“Boohoo. You're so cruel to me. Really cruel to me.” Hayden complained pitifully, but still couldn't help drinking it all under Zenos' fierce gaze.“I'll be back,” Zenos said and stood up after Hayden had finished the drug in his presence. Hayden immediately scoffed at him in reply. He was still holding a grudge against Zenos because he forced him to take so many drugs without sweets to accompany them. Now the bitterness of the drugs was spreading in his mouth. “Whatever.” Hayden snorted and began to play with his phone. After a few minutes, Hayden found playing with his phone boring, so he began to roll around impatiently. Hayden's thought flashed past to his and Zenos's first and second nights, and the difference was clear. Hayden suddenly remembered the blue robe Zenos had promised to give him once they became a couple. “Zenos, where's my blue robe?” Hayden demanded. Zenos walked toward him with a glass of milk in his hand. “It's in the closet,” Zenos said and handed the glass
“Dad, is there anything wrong? Your voice sounded different.” Although Ethan's voice showed his excitement, Hayden could notice the trace of tiredness in his father's voice, which made him begin to worry. Ethan pursed his lips upon hearing Hayden's words. Even though he tried to hide the trace of distress in his voice, Hayden was still able to notice it. “It's nothing,” Ethan replied to him with a light smile. Hayden couldn't help thinking that something was wrong with the company and that his father was trying to hide it in order not to make him worry. “Dad, stop hiding from me. I'm not a young boy anymore.” Hayden said in a mischievous, cute, young voice, which made his parents laugh slightly. “Go on.” Zenni mouthed to Ethan, which made him nod. Ethan sighed and decided to tell Hayden as he wanted. After all, Hayden isn't a young boy, as he claimed. Moreover, Hayden would be the owner of the company soon and the next patriarch of the family, so the best thing is to start in
“Who's at the door?” Zenos strode over. He was in black pants that accentuated his long legs and an open robe that gave people the chance to peek at the toned 8 packs. Zenos heard Hayden's little argument, which made him walk over. Hayden and Xena immediately stood away from each other when they heard Zenos approaching. It was as if they weren't the arguing duo a few seconds ago. “Big brother Zenos, I have the documents ready,” Xena said calmly as Zenos walked over with his chest bare. Hayden frowned in displeasure upon seeing Zenos' naked chest. He swept his eyes over Xena's face, only to see that she didn't look at Zenos the way a woman would look at a man. Still, Hayden wasn't the one to believe something was true or not because of a one-time sign. Hayden immediately collected the document from Xena and handed it to Zenos. “Go inside, quickly,” Hayden said and pushed Zenos back. He quickly closed the door, so Xena wouldn't be able to take a peek at Zenos' amazing body. After al
“We don't know who that person is, but we all need to be alert.” “Maybe we haven't eliminated the incident from that year completely.” Harvey Schaeffer said, which made everyone's expression change. Everything fell silent until Ethan said with a solemn voice, “It could be. The safety of ours and the generation should be extra tight from now on.” Ethan muttered, which made everyone agree in the affirmative because they didn't know what that person planned to do or when he'd be carrying out his plans.“Ethan. I'm glad that you're back.” Zeke Édouard said with a smile, which made Ethan scoff in annoyance before cutting off the call. Zeke Édouard's expression changes to a sad one: “His little boy took his character. Back then…” Zeke Édouard suddenly sighed upon remembering the past. “It still hurts to think that Hayden is dead.”____“I'll like you to bathe me.” Hayden hugged Zenos from behind while his hand fondled the man's sturdy abs. He smiled to himself and suddenly huffed in fake
“Wait, where are you going?” Zenos turned toward Hayden and said, “Take off my clothes.” Zenos replied to Hayden, which made Hayden narrow his eyes in confusion. Zenos' trail of thoughts couldn't be understood by the poor Hayden, no matter how hard he tried to decipher it. Hayden rested his elbow, placed his chin on his elbow, and began to grin wildly, saying, “Don't tell me you're shy to take off your clothes in front of this master? What's there to hide? I have seen and touched everything.” He spewed out with a mocking smile, enjoying how Zenos' eyes continued to darken. Zenos returned to Hayden's side and began to take off his clothes, and in a swift motion, Zenos was undressed. Hayden gulped in shock when he came across that insatiable younger brother of Zenos standing so proud. Hayden shivered fearfully while beginning to think that he was shooting himself in the foot by telling Zenos to bathe him and to take off his clothes. Chills ran through Hayden's spine which made hi
Hayden is very mischievous, and Zenos knew; he could have stood by his words, bathed the boy, and dressed him up normally, but Hayden had to just go with that intent to make Zenos pay. Of course, Zenos already knows what went through Hayden's mischievous mind.“You should have told me you wanted it that much instead of being seductive. I guess you want a bathroom one since we haven't done that before.” Hayden was sensitive to Zenos's touch, so his eyes were quick to pool with tears; his eyes were reddened, and he bit his lower lips stubbornly in order to not cry, much to Zenos's dismay.“What are you say… Ahhh! Zenos you tricked me? Wuu. Zen. Wait. Ahh.” “How?” Zenos suddenly stopped his actions and tucked a strand of stray hair behind Hayden's ears. Hayden heaved silently to catch his breath. He parted his lips to explain how scheming Zenos was, but before he could say anything, Zenos began his fierce actions, which made Hayden hold the man's shoulder while sobbing hard and cry
The thing that held Zenos and Hayden together was something greater than love, something science couldn't explain and that Zenos knew. And it was still baffling how he and Hayden had quickly moved up to this status in a few days. This natural closeness Zenos and Hayden had is something that would take months or years for other people, but Zenos and Hayden felt like two halves that became one. And that poses no problem for the two to become themselves whenever they're with each other.Seeing the boy's chest, which was filled with his marks, rise, and fall silently, Zenos picked up his phone and sent a message to Michael. 'Bring it back.' Zenos texted. Yes, Zenos was scheming and paranoid. He knew he couldn't let Hayden go, so there was always a second plan.Hayden can only be his, and he'd do anything to get everything about the boy.“Send me more,” Zenos said to Sean, who immediately picked up the call. Sean needed no details; he already knew what Zenos was asking about, and it ma
Before Jude could complete his words, a little girl suddenly ran toward them and pulled Jude's leg."Handsome brother, can you help find my mom?" The little girl of eight asked while batting her eyes at them both sweetly and helplessly. Jude and David, who don't know how to relate to children, looked at each other stiffly with a lost expression. "That…" As if the girl knew they were going to reject her, her lips began to quiver, and her beautiful eyes turned red and teary. "Please, handsome brothers." The little girl pleaded helplessly. The little girl was curious and playful when her mom went shopping, so she ignored the rule that she should sit until her mom was back. And when she'd returned, she received the information that her mother had left to look for her. Afraid that she wouldn't see her mother anymore, she couldn't help but look around, which made her walk further until she was lost, yet she couldn't find her mom, so she had no choice but to implore the help of str
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
