The footsteps sounded closer, and closer, and closer, until he faintly heard Siri's voice welcoming someone into the house, but before he could open his eyes to see who it was, he felt a large hand gripping his neck, his legs were locked tightly between much larger ones, and, he felt the cold metal of a gun placed directly on his...gun.

Zeno quickly opened his eyes from instincts, ready to fight off his attacker, but the moment he did so, he was met with mesmerizing dark grey orbs, staring dangerously at him. 

The face of his attacker was too close, he couldn't make out his features, but he knew they were sharp, even from a closed look.

He didn't bother fighting, he didn't want to lose his junior member down there, and his Nana still expected grandchildren from him. He couldn't disappoint her.

"Who. Are. You?" The voice of his attacker was so deep, dark, and commanding.

Zeno was a fighter, but he felt a chill run down his spine from the sound of the voice.

The hand around Zeno's neck tightened, but he endured it, he was a fighter.

Judging by his attacker's looks and actions of confidence, this was his boss.

~~~

After losing his parents and being faced with an unbelievable medical bill, Zeno Evander finds himself working as a Manny for a mysterious Billionaire, but it doesn't last long; after almost being killed by the Mafia billionaire, Zeno swore never to return to that place again.

But after a week of escaping the Mafia billionaire, Zeno finds himself kidnapped and Blackmailed into signing a year's contract as the Mafia's Manny and bodyguard.

Could Zeno escape his evil and monstrous boss? Or would he be consumed by him? Consumed by the forbidden passion he felt build up between them? Would he risk his life just to experience the burn of forbidden love?

After the betrayal from his family, ex-wife, and friend five years ago, Sebastian Orion became a totally different being.

He became cold, aloof, and dangerous as he rose to become the most feared Mafia king of the underworld, and everyone who heard his name shivered from fear.

He distrusted everyone and hated any form of human relationships, building a thick wall around himself.

But, not until his son's manny came into the picture.

Zeno irritated him in every way, he hated the mere sight of his bodyguard and would have chosen to kill him if not for the sake of his son.

Sebastian always tried to push Zeno away by treating him in the lowest way possible. 

But when the contract was coming to an end, were his feelings still the same? Or did he suddenly realize that it wasn't only his son that needed Zeno?

~~~

"What are you waiting for? Leave!" Sebastian snarled bitterly.

He would have to speak with Butler Nicole to find out why he brought back this stupid clown to his house.

He had just returned from yet another trip, just to find this nuisance in his house again.

He hated Zeno so much; he was classless and looked extremely dangerous to be near his son; who knew if he was sent as a snitch by an enemy?

"I'm sorry, boss, but I can't," Zeno said and stood his ground.

Leaving would mean he wanted his Nana to die; no, he'd rather stay here and take all punches that came his way; he was used to it.

"What?!" Sebastian couldn't believe that such stupid people were still existing in the world.

"I can't leave," Zeno repeated.

Billionaire Mafia's Manny

Zeno sat on a chair; everyone was chatting and eating beside him,, but his food remained untouched.

He had his eyes on Sebastian, who was fitted at the end of the table with Sakura beside him, saying something to him.

She had immediately come and dragged him away when they came down into the garden.

It was almost like she was silently staking her claim; it didn't look like she'd be needing his help anymore; she was quite good at it...at stealing people's man.

"Hey," Jasper gently tapped Zeno's leg beneath the table.

Zeno blinked, removing his eyes from Sebastian and Sakura. "Hey, Jasper, enjoying the food here?" He questioned, managing to give a relaxed smile.

Jasper nodded, "I am...I can't say the same for you, though; you've barely touched your food. Everything alright?" He spotted his chair closer to Zeno and leaned his body toward him.

Zeno tapped his legs beneath the table, racking his brain for what to say.
