ADRIAN'S POV

Leaving his house, I made a call to my friends, telling them to meet me at our usual bar as I needed something to help clear my mind.

I felt like I was losing my mind, hearing that he was going to leave the school because of me was painful and it made me want to do something to stop him but the only thing I could do was choose to leave the school for him so he would stay back in the school and graduate like he wanted to.

I continued walking down the streets aimlessly until my phone started ringing. I brought out my phone to check who it was and I found out it was Knight.

"Man, where are you? We are at the bar already waiting for you." He said and my eyes widened.

I had forgotten that I had to be in the bar and I could only let out a deep breath "I'm sorry. I will leave now and meet you there in five." I said to him before ending the call.

Right then, I stopped a cab that took me down to the bar and I saw my friends waiting in front of the bar for me.

    ADRIAN'S POV My eyes widened as I quickly turned to face Austin only to see that he wasn't bothered at all. He was only staring at the ground without saying a word. "What is this? Why isn't he clearing himself?" I heard Knight ask behind me and I nodded. "Tell me more, why isn't he clearing himself when it has got to this?" I asked back. "What are you talking about? I asked why you ain't clearing yourself when he was the one who threw the punch first and you never retaliated. You could have beaten him back but you didn't, wasn't it because of this?" Kun asked as he moved closer to me... He was whispering though, low enough for me to hear and not others. I let out a deep breath "I misunderstood you guys. There is no way I can do that because the whole thing is my fault to begin with." I replied and they frowned. "What are you guys doing? I just said you should explain what happened a few days ago. Won't you talk?" The professor asked angrily when he realized that none of us were

    AUSTIN'S POV I wasn't expecting Adrian to say that to the professor at all. After he last yesterday, Kelvin, Tine and I thought about what he said and we all concluded that he was only blowing fables. He just wanted to say something to make him feel like he was a good person and I, more than anyone else knew that he was the worst person on earth. Adrian was someone I would stop at nothing to kill as I knew and was certain that he was the kind of person that didn't deserve to be on this earth. After what he did to me, the memories of the day I saw him stab my father kept replaying in my head, the look on his face that day, the stain on his clothes and the bloody knife he held in his hand. I mean, this guy was my best friend. He was someone I did practically everything with and someone who would always act as if he loved me the most on this earth. That day remained the saddest day of my life and I knew it would never change. That day, I lost not only my father but also my favourit

    AUSTIN'S POV "What do you think you are doing? I'm a guy!" I yelled at them as I tried to free myself. I needed to get away from them as fast as possible. They both laughed as they watched me struggle "So what? You are a guy but you are handsome. It's not a waste to have you now and have that bitch later, is it?" The second man asked as he moved closer to me. "It is. It's a waste. I'm a girl lover. I'm straight!" I yelled again, hoping someone would hear my cries even though it seemed unlikely as they looked like someone who wouldn't leave any trace behind."We are too. We do girls but when an opportunity like this comes up, we don't waste it either." The second man said again as he grabbed my chin and lifted my face so I could look at his face. "You look good." He complimented me as he brought his face closer to mine and before I could say anything, he planted a kiss on my forehead. My body shook violently and the urge to kill overwhelmed me. The fact that he kissed my forehead

    AUSTIN'S POV"Aphrodisiac perfume?" I asked them with confusion on my face as I was slowly starting to feel hot too. The fat man nodded. "A strong one at that. We wanted to make that bitch lose her mind so she would crave for us and to do that, we wanted to be careful which was why we made it as a perfume. Now..." The fat man explained, he seemed troubled too. But more than that, I was feeling messed up and scared. I thought I was going to be free when I saw them being convinced by me but it seemed luck wasn't on my side at all. I turned to face the hot man who seemed to be slowly losing his mind and I let out a deep breath "We need to quickly do something about this. Free me so I can do something for you!" I said hastily, intentionally trying to make them feel like I cared about them. The short man turned to look at the fat man who seemed to be confused as well. "I should free you?" The short man asked. I nodded "You need to be fast. I'm feeling hot too so let's quickly leave he

    AUSTIN'S POV "Two rooms?" The woman asked as he looked at me with a look that made me want to cover my face. It seemed she sensed that something was wrong. Adrian quickly pulled me to the back "He is drunk." He lied to the woman who immediately smiled and nodded her head. "Oh, okay. Come with me then." She said as she picked up two keys from her desk and led the way while we followed behind her. She took us to an apartment where she opened the first door to show us the room. The room was small but neat and cosy. "I will take this one," I said to her and she nodded. She took us to the next one that was just the same as the first one with the only difference being the design but that wasn't my business. "You are taking this, right?" I asked Adrian who nodded his head. "I'm glad you like the two rooms. Many customers would want us to show them all our rooms before they pick one." She complimented as she handed the keys over to us and Adrian paid her for the rooms. "Have a nice nig

