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 40: THE DEAL
AUSTIN'S POV Ending the call, I wished I hadn't said the word in the first place. I could have hired some men online to protect us or called some officers to guard the road while I had the meeting with him in the Cafe, in a bar or even anywhere outside my house but I already made the mistake and changing the term might make him see me as a coward. I packed the notes on my bed and laid the bed properly before relaxing again. I called some maids into the room later "Make sure none of you stays around in the next two hours, okay?" I gave them an instruction and they quickly went ahead. I knew Adrian would come around in an hour or 30 minutes and he would spend at least 30 minutes around. I didn't want the maids seeing him at all as it was giving me creeps just thinking about what would happen if they heard what we wanted to talk about. I stayed patiently in my room, waiting for him until I heard a knock on the door. "Who is that?" I asked. "It's me, Young Master." I heard one of the
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 41: THE DEAL 2
AUSTIN'S POV "So, I won't advise us to make the mistake of getting a paper for this as it might later put us in trouble." He explained further and my head banged. "You know it could put us in trouble so why do you still want to do it? Why?" I questioned him and he smirked. "That's because it's fun." He replied. His reply made me angrier and it was like he intentionally came to my place that evening to provoke me. "I'm sure you remember me saying that this room is soundproof. They won't hear us from outside no matter how loud you scream..." I reminded in a low tone and he pursed his lips. "Okay, okay. I won't provoke you anymore. Let's just get to the point." He said as he brought out his laptop. "Tell me your rules and I will tell you mine." He said and I frowned. "Didn't you say we won't use paper? Why are you bringing out your laptop again?" I demanded. "Oh! I just want us to remember everything we want and immediately we are done, I will delete it all." He replied and I nod
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 42: THE TRAINING
AUSTIN'S POV As much as I wanted to believe that things would still be alright, it was hard to think it would, because Adrian was making life hell for me. How I wish I hadn't created a medium for him to make this come to pass... It hurt to think that I was at his mercy and he could do with me whatever he wanted without my consent. I hated him more, and the urge to kill him increased but more than that, I wondered why he was doing all this to me. "Why? Why are you doing this to me?" With the anger rising in me, I tried to control my tone as I asked him the question that had been troubling me for a while. He stood up from his seat and took a step back "Remember the rule, you can touch me... You can't beat me, Austin!" He shouted like the coward that he was. I frowned. "Who said I wanted to beat you? I would be dirtying my hand by using it to touch or beat you, don't you think?" I asked angrily. He smirked, shaking his head as he returned to his seat and sat down "I guess so. Touc
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 43: AN INVITATION
AUSTIN'S POV"It's nice meeting you too, Jason" I replied half-heartedly.Truth be told, I wasn't okay with the sudden familiarity he was trying to pull with me and the smile on his face was something I wasn't appreciating either but I couldn't just wipe the smile off at that moment now, can I?He smiled more as he grabbed my hand and turned around. Without waiting for me to say anything or even ask me if I would be happy to go with him, he dragged me inside the stadium and only stopped when we reached a place where many people were shooting guns.The shooting range was wider than I expected and there were a lot of people there, learning to shoot, teaching and even chatting leisurely.Jason stared at them for a while before he shook his head and turned "Let's go to my personal space. We will be freer there." He said to me before practically dragging me there again.His attitude was strange, to say the least. He was treating me as if I was his younger brother and it was annoying me but
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 44: TRAINING
ADRIAN'S POVAfter searching for so long, I finally found a place to learn how to fight without alerting Austin at all. The last thing I wanted was to let him know I had feelings for him and I would do anything and everything to keep that hidden forever."I can start today, right?" I asked the man after paying all the necessary fees."Yes. It is quite strange though. You want to learn taekwondo, Karate, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai and Judo at the same time?" The man asked with amusement on his face and I nodded as it wasn't funny to me at all.This was something I needed to learn and I must be fast with it~"Yes. I need to learn them all so I can start helping him as fast as possible. I can't let them kill him now, can I?" I mumbled and let out a deep breath."Excuse me? What did you say?""What?" I looked at the man and quickly waved my hand. "Oh! I was just talking to myself." I replied and stood up. "I would like to start right away." To me, each second spent talking was a waste
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 45: TUTOR
KELVIN'S POV"Should I drop you home?" Austin asked as usual and I shook my head. "I won't be going home today. I just got a part-time job as a home tutor." I explained, earning a confused look from two friends. "Part-time work? When did you become so broke that you needed to work part-time to get some money? Why didn't you tell us anything?" Tine was annoyed. He was staring at me impatiently, and I knew he was ready to throw a punch or two if my reply wasn't correct. After Austin told us about his ordeal with Adrian, we were angry about it for a while because Austin kept it away from us for several days while we were worried about him and since then, we all promised each other never to keep secrets anymore. The day Tine hung out with a girl without telling any of us, I was the first to punch his chest and since then, I knew he had been waiting for me to screw up so he could pay me back tenfold. I took a step back and forced a smile. "I'm not broke, guys. My family's business is g
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 46: TUTOR 2
KELVIN'S POV I couldn't believe my eyes. I kept staring at him as if I was seeing a ghost and he wasn't faring better either. He was staring at me with shock and disbelief in his eyes and after a while, he stood up and looked around the room. It was as if he was trying to confirm if he was in the right house or not before he said anything. I opened my mouth to question his presence in the room when someone suddenly cleared their throat and I turned around to see who it was only to find out that it was that woman... The student's mother. "Kelvin, right?" She asked and it took me a few seconds to nod my head as I was still very angry. Why on earth would she put Knight and I in the same room? His presence alone was polluting my mood and it was suffocating! The urge to turn around and leave the room was huge at that moment but I had to refrain myself as it would be silly to walk out just because of someone like Knight. Judging by what the old man who brought me in said earlier, he w

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
