Zeth felt another sharp pain in his jaw, causing him to snap out of his thoughts.

He covered his lip with the back of his hand when he felt blood dripping on the side of it.

"What the fuck was that for?" he exclaimed when he realized that Cedric had punched him.

"For being a fucking asshole," Cedric spat.

"Shit, man. What has gotten into you?" he asked as he wiped the blood on his hand on his trousers.

"What has gotten into me? What has gotten into YOU?! Ever since you talked to your parents, you've been nothing but an asshole. And you made Adriel the center of your rudeness even when she didn't do anything wrong!"

"I'm like this because of her, okay? My life was going well. I had already forgotten about her! But then, she comes back to oscillate my fucking life. And she still has a hold on me as she did more than four years ago!"

"That isn't an excuse, Zeth," Cedric said. "You're acting like Adriel's the one at fault for every little inconvenience in your life."

  • Running Away with the Billionaire's Baby   Chapter 43: Make It Up To You

    Zeth couldn't say anything. He was speechless. The kid that looked exactly like him just called him daddy, and he didn't know what to feel about it. One thing is certain, though—he doesn't hate the feeling. Just then, the two of them heard a thud coming from the bathroom, causing Zenon to snap out of his daze and hold onto Zeth's hand. "Mister, can you please help my mommy?" he sobbed. "My mommy is feeling sick." Zeth thought for a second that he knocked on the wrong unit, but for some reason, there was already a suspicion in his heart that he had entered the right one. And if his suspicions are right, his heart felt more at pain for all the unfair things that he did to Adriel. "Bring me to her," he said. Zenon didn't hesitate to pull Zeth to the bathroom. "My mommy was shaking, mister. And she went to the bathroom to take a shower," Zenon said, still sniffling. When they made it in front of the bathroom, Zeth kneeled down to Zenon's level and caressed his hair. Shit. Looking a

    After Zeth made sure that Adriel was fast asleep, he gently got up from her bed and walked to the living room to meet the little boy that his heart had been missing ever since. Zenon turned around with wide eyes when he heard someone's footsteps approaching. He looked at Zeth in wonder as he sat down right next to him. The two of them stared at each other, looking as if their past and future selves were meeting for the very first time. There was one thing that's obvious when looking at the two of them—they were definitely related. "Zenon, right?" Zeth asked after a moment of silence. Zenon slowly nodded his head. "Yes, I'm Zenon. Is my mommy alright, mister?""Yeah," Zeth said as he ruffled his hair. "Your mommy's already sleeping in her bed. She's okay now."Zenon let out a sigh of relief. His mommy was everything to him, and hearing that she was going to be alright plucked a thorn out of his heart. "Then, are you staying here, mister?" he asked. Zeth scooted closer to him. "You

    "Then, can I also be a part of his life? I want to give him the happiness that he deserves." Adriel looked down on her lap. "Okay," she said in a soft voice. "Hmm?" Zeth asked, wanting to confirm if what he just heard was real. "Yes?" "Yes," Adriel said in a firm voice. "You can be a part of Zenon's life. I won't take that away from you." Adriel knew that agreeing to Zeth's proposition would be the best for Zenon. She knew of the desires deep within Zenon's heart, and she also knew that some of those desires would only be fulfilled by Zeth. Her eyes widened in surprise when she suddenly felt a warm pair of arms wrap around her shoulders. "Thank you, Adriel. Thank you. Thank you," he rambled. "You don't know how much this means to me." Adriel smiled and hesitantly patted the man's back. "It's alright. It's what Zenon deserves. It's what the two of you deserve," she said. Zeth snuggled deeper into her neck. "I'll make it up to you, I promise. I'll make sure to take care of the

