(…)“Nonsense!” Hayden seethed and quickly left angrily. He was definitely done with all of his friends. He returned to the sofa he was sitting on while sulking. He was about to sit down when he noticed that something had changed. All his fruit had disappeared, which was certainly his stupid friends' handiwork. Now, he was over done! Hayden massages his forehead tiredly while pointing at the four, who pretend not to be aware of Hayden's dilemma.“You are all nothing but pure jerks.” Hayden sighed and downheartedly began to trot back to his room. “I miss Zenos. Always taking care of me, unlike my jerk friends, who used every chance they had to bully me. Scummy men.” He mumbled, but his words were clearly loud enough for them to hear while walking the stairs.“Alright, you can leave; we won't miss you.” Mason chimed in with a snort, which made Hayden give him the middle finger expressionlessly. “Jerk!” Hayden conveyed.“Hayden, are you sure you don't want to cut another fruit?” Phili
“Zen, it's been a while, but you didn't check on me yet; it can't be that you're breaking your promise already, can it?” Hayden's eyes were fixed on his phone dejectedly. Even after he slept and woke up, he couldn't even find as much as one missed call from Zenos on his phone. How is that fair? Hayden even scrolled through the numerous call logs, but Zenos' name didn't pop up at all. Hayden fell back to his bed with a pitiful sigh. What to do? He really missed Zenos. Hayden sat up and clenched his fist determinedly. He decided to call Zenos to chide him for leaving without reaching out to him for hours. How can he do that within how many hours? Hayden couldn't help thinking, 'What if Zenos left and doesn't even reach out to him anymore?' Hayden huffed and decided to teach Zenos that dumping him or not reaching out to him was the wrong and terrible thing to do.“Baby,” Zenos called calmly after picking up the call on the first ring. Hayden's anger diluted immediately upon hearing Ze
“Fast kill!” Craig's concentration was fixed on his screen while his hand kept on controlling the gamepad. Sean had booked an expensive public arcade for the couple's date. Sean decided to set their date according to Craig's preference since Craig had mentioned gaming as his hobby. Obviously, Craig also enjoyed the date choice because he was able to be himself. “I finally found a great match who's worth my time. Except for my friends, I haven't seen anyone capable enough to… Sean!” Craig, who had just wanted to brag about how he finally found a match who had skills enough to face him, yelled when Sean killed his character less than three minutes after they started playing. “This is unfair.” He protested unhappily and put his gamepad down. Craig thought that Sean was average at gaming, but what he never expected was that Sean was a veteran. Sean's lips curled happily, and his hand was filled with the urge to hold the unhappy Craig in his hand and kiss him until he was out of b
“So, were you able to find the person behind the attack?” Jude asked Zenos, who had just entered the suite with his phone in his right hand and a briefcase in the other. Zenos handed the briefcase to Jude, who opened it immediately. He returned his phone to his pocket before sitting casually yet elegantly on a nearby couch. “Placed a gun close to my neck, the men were angry and wasted their lives,” Zenos explained casually while folding his sleeves neatly. David frowned and nodded seriously, “Good. The men did the right thing.” Anyone who dares to threaten any of their family members must be spared with no mercy. Especially when that person had the guts to move a gun toward Zenos' neck. David silently regretted that he wasn't there; he'd have taken his time having fun with the enemy's life. Besides, that person should be thankful that his life was wasted before Zenos' hand landed on him, or else… Jude nodded approvingly. They all had the technology and over-sufficient men to find
“President welcome.” Logan walked toward Xavier, who had just entered and bowed slightly to Xavier.Ever since Logan followed Xavier to Grail, Xavier had always left with Zenos or left for work alone without bringing Logan, so Logan was living a carefree life in Grail rather than working as he had originally planned. Xavier was taken aback to see Logan still waiting for him, even though he never asked him to. He took a glance at his expensive wristwatch and saw that the time was 11:44 p.m., which was really late. He entered the suite and sat on the sofa casually, asking, “Did you stay long?” Xavier probed Logan casually.“No, president,” Logan said, shaking his head to signify that he didn't stay long. “Actually, I just woke up,” he continued, which made Xavier arch his brows because he knew Logan didn't fall asleep. Xavier stood up and patted Logan's shoulder before he began to make his way to his room. Logan, you can return to the country tomorrow or over-morrow.”“President?” Log
This person wasn't simple; no wonder he caught the eye of Xander.“Shut up.” Hayden frowned and scowled angrily at Philip. How come Philip was always working against him and finding details to prove Hayden was wrong so easily? Well, Hayden smiled cunningly, thinking that since he already knew about Philip, there was an easy way to sabotage Philip's plans. Hayden turned to Mason after smirking at Philip mischievously; Philip's eyes widened in horror because he could guess what Hayden was about to do. “Look, guys, can you see he's being knowledgeable again? I told you Philip is in no way simple; he has definitely been pressed and tossed around. Can you see he's showcasing another piece of evidence?” Hayden pointed at Philip with a feigned complicated expression, which was used to hide his grin. Zenos chuckled silently with pride. His Hayden will never let himself be bullied by anyone except Zenos, of course! The other three also assessed Philip seriously. They thought that Hayden wa
Hayden was stunned by Zenos' words; even though he also missed Zenos, he never expected Zenos to tell him. He smiled happily and hugged Zenos tighter, saying, "Zen, I miss you too." Hayden whispered happily, and Zenos separated from him. Hayden's brows furrowed in confusion. He raised his neck to look at Zenos for clarification. "Zen. What's…" However, he wasn't able to pronounce his words completely when a hungry Zenos grabbed his waist, lowered his head, and shut Hayden's lips with a deep kiss. Hayden's brows fluttered softly, and he raised his neck slightly to accept Zenos' kiss with a happy smile on his face. Furthermore, his hands wrapped themselves around Zenos' neck. It was after a while that Hayden was released from Zenos' kiss, with Hayden panting heavily. Zenos lowered his head to seize the boy's lips once more, but Hayden quickly pushed him away."It's okay." Hayden separated from Zenos quickly. He could feel that hm-hm, which made his behind tremble fearfully. A few
“Your identity is dangerous; hanging around them is. Hayden had enough danger.” Zenos' hand was tucked in his pocket; he stared at Mia coldly, which caused Mia to retreat fearfully, but upon remembering her identity and who Zenos was, Mia puffed her chest, took a step forward, and stared at Zenos with the same cold intensity. Unfortunately for her, Zenos was unfazed; he didn't even bat his eyes. Mia squinted her eyes at Zenos suspiciously; she never expected him to find her information that quickly, and she was sure that it wasn't her singer identity alone that he knew, which meant he was more powerful than she thought. Although Mia tried to find Zenos' information as well, she couldn't find a thing. Mia cut straight to the chase: “I'll protect him from my danger.” Mia retorted, raising her chin coldly.“I see.” Zenos calmly strode toward her and bent slightly to whisper in Mia's ear coldly, “If Hayden sustains any injury related to you…” Zenos didn't complete his words, but they