    ADRIAN'S POV I was bothered and scared about the whole thing but I couldn't stop him for the fear that he would be mad at me again. I knew he needed help and he was going to be affected if I didn't help him which was why I decided to do that with him. However, The fear of what would happen if he woke up later in the morning and remembered what we did was eating me up, making me restless. We did it for hours and by the time we were done, He entered the bathroom to take his bath. "You should take your bath too and let's sleep. We will talk tomorrow." He said as he walked over to the mirror to clean up and wear his clothes. I nodded as I stood up too. I was being silent which was unusual of me but that was only because I had no idea how to act. I was confused, the whole thing was looking unreal to me like it was a dream I would soon wake up from but the fear was just too much for me to handle. I knew without doubt that he would hate me again the next day and might even try to beat m

    ADRIAN'S POV "What was that? You looked so scared and... wait, weren't you already planning to leave by the time we left you last night? You already entered your car and drove off..." Kun questioned. "I saw something unpleasant so I had no choice but to return to make things right. I should have called any of you but..." I began. "I don't know... It's just there." I added before lowering my head. "Can you head to a bar? I need to take a drink or two." I pleaded. Knight and Kun shared a glance but soon nodded "Okay. Let's go to the nearest club here." They said as they increased the speed. I knew they were very bothered about me and would love to hear what happened last night... I would have loved to tell them too but it was just too much. I found it so hard to open up to anyone about it even though I was scared that I might lose my mind if I went further than this. The whole thing was worrying for me and I needed someone to advise me about the issue. The drive to the bar was fas

    ADRIAN'S POVI wished it ended like that, probably I wouldn't be so bothered right now but it didn't and now, I felt like I was in bigger trouble. "If you really decided to leave the school that way, it will affect you a lot. Is that why you are bothered?" Knight asked and I shook my head. "Then, what's it that's bothering you?" He questioned. "Something else happened last night..." I replied and their eyes widened. "What again? Did you or him get drunk again?" Kun asked. "I was driving home last night when I saw someone dragging Austin to a car. The way he was, it was obvious he wasn't conscious so I decided to follow them and see what they were up to. They suddenly came out of their car and carried him toward an area, I did the same and followed them but the men were discreet, causing me to lose them along the way. I tried to find them but they were nowhere to be found and I couldn't just leave Austin that way... I continued searching for hours until I forgot my way back to my

    AUSTIN'S POV "Will you continue pretending? It doesn't cost me anything to destroy you, you know? With a phone call, your entire family will be eradicated from this country without a trace, you know, right?" I asked, my eyes piercing through her. What was she thinking in her bony head? Did she expect me to believe her just because she was acting cute? Sincerely, her actions only irritated me more...For someone who was tricky and filled with dirty thoughts like her, she would never gain my sympathy. This wasn't even about her age. She clocked 19 today, which meant she was an adult already. So, she should know what was wrong and right. She staggered backward, and her face turned pale. She looked at me with fear in her eyes, "I will tell you the truth," Her voice was low and cracked. I crossed my arms and glared at her, "Go on," I ordered. She swallowed and lowered her eyes, "My friends have always been talking about how fun sex is. They would talk about their boyfriends and how t

    AUSTIN'S POV I helped him to the car and we drove home. Getting home, five maids were waiting anxiously at the door, surprising me. "What are you doing here?" I asked, staring at the maids. The maids looked at us and bowed their heads, "Young Master, you rushed out of the house without saying a word to anyone. We thought something had happened and were anxious," one of them replied. Hearing that, I rolled my eyes and walked past them. As much as I wanted to tell them, it was alright, my anger was higher, and I couldn't bear to talk nicely to anyone. I entered the house and led Kelvin to my room. "You should relax here," I told him. He looked shaken, but fortunately, he was no longer crying. He nodded and picked up a towel before heading toward the bathroom. While he was in the bathroom, I quickly picked up my phone to check Knight's house. Not long after, Kelvin returned from the bathroom. I had already prepared casual wear for him, which he put on and lay in bed. "I should fee