    Adriel took the phone away from Daphne's hands to take a closer look at her screen. Indeed, it was a video of her walking down the runway during the showcase. It was accompanied by the caption—"Who is she?" She scrolled down to see the comments and was shocked that almost all of the responses were positive. "Does someone already know her name?" "Who's this fine woman?" "I think I just fell in love..." "Someone seriously needs to find her name." Adriel dropped Daphne's phone on the bed. "Why—Why am I here?" she absent-mindedly asked. Daphne took the phone once again and looked at the post with bright eyes. "Girl, you're fucking famous!" Adriel looked at her with wide eyes. "Famous? They don't even know my name!" "Then, do you want me to comment your name under this thread? We can even post a picture together," she excitedly said. Adriel snatched Daphne's phone away from her hands and placed it out of her reach. "You are not going to do that!" "Give me my phone back. This

    Zeth walked into the office with a huge smile on his face. It was a rare sight for most of his workers, but none of them dared question their boss for fear of getting scolded. "You look awfully happy for someone who had just gone through a company crisis," Jo said when she saw the smile on Zeth's face. Oh, right. The stealing issue of K brand is yet to be resolved. He almost forgot about it since he was so happy hanging out with his son during the weekend. Zeth removed the smile on his face and went over his agenda for today. "Has the source been found?" he asked. Jo nodded his head. "Yes. We've traced the email account that messaged you the photos of Adriel and Kayden having lunch together, and it turned out that their IP address is in this very building." Zeth frowned. "And? Has the culprit been caught?" "Yes. It didn't take much time before the investigators found the owner of the computer. It seems as if they hadn't done this before. Her name is Ophelia Golding, and she's

    Zeth looked longingly at the empty table just right outside his office. He had already prepared himself for Adriel's departure, and yet he still feels his throat tightening up whenever he realizes that Adriel really isn't working at Gray Entertainment anymore. "Do you miss her?" Jo jokingly asked. "Yes," he sighed. Jo was taken aback by his straightforward answer. She was only asking a rhetorical question—she wasn't expecting him to actually answer her question. "What? I thought you hated her guts?" Zeth frowned. "How did you come to that conclusion?" Jo looked at him in disbelief. "Duh? You made the poor girl work so much! And Cedric also told me about the blunder that happened in your office when we found out about K brand stealing our new collection." Zeth looked down on his lap. "I was the worst, wasn't I?" "You were," Jo agreed. "Maybe that's the reason why Adriel left the company. Such a waste. That girl made my work a walk in the park. Now that she's gone, I could alr

    "Can't I come with you, mommy?" Zenon asked as Adriel zipped up her bag. Adriel sat down on the bed and carried Zenon in her lap, peppering his face with small kisses. "Mommy, that tickles," he giggled as he pushed her away. "I'm going to miss you, bub," she said before placing one more kiss on his forehead. "Take me with you, mommy. I also want to go to the beach," he pouted. She smiled sadly while fixing his hair. "I really want you to come, bub. But mommy's going to be working there. I won't have any time to take care of you. And besides, you have school, bub. You don't want to miss out on your classes, do you?" Zenon dejectedly nodded his head. "I'm going to miss you, mommy," he threw his arms around his mother's neck. Adriel hugged him back tightly. "Me too, bub. Me too. But, I'll only be away for three days. You can stay with your aunt Daphne for three days, right?" "Yes, mommy," Zenon nodded his head. The two of them broke away from the hug, but it seemed like Zenon st

    "What?" Adriel was fully awake now, all the sleep leaving her system. "What do you mean the car won't start?" Zeth twisted the key to start the engine once more, but it only made a weird creaking sound. "I think the battery might be dead," he said. Adriel sighed and leaned back against her seat, grasping her seat. "I can't believe this." She got out of the car to see if they could ask for any help, but unluckily, they were on a secluded road far away from the city. Zeth also got out of the car and cursed under his breath when he realized that the battery picked the worst place possible to die out on them. "Where are we?" Adriel asked, looking for some kind of civilization. "It looks like we're in a desert. Does this really lead up to the photoshoot site?" "It does," Zeth responded. "Jo just picked out a secluded beach to lower the chances of other people being on the site." Adriel sighed. "Well, that's bad news for us. It doesn't look like other cars even pass through th

