Philips immediately snorted. “You're such a…” Happy birthday to you!Happy birthday to you!I wish you the loveliest in the upcoming years.I love you, my best man. Mia, dressed in a strapless mini gown, suddenly appeared before Hayden; her long, soft hair fell to her back. She continues to sing in her soft and lovely voice while smiling deeply, which revealed the dimples on her cheeks. She was holding a cake on which 10 candles were lit. “Quickly make a wish and blow it off,” Mia said, which made Hayden smile at her, appreciatively.“Thank you,” Hayden said, clasping his hands together. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes and blew off the lit candle.“What did you wish for?” Mia questioned with interest.“It's a secret,” Hayden replied and immediately took a bite of the fluffy cake; turns out it's of different flavors, combined and made to look like one. His eyes widened in interest, and he subconsciously let out a pleasurable moan as the delicacy filled his mouth. “Thumbs up,
“WHAT THE HELL!” They all mouthed and stopped right on their trail after hearing what the manager had just said. Their excitement immediately went down due to the news they had just heard. “Young Masters and Miss,” The manager called with skin that was full of sweat as many eyes stared a hole through him as if he were the one who bought all the latest LOWSE collection. “I sincerely didn't know young Masters would be interested in the collections, or else we would have kept some away from the stock. We didn't plan it, but in less than 2 hours, LOWSE collections have been bought by the customers, which left us shocked because we hadn't advertised it in any way.” The manager's explanation continued to resound in their ears as they left the shopping mall. They had furious and sad looks on their faces as if one of their favorite things had just been snatched.PFFT! The news subconsciously made Hayden laugh out loud in delight. He knew it! He just knew it would happen that way. It has al
Hayden froze and stared at the outline of what he had just drawn: Zenos. He never intended to draw him, and even though he tried to avoid it, he still did it. With a solemn frown on his face, he decided to use that painting outline to draw someone else.“A painter mustn't be fickle while drawing,” A man appeared and said behind Hayden. Hayden didn't even know when the man entered the room. “Finish the painting and stop being fickle.” The man instructed. Hayden nodded and turned to look at the man; the man looked like the nerdy type of man, and he had an apron with a few paint stains on it. Hayden knew the man; he was a top figure that dominates the art world, and that made him excited. —“If you've added black right here…” The man said while touching a part of Hayden's drawing. “It could have given it that nice highlight…” The man continued to explain to him, and Hayden continued to digest the artist's words with excitement.“Overall, you're good at what you're doing. And your paint
Hayden raised his head and glared at Mason; he had begun to lose his temper, Mason knew, but he wasn't satisfied, neither of them were. Perhaps pushing his button would let him speak, they thought. They wanted him to explain his feelings to them instead of holding them in and bottling them to himself and lying to them. A relationship filled with lies can't survive. “He's alive.” Hayden closed his eyes as he tried to suppress his raging emotions. He felt annoyed due to the way Mason was trying to provoke him, but that's how their relationship had grown—they were always hot and cold with each other, yet they had a strangely close friendship different from the one he and Andy have. He still doesn't know why Mason was doing it because Mason was never the inquisitive or nosy type, yet Mason was the one getting on his nerves with this question. “Your friend?” “Shut up!” Hayden bellowed and angrily threw a fist at Mason, but when it was about 0.1 mm to collide with the boy's cheeks, it st
Picnic at the beach!“Damn it, Mason,” Hayden cursed, his shirt opened as he dipped his feet into the warm beach sand. He smiled as he bent down to pick up a seashell.“I miss my tanned skin. You're to blame, you jerk.” Hayden complained, pointing at him. “Do you know how I've carefully made, preserved, and raised my baby?” Hayden said that while sitting on a rocking chair, his shirt had been taken off, leaving his upper body naked.“It's a fake… Adopted baby.” Mason replied, sitting next to him. “I had given you back the real, lost baby, yet you're not appreciative. What would you do if I told you that you can't change it back to a tan one anymore?” Mason revealed with a smug expression, which made Hayden unconsciously sit straight.“Damn, that's a lie!” Hayden gasped and pointed at Mason; he had a horrified expression on, and he was trying to convince himself that Mason was joking. Mason rubbed his nape, which made Hayden's eyes narrow. “I checked the leftover given to me, and I sa
