LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 26: REVEALED
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 27: A CALL FROM HIM
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 28: WORRIED
AUSTIN'S POVI got out of bed and the first thing I did was look for Adrian but he was nowhere to be found in the room. I remembered everything that happened between us and the fact that I literally forced him into it so I wasn't angry at him at all. If there was someone I hated for the situation, it would be those fuckers that kidnapped me and brought me to that place. I put on my clothes and walked out of the room to check if he was in his room but to my surprise, he wasn't there either and when I was just about to call him, I saw the woman that brought us to the room last night. "Ma'am, did you see that guy?" I asked her directly. She looked at me for a moment before she smiled "You mean your friend?" She asked back and I rolled my eyes. "Not my friend. The guy I came with last night." I hated to call him my friend after what he did to my family and seeing someone call him my friend annoyed me to the core. The woman frowned "If he isn't your friend. Is he your boyfriend then?
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 29: ANGER
AUSTIN'S POV "You should probably check your pocket very well or something. Wait, did those kidnappers take your phone?" The head of maids asked worriedly but I shook my head. I didn't think they would do such a thing. They looked rich enough to me and they weren't people who would take others phones. All they wanted was my money, they weren't even bothered about my background or anything else. "I should check where I spent the night maybe it would be there. Get someone to prepare another car for me, I need to change these clothes." I ordered before leaving for my room. Later, I went back to the inn where I saw my phone on the bed and we went from there to pick up my car before we returned home. On the way, I placed a call to Adrian, informing him that we needed to meet later in the evening and he agreed without questions. "Would you like to eat now?" One of the maids asked and I shook my head. Even though I was trying to pretend like I was alright, I knew I wasn't and food was
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 30: GUNSHOT
AUSTIN'S POV I jolted up from my seat and looked at him. When I saw him standing up, ready to leave, I was very happy as that was what I wanted him to do but hearing that gunshot, my heart jumped and the first thing I did was drag him back. "Austin! I know you're in there!" I suddenly heard a voice and I frowned. Was that my Austin or was it someone else bearing Austin?"Did you hear that?" Adrian asked and I nodded. "Yeah, but I don't think it's my Austin. How would I know people who use guns?" I asked Adrian coldly. How could he ask me that? It seemed he really wanted me to die!He shook his head "No matter what, you need to hide right now. We can't say if it's you or not." He advised, holding my hand but I threw his hand away and pushed him out of my way. "It can't be me!" I yelled at him. All my life, I had been living quietly with only two aims and that was to avenge my father's death on Adrian and to make my mother happy again. So, how on earth would I have gotten involved
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 31: CONFUSION AND FEAR
AUSTIN'S POVI had no idea who was dragging me but I knew I had to follow the person. I found it hard to open my eyes as the fear in my heart was so huge, it was blinding. "Run! Run faster, Austin!" I heard a familiar voice in front of me and my face scrunched up. Adrian? I quickly opened my eyes and that was when I saw that we were in a room and he was already running in a direction "Will you continue waiting there until they break down the door and get to you? Are you really okay with dying here?" He asked me angrily as he glared at me. I was confused, I had no idea what was going on but before I could think about anything more, I heard the door cracking and I knew right then that the door would soon be broken. I quickly composed myself and ran toward Adrian "Where are we going?" I asked him quietly. "While I was here earlier, I tried looking for where I could escape from and that was when I found out about the underground building here. We just need to push away this thing a
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 32: A THREAT
AUSTIN'S POV Adrian pushed me away and held his lips "What was that?" He asked angrily. The look on his face was as if he was ready to give me a hard punch in the face. I smirked and pulled back, truth be told, I had no idea why I kissed him either and I knew I still had to think about the reason later but right then, there was something I needed to do. "I kissed you. Didn't you want it too? Why did you respond to the kiss if you didn't want it?" I asked him and he snorted. "You think I want you?" He asked with a mocking voice and I raised my brows. "Yes, You do," I replied arrogantly. "You wish. The first time we had something, it was you who instigated it. You forced me to your bed, Austin. The second time? You forced me again and you think I want you? Why would I?!" He yelled aggressively. I stared at his face for a few seconds and an evil smile appeared on my face "Let's see you pretend again after this." I provoked as I grabbed his collar and pulled him in. I looked at h
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 33: UNEXPECTED THREAT
AUSTIN'S POV I couldn't believe my ears even when he was done saying the rubbish he just said. I looked at him without saying a single word for a while and I started laughing. "Wait, are you planning to become a comedian? What was that?" I asked, still laughing. "I don't know if you've forgotten or not but you and I are not friends and we never will. So, stop this silly prank and close that door before those men get here." I urged him desperately while also making sure he never found out the desperation in me. I was scared, so scared out of my wit but more than that, I needed to make him close the door because I knew the gunmen might have heard him when he shouted earlier and they might be on their way to us already. "What? Comedian? Let's see if you're right or wrong." He said as he took a few steps out of the room. "Hello! Austin Brad is here!!! Austin Brad is here!!!" He started shouting without stopping and my heart nearly stopped. I ran toward him but he held the knives out

LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 74: CUTE?
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 73: I WILL KILL HIM
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 72: ANGER
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 71: PRESSURE
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 70: BIRTHDAY PARTY
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!" The sound of my name being called bro
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 69: HIS POWER
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 68: PROTECT MY MAN
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 67: FIERCE
KELVIN'S POV"Son, You know Dad and I are always here for you, right?""I know, Mum and I love you guys too," I blew a kiss at the screen and waved to my mother. "I have to go now, Mum. 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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 66: JEALOUS
ADRIAN'S POVI bit my tongue and stepped out of the car, I had to do that so I wouldn't curse him out for running off and leaving me behind like that.I made my way into the building, following the people that were going in."Adrian!"I heard my name being called and turned around to see Jason standing not far away from me. He walked over to me with a smile on his sinfully handsome face which always asked for a punch.The only person who could beat Jason in terms of good looks was Austin!Darn it!I felt the urge to slash that face right now!"Adrian, What's up? What are you doing here?" He asked, his voice was soft and welcoming, adding to my anger.I sucked in a deep breath and pocketed my hands "Oh, I'm here to meet Austin," I replied. "We came together but he had to leave first because I was doing something," Call me childish but Austin had to be mine!I needed to make Jason realize that he had no chance with Austin ~Jason raised a brow as he nodded his head "Really? Is he here f