    "Ooh la la," Adriel said as he ogled the man in front of her. Aria sat down next to her and also couldn't take away her eyes from the new gardener who was tending to grandpa Earl's garden. They had been in the villa for about a week now, and they were planning on going back to the city together in the next weeks or so. Right now, they were having afternoon tea on the porch. Adriel had already sent her kids to take a nap, so she invited Aria to eat outside on the grass since the weather was lovely. However, they were in for a surprising treat when they saw the new gardener that grandpa Earl had hired tending to the plants and grass. He was probably a 40-year-old male, and he seriously had lumberjack vibes. You know those types of men that you see in forests chopping wood up? Tall, muscular, and mature. It also doesn't help the fact that he's wearing nothing but a thin, white shirt that has already been drenched by his sweat, causing it to look transparent under the soft afternoon

    "Baby, my baby," Adriel muttered in her sleep, her head moving from side to side. Zeth quickly opened his eyes to see what Adriel was talking about. He let out a sigh when she appears to be having a nightmare. "Angel," he gently said, patting her cheek softly. "Angel, wake up. You're having a nightmare.""No, don't take my baby away from me," she continued fighting him off. Zeth placed a chaste kiss on her lips, causing her to calm down. She opened her eyes slowly and was met with Zeth's reassuring face. Her eyes started tearing up, probably from all the tiredness and the hormones. "Where's our daughter?" she asked. Zeth smiled. "Our daughter is fine, angel. She's in the room next to ours," he said. Adriel finally let out a sigh of relief. In her dreams, she couldn't find her daughter, so when she woke up, she thought that everything would be the same. She buried her face in Zeth's face and inhaled his comforting scent. "I'm so happy," she said. "We have another baby in our live

    "Oh my gosh," Aria exclaimed as soon as they arrived in the vicinity of the Zhang mansion. It was her first time coming here, and she couldn't believe that Kian hid the fact that they owned this kind of home from her. She knew that his family was rich, but she never even imagined that they were rich RICH. Kian scratched the back of his head, looking around the house where he spent his childhood in. All the good and bad memories came rushing to his mind—mostly the bad memories, though. Because of his family, he had quite a hard time growing up. If it weren't for Cedric, who was always with him when they were younger, then he reckoned that he must have gone insane. It's a good thing that his parents don't meddle with their lives anymore. As they grew up, they just started caring less and less. For Kian, that was better, though. At least now, he can choose the life he wants to live. "You okay?" Aria asked, looping her arm around his. Kian snapped out of his thoughts and tried his be

    "Kian, Kian," Aria shook Kian awake as she looked at her phone in awe. Zeth had just sent her a text message, saying that Adriel had already given birth to their daughter, and there's nothing she wanted more but to travel to the province to see the precious little girl herself. She clicked her tongue as she shook awake her lover. "Wake up, Kian," she exasperatedly said. "Baby," she tried calling out her sweet nickname for him, but to no avail. She sighed and decided to bring out her final weapon. "We're not going to have sex for an entire month if you don't wake up right now."Like a magic spell, Kian woke up from his slumber and looked at Aria with wide eyes. "No sex? What? What's happening? What time is it?" he said, still drunk from his sleep. Aria smiled and held onto his arm, pulling him to stand up from the bed. "Let's go!" she excitedly said. "Where are we going, Aria?" He looked at the bedside clock. "It's literally 4 AM in the morning! Where do you want to go in this ung

