CRUNCH!“Hayden!” Zenos called out at the same time and pulled him back to his strong chest. His heart was thumping in fear because he almost lost him. What if? What if he wasn't there anymore? Would he have lost… Hayden's eyes widened in shock, and he froze in fear. His fingers trembled, and his pale face looked paler. If not for Zenos, he could have been hit by the car.“You stu…” the driver who almost hit Hayden due to Hayden suddenly running into the road, came out angrily. He was heaving heavily in fear and anger. He wanted to curse Hayden for ridiculously running into the road, but a blank and cold stare from Zenos made him tongue-tied.“Hayden!” Zenni, Ethan, and Andy came running toward them in fear, but before they could reach them. Zenos threw “settle him” and left with Hayden. Zenos immediately bridal-carried him and strode towards Hayden's ward. He began to scold Hayden. “What are you doing? Did you lose your mind? Are you so tired of living…”“Zenos. You really came!” H

“Are you really stupid to fall for his lies again?” Hayden chuckled mockingly. Hayden knew Andy was always played by Levi, and whenever Andy promised not to fall for Levi's traps would be the time he fell harder. Andy immediately glared at Hayden due to Hayden's mockery. “I'm not…” Suddenly, a knock sounded, which interrupted their conversation. Hayden and Andy looked at themselves in a loss before Andy said: “Come in.”“Speaking about the devil spawn, and he shall appear. What's he doing here, anyway?” Andy's eyes widened in displeasure after Levi entered.“I can hear that, kid.” A devilishly handsome face, with attractive brown eyes, a beautifully carved nose, and enticing kissable lips, said. He has a tall figure and well-combed jet-black hair. Levi was dressed in a tucked-in white shirt and deep-blue suit trousers. The shirt's hand was rolled up, which revealed Levi's bulging muscle.“Like I care.” Andy rolled his eyes.“That's not the right tone to speak to elder brother.” Lev

He totally never knew when Ethan came into his room, when did his father come in?“Father.” Hayden immediately changed his expression to a calm one and tried to stand up respectfully.“Don't.” His father stopped him and immediately walked over elegantly, toward Hayden's bed.“How are you doing, son?”. Ethan asked with a caring, fatherly smile.“Dad, I'm fine”.His father immediately removed the mask on his face to reveal his real face. Ethan then asked Hayden to remove his, and Hayden immediately did without protest. “You've changed.” Was Ethan's first word after they both removed the mask and let it rest on the bed beside them.“Dad…” Hayden called in confusion.“You didn't shake at all when you removed the mask, but previously, you always act up,” Ethan explained. Hayden knew his father's word was true, but he too never knew when he stopped caring whether the mask was on or not, maybe it was due to Zenos repeatedly removing his mask and telling him he prefers his real face to the

The crowd looked at themselves with disbelief. “Is that the end of the drama?” Someone asked unconvinced.“So boring!” The crowd said in annoyance. What's the meaning of this argument when they don't even know what causes the fight and what the boy whispered to the girl before he walked out? At least let them know one side of the story; either the beginning or the end is fine with them. The crowd was so annoyed that no one cared about Rose's pitiful and invoking expression until when a man in his early twenties began to approach Rose which makes people's excitement return in folds.“That's the heir of the ROLCE'S company. I heard they'd soon become the next best thing.”“The ROLCE was even invited to the socialites' party last month, that girl is so lucky.”“That young master should spare me a look.” “TSK. TSK. This girl is so lucky, she got dumped by a man while another immediately…”The crowds continued to fawn with envious expressions at Rose's luck, while some were filled with j

“What's your answer?” Ethan questioned, and the air in the library felt tense, immediately. Hayden looked at his fingers for a minute as if he were studying them. His heartbeat was racing. He bit his lips as he tried to say the word out. Without looking at his father, unwilling to look at his father's expression, Hayden answered. “Zenos.” Suddenly, he felt his father's gaze land on him, he mustered up the courage and raised his head to look at his father and on his father's face there appears to be a trace of sadness. Hayden's heart can't help but skip a beat. “But, Father, why are you looking at me like that?” He asked, trying to stay calm. “Would you hate me if I'm not straight?” Ethan's expression turned back to normal when he heard his son's words. He never expected Hayden to be afraid of them being annoyed by his sexuality. “It's not that, son,” Ethan replied with a comforting smile. “I'm fine with your sexuality, I just want you to know that the road you're trailing…” Ethan
