Craig leisurely strode out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He casually used the towel in his hand to dry his wet hair while striding toward his hair treatment section. Craig extended his hand to pick up his hair dryer, but before he could successfully pick it up, his phone suddenly rang, attracting Craig's attention.Craig’s brows arched, and he strode towards his bed immediately. He picked up his phone to see an unknown number calling him. His brows furrowed slightly, yet he accepted the call and placed the phone next to his ear. “Hey...”“Did you know Big Brother Sean specially curated a list of places just to find the perfect city for me to spend my vacation? If you don’t, I just wanted to tell you that.” Xena’s charming voice, filled with extreme cockiness, drifted into Craig’s ear. Xena’s voice was filled with so much smugness that it was clear that she wanted to show off while gloating at Craig.Craig’s expression changed, and his lips pursed in a thin li
As soon as Zenos’s car arrived at the mansion, Hayden jumped down from the car with a beam without waiting for Zenos to park. Zenos’ expression turned dark in an instant. This rascal still hasn’t stopped his naughty yet dangerous behavior. Zenos expertly parked his car and swiftly alighted from it. He strode towards Hayden, who stood at a spot, waiting patiently for Zenos. Upon seeing the gloomy expression on Zenos’ face, Hayden’s heart skipped a beat, and he had the impulse to chide himself fiercely. He smacked his lips together. How could he behave so recklessly in Zenos’ presence? His behind trembled while he thought that he must really have a tossing wish.Zenos had always been strict with Hayden’s safety, and Hayden knew that. Hayden didn’t believe that he'd momentarily lose himself and do such reckless things in Zenos’ presence. If Hayden had recalled himself, even if he had 900 lives, he would never dare jump down from a moving car.Hayden snapped out of his thoughts and im
"Zenos, did Michael, Jude, David, and Sean come with you?” As soon as everyone stood up from the dining table, Jade rushed to Zenos’ side and began to pester him with questions. It was as if Jade was trying to flaunt Zenos and Jade’s relationship at Hayden, and the boys. At the mention of Sean, Jade felt a sudden, piercing stare fall on her. The gaze was so fierce that it made her hair stand on end. Jade’s brows furrowed, and she turned around to find the owner of the gaze. Unfortunately, when she turned around, she failed to capture whoever it was.Craig’s lips pursed in gloom. He’s already sulking about Xena; does this person want to join the list?Unlike Hayden, Craig won’t give anyone a chance. Yes, he won’t give them the chance to cast their bewitching eyes on his man. Regardless of their gender, he’ll throw them out before they can touch his man. And then warn Sean fiercely! At the sight of the duo, Hayden felt as if his heart had been clenched deeply, making it exceptionally
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