    Adriel rolled down the car window to let the fresh gush of wind run through her hair. She closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of the sharp grass and the fresh flowers. She was already eight months pregnant, and it's been getting harder and harder to manage her pregnancy each day since her due date was getting nearer. She's been feeling more nauseous in the city with all the pollution, so Zeth decided for them to stay in the province while waiting for her due date. Zeth chuckled as he watched his adorable wife smiling widely at the green scenery. Even if he'll be swamped with work the second he comes back to the city, he knows that it's better for them to stay here for the sake of Adriel's health. He's willing to do anything just to always make her feel at ease. "Aren't you feeling dizzy, angel?" he asked. Adriel looked back at him and shook her head. "No. The air over here is so fresh that I don't feel nauseous at all. Thank you for bringing me here despite your busy schedul

    "Why are you so nervous?" Kian asked, looking at Zeth, who was pacing back and forth in the hotel room. "Fuck off," he said. Kian raised his hands up in surrender. "Damn. You don't have to be so sensitive."Zeth groaned and attempted to run his fingers through his hair. However, when he realized that his hair had already been styled, he quickly placed his hand down and continued pacing back and forth."You're making me dizzy, man. Sit down," Kian exclaimed. "Where's Cedric when you need him?" Zeth asked under his breath. "Hey," Kian said in an offended voice. "Your best man is right here!" he exclaimed, pertaining to himself. "Don't look for another person when I'm literally right here.""Yeah. You were my second option," Zeth deadpanned. "If Cedric didn't have to leave too early, then he would have been my best man."Kian rolled his eyes. "Whatever, man. You're stuck with me. And because you said that, I'm not going to comfort you. Instead, I'm going over to the bride's room upst

    "How are you doing over there, bro? Have you been to the Eiffel Tower yet?" Cedric shook his head. "Not yet. I've never really gotten the chance to tour around," he said. Kian's eyes widened in surprise. "What? But you've been there for a week. You should go around the city when you have the time!" Cedric scratched the back of his head. "It's just that—It's hard adjusting to the atmosphere here. Besides, I took care of my papers for the company transfer, and I also finished furnishing my apartment. I didn't have any time to tour around." Kian sighed. "Are you deliberately staying in your own apartment?" "No," Cedric sheepishly said. "You're lying," Kian said. "I know that you're confining yourself in your own little space once again. There's no use in lying to me, bro. I know you like I know the back of my hand." Cedric clicked his tongue. "There's nothing interesting around here!" "You haven't even tried going out yet. How would you even know?" he asked. "Come on," Kian urge

    “Let’s sleep,” Aria said after a heavy make-out session.“What?” Kian absentmindedly said, still dazed from the heated kiss they shared. Aria giggled. “I’m tired, honey. Let’s sleep,” she said, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest.After a few seconds, the rise and fall of her chest started getting deeper—an indication that she had already fallen asleep. Kian looked up at the ceiling and sighed. “Aria,” he said.As expected, Aria had already fallen asleep. He closed his eyes as he placed one of his hands over his crotch. He felt his hardening member underneath his think cotton shorts. He let out a sigh of disbleief before pinching himself. "Calm down," he whispered to himself. He looked at Aria, who was peacefully sleeping beside him, and couldn't help but bite his lips. It has been about two months since they started their relationship, and everything has been great since then. Sure, they bicker from time to time, but it's really nothing serious.

    “Adriel Summers,” he smiled up at her. Adriel looked down on her lover, still unbelieving of the current situation. Of course, she had imagined this a thousand times in her head. Being married to Zeth and having the opportunity to stay with him until the end of their lives was one of her greatest desires. Now that the moment had come, she couldn't help but be emotional. “You have changed my life in the best way possible, and I don’t think I can live without you anymore," Zeth said. “I love you so much,” tears started welling up in his eyes. “I see you every single day, and yet I still feel like I miss you. I love you so so much, but I still feel like I haven’t loved you enough. So, allow me to love you for the rest of our lives. I may not be able to promise a perfect relationship, but what I can promise is perfect love.” “Will you marry me?” he finally asked the question. It was a brief statement, but nonetheless, it was perfect. Tears started streaming down Adriel’s face the se
