Hayden ascended the stairs in a fast stride, making his way to Zenos's study. He pursed his lips, and his face contorted in gloom due to unhappiness. Didn't Zenos, that person, tell Hayden that a man shouldn't hold a grudge for long? Yet it was that Zenos whose anger hadn't softened in the past few hours! Huff!Once Hayden arrives at Zenos’ study, he'll make sure to chide Zenos for telling Hayden to do something Zenos can't do either. If Zenos wants Hayden to do something before Zenos’s anger can diffuse, Hayden will do it.What's the meaning of Zenos holding grudges against the poor Hayden for so long? Hayden can't accept it. No, he definitely can’t!Thinking like this, Hayden paused and pushed the study door before he languidly strode into the office.In the monotone study, Zenos currently sat behind the computer with a glass on his face, giving him a scholarly look. A few strands of hair fell on Zenos’ face, giving him a bad-boy look. The look was so peerlessly otherworldly that Ha
Zenos’ lips curved up, and an amused glint flickered past his eyes. He wrapped his hands around the gloomy boy. "Babe. My little darling. Zenos cute Hayden. Sure?" Zenos susurrated into Hayden's ear and licked the boy's earlobe before biting it sensually. Hayden's mind turned muddled, and his whole person blanked out for a few seconds. His eyes turned teary, and his cheeks flushed at Zeno's action.But in the next minute, Hayden harrumphed coldly and faintly glared at the person in indignation. That Zenos person is trying to seduce Hayden with his devilishly handsome face. Hmph! As if Hayden would be moved! Immediately, he extended his hand to push the person’s chest and separate from the person.However, the instant Hayden’s hand touched Zenos’ rock-hard chest, his whole person turned jelly in Zenos’ embrace. Hayden’s face flushed! Zenos, that person is the most devilish yet charming person to ever exist! Thinking about Zenos' rock-hard chest he had just touched, Hayden’s ears red
“Sean, where are you?” Craig's head was down, and his reddened eyes were moist and fixed on his toes. His nose was red, his lips quivered, and his shaky voice was laced with grievance, making him appear more pitiful.Craig sniffed and hiccupped loudly, revealing that the boy had been crying for a while. Faint tears hung on his face, and dry tear traces coated his face.Upon hearing the boy’s pitiful cry, Sean’s hand gripped his hurting chest. It felt as if Sean had just been stabbed deep in his heart, making his heart exceptionally ache. At that moment, Sean wished for nothing but to go over to hug the boy and wrap the boy in a warm embrace while stroking the boy in his arms.Unfortunately for Sean, despite all the thoughts pervading his mind, he could only pronounce the boy's name helplessly. “Craig.” Craig sniffed back the tears that threatened to spill, and his body trembled harder. Nevertheless, he gripped his phone tighter. Even though there was a slim 0.01% chance rate, Craig
PROLOGUEYears back On the outskirts of the city, the road was deserted with hardly any cars passing by except an expensive car that was parked near the road. Heavy rain was falling, and it was very chilly that late afternoon. “Mom! Please don't leave!” A little boy of 6 years who was just dropped from an expensive car cried out, he was afraid of the things to come if his mother dumped him in an unknown and deserted place where there appears to be no signs of humans. The little boy was a bit thin and malnourished, he was dressed in dirty and worn-out clothing from head to toe, but that couldn't even hide his handsome and noble expression. He cried out pitifully with tears streaming down his handsome little face. He was trying to pull the woman's gown, but the woman looked unfazed, dressed in expensive luxury from up to down, she coldly pushed the small boy away with contempt and disgust written on her face while the guards watched everything nonchalantly. The woman pushed the boy
“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 a
The loud noise didn't resonate well with Hayden, but the excitement pictured on Andy's face made him keep his shut. Besides, he'll be meeting Rose, the girl he has been courting for almost 2 weeks in a few minutes which made him a little eager. Suddenly, Hayden's whole body screamed alert as he felt like he was being watched by an intense gaze. After being occasionally targeted, he tends to know when danger is near, but subconsciously he found himself relaxing because the gaze doesn't mean danger, instead it kind of brings a safe feeling to him. Hayden lifted his head to look in the direction of the intense gaze, but seeing numerous people and the inability to see those people's faces, he turned and walked away while holding Andy's hand.“Invite to the dancing room. Mr., be my partner!” Andy said with a laugh as he bowed playfully. Hayden smacked Andy's hand away. “Be serious”. Hayden warned coldly and then dragged him towards the bartender amidst dancing bodies and a flirtatio
Hayden can't help thinking if that man was the real predator and just pretended to be his knight last night. Hayden's brows soon furrowed at his stupid thought. What was he thinking? How can a man be a man's knight? He started scolding himself inwardly.“You've forgotten?” The stranger finally replied to the blond with a pale face question but with a chilling voice, furrowed brows, and a cold expression that made no sense to Hayden. Why is he annoyed at him? Hayden thought. Shouldn't he be the one who should be angry that he was taken advantage of when he was drunk? He glared at the stranger. Zenos solemnly stared at the boy who they had both rolled around in the sheet last night, to think that the boy did not remember everything he said and did, annoyed and pained him even if they just met last night, and it was a one-night stand. Hayden's mouth turns dry, and shivers run through his spine with the cold tone the stranger uses to talk to him. Just two words sent chills down Hayd
Zenos scoffed in amusement. “Unbeneficial to you? You're the one at a loss? When did it become your turn to claim those words? Who was the one crying, begging, and panting for more, faster while I do the work?”. Zenos accused, making the multiple feelings coursing through Hayden disperse as he began to blush in embarrassment.“Never, I didn't say it!” Hayden cried out in denial, flustered. He glared at Zenos for making him lose the composure he was trying to gather easily.“You don't like to admit it, do you?” Zenos was able to point out Hayden's behavior easily.“It's true that it was not beneficial to me. My back was the one not functioning now, not yours.” He complained in annoyance.“Unbeneficial to you, you said again?” Zenos strides toward Hayden, who's glaring at him, and holds his (H) chin with a dark expression. “You have lots of courage, young boy.”“Stop calling me a young boy,” Hayden said irritatedly and smacked Zenos's hand away. “Don't act as if you're that much older
