Hayden stared at his father curiously; he obviously caught his father's words, and Ethan not completing the word caught Hayden off guard that he couldn't help asking for more information. “His? His what?” Hayden questioned Ethan. Ethan sighed tiredly, and his hand made its way to his forehead to massage. “Nothing.” He replied. “I mean, the guards caught them.” Ethan clarified calmly. Hayden nodded at his father's clarification. Knowing his father has always been busy and tired, he would rather not add his own to it by being probing. Ethan knows how curious and deep Hayden is, and he doesn't want Hayden to try to get to the bottom of the matter, so he immediately switches the subject, so he can get his boy's mind off it, unknowing that Hayden doesn't pay mind to it in the first place. “Due to technology and numerous factors, many families have been going bankrupt and wrecking down! But some of the major factors which are included are because of Hion; because of the Hion company, ma
Hayden also went over to Zenos' mansion for the last time, but…'I'm sorry, I don't know who you're talking about. I'm the owner here.' That was what a pretty lady he never saw before told him, and that made Hayden's heart hurt. He'd be willing to buy the house from Zenos even at a higher price, but Zenos sold it to a stranger, probably because Zenos doesn't want to have anything related to him (H) in his (Z) memories.'Zenos, you said everything happens for a reason, why won't you forgive me?' He asked himself after the usual robotic tone says; 'the number you dialed is unreachable.'“Young Master, Master is currently asking for your appearance.” One of the maids said after tapping Hayden's room door twice.“Tell father, I'll be down there,” Hayden replied. Hayden's eyes took in everything in the room. Somehow that minute, he was able to smell Zenos' scent, and with that, his steady decision wavered. Hayden immediately hurried toward his closet, he quickly took out Zenos' pair of
“I know this isn't your real identity. When?” Andy didn't conclude his sentence, but he figured out that Hayden would understand. Andy never had a close enough person who didn't befriend him because of his identity, except Hayden, so he didn't want to lose the beautiful friendship he had built with Hayden. He really trusted Hayden, and he hoped Hayden did so, enough for him to reveal the truth about him to him (A).“I think of you as a brother, but when next we meet, I'll tell you everything,” Hayden said with a sincere expression which caused Andy to grin happily with a hint of slyness. Suddenly, Hayden thought of something. With Andy knowing where he's leaving, Hayden doesn't doubt that Andy would run after him, saying it was a coincidence, so Hayden can tell him the truth. Hayden immediately scoffed at the grinning Andy. “Don't even think about doing so in less than 3 months will get me to reveal everything to you.” Andy immediately rolled his eyes after Hayden said the senten
Besides, he's still young, how can he have such a dark heart?“Am I stupid?” Hayden questioned. “Someone wanted to endanger you? Why would I be so stupid to involve myself in the first place? Not interested. I don't want to die.” Hayden shook his head and his walking pace increased.“Are you so spineless?” Mia yelled from behind him. Now jogging to catch his pace.“Yeah, I am,” Hayden admitted.Looking at this person's strong and attractive athletic body, even if she was thrown into a river, Mia wouldn't believe that this person is spineless. Mia inhaled and exhaled to control and calm herself, her voice was trembling, and she was now looking tearful. “Can you please help me?” She brazenly reached out for Hayden's sleeve and tugged it, while having no intention to let go, which made him pause. She bit her lower lips and her eyes darted in fear. “My parents, my family, and my fans, they all. Please, I beg you…” She doesn't want to go. She's afraid of what's bound to come once they
Hayden was beginning to look at Mia in a new light; Mia seemed bubbly, but Hayden suspected that that was not what she was about; she was probably on a facade to hide her feelings. “Are you good now?” Hayden asked after leaving the airport. His hands were tucked in his trouser's pockets. With his beautiful and elegant figure, Hayden subconsciously let out ethereal attractiveness that caught people's attention and made women blush.“Thank you.” Mia appreciated him and then turned back to looking around, seeming to look for something.“Your car?” Hayden asked. Mia shook her head. Her phone battery was dead earlier, which made her unable to contact anyone to pick her up. Besides, staying in the airport too long could earn her fan's attention; Mia told Hayden that it was over, but she was only guessing. “I'll be taking a taxi, probably.”“Is that safe?” Hayden arched an eyebrow. He knew for an idol like her, taking a taxi can result in different things.“No.” She shook her head, knowing
“Calling you boss every minute is disgusting, just like you and your character, you damn murderer.” She said in a calm voice, but her voice was filled with loathing, her face was twisted with anger and disgust, and she pretended to be a deranged person.CEO Eric squinted his eyes with hate. His voice was slathered with venom, and he glared at her. “You're really a betraying bitch, like Rory warned, but it's not over yet. I'll survive. My legacy is still on.” CEO Eric declared, even though he knew that Xena had destroyed his company and had revealed everything he did to the public. The people who are following him have now turned their back on him as well, so it's more like toothless barking. Xena nodded with a pitiful pout, “Yeah, it is. I can wait no, I'll wait but…” She eyed him with a pitiful mockery. “You probably won't last up until then. Since my brother's words were, take care of him well for me.” She said with a beautiful smile that repeatedly got on CEO Eric's nerves. CEO