    AUSTIN'S POVLaying in bed, my mind was filled with the thought of what to give Adrian on his birthday. He would be having his 21st birthday in a few days, and I had nothing in mind yet. I could have asked my friends, but then, none of them knew Adrian as much as I did, and I knew he would prefer something that showed how much I cared about him. Yet, that was the problem I had at the moment. Preparing a gift for him wasn't difficult, but showing how much I cared was the issue. If I were to measure how much I love and care about him, buying him the world wouldn't even be enough!I rubbed my hair and rolled around in bed. It was my first time facing so much trouble because of birthday gifts~I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes. Ticket to an exclusive novice cinema?A set of newly released sneakers?A trip?Group vacation?Identical robot?There were so many suggestions, but none of them looked good enough, and it troubled me. Buying something for Adrian looked like he was so rich

    KNIGHT'S POV "Yes, it's me," I replied, staring into his eyes. Truthfully, this felt like a dream to me, too. I never expected this sort of situation to come up, and even though I've dreamt about it so many times, I'd never held hope that my dream would one day come to reality. Yes, I'd been dreaming of being together with Kelvin for a very long time. It wasn't love at first sight. It was more like love amidst hate.My heart started beating for him when Austin and Adrian were kidnapped. I and Kun were very worried about Adrian, and so were Austin's two friends, Kelvin and Tine. While Tine was able to stay strong despite the fear and worry, Kelvin was unable to. I caught him crying in the school's bathroom so many times, and there were times he would place his head on his desk and start crying. He was vulnerable, and even though I knew I was vulnerable too, I still felt the urge to wipe his fear and comfort him. I would think of him every night after that. I would see myself comfo

    KELVIN'S POVThe day of the party finally came, and here I was, sitting alone amidst strangers. Tine and Austin refused to come with me, and according to them, they had too many assignments to do. It was still acceptable that Austin had a lot to do. Apart from his father's companies, he still had his modeling job and his shooting training. He had so much to do that I felt bad for him and didn't even try to convince him to come with me, but what about that useless Tine that had nothing to do? That punk literally sleeps all day!Yet, he told me he had somewhere to go with Austin and refused to come with me. Wait, there must be something wrong with him these days. I knew he was always attached to Austin and would rarely leave his side, but that was getting too much these days. Could it be that the two are planning something that I had no idea about?Or could something be wrong with Austin?The thought of that made me scared and worried~ "Kelvin!"

    TINE'S POVI immediately drove down to Austin's house, and as expected, I saw them playing a video game. I knew that was what they would be playing as it was one of Austin's favorites, but I was still very bothered. "Tine, you're here," Austin only looked at me briefly as he said. He was busy playing, and the urge to not lose could be seen in him.I nodded and walked over, sitting beside him, "You've won twice," I commented. I'm totally ignoring both Jason and Adrian. None of them was important. Austin smirked, "You should know none of them is as good as me," He boasted, and I laughed. "Can you continue the game for me? I need to check what's on fire," He said. My eyes twitched, "You're cooking?" I was a bit surprised. Austin hated to cook~He shrugged and stood up, "The maids had to clean the family house, and I wanted to entertain my guests. So, I decided to cook," He explained. "I told you I should be the one to do it. You and I know how bad of a cook you are," Adrian butted

    KELVIN'S POVSeeing how angry Knight made me feel like something was wrong with his head. His sister might be cute, she might make me smile at times because... Damn! She's indeed cute ~However, She isn't my type. Yes, Abby isn't my type.Since I've grown enough to fall in love with someone and spend a few years of my life with them, I've grown to have a deep interest in intelligent people. Not just being intelligent but also smart, cool, good-looking, reliable, and most of all... Able to ignite deeper feelings inside me. With all these things, Abby is indeed intelligent (enough for her level), not that smart but manageable, cool but somehow childish, good-looking, let's forget about the reliable part, but she had never ignited any deep feeling inside me before. True, I love seeing her. She was the kind of person who always put a smile on my face whenever I saw her, but that was only because she was adorable. Among all the people I've met, there were indeed intelligent ones that m

I'm already at the house," I told her.Her expression changed a little and the happiness in her eyes dimmed "Son, do you really have to do this? I don't like you working so hard when you are still so young," She tried to persuade. We'd talked about this more than ten times already."I'm not young anymore, Mum. I'm 22 already and I have to work hard. I will start my internship in a few months too, I'm an adult already," I replied and rolled my eyes "Austin is only 21 and he's already working so hard. He's so rich that he could make my dad bow for him, you do remember that I'm still a year older than him, right?" I asked, staring at her.My mother shook her head "You can't compare yourself with Austin, Son..." Her eyes widened and she quickly covered her mouth. "Hey, I didn't mean that, you know?"I stare
