Owned by the Bastard

Chapter 5

Magnus woke up at six in the morning, feeling heavy on his thigh and chest. Nyx's body is clinging to his body like a koala and keeps murmuring but his eyes are closed. He can see the eyeballs are moving, a sign that Nyx is having a bad dream again.

"Nyx...Nyx..." Magnus caresses his cheek to wake him up but to his shock, Nyx is burning hot as hell.

Magnus slowly dismantles Nyx's body from his body and touches his own forehead and compares it to Nyx.

Oh god, why is he having a fever now? If something bad happens to my bunny, I'm going to m******e Fairy's family right now. I told him to bring the skateboard only. That i***t!

Magnus is so restless, he never had this worry-some to someone, especially to a helper.

Wait, what? My bunny? Gosh, Magnus!

Magnus slowly gets off the bed and lets the man hug the bolsters he placed in between his legs and in his arms. He quickly dialed their family doctor to come over this early.

Magnus gets a towel and makes it wet, placing it in a small basin in the bathroom. He quickly brings it to the bedroom and places it on the nightstand. He takes one cold water bottle from the mini-fridge and fills it in the basin.

He starts to pat Nyx's forehead with the wet cold towel and Nyx moans from the sudden touch of the cold towel.

Magnus keeps staring at Nyx's pale face but he can't help to admire his face with almost ethereal beauty.

Magnus subconsciously runs his fingers to Nyx's hair and brushes it a few times. Magnus doesn't know what is going with him. All he knows, he wants to protect and take care of this man on his bed for the rest of his life.

Damn it!

Two days ago, he wanted to kick out his helper so badly, but now, he wants to keep him and doesn't want to let go and hide him forever. Did Nyx use some spell on him? Why does his heart skip beating every time their eyes meet? Why does his heart want to jump out of happiness every time he smiles? Why can he hardly find a reason to fire him?

Magnus can't explain what he is feeling right now. This is the first time he gets confused and doesn't know what to do and can't understand what is happening to him. All he knows, he likes Nyx a lot. He wants to see him every day, every hour, every second from now on. He chuckles at his crazy thoughts and shrugs off.

He wants to pamper him, wants to keep him all by himself. If he can put him in his pocket and carry him anywhere he will go, he did it already. He is just so adorable like a baby. He now understands his father and mumbled.

Is it called love?

"I'm sorry Dad.." Magnus pulled his hair in desperation. Everything he has done from the past to his helpers firebacks him since Nyx stepped foot in his mansion.

Magnus snapped from his thoughts when Nyx moaned as he felt the cold towel on his forehead. Nyx tilts his head and moves his body, his hand lifted trying to reach the towel but a hand stops him. A warm hand caught his hand and pressed it.

"Don't. Let it cool down your fever," Magnus said.

Nyx slowly opens his bleary eyes and he feels dizzy like seeing many stars. The voice is too warm yet so deep as he heard his employer speak.

"Sir...I am....thirsty..." Nyx uttered.

Magnus takes a bottle of water from the drawer beside the mini-fridge. He helped Nyx sit and lean his back on his chest. He opened the bottle of water and let him drink it. Nyx almost finishes the 750 ml bottle of water like he was from the desert.

After drinking, Magnus helps Nyx sit properly and lean his back on the headboard. He placed the soft pillow and Nyx closed his eyes again. Nyx is feeling weak and tired.

For a while, they hear the doorbell sound.

"Don't move too much, I'll just open the door, the doctor is here," Magnus said and left the room.

The doctor checked Nyx's condition. The doctor asked some questions about the food he eats and what happened before he gets sick and discovered that Nyx's fear of dogs was triggered and kept dreaming of it the whole night and made him delirious.

Magnus can't believe that his helper is suffering from Cynophobia. He wonders what awful experience he had with the dog before.

The doctor gave Nyx the prescription of medicine he needs to maintain for three days.

"Don't worry Magnus, he is alright. Do you need to check up too?" The doctor chuckles and pats Magnus's shoulder as he sees how his friend's son worried a lot about his new patient.

"Uncle...stop it..." Magnus pouts and smiles. Doctor Lam has been their family doctor since he was a kid so Dr. Lam is aware of Magnus's s****l orientation from head to foot.

The doctor bid farewell and Magnus went back to the bedroom and freshened up himself. He checks Nyx in the bed and leans closer and leaves a soft kiss on his lips. Magnus smiles crazily as he keeps stealing kisses from his innocent and unaware helper.