Similarly to how he was doing since the beginning of his vacation in country X, Philip sneaked out to go to a club; throwing off his bodyguards along the way so no one could monitor him and reveal his doings to his father. Purposely messy chestnut brown hair, bright brown eyes, thin red lips, a straight well-proportioned long nose, and a perfect set of white teeth. Philips has an attention-grabbing mole on his chin. He was dressed in a white short-sleeved tee shirt with black cargo pants. One word; he's hot! It was bustling at the club – blasting music, dancing crowd, seductive half-naked beauties, with some flaunting their bodies and dancing on a pole – yet Philip was all alone staring at his drink and the dancing crowd disinterestedly.Occasionally, some ladies walked down from the pole over to him, having the intention to seduce him, but he wasn't budging away from his drink. Philip took another glass and poured it down his throat. It was when he was lowering the glass, a lady
At least, she'll still get her revenge! Philip now, Kaz later! So, that's it! Philip finally understood why Kaz would be whispering sweet nothing to him while pushing him away whenever he wanted to touch. It's not that something is wrong with her – like she's traumatized. It's the stupid girl who has been playing her games right from the beginning, and he was the fool who was falling into her love trap without hesitancy. Kaz could have deterred him by telling him she had a boyfriend in the beginning, but she lied to him saying she was single when in fact she was in a relationship with a gangster. Philip knew Country X is known for being shameless when it comes to fighting! And ganging up on another just to win a fight is worth nothing to them. They believed that if you have the ability, then you can find your own gang. Seeing how they were over seventy men surrounding him from all sides. Two words: it's over! 'Some men are shameless.' a lady suddenly harrumphed in support of
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he made an attempt to stretch his body, but in the next second, tears slipped past his eyes, and he stared at the ceiling. Why does his hand ache so much? Ah! What's wrong with his body again? It’s really too much! Hayden slowly but achingly walked towards his phone. However, by the time Hayden checked his phone, he was completely shocked… Hayden could remember that he left his phone charging last night, but how come his phone is completely turned off right now? Not only was the charging socket off but his phone's battery was completely shut down. His phone battery isn't the type to drain for no reason! A wicked grin immediately crept onto Hayden's lips. Something is extremely fishy. Now, he doesn't believe that Zenos is truly innocent. Tonight, he'll change his plan. Let's see if Zenos will be able to hide again! Hayden smirked evilly, the plan on how to catch Zenos pervading his mind. He should have expected that his plan was childish in the b
Hayden drowsily stretched his arms and yawned leisurely. His hand flew towards his eyes, and he leisurely rubbed his eyes.His eyes flew wide open, and he evaluated himself. It seems falling asleep is the best health treatment. His arms and body feel so much better after sleeping.Hayden's finger landed on his lips, and he slowly stroked them. It's just that his lips don't seem to go with the flow and still remain the same from when he woke up in the morning.However, everything feels so great. Suddenly, Hayden paused, and his eyes shone with an enigmatic glint.The ointment seems to work despite Zeno teasing his chest.Hayden immediately became energetic, and he sat up while stretching actively. He could probably do some painting, or he could just tease Zenos too…Definitely teasing Zenos.Even though Zenos' expression shows innocence, Hayden doesn't fall for it, and he believes that his situation can only be none other than Zenos' handiwork. After all, who could step into the room i
Hayden's eyes flew wide open, and he leisurely yawned, “Ha… Ahh. Ahh. Ahh. It hurts.” Hayden's leisure yawns were immediately replaced with a pitiful cry and teary eyes. Hayden sucked in a cold breath and evaluated his aching body. He slept fine last night. Why does his whole body ache now? Especially his red dots, which felt as if they had been sucked sore. Ah! His hand feels so heavy too. This feeling feels like whenever he used his hand to help Zenos. Ahem. Hayden almost smacked himself. How could he have such naughty thoughts at such a serious time? “Ahhh!” Hayden let out a pitiful cry upon using his aching hand to mistakenly touch his stiff and sore red dots.This feels so unusual. Very unusual! And very painful. Immediately, Hayden's eyes landed on the bed. Did Zenos come in? Hayden took a glance at the door, and he immediately rejected the idea. Judging by how everything seemed fine the way he left it before he fell asleep, it could be seen that Zenos didn't step into t
