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 34: ANGER
AUSTIN'S POV "Is he the friend you talked about?" One of the policemen asked. "Yes. He is. He was the one in danger. Those jerks wanted to kill him." Adrian explained to them. "Oh! But... I sent you a message that we arrested the gunmen about ten minutes ago, why didn't you come out since then and why were you holding a knife?" One of the policemen asked again and my eyes twitched. "Yes... I thought One of them might be lurking around so I wanted to protect my friend." He replied and the policemen all nodded their heads. "That was brave of you." They said and walked toward me. "Are you alright? Hope you weren't injured?" A man walked over and asked. I looked at all of them as if I was watching a movie. It was hard for me to believe what was going on, it was so hard to believe that I had been tricked by Adrian and he had used my weakness against me just like that!I made my way toward him and stood in front of him "Tell me what I'm thinking right now is not correct. Tell me it's
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 35: CRAZY
ADRIAN'S POV Nothing had been more complicated than what I did today before in my life and I had no idea how that would affect my relationship with Austin from then on. I knew he hated me more after what I did but for forced me to. After he called me and asked us to meet at the Cafe, I told my friends and they were all excited for me, thinking he wanted to ask me out and finally ask me to explain what happened back then so we could clear the air and be together but not only did he not want to hear anything, he even humiliated me and made me feel like trash. When I ran away, I wanted to escape alone but I lost my mind the moment I realized he was in danger and the only thing on my mind was how to get him out which was why I opened the door, dragged him in and closed it back. I led him into the underground building to help him escape only to find out that he already knew I liked him and he was going to continue using that against me, playing me like I was a toy.If I wanted to win h
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 36: A NAME
ADRIAN'S POV I walked over to a seat and sat down, their eyes following me like they were some paparazzi but I had seen a lot for the day and their looks had nothing on me anymore. "What's surprising me more than anything is those gunmen that came for him. What did he do? I've known him for years now and I know he is not the type to look for trouble. The only enemy he has is me so who could have sent those leeches to him?" I requested an answer even though I knew no one would give me a reply. "You shouldn't be here asking us, if you want to know, you should go to the station to ask them," Kun said and I nodded. "Yeah, I should do that," I replied and stood up. I was about to leave the room when Knight dragged me back and made me sit again. "Tell us, how did he react when you made him do that? Was he very angry?" Knight asked and I let out a deep breath. "You want to know?" I asked and they both nodded. "You really want to know?" "Man! Just tell us!" Kun yelled at me and I chuck
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 37: PROVOKED
ADRIAN'S POV"His father's enemy?" Kun asked but I quickly pushed him back because if there was anyone Austin wouldn't want anyone talking about especially when I was around, it would be his father. "Do you know the person that gave you the job?" I asked him and he shook his head. "They've been sending us emails ever since we started working together and the last time I asked to see them, they promised to show up after I've killed Austin Brad. We've been working together for five years but we've never met them once." He explained. That wasn't the answer I wanted to hear but I could see the guy wasn't lying. He was telling the truth I could see the fear in his eyes when he was talking to me. I wondered why he was scared of me but that wasn't the problem at the moment as Austin wasn't saying a word and I knew he wasn't himself at all. Even after his father died years ago, there were still people who wanted to kill him for his father's sin. It was more than ten years already!I looke
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 38: PETTY SKILL
ADRIAN'S POV We got home and we all had our baths. "Austin is acting very funny. He looks all innocent, cute and fresh but he is wild for real. The look on his face when he grabbed your clothes earlier was scary... I nearly peed my pants." Kun complained as we all cleaned up in front of the mirror. I chuckled "He was always like that. I remember when we were younger and I got bullied back then. He would always fight for me and warn other kids not to get close to me. He was stronger than me back then and his father was always watching his back, so adults were even scared of him. Our teachers back then would treat him like a jewel because he was very intelligent but he never for once bragged to me about it and he loved me the most. He would give me whatever I wanted even without asking, he knew me best and trusted me with his life..." I stopped there as it was already making me emotional. I hated to think about the past but whenever I saw the hatred in his eyes toward me, I couldn't
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 39: FINDINGS
AUSTIN'S POV I couldn't believe what I agreed to and it was killing me each second that passed. I would become Adrian's plaything. He would toy with me anyhow even after what he did to me back then.My mind was messy and after I heard what the gunmen said, it became messier. I knew I was in trouble because whoever sent them to kill me wouldn't rest until they were able to end my life. I knew they would send more after me and I needed to do something so I wouldn't fall into their hands. When it came to hand-to-hand fights, I believed I had gotten to a stage where there were just a few people who could challenge me but my enemies were no longer permitting hand-to-hand fights, they were using guns and dangerous objects that could kill me without much effort. That night, immediately after a bath, I picked up my phone and started searching online for any gun shooting class that I could enrol in that would help me conquer my enemies. After searching for a while, I finally got one and I

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
