“What did you do to him?” Jude asked Zenos again. Addressing Sean with 'him' because he doesn't want anyone to catch their names as the walls have ears. Zenos leaned back and swirls the wine cup in his hand calmly. “Giving him a taste of what he wants!” He replied.“Wicked!” David muttered, downing his drink.“Master!” Xena's greeting interrupted the three.“Him?” Jude asked Xena, already knowing how much Xena liked Sean, which Sean wasn't interested in; which was the reason Zenos gave her the mission for Xena to see if Sean's opinion had changed during her absence. Sean counted Xena as a younger sister, while Xena wished he did take her as a woman. Some years ago, Xena, whose original name was Charmaine, was a shy girl. One day, Charmaine braced herself and confessed her feelings for Sean, but he immediately blew her bubbles by rejecting her and telling her she was just a younger sister to him, and that she should move on because there was nothing possible between them. Charmain
“Now, explain what you meant?” Rory immediately cleaned her tears. Her face softened as she began to explain her views. “Don't Master find it weird that Xena was active tonight? Master has several times in the past called Xena for acting stiff, but tonight she's happily seducing one of the masked men which meant they could be more familiar. Actually, CEO Zed is our top focus tonight, as Xena is the most beautiful lady, her priority should be the anonymous CEO Zed; why would she be seducing CEO Zed's friend instead of CEO Zed himself? Besides, doesn't Master find it odd that CEO Zed only called for Xena among the girls? If that Master was interested in Xena he should have accepted her seduction on the spot but after the proposal, CEO Zed wanted Xena which seems fishy to me. And it was after 30 minutes that Xena came out of the room, which is more than enough time to speak with that Master. And after her discussion, she even approached CEO Zed instead of Master, which is weirder. Nobod
Zenos's friends were caught in surprise when Zenos told them he was going back home that night. “Didn't Zenos always stay at least a week in every city we went to?” Sean asked as they made their way to the airport to drop Zenos off at the airport. Everyone was stumped and beginning to get afraid at the amount of love Zenos was giving his lover. They really hoped that person wouldn't try sh** with Zenos or else… Despite all protests, Zenos flew back home, even though he normally used at least a week to finish the business in the city. This time Zenos directly dumped all the work on his friends who wanted to stay in the city to have fun originally. Sean directly glared at Zenos as he left.“This little bro falling in love is getting scarier!” Sean complained in a grievance. “Why wouldn't the goddess of love send my fated to me already, so I can ditch him already?” Sean 'bawled'.“Maybe the goddess already did, and you just don't want to acknowledge…” Jude cut in, talking about Xena
Hayden immediately tried to take back his hand, but Zenos clutched it tightly and began to trace and write nonsensical words on the sensitive part, making Hayden glare at him. “Whayudoin?” He said with gritted teeth. Zenos raised his chin and motioned Hayden to answer Rose."S. Sure!” He said and tried to stand up, but Zenos' hand wouldn't let go. 'This ancestor!' he cast a helpless smile at Andy, who's been forced to sit at another place all thanks to Zenos. “Just this one time?” Hayden gritted and whispered. Zenos arched his eyebrows but didn't reply nor did he let go. Hayden wanted to cry a river at Zenos's shamelessness. This person! “I'll listen to you later!” He said, and his hand was let go immediately. Hayden glared in annoyance and immediately followed Rose. Hayden was caught off guard when Rose suddenly hugged him. “I was scared, I thought I lost you.” She began to sob and release all her pent-up emotions quietly.Hayden doesn't know what is wrong with him; obviously,
“You know that's not what I'm asking!” Hayden hissed in frustration due to Zenos's actions of purposely avoiding his questions. He stood up and looked at Zenos's face with frustration and annoyance. “Why do you come here? What do you want with me? We both know I'm straight, can't you just let me be.” Zenos's eyes lowered as he watched the person in front of him talk. He was captivated by every one of Hayden's actions. It was only curiosity at first, but now he finds himself wanting more from Hayden! He knew that had always been straight! He should have forgotten about Hayden already and let him be, but no, he can't. Not only that, but he finds himself looking for the person, checking his images repeatedly, his eyes unconsciously following the person; he didn't even know why he wanted to be near Hayden every time. For someone like him with an already dead heart, he never thought he could be attached to someone he just met. The red lips seemed to be begging Zenos to take action just
In the school restaurant, Andy was already seated alone, waiting for Hayden. Their group of friends, which includes the jocks, footballers, athletes, etc., beckoned him to come and sit with them, but he immediately retreated because it's likely Zenos would come over, and he doesn't want gunpowder spreading. Yes, that's how much Zenos is wicked in Andy's mind. Andy waved immediately after he saw Hayden, but once he saw Zenos behind Hayden, he snorted and turned to the other side. And when he saw Rose, his jaw dropped and his eyes widened in horror. What the hell is Hayden thinking, letting Zenos and Rose walk beside him? He looked at Hayden, who looked helpless himself. “Eh, Prince Hayden.” A handsome teenager swaggered and waved at Hayden with a fake smile. Two handsome teenagers followed behind him, one of them looking like the typical teenage bad boy while the other looking like the innocent scholar type of man, he was holding a book that further confirmed his type of person. Ga
Hayden was already dressed up by the time Zenos would pick him up. He was dressed in a white sweater with a hood and dark blue trousers. His hair was brushed to the back. Hayden didn't really dress up for Zenos, he told himself.He paced about in his room thinking if Zenos had forgotten about him and their date but when it was exactly 5:45, he heard the smooth sound of Zenos' car which made him hurry outside. Andy immediately sighed in relief. He was about to get dizzy from Hayden's pacing. Zenos came down from the car when he saw Hayden approaching. Hayden felt that Zenos really has the appearance, figure, and name that makes every man jealous. Zenos was dressed in a black suit that attracted Hayden's attention again. He wasn't putting a mask on this time.“Beautifully dressed for me,” Zenos commented with a smirk. Hayden immediately puffed up. “I certainly didn't dress up for you, it's for Rose!” He yelled back to mask up his lies. Zenos nodded and stopped his teasing, which cau