Silence fell immediately, but in the next second, Zenos' broke into a peal of sarcastic laughter, cruelly poking into Xavier's wound. He fell silent in the next second and asked, “Why?” Xavier leaned forward and truthfully replied, his eyes filled with regret. “Dealing with business and failing to return for weeks.” Oh. Zenos fell silent, and his eyes fell on the beautiful city view, his expression deep and enigmatic and his thoughts unfathomable. "How?" A rueful smile appeared on Xavier's face, and he ran his hands through his hair. "On a business trip that was supposed to take three days, I ended up spending two weeks. Every day coaxing and promising to return the next day.” And when he finally arrived at the mansion a few hours ago, Xavier made his return a surprise. The man had eagerly kissed him, jumped on him, and attended to him well while acting clingy, leaving no trace of suspicion in Xavier's mind. Who knew that when Xavier was about to step into the room and hug the
Hayden puckered his lips and rolled around on the bed. He sighed heavily and tightly clutched the pillow. Hayden is certain that Zenos will feel bad for not being able to cuddle with him, right? Especially when Zenos thought about not being able to kiss and touch Hayden for three days. Zenos had always been touchy and couldn't do without kissing the boy, hugging him, etc. Hehe. Serves Zenos right! Suddenly, Hayden's eyes shone, and he giggled. Zenos, that person has always been strict when it comes to Hayden. Seeing Zenos nervous and the tide switching. Hayden inexplicably feels good, and his illusionary tail hangs high into the clouds. Serves Zenos right. Hmph. Zenos won't only be missing Hayden, but he won't be able to act touchy or bully him for three days! The more Hayden thought like this, the more eager he was to experience these three days. Hayden leisurely rubbed his eyes and yawned. He slipped into the bedcover and covered himself. Soon, his eyes shut, and he f
The sensor-activated range hood and air purifiers already began to operate after detecting the exuding smoke. Due to the fact that he had returned to the study, Zenos hadn't heard the timer finish its timer countdown, so the oven continued to work. Zenos pulled open the oven, and his expression changed upon seeing the Turducken's current state. The expected crispy brown turkey is now burnt and dark, its edges slightly blackened. A sense of dread hit Zenos immediately. The boy already warned Zenos not to mess things up, or else he'll be really infuriated. The boy's infuriated expression immediately appeared in Zenos' mind, and his heart sank. If the turkey skin is burnt, then the inside…Zenos grabbed a knife and sliced the turkey, clearly hoping that the damage was minimal. His expression slipped upon noticing that the turkey meat was dry around the edges, its moisture beginning to evaporate. The outer layer of the duck is overcooked and drier than it should be. However, th
The Heart product that the sweet tongue Hayden was completely obsessed with was a completely new product and brand Zenos created solely because of Hayden's sweet tongue. Months ago, when Zenos first presented the new product to the shareholders, the product idea was completely opposed by a lot of shareholders. After all, the company has always done something different, so why would their company stoop so low to do something risky and low like creating junk like chocolate, cookies, etc.? What if it doesn't sell? Regardless of the shareholders' disgruntlement and rejections, Zenos went on to launch the product with his resources. Even though Heart was just a product that was launched in less than one month with no advertisement made, it broke world record sales and became the nation's favorite and the most expected snack brand in the country in less than a month! By then, the shareholders who all went against it could only bite their fingers in regret. Seeing the huge profits that
"Zen, you can back out and let me bid.” Hayden smacked his lips together and raised his head to stare at Zenos seriously; his actions of helping Zenos fix the apron came to a pause.Hayden saying this… It's not that Hayden looked down on or underestimated Zenos' ability to make a turducken. After all, Zen is the best, and Zen is a multi-talented genius.It's just that Zenos has been busy dealing with company work since the past week, and Zenos doing this means that Zenos won't be able to complete the work he had to do during this time.This means that Zenos has extended his work, and the time Zenos is supposed to spend resting will be spent completing the work.Furthermore, judging by the details on the web and cooking recipes, Turducken requires focus and patience, which means that at the end of the day, Zenos will be tired.Zenos is already busy dealing with work, and Hayden has been trying to make Zenos rest; the thought of adding Turducken to all this chaos doesn't sit well with H
Hayden hummed rhythmically and shook his perky butt to the tune, his hands drawing and painting and his eyes fixated on the drawing.Suddenly, Hayden's phone alarm rang, interjecting Hayden's actions.Upon hearing the alarm sound, Hayden straightened his back, carefully took the painting, and hid it at the back of the shelf.Immediately, Hayden returned to the board and took out another paper. He began to doodle on the paper and resume his humming and shaking.Zenos silently opened the door and stepped into the gallery in order not to disturb someone. Upon seeing the enticing sight of Hayden shaking his butt while humming rhythmically, Zenos paused and gulped.Immediately, Zenos strode toward the boy and smacked his perky butt, albeit gently.Hayden's face flushed, and his ear turned red. He straightened his back and turned back to glare at Zenos fiercely. "What was that for?" He uttered with a harrumph.Zenos extended his hands and hugged Hayden from behind, his hands slowly massagin
