the person.Levi had always been a multitalented devil spawn; he could hack, pick locks, etc. Such an all-rounder devil spawn, he's definitely not a good thing, no matter how Andy saw it. An example of this is Levi intruding into his house without his permission.Levi closed the door to Andy's room. H
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