Hayden's uneasiness was soon washed away by Zenos's gentlemanly actions. It's an understatement to say that Hayden enjoyed himself because Zenos really cared for him throughout their date. Zenos even booked a popular cinema for their privacy and even selected one of the latest movies Hayden has been eager to watch.“You can leave, I'll find my way back to Rose,” Hayden said to Zenos, he was reluctant to end the date but because he has scheduled an appointment with Rose he has to stop his clinginess. Hayden bowed his head to his phone, pretending to do something important so that he wouldn't waver in his decisions when he looked at Zenos. “I'll drive you there,” Zenos suggested, and Hayden nodded without hesitating. Hayden was about to text a location to Rose when he saw the notification of a text sent by Rose. 'Hayden, I'm sorry, but my manager won't let me go!' she sent. Hayden immediately frowned, but he swiftly called her. 'Are you okay?' Hayden could hear a noise that made h
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
Zenos familiarly strode toward the cart section, and grabbed a cart with his right hand, and Hayden’s hands with his left.As soon as the duo left Chips n Chops, Hayden happily suggested that they should go to the city's famous supermarket to get the sketch paper, and once they are done with that, they can continue strolling and find other places to visit!Upon seeing Zenos act so familiarly as if he had been used to this all his life, Hayden’s eyes widened in shock. Hayden has always taken Zenos as someone lofty, high, and mighty who is used to extraordinary actions and not ordinary actions other humans do day-to-day.Hayden’s hand held Zenos’ hand tighter, and his eyes fixed on Zenos’ tall and straight figure. "How can you do this like... like you were familiar with this?" He inquired, his voice filled with shock. Zenos’ lips curved up in amusement. What is this little rascal thinking again? "Familiar." He calmly proclaimed in acquiesence Hearing Zenos’ confirmation made Hayden’
"That moment when you told me you don’t want to have anything to do with me, even though we just met, I became a wreck,” Zenos confessed sincerely, replaying that moment when he stepped into Hayden’s room with snacks only for Hayden to lash out at him.At that time, Zenos believed that he’d never have anything to do with the boy. Who knew that they’d end up becoming so close that they wouldn’t be able to do without each other?The city was cold, and beautiful lights pervaded the city, the cool breeze caressing them softly. Even though the night was cold, somehow being next to each other while holding each other's hands, Hayden and Zenos felt inexplicably warm. The duo couldn’t help thinking inwardly that they needed to be doing more of this from now on reminiscing.Upon recalling that moment, Hayden’s expression changed, and a surge of regret overwhelmed him. Back then, Hayden lashed out at Zenos, thinking that Zenos would coax and explain to him, but he hadn’t expected that in a
"Oh, not again.” Hayden took a step back and exhaled; he puffed out his cheeks and huffed. He made a mistake again! How could he make a mistake for the umpteenth time now? Huff! So infuriating! Hayden’s eyes landed on the drawing, which was now splashed with a different color! Sigh! He gently removed the drawing from the board. Even though he had the idea, he kept making lots of mistakes due to his absentmindedness. Furthermore, he also had a bout of anxiety overwhelming him today. This was all due to the upcoming design exam. In the past, before Hayden set his eyes on Zenos, Hayden had always believed that he wouldn’t venture into design, but ever since he met Zenos, Hayden was inspired to pursue his design career. Hayden believed that in the future, he and Zenos would surely lead the business company to the top. The thought made Hayden’s expression soften and made his bout of anxiety diffuse slightly. Immediately, Hayden felt inspired and a lot of calm; he took a step bac
Hayden leisurely lay on his stomach while flailing his legs, his hand holding his phone tight and his fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly early that morning, leisurely chatting with those rascals in the mansion. It was vivid that Hayden was in a good mood after all; a certain person didn’t wake up with an aching body that morning!Just thinking about it feels great and makes his mood extremely surreal; even his face seems to have a permanent smile on it. Suddenly, the bedroom door was opened, and a darkened face, Zenos, strode into the room at a long and fast pace. Feeling the fierce aura exuding from Zenos, Hayden’s eyes flew wide open, and he turned to Zenos in bewilderment, "What are you… Mmmhhh." Hayden had yet to complete his statement when he was pressed down and kissed ferociously by the dark-faced Zenos. Soon, Hayden was flipped over by Zenos, and his hands were pinned above him. Hayden’s brain rang, and he became alarmed... What. What was happening? How can Zenos pres
Zenos pushed the door and strode into the room calmly. His lips curved up, and he shut the door behind them. The boy had been so sure of trapping Zenos with his plans so much that the boy didn’t bother to shut the door tonight. Only if the boy knew how much Zenos took precautions! Zenos gently sat next to the boy; his soft eyes landed on Hayden's adorable and pure sleeping face. Hayden sleeping like this made him appear so free, pure, and untainted by the world's darkness. It made Zenos want to protect the boy from any harm.Zenos' lips curved up upon recalling the boy’s naughty antics from earlier. His hand fell on the boy’s hair, and he softly brushed Hayden’s hair with his hand. Zenos’s lips curved upward, and a light chuckle spilled past his lips, "How'd you get the mind to torture me, babe?" The boy should have known that riling Zenos’ desire would make Hayden wake up with increasing pain. However, the boy has always been naughty; who knows if the boy enjoys the… Suddenly, H
