LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 54: LETTER
AUSTIN'S POVTwo months later.Adrian and I continued our weekly lovemaking, sealing our deal. At first, I hated it and it made me hate him more but as time went on, I no longer felt the anger anymore... Sadly, I at times waited impatiently for that day.Tine continued acting strange, always fighting with Adrian's friends while telling me to stay away from Adrian. He would sometimes waylay them to beat them up with other guys. So many times, I would want to chastise him but I wouldn't be able to... It was complicated. I feared that if I defended Adrian and his friends, They might find out about my feelings toward him and that was something I wasn't ready to deal with.It was my father's death anniversary and like every year, I needed to visit him but I was just too scared to do that. I had betrayed him and disappointed him by having things to do with the person who killed him. I was even developing feelings for that kind of person.I was supposed to bring his killer to justice but not
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 55: ANNIVERSARY
AUSTIN'S POV After a while, I stood up from the bed and entered the bathroom. No matter how much I felt sad and guilty toward my father, I knew I had to visit him as he would be lonely without me. I could get there and ask for his forgiveness while also letting him know that I would discard any silly feelings toward Adrian, his killer. He loved Adrian so much when he was alive so he might not be too angry with me. I took a bath and returned to my room where I wore black trousers and a shirt, keeping my gun on my waist. According to Jason, I shouldn't go anywhere without my licensed gun especially when I had been receiving threat letters for days already. I got the first one in training and the one who read it was Jason, I got the second one in school and the third one was received today. I wondered who the coward was but it didn't matter. If they happen to show up in front of me, I wouldn't hesitate to put an end to their miserable lives and make them pay for trying to bully me wi
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 56: THE PAST
AUSTIN'S POV"What do you have to say? How dare you talk about that day again, Adrian?" I asked him, disappointment obvious in my tone. "Do you know what my only regret is?" I asked but didn't wait for him to reply. "It's that I didn't hand you over to those policemen then and that I didn't tell my mother or anyone about what you did to my father!' I yelled, grabbing his clothes."Do you even know why I did that?" A bitter smile lingered on my lips. "It's because..." I stopped and laughed bitterly, tears rolling down my eyes "Even though I saw you killing my father, I still saw you as a friend. I still wanted to protect my only friend and even though I knew my father would hate me for it, I chose you over my father, Adrian!" I yelled, pushing him away.I staggered backwards as more tears rolled down my eyes. I had been finding it difficult to accept that word since I lost my father. I couldn't believe that I really chose Adrian over my father as it was the silliest thing a kid could h
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 57: HOSPITAL
AUSTIN'S POV When I opened my eyes, my head was bandaged and I was lying in bed in a hospital! I looked around with surprise written on my face. Why am I here?The last thing I remembered was driving and then... Everything went blank. Did I hit someone? I clearly didn't. Did I crash my car? Maybe that was the case~I was still deep in thought when I heard the door open and a doctor came in, accompanied by Adrian. I stared at Adrian for a while, my mind messy and my heart ached. His hands were stained with blood which I knew was mine. "You saved me?" I asked softly and he nodded. The doctor finally got to my side and checked me "I'm glad you are up, Austin. You were almost..." He stopped and let out a deep breath "I've never seen anyone who would happily embrace death like you before. It was like you had no will to live anymore and no matter how hard we tried to wake up, you refused to wake up." The doctor seemed frustrated as he scolded me. of course, after what happened then, I
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 58: HOSPITAL 2
ADRIAN'S POV The word regret was an understatement. I decided to help Austin live right after the death of his father but never did he imagine that he only worsened the case. All over the years, he had been hurting, crying and feeling bitter but he thought he had made the right choice, in as much Austin could be happy. Each time Austin fought with him or talked to him harshly, his heart would ache but there was always a part of him that would always commend him for a job well done until he saw Austin in the bar alone that night. While he was taking him home, a tear suddenly ran down Austin's face and he was surprised to see that so he asked. "Are you okay?" Austin looked at him and smiled bitterly "I just miss my old friend. How I wish life wasn't so cruel on us like this." He mumbled and closed his eyes as another tear rolled down. "You see, I wished I could turn back the hands of time and stop that incident from happening. If only I hadn't gone inside to write my assignment that
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 59: SOULMATE
ADRIAN'S POV I raised a brow as I sat up and only then did Austin rubbed his face and sighed. "What is it? Why are you so sad? Why are you not sleeping?"Before I slept off, I could remember seeing him close his eyes as if he was going to sleep too and I thought he would so why was he awake?He smiled at me, the smile was bright but it was obvious it wasn't a happy one. "Adrian," he called calmly and I replied by raising a brow. "I'm sorry." He mumbled, causing me to raise a brow. "You're sorry?" I knew he was talking about what happened to us and he was starting to blame himself for it. I hated something like this and Austin blaming himself, I hated it more. I shook my head "Please, stop. This wasn't your fault, it was purely mine. I was childish back then, thinking I could make things better by sacrificing myself and not thinking far ahead. I'm sorry that I made us lose our childhood. I'm sorry that I parted us with my foolishness and I'm sorry I didn't fulfill my promise of
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 60: AUSTIN'S SADNESS
ADRIAN'S POV"Soulmate?" Kelvin asked with shock written all over his face. Who wouldn't be shocked?I was shocked too and even more so than others because a few hours ago, Austin still hated me with gut and now he called me his soul mate...Tine looked at me and his eyes glint with coldness before he turned his back and walked toward the door. "Where are you going to?' I was forced to ask as the urgency in his step was concerning.He turned to look at me and the anger on his face increased. "To call the doctor. Something is wrong with Austin." He replied coldly and left the room.I stared at the closed door for a while without saying anything and returned my attention to Austin who was smiling away as if whatever happened had nothing to do with him."Austin, Are you sure you're okay?" Jason was the first to ask as he sat beside Austin. He seemed very worried about him.Austin sighed slowly and closed his eyes for a moment. "As I said earlier, Adrian was my childhood friend and we wer
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 61: EXPLANATION
ADRIAN'S POV"I'm coming. I will be back soon." I told Austin as I made my way out of the room. I knew the ones in the room had a ton of questions to ask from him and he had a lot to explain too.I glanced at him briefly before leaving the room and he nodded his head slightly as if to tell me he was going to be okay.With that in mind, I left the hospital and boarded a cab as soon as I got to the road. Inside the car, I brought out my phone and called Knight."Hey, Man! Where have you been? You promised to meet me at Kun's place yesterday but you never showed up. I called several times and sent a lot of messages. I even went to your place but you weren't there either. Where have you been?" He questioned and I let out a deep breath.I already expected that much from him after I didn't answer their messages and calls for a long while. "I was in the hospital," I replied simply and there was silence for a while."Are... Are you okay?" His tone turned worried and I chuckled."Of course, 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
