Zeno's body felt battered as he woke up the next morning; his muscles were protesting from being overstressed. He knew he needed to rest, but he couldn't—not in this environment. Rest equaled death in his current condition.

"Good morning, Zeno," Ken hugged him softly as he came into his room.

"Whoa! You're up early; that's a change, buddy." Zeno patted Ken's soft hair.

"Yeah, and I also brushed my teeth and took a shower," Ken said excitedly, waiting to be praised.

"You're awesome, Ken. High-fi

    Zeno's heart was beating rapidly for two reasons.First, because it was the first time he was going to enter that kind of car... and drive it! He was ecstatic, over the moon, but he tried his best to comport himself. Second, he was wary of his boss; he didn't trust him and wondered where he wanted to lure him. Zeno sighed as he pulled the door open, only hoping he wasn't driving himself to his death. Anything was possible with Sebastian; he got more spontaneous as the days went by.Zeno closed the door as he entered the car, marveling at the sophisticated interior. He was almost tempted to run his hands over the rich leather of the seat, but his eyes suddenly caught Sebastian's image in the rearview mirror. He had just wanted to steal a glance at the brooding man; he never expected him to be staring right back at him.The moment their eyes locked, Zeno felt a strange feeling wash over him. He immediately remembered the unusual incident that had happened between them earlier in his new

    "Uh, um, nothing, I was just wondering—maybe I should take Ken to school? He's running a bit late..." Zeno trailed off when he saw the look on Sebastian's face darken.Sebastian balled his fists in rage.No one, absolutely no one, had ever tested his patience the way Zeno did. Everyone obeyed his words before he even spoke them. But this dumbass at the bottom of the stairs had proven stubborn by trying to refute him in every way."Are you disobeying me?" Sebastian asked in a deathly tone.Zeno felt the chill in Sebastian's voice and immediately knew it wasn't a wise choice to test his patience. He would just have to follow him with caution."No, boss," he replied and immediately climbed the stairs, but he was surprised to find Sebastian still standing in place, not moving forward.He decided to stop one step away from his boss and wait for him to continue walking so he could follow, but without warning, he was dragged up the stairs by the collar, his back slamming into the wall."Ugh!

    Sebastian quietly pushed open Zeno's door and walked into the room. He stopped beside the bed and stared at the sleeping, bruised face.He had never really taken the time to look at his employee's face, but at that moment, he carefully noted that if it weren't for those bruises and plasters, Zeno was a beauty to behold. There was a kind of charm he carried, and Sebastian could not understand how a man could be so beautiful and handsome at the same time.He sighed and quickly cleared his mind of such stupid thoughts. He concluded that there was nothing good about Zeno—nothing at all. He was just useful because his son was so insistent on having him as a Manny. He felt the urge to punch Zeno's face again when he remembered that he was staying rent-free in his house without his consent, courtesy of his father and son.It was one of the things that vexed him. He never let anyone stay close to him and his son, but now, a stranger had suddenly waltzed his way into their lives and proved ada

    Sebastian saw how weak and battered Zeno looked as he hung from the chains, but he couldn't care less; he was ready to punish him more or even kill him if he didn't give him the response he needed."You planned this with her all along, didn't you?" Sebastian dangerously strode toward Zeno. "Too bad she's still as dumb as ever. It wasn't hard to crack and track. Now, tell me what she wants from me." Sebastian lifted Zeno's tired face with the mouth of his gun, forcing him to look at him through his swollen eyelids."Answer me!" He hit Zeno's lips with the back of the gun.Zeno coughed profusely, spurting out blood as he did. His body swung like an equilibrium experiment as the chain kept him hanging an inch above the floor."I've told you before..." cough "I don't know what you're talking about, and I have no idea what that was or where it came from," Zeno tried to sound firm. He would have cursed Sebastian out if his Nana wasn't at stake. This was the kind of man his Nana had warned h

Zeno patted Ken's soft hair."Yeah, and I also brushed my teeth and took a shower," Ken said excitedly, waiting to be praised."You're awesome, Ken. High-five?" Zeno lowered his hand to Ken."Yay, I'm awesome!" Ken said as he gingerly high-fived Zeno."Come on, let's get you fed and off to school." Zeno lifted Ken in his arms and carried him downstairs. He was surprised to see Sebastian sitting broodingly on the sofa; there was a scowl on his handsome face. He wondered what it would be like to see that face free from scowls and resentment—probably not in this lifetime. A devil doesn't know how to smile.Zeno always believed in keeping a friendly re

    Zeno never thought he would hear this kind of thing in real life; he only saw such scenes in movies and novels. Or perhaps, he was just a pawn in someone's game, just like Switch On the series?He berated himself for thinking stupid thoughts."Yes, Zeno, try to make him loosen up with women. Ever since Ken's mother left him, he's been... Well, you've seen how he is," Mr. Orion waved his hands dismissively in front of him."How's this any of my concern?" Zeno asked."Well, you see, if you're able to set him up with women, at the end of the day, he's a man and he's bound to fall in love with one. And with love comes possession; he'll want to have her all to himself. That's where marriage comes in." Mr. Orion smiled mischievously at Zeno, pointing his index finger to his head."Then, once they're married, Ken gets someone else to take care of him... a mother figure. Then your role and time here will be over. You're free to go back to your Abuela." Mr. Orion walked behind Zeno and patted