'Damn! It seems that she's still the cruel witch she was. Looks like I made a bad choice!' The man thought with lingering fear.“I…”“If you don't keep that lousy mouth of yours shut, I promise I will do it for you.” Mia heaved heavily and paced about, clenching her fist while trying hard to bury her fury, but it was simply not working. After she had tried to stay quiet and pretend that nothing happened, they still dared to send a paparazzo over. What do they think she was? A pushover? Had they forgotten who the hell they were dealing with?“My friends said you were a paparazzi…” She laughed out loud at her words, maniacally. Of course, he wasn't, and she knew that since the first time she set eyes on him. Besides, she had seen him the minute he started following her; she just let him float in his self-made bubbles and wanted to capture him in the end, but since Mason had caught him for her, she decided to do it that minute. The man had a tall, masculine body type with a strong bu
“Wi… Williams.” He says, looking away from her eyes because he knew how angry she would be, and it was exactly that. Mia's face was extremely furious, but she sat back on the chair. It seems Williams can't wait anymore, so he tried to do a despicable thing. What is he planning? Threatening her with her identity, or threatening her with Hayden and her pictures?“Is he here?” Mia questioned the man while playing with her knife. Her face was now calm, and all her emotions were hidden.“No. Only me!” The man said, shaking his head in a hurry as if he was afraid she wouldn't believe him.“What did you plan to do? Tell me every single thing.” The man opened his lips to let out a word of protest. “You know it. It takes nothing but seconds to know every single thing I want to know. Play the good fellow now or die by my hand…”____“You're so slow, I bet a tortoise can crawl faster than you…”“You dead a*s, Simon. If you don't stop that sh*t of your rambling, I might kick your a** into an o
Hayden came out of his shock and replied to them.“You haven't learned about not bullying a girl.”“Hayden is the best.” Mia sent him a happy smile and a thumbs up. Hayden sat on the sofa. He leaned forward with a serious and concentrated expression on his face. “Hey y'all, let's talk about it now…” Hayden called for their attention, and they all turned to look at him. “Guys, what do you think about not going to the club…” Mason snorted and interrupted before Hayden could complete his sentence. “Haven't you learned the lesson of following orders?” Hayden glared at Mason. Talking about this jerk who's always the one to refute his words. Hayden scratched his head, knowing they don't seem to want to bend their so-called 'orders'.“Hm. But… We are minors.” He blurted out. Upon realizing his words, he almost beat himself up! What stupid lies and sh*tty excuses! Minors? Minors? Damn Hayden, you can do better! He thought and scowled at himself. They all turned to look at him contemptuou
“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
“Hayden.” Zenos calmly articulated, while leaning against the car, his arms folded, accentuating his toned muscles and the sun landing on his frame, making everything pale in sight.Once the boy’s green eyes shifted toward Zenos’s car, Zenos raised his right hand and waved at the boy twice before retracting his hand.At the sight of the impeccably handsome Zenos, the students’ attention was grabbed, and their eyes landed on Zenos.Several girls begin to blush shyly while sneaking glances at Zenos as if doing so will grab Zenos’ attention and make him notice them; others begin to whisper to themselves in amazement, completely lovestruck.Upon hearing Zenos’s voice, Hayden’s eyes widened in shock. Zenos is here?Without hesitating, Hayden deserted his group of friends and ran toward Zenos. He only paused when he arrived in Zenos’s presence. Hayden carefully chewed the cookies in his mouth before speaking in happiness, “Zenos, you are here to pick me up?” Immediately, he completed his w
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