It's your fault bunny, you are tempting and you keep sleeping like a frozen log.

Magnus went down to the kitchen and checked the refrigerator to prepare some simple yet special food for breakfast. When cooking, he picks up his key and goes to the nearest pharmacy, and buys the prescribed medicine for his sick bunny.

While driving, he dialed his secretary and informed them to cancel his meetings and appointments. He excitedly drives home and feels nervous as he thinks of something. He is hoping Nyx will like his cooking and wants to hear good feedback.

Magnus, you are doomed and insane. You now want to gain some points from your helper huh... Jeez!

Magnus goes back to the kitchen to check the rice cooker he left earlier.

He washed his hands and prepared the congee on the bowl and placed it properly on the tray carefully.

Magnus cooked the Century Egg and Pork Congee. He is so tense while walking upstairs with the tray of congee. Never in his life, he will do this kind of action doing service to a helper, no, he is not a helper at all.

He is now my secret Big Boss.

Magnus smiles before twisting the doorknob while the other hand is balancing the tray.

Nyx is still sleeping peacefully. Indeed, he was restless last night, which made him tired and weak for not having enough sleep. Magnus thought, maybe he was just barely sleeping when he is rubbing his back when Magnus dozes off. He is not sure if Nyx is in deep sleep.

Magnus takes a deep breath and places the tray on the nightstand and sits on the edge of the bed. He runs his fingers to Nyx's hair to wake him up.

"Nyx...Nyx...it's time for breakfast and you need to eat medicine too.."

Magnus said but feeling nervous and panicking inside.

Nyx moves as he hears his employer. He slowly opened his eyes and Magnus helped him sit on the bed properly. Nyx holds his arms when his eyesight spins.

"Sir...I am..."

Magnus understood he was feeling dizzy. He needs to freshen up Nyx. Magnus decided to bring him to the bathroom.

"Nyx, hold me tight as I count to three okay.." Magnus placed and encircled Nyx's arms to his neck.

Magnus carries Nyx in a bridal style and brings him to the toilet first. He needs to pee or do whatever he needs to do inside the toilet.

While waiting outside, Magnus thought. Did we just get married and my hubby is sick? Magnus chuckles at his silly thoughts.

After a few minutes, Magnus hears the flush from the toilet and composes himself. As the door opens, he quickly hugs Nyx's body and asks.

"Are you okay now?" Nyx just leans his jaw to Magnus's shoulder and just nods continuously.

Magnus carries him again to the bathroom. He helped him freshen up.

"Sir...g-go away...I...I..feel.."

"Ssshhh, it's fine. Whatever is attached to your body, I have also...hmmm?" Magnus whispered to Nyx's ear and grinned. Though Nyx is so dizzy and feels like he was on drugs and drunk from sleep, his mind is opposing.

Nyx pulls away from his face and stares at Magnus with an unsure reaction, with sleepy night owl eyes, Nyx nods after realizing it.

"Pervert...." Nyx pouts after he mumbles and starts to strip his clothes one by one.

"What?"

"Sir, I said, help me..." Nyx teases his employer. Nyx doesn't know why but after he saw his boss grinning, something came to his mind.

Is my employer into men? Why his ear tips are red and his cheeks are blushing. Is he the one who is naked now? It should be me who is feeling embarrassed but why is he blushing so hard? Hmph, good for you!

Since his first night here in this mansion, Nyx noticed his employer's weird reactions every time he looked at him. Nyx feels his employer is into men. The way he looks at his body and stares at him, Nyx can tell he is drooling every time he is half-naked.

Aside from his observation, Nyx remembers that his employer is notorious and loves to fire his helpers. How come he is not doing any actions to fire him?

On his first night, while sleeping on the couch, he wanted to confront his employer for stealing his first kiss, from last night and earlier too. And he doesn't know how many times this pervert man steals kisses from him in the middle of the night every time he will stir in his sleep.

Nyx is not reacting because he has millions of bills to pay and he needs to finish his studies. Is that the main reason or he is just pretending to be asleep because he likes the kiss after all?

Nyx averted his gaze to the flowing water coming from the faucet as he realized his feelings. His heartbeat pounds hard and his breathing becomes heavy.

Lub dub. He can hear his heartbeat literally.

Does he like how his employer treats him right now? Nyx grinned secretly and acted innocently as he continued to strip himself naked.

Yes, he likes it so much that he wanted to play dead and see his employer's reaction.
