LOGIN“When is that little doctor coming back?” Zenos questioned as he made his way to the club's private lobby calmly amidst ambient lighting, blasting music, making out couples, dancing and sweating bodies, etc. He coldly ignored the people who were batting their eyes at him seductively.
Thinking that it would help Zenos relax and let out steam as the search engine said; Zenos's friends decided to drag him to a popular club in the city to make him lose his composure and probably act like the teen he is or hopefully finds someone who'd catch his eyes.
“Michael is older than you!” Jude interrupted with amusement, making Zenos scoff at him. A dancing girl passed by them while throwing a flirtatious gaze.
“He should be back before next week, his seminar has been extended,” Sean said calmly while eating a banana.
David and Jude shook their heads at Sean's eating fruit habit, but it's known among them that messing with Sean's fruit is equal to looking for death, which made them unable to do anything but laugh silently in amusement.
“No traces?” Zenos asked them.
“All traces are cleared. No one can find him!” Jude concluded seriously.
“It's noisy,” Zenos complained, he doesn't look like someone who was in the club to unwind. He looks more like someone who's about to do business research about the club business/industry. With a cold face and elegant movement, he made his way upstairs.
David wouldn't admit that he too was not getting the actual fun that was claimed when he searched the engine. He'll really prefer to get under the bedsheet with blasting headphones in his ears than stay in this environment, but he swears that he wouldn't be the first person to back off. “Stick with it. The search engine said this is one of the ways normal people have fun!” It's more like he was convincing himself.
Thinking that this could open a new business path for their growing business, Zenos said. “We can invest in the business then. Research…”
“Seriously, business wizard Hion! No one is talking about business matters tonight; we are here to have fun!” Sean said playfully while inwardly rolling his eyes. He winked at a lady while she also cast her eyes at his sexy body hungrily.
Zenos coldly looked at Sean when he was addressed with the lame Hion name. “I wondered why you hate Hion though!” Sean said.
“Lame!” Zenos pronounced, making Sean wonder if Zenos was talking about the name of the company or the owner.
The noise in the private lobby was a bit lowered compared to the blasting noise downstairs, Zenos rested his head in the chair and closed his eyes.
Nothing caught his eye, which made him lose interest immediately. A way to unwind, what a lie!
Suddenly, it felt like his heart was tugged, making his eyes fly open. It caught his friends by surprise.
“What's wrong with you?” David asked him. A vodka drink that was making its way to his mouth was halted as he stared at Zenos due to Zenos' sudden action.
“Nothing!” Zenos stated in his cold voice, making his friends sigh. Unwinding didn't work for any of them, they thought inwardly as they began to do business matters on their phones. That's the best thing to do anyway!
Suddenly, Zenos felt as if he was drawn by something strange, he furrowed his brows at the strange feeling in his heart, but the feeling was getting intense which caused him to immediately stand up and walk to the lobby where he could have a clear view at the people downstairs and that's when he saw blond hair that unfailingly belongs to a boy.
It was a boy! A boy with blond hair? He was drawn and attracted to a boy? His thought went wild and the realization made him furrow his brows. The country isn't against same-sex couples nor was he as he had worked with a lot of them but…
Ever since he was born, he has never been attracted to anyone, but he knew that he has always been straight, it's just that no woman has caught his eyes yet which is why he was still alone. But, how come, a boy?
Numerous boys and girls have seduced him, some stripping themselves nakedly while hoping they would catch Zenos's eyes, yet he was never stirred up by them, but this blonde person not only made him hot, he even brought his younger brother alive and his heart started beating faster even without seeing the blond's face! To think that, he wasn't even disgusted with the thoughts filling his mind!
The boy seems to notice Zenos' probing and intense gaze as well because the boy looks upstairs towards Zenos's side. Zenos was a little surprised.
The law of attraction draws them together, he thought. And suddenly, he felt it: that blond person is his! A claim was immediately dropped on the blond he had never met. The blond can only be his! Zenos' possessiveness was subconsciously overflowing!
