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

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

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

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
Last Updated : 2024-04-24LOVE 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
Last Updated : 2024-04-25LOVE 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
Last Updated : 2024-04-26LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 47: AUDITION
AUSTIN'S POVMy friends had been busy with their new jobs, Kelvin wouldn't stop complaining about how he hated being around Knight which was understandable as I would have hated to work alongside someone like Adrian too.Tine on the other hand was yet to get a nice job but he had been helping some friends on how to drive and he claimed to enjoy driving. He also told us he might take a jobteaching people how to drive which I knew would be nice as something of such would suit him well."Hey, When is the audition?" Sulking Kelvin questioned with his hands on his lap.He had remained frustrated since he started working a week ago but neither Tine nor I had a way of helping him. I even advised him to stop working but he claimed that wouldn't be possible because he had a crush on Abby, Knight's little sister.He showed us the picture and we all agreed that the girl was cute but would that really be possible? The only way he would ever have a chance with the girl would be to make up with Kni
Last Updated : 2024-04-26LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 48: WAR
AUSTIN'S POV My thought was to visit Jason in his room, talk with him and ask if my friends could enter but to my surprise, I met Adrian in the room, laughing and chatting with Jason and one other guy. I cleared my throat as I entered the room. Even though I was shocked, it was only for a moment as I didn't want Adrian mocking me. "Hey, Austin!" Jason called cheerfully as he stood up and walked up to me. He hugged me, patting my back gently before he let go. "I've been waiting for you. I'm glad you're here." His accent was thick and his tone was pleasant. I forced a smile and nodded my head. "Yeah. I told you I would." I replied and walked passed him. I walked up to the man sitting beside Adrian and smiled "Hello? My name is Austin." I greeted politely and the man immediately stood up. He took my hand in his, smiling away "I'm John, Nice meeting you, Austin!" He said excitedly. "Jason said so much about you that I was curious to meet you as fast as possible. I'm glad to finally s

LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 84: A POTENTIAL RIVAL
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 83: DREAMLAND
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 82: EMERGENCY CALL
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 81
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 80
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 79: ISSUE AT WORK
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 78: SAD ADRIAN
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 77: SORTING THINGS
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
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 76: DAYS WITHOUT HIM
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
