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
Hayden yawned lazily and opened his eyes to see Zenos quietly working on his phone. Hayden enjoyed the handsome sight so much that he kept quiet. Zenos seemed to notice Hayden's gaze because, a few seconds after Hayden woke up, he placed his phone on the bed and kissed Hayden's cheeks. “How're you doing? Does it hurt? Do you feel good?” Zenos questioned. Even though they had only done it once, he knew he had taken Hayden hard, enjoying how the boy cried and panted at his actions. Suddenly, Hayden's face turned red upon recalling everything, and he quickly turned his back on Zenos. Zenos arched his eyebrows at Hayden's actions; he hugged Hayden from behind and sprayed Hayden's ears with warm breath. Hayden tried to shrink away, all to no avail due to Zenos' firm hold on his waist. “Stop bullying me,” Hayden whispered shyly without staring at Zenos. Suddenly, Zenos chuckled, which made Hayden turn to stare at him. “Shy?” Zenos asked with a mischievous smirk. Hayden's face turned
“Choosing hoes before your friend.” Hayden stared at Craig with disdain. Craig smacked Hayden's head angrily and said, “Sean isn't my hoe.” He defended with a disapproving frown. Hayden was pained by the smack and retaliated by kicking Craig unhappily. “You're also jumping into marriage? You little jerk.” He retorted.“Shut up.” Craig scowled and stared at Hayden contemptuously.After all, back when Hayden met with Zenos in the club, Hayden left home to search for Zenos and reached out to none of them. He also refused to pick up any of their calls. “When did it become your chance to talk? You left and didn't pick up our call after you met Zenos wherever you went that morning…” Craig suddenly paused. He squinted his eyes at Hayden sinisterly. “The guys are yet to bring up your punishment, aren't they? I guess that's the reason you're still brazen.” Craig suddenly took his phone from his pocket with a sinister light. “Let me remind….” Hayden shivered fearfully upon remembering the
“Intending to flee again?” Zenos' blue eyes were filled with uncontained anger.“I…” Hayden's heart started to race. He stared at Zenos with a stunned expression.After a few seconds, he was able to process the meaning behind Zenos' cold glare. He finally understood the meaning behind Zenos' actions, and it made him tremble. Zenos lifted Hayden's chin angrily, his blue eyes glowing dangerously and his thin lips in a straight line. “You never learn, do you?” He spat out. Zenos was so annoyed. He really wanted to smack sense into this little overthinker of his who thought he was only choosing the best choice, which was capable of tearing them apart. Hayden finds himself scared by this side of Zenos, and he can't help but shrink back with fear, which further increases Zenos' anger. Hayden's lips parted to explain himself, but before Hayden could muster any words, Zenos bent slightly and threw Hayden onto his shoulder. Hayden's heart skipped a bit. No, it started racing. He finally
"There Zenos. Yes." Hayden cried out, a smile on his face, while Zenos massaged Hayden's back, adding strength when necessary and withdrawing it when not. Hayden continued to beam with delight until Zenos' hand suddenly began to inch downward. Knowing the type of person Zenos was, Hayden kicked him off without warning. "Ouch." Hayden sucked in a cold breath and cried out upon pulling a muscle mistakenly due to the kick. And because of that, he glared at Zenos, the culprit, saying, "Lustful beast." He harrumphed and buttoned his shirt quickly. Zenos lay beside Hayden, hugged him, and poked Hayden's nose playfully, "You think too much. I didn't do anything or plan to." He refuted with a sincere face, only for Hayden to harrumph loudly. Hayden knew how fast Zenos' passion could be ignited, so he didn't believe Zenos' words. He definitely didn't believe that lustful person. "Taking precautions also." He commented and ruffled Zenos' hair. His eyes lit up upon feeling t
“It seems being unable to get in control is making that old man jittery. Sending Jade to Zenos, huh? Wrong option.” David muttered and scowled, tapping something on his phone while pacing the room. Suddenly, his brows knitted into a frown, and he stopped in his tracks. He sat on the sofa and placed his phone on his lap. “Something is wrong.” David turned to Jude with a contemplative stare. Actually, David was about to leave the suite to stroll around when he saw the scene between Zenos, Hayden, and Jade. And because of that, he dumped his choice and returned to the room. Thinking about it now, David realized that he had never seen Zenos that cold before, and it made him realize something. Jude leaned back on the sofa with leisure and asked, “What?” Even though he had an idea of what David was about to ask him.“Zenos had exceptionally sharp ears since childhood; how come he didn't know Hayden caught Rose and his interaction?” David mumbled, his brows furrowed in bewilderment. Ju
Aria sat on a desk and swung her long legs while munching an apple elegantly, her eyes fixated on Hayden's painting in admiration.Aria blinked and tilted her neck in curiosity. "Thought the painting and designing are nothing but a hobby. Nothing more!" she articulated, recalling Hayden's firm words in the past."Hm." Hayden meticulously placed his brush down and straightened his back. His eyes took in the painting seriously, as if trying to find any errors.Upon seeing none, Hayden’s lips curved up in a smile. Even though the painting was only half done, it was beautifully executed.Upon hearing Hayden’s absentminded responses, Aria’s brows furrowed slightly. How was she to understand? If Hayden said it was nothing but a hobby, then why was he pursuing it? "You're applying for it, aren't you?"Aria’s brows raised in a mischievous grin, and she stopped munching the apple. She posed like a model shooting for an advertisement. "Who convinced your unshakeable mind? Zenos?"At the mention
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