“What are you staring at?” Jude asked. Zenos' action actually surprised them, which caused them to follow.
Without waiting for Zenos' reply, Jude commented because he too had seen the blond boy Zenos was staring at after tracing Zenos's gaze. “He's hot.” He said.
“Shut up!” Zenos said in annoyance. He obviously hasn't met this person, but he already doesn't want anyone apart from himself to praise that person and be by that person's side. “Who's he?” He asked.
David replied. “Hayden, son of Ethan. Came to the country 6 months ago. Best friend here, Andy. Love painting and design…”
“He doesn't look like Ethan!” Zenos cut in.
“Surprisingly, the mask Ethan is still creating & researching looks like real skin! That man is good.” He commented.
“I wonder if he would release the mask to the world. It's good but could be dangerous too!” Sean chirped in, now holding a strawberry.
“Yeah, I think! But no one knows, the man surprisingly has numerous tricks against his sleeve after the boy was almost killed when he was 10.” Jude said, sipping his drink.
Jude's sentence caused Zenos' calm expression to turn cold, he lost his calmness and his hold on the wine glass got tighter immediately. “Hayden was almost killed?” Zenos growled and said with a voice laced with anger. “By whom?”
“It's a closed case!” Jude replied nonchalantly. “No one knows. Well, except, if you'll ask Ethan!” Jude finalized. Suddenly, a hint of regret flashes in his eyes. “I love that mask! The one in the black market isn't as good and lasting as Hayden's.” Jude said regretfully.
“I heard the mask is medicinal. Not only would it not affect his face, but it would also preserve it and even clean all the blemishes or previous wounds on the face. No face irritation even! The son must be the reason the parents dive deep into the science world.” David said.
“Was Hayden injured that time?” Zenos suddenly questioned as he caught a point in David's words.
“Probably? Rumors that fly was either that he was ugly…” Zenos glared at him in anger, making him cover his mouth with his palm apologetically, “my bad! Or dead? My bad!” He said when Zenos scowled at him due to the 'dead' word.
“Everyone thinks he died during that incident because he fell from a mountain, and Ethan didn't clarify! So sad, no one would know he has such a pitiful past. So depressing!” David sighed pitifully.
“Hayden himself loves designing. I discovered that he designed the mask himself!” Sean continued.
“He's talented!” Zenos said as his eyes followed the blond's every movement.
“He caught your eyes?” Sean noticed Zenos' fond tone.
“You're attracted to a boy, not a girl?” Jude turned to ask him in surprise.
“Wait! Did your little brother come to life for him?” David interrupted.
“Stupid!” Zenos wanted to answer them before, but David's question made him think against it.
"Doctor Michael, you have a serious case to attend to." As soon as Michael stepped into the office, the assistant handed Michael a file.Michael was in his white coat and scrubs, glasses casually perched on the bridge of his nose. His hair was pulled back and tied with a rubber band, which accentuated his exquisitely handsome, cold face.Michael collected the file and scanned through it, his brows furrowing with each line he read.Michael raised his head and looked at the assistant with knitted brows. "A stab and bleeding case? Why hasn't anyone attended to the patient? His case is serious!"The assistant spread his hands, wrinkles appearing on his forehead due to exasperation. "Doctors wanted to, but he refused everyone, claiming he wants no one other than you. He insisted that he wants you because you have a good reputation and he'll be safe entrusting himself to you."Michael ran his hand through his hair, his eyes narrowing. It couldn't be that he was about to meet Xavier 2.0. He
"Sir Xavier, you can't keep clutching my waist. I’ve got to go to work, you know.” Michael sighed and rested his palm on his forehead. He exhaled heavily, thinking that Xavier could be really clingy.Currently, Xavier's hands were wrapped around Michael's waist so tightly that it was as if he'd never let go.Despite Michael’s attempts to unwrap himself from Xavier's clinginess due to work, he kept failing woefully!The overbearing president, Xavier, currently had an aggrieved expression on his face and pressed his lips together. He placed his head on Michael’s shoulder and complained in grievance, "It's your fault, baby! You haven't fed me since the last time.”A trail of chills coursed down Michael’s spine. Daring to feed Xavier was like signing a contract to get bound to the bed for a lifetime; how could he when he had work to attend to?Michael could only coax this aggrieved fiancé of his. He leaned forward and pecked Xavier’s lips softly. "I'm sorry, Xavier, but I have to go back
