Hayden tugged his hair and yawned languidly, a bored expression plastered on his impeccable, handsome face. He was currently in Zenos' shirt and pants; a white duvet covered him. He turned and stretched his body languidly, his eyes drooping.He shut his eyes and raked his hand through his hair drowsily before grabbing the pillow under him firmly. "Time to sleep, Hayden!" He mumbled in a lazy, bored, and sleepy voice.But in the next minute, Hayden grabbed the pillow and threw it away. He flailed his legs and tossed about before sitting up, his whole expression screaming fury. He suddenly slammed his fist on the bed in fury. "Damn it. Is Zenos coming or not? 1 week. 2 week. He's yet to tell me anything. Now he won't call." Thinking about how he had spent the whole week having to call Zenos with Zenos either being busy or Zenos telling him to call back sent a mix of rage coursing through Hayden.The more Hayden thought of what was happening, the more fury he felt, making him unable to
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."
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
