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

    ADRIAN'S POV "No, she was shocked and fainted," Jason replied again and I frowned. Why was he the one answering my questions when he wasn't the one being asked? Tsk!"She's fine already but we wanted her to rest more before going home," Austin seemed to have noticed my suffering as he suddenly butted in and stood up. "Do you want to see her?" I stood up too and walked toward the entrance, "Of course. I have to see the lady who is so special to you that you even wanted to exchange your life for hers," I teased and rolled my eyes. Austin shook his head and chuckled but didn't say a word to reply to me. He looked at Jason, who was still sitting, "Can you watch him? I will be back soon," Jason nodded with a smile, "I will," I let out a deep breath and opened the door. The presence of Jason made me feel uncomfortable. Not only was he handsome, but he also knew how to use guns; he was indeed a worthy opponent!"Ah, John called to ask about you. He sounded very worried. You should give

    ADRIAN'S POV While I was about to hit the ground, a hand suddenly grabbed me and pulled me to my feet. "Don't fall; you will get injured," The familiar, sweet, and comforting voice entered my ears, freezing my thoughts. My eyes shifted, and I looked at the figure who was standing beside me. My lips parted and I took in a deep breath. "I must be in a dream right now," I mumbled inwardly. "Why would you do that? Why would you do something so dangerous without even asking for my help?!" "I might be useless to you but I can still take down a few men. Why on earth would you go and rescue someone without thinking about yourself? Is she that important to you?!" "Look at you, right there. You are wrapped up like a mummy, do you think I can survive this? Do you think I can survive it if anything happens to you?! Why, Austin!? Why?!" "You know what? I would rather die than have you leave me in this world. For your information, if anything should happen to you, I will die with you and when

    ADRIAN'S POV "We've picked the four shoes. Can we just leave now? I need to rest my head," I lamented to Kun, who was still excitedly looking around. I couldn't believe a guy would love shopping so much!"No, Adrian. There's a shoe I saw on a Chinese celebrity, and I feel like it will look very good on you; we need to get that." He proposed and I frowned. "A shoe you saw on a Chinese celebrity? Why should I be the one to wear that?" Kun stopped and cocked his head to the side, a smug smile on his face as he stared at me, "Do you still remember that Chinese drama we watched together a few months ago? BEING A HERO?" A smirk formed on his annoying face. "The young male lead was the one who wore the shoes. Do you want it now?" Hearing that, the corner of my eyes lifted and I gently nodded. "I..." I stopped and shrugged. "Let's look for it then. That guy seems to be an awesome fashionable person," I added with a smile and walked ahead of him. The male lead of the drama caught my atte

    ADRIAN'S POV "You should get four different sets of birthday clothes, okay?" Kun said as he dragged me around in the boutique. He already picked more than ten different trousers and shirts, different sets of clothes that he forced me to test. I was tired but at the same time, I didn't want to return home as his disturbance was helping me deal with my inner turmoil. While he was making things difficult for me by not giving me a moment of peace, I was able to stop thinking about Austin, and for the first time in a while, I was even able to smile. "Do you think this is better or is this better?" Kun asked, he had two different colors of shirt in his hands. I looked at the two and sighed. "I wouldn't know. I'm tired already. Can't we just pick one and leave?" I asked, slapping my forehead as I glared at him. "I'm feeling hungry too," That was the truth; I had lost my appetite before now as I was busy thinking about Austin, but after the tedious shopping, I felt like I needed somethin

    AUSTIN'S POV Sensing the looming danger in my life and the lives of everyone around me, I decided to take a preventive measure against any sneak attack from any of the enemies. I had installed a tracker on every of my worker's apps and linked it to the companies' computers. Thanks to that, it would be easier to track Cynthia and rescue her. Standing up, I rushed out of the company and made my way back home. Even if I happened to find out what was happening to Cynthia, I still couldn't save her with my bare hands, so I decided to prepare some things from home. I had just driven into my compound when my phone started ringing. It rang for the first time, ignored as I had to park my car but it started ringing for the second time. I brought out my phone from my bag and checked the screen only to see that it was a new number I had never seen before. I felt suspicious; with the things happening, it would be no surprise if it was a call from the kidnappers, and that was more reason for

    AUSTIN'S POV "I'm leaving," Kelvin mumbled with a smile on his face. "Are you sure you are ready to see him?" I asked, staring at him with a worried expression on my face. Kelvin stopped and sighed, "I shouldn't go but I feel like he's tried enough. He's been sending gifts for the past few days, he's been calling, too, and my phone is filled with his text messages. After listening to you that night, I feel like he might be telling the truth but I'm not sure. I want to see for myself and decide if I should forgive him or not," He explained as he carried his bag properly. "If he's telling the truth, will you date him?" I suddenly asked and his face turned red. He walked toward the door and chuckled, "I can't say. Let's just see how it goes," He whispered and my eyes twitched. "Be fast with it though. My heart itch for Adrian already. He's suffering too much," I laughed and shook my head. Hearing that, Kelvin turned around to look at me and chuckled, "Why are you doing this though

    ADRIAN'S POV I stared at the screen, I'd been waiting for over an hour already and there was still no response, even after I knew he already saw it. I sat in bed and ran my fingers through my hair. It was annoying the way he left me on read and refused to reply to me. I picked up my phone again and sent a message, "This is not fair, Austin. This is not right at all. Knight might be my friend but do I need to pay for what he did? At the same time, he's trying and they are even meeting up today. Why do we still need to continue this?" I sent the text to him while feeling down. I had no idea why Austin was taking it this far and it was slowly getting to me. I was finding it hard to concentrate ~I dropped the phone after a few minutes of waiting for his reply and closed my eyes, wondering what I was supposed to do next. Just when I thought nothing else would disrupt my thought, my phone started ringing and I frowned. I could already guess that it was one of my friends and I wished I

    ADRIAN'S POV "You're finally here!" She greeted me excitedly and hugged me. "It's been a while and you've grown even bigger," "I've missed you so much too, Mum," I replied. We soon broke the hug and she led me to a seat. The women around her quickly dispersed as they had other things to do...They were the maids. "You didn't even tell me before you came. What if I wasn't around?" I asked, staring at her pleased face. She pouted and hit my shoulder, "I wasn't planning to come here. I was on a trip with friends and decided to stop here to celebrate your birthday with you. I wasn't around to celebrate last year's birthday with you and I promised to be there this year," She explained with a sweet smile on her face. I smiled in return and my heart warmed. "I understand, Mum," I replied. We talked a while longer before I turned to return to my room. It was already morning but I still felt sleepy. I was very tired and needed some sleep. Getting to my room, I removed my clothes and f

    ADRIAN'S POV I let out a deep breath and turned to look at Knight, who was sitting on the ground. He was a total mess and his tears wouldn't stop flowing either. He looked extremely pitiful, and somehow, I could understand him. The most painful thing about love is when you hurt the person you love the most. I was certain this was the reason Knight felt so miserable. He would have never expected that his action would cause Kelvin so much pain~I crunched down and helped him up, "It's okay, Knight. It's going to be fine," I tried to console him. "You heard what he said. Do you think you are ready to sort this issue? Are you certain you can do it?" I asked after helping him into his room. Knight wiped his tears and nodded his head, "I will do whatever it takes to settle this issue. Aside from the problem I will be putting my family in, the thought of Kelvin suffering because of me is enough to give me the courage to do this. I hate this, Adrian. I hate that he's in so much pain beca