“What?” Hayden sprang up immediately, his green eyes widening in shock. "You're what?” Did Zenos just say he was leaving? How? Why? Hayden’s eyes turned cold. Just for a little misunderstanding? Hayden’s fury surged so much that if he had the strength, he was definitely going to pull a certain someone and give him a fierce tossing so he could understand what he had just said. How can he mention that he was leaving? Just like that?Zenos tucked his hands into his trousers, and his blank eyes landed on Hayden. He said calmly, "No reason to stay.”Hayden’s hand balled into a fist, and he glared with fury. "What about me?" Hayden gnashed his teeth and pointed at himself.Zenos’s cold eyes landed on the boy, and his lips slowly formed a cold sneer. "You've got a new girlfriend.” "You beast!” Hayden was so furious that he could only bellow these two words. He had a girlfriend? What sort of nonsense is that? How could Hayden and Aria be a couple? Didn’t Zenos know already?Zenos let go of
Zenos alighted from the car, covered Hayden properly, and strode into the house at a long and fast pace while carrying Hayden in bridal style.Zenos pushed open the bedroom door and shut it behind him before making his way to the bed.Zenos carefully placed Hayden on the bed, filled a glass cup with water, and handed it over to Hayden. “Are you hurt?”Hayden collected the water and drank everything before returning the empty cup to Zenos.After so much crying in the car, it’s the least this lustful beast could provide to quench his dry throat. Hmph!Zenos returned the empty cup to the table and sat on the sofa.Hayden didn’t even bother to give Zenos a response.Or, it’s right to say that what Zenos got as a response to his question was a blank stare from Hayden.Zenos’ lips pressed into a line, and his glazed eyes fell on the boy. What is Hayden playing at? It has already been a few days. Is he still holding grudges?Before he could regain control over himself, Zenos had already aske
All this while that Hayden was good, Zenos didn’t come for him. What if he stepped into the club and Zenos suddenly decided to look for him in the mansion? No. He couldn’t. He wouldn’t go in. But wait… Hayden suddenly sat straight. That’s right. Isn’t what Hayden wanted Zenos’ attention? If he stepped into the club and Zenos came to look for him, wasn’t that good for him? Well, he could be tied to the bed for a while, but wasn’t that better than being ignored? Aria’s shoulder drooped and her mood fell. She sat next to Hayden and tried to blink the tears away. She ordered the driver, “Let’s go home...” Before Aria could complete her words, Hayden waved his hands in the air and arrogantly declared, “No need.” Aria stared at Hayden in bewilderment, wondering why his mood suddenly changed again. Didn’t he not want to go just now? She really didn’t know how his mind worked. Yet, her eyes lit up, and she stared at Hayden as if he were her saving grace. Hayden looked at the window and
Aria clasped her hands around the lethargic Hayden's and implored, "Hayden, please.”She bit her lower lip and whispered pitifully, “I promise this is the last time. If he doesn't change, I'll leave quietly." Aria knew Hayden had tried his best for her, even risking his relationship despite all he was going through.Even if Hayden decided not to help her anymore, she'd still be glad for all he had done. But just one last time was all she needed.Hayden sprawled on the bed with no intention of leaving his sense of comfort. He clung to his pillow and mumbled in a lazy, annoyed tone, “There are plenty of better men out there…”"Like Zenos." Aria sat straight and whispered under her breath, yet her voice was loud enough for Hayden to hear.Hayden's expression changed; he sprang up and flared in anger. He pointed at Aria and scowled, "You dare? I’ll kill you if you dare touch or seduce my man…”Finally getting a reaction from Hayden made Aria extremely pleased. Just as she thought, only Ze
