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

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
Last Updated : 2024-05-21LOVE 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

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
Last Updated : 2024-06-03LOVE 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'
Last Updated : 2024-06-07LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 62: HIS SMILE
ADRIAN'S POVI rolled my eyes and looked away "You should know it can't be that easy. We were just friends from the beginning so there's no way things can change that fast." I replied and smiled. "Then again, Austin has always been straight," I added bitterly. That was the hardest part of the whole thing, he had always been straight, and making him like me as a guy wouldn't be that easy.Kun clicked his tongue and sneered "So were you but you changed because you liked him." He mocked.I shook my head "That's not right. I've always liked him since when we were young. I just never showed it. I feel like I've always not been sincere with myself about my feelings from the beginning. I never really liked girls." I explained to them as I walked over to a seat and sat down.Kun and Knight walked over and sat too. "That's tough then," Kun mumbled."There's a trouble here though," Knight suddenly said.I raised a brow as I opened my food "What's that?" I inquired. The aroma of the food that en

ADRIAN'S POVI walked closer to him, a playful smile on my lips as I stood in front of Austin. "Do you miss me?" I asked and he chuckled.He looked at my hands and frowned slightly, "You forgot my laptop?" He asked, raising a brow."I'm sorry. I will go back to pick it up when you are done eating. Are you okay with that?""I'm okay. Let's see the food you brought." He smiled and collected the lunch box from me.Austin opened the food and his eyes widened. "Did you cook this?" He asked with disbelief written on his face but I shook my head~"It's the maids," I replied. "Do you want me to make something for you?" I teased and he raised his eyes to look at me.He was silent for a while as he took his first bite, his eyes still on me. "Do you think you can?" He raised a brow in response.I blinked and bit my lower lip, Austin at this moment was looking so enchanting and he made my heart race. His clear eyes seemed to penetrate my heart and his lips kept calling me in.I closed my eyes and
Last Updated : 2024-09-04LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 64: TEMPTATION
ADRIAN'S POV"Take a bath together?" I asked with confusion shown on my face.Austin nodded his head without looking at me. He removed his clothes until he was only left with his boxers before he picked up a towel "You haven't removed your clothes?" He asked with a raised brow and suddenly chuckled "Or are you planning to bathe with your clothes on?" He pointed and started laughing.I was confused, my mind felt a little blank and all I could see was the white flawless body in front of me. Austin was handsome.Damn! He was fucking handsome and hot!His body was like that of a supermodel. He had a face that would make both men and women drool ... He could be described as perfect!My eyes were fixed on his body but I still opened my mouth "I will remove the clothes," I had turned into a robot at that moment.My hands were working faster than my brain!I removed my clothes and placed them on a seat, leaving only shorts on as I walked toward him, still staring at him with a dumb expression

LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 98: [THE END& BEGINNING]
KELVIN'S POV "What do you plan to do for the new year festive? Will you finally propose to Linda?" I asked Tine, who had been on his phone for the past few hours even though we were at a party. "I'm editing the pictures I took of Austin earlier. I need to post them later at night," He replied, still not raising his head. I frowned slightly, "I'm not asking about Austin's picture. Austin has enough workers who help with this. You are not needed. I'm asking about your plan for the new year festive. Will you finally ask Linda out?" I asked again, feeling a little annoyed. Tine finally raised his head and turned off his phone. His eyes wandered around the party, searching for someone - Searching for Austin..."Who is Linda?" He asked coldly. There was not a hint of interest in his tone. My frown deepened. "We both know that girl likes you. Why are you doing this? It's time you give love a chance," I advised, looking at his face. Tine finally turned to look at me, but his eyes weren'
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 97: THE PARTY
ADRIAN'S POV Austin was pleasantly surprised when he saw me, and he took my hand in his. He led me out of the encirclement of his fans and led me to a quiet area. "You came," He whispered, kissing the corner of my lips. I replied with a nod, staring at his face with a frown. "You really have the guts to act like nothing is wrong?" Austin made a confused face and held my hand, "What's it, baby? Have I done something wrong? Tell me, I will make it up to you," He mumbled, pressing in for a kiss that was swiftly avoided. "You shouldn't waste your time with me here. Those babes are waiting for you right there," I pointed to the ladies who were staring at us and crossed my legs, not wanting to pay attention to him. Austin kissed my forehead and gently cupped my face, "You are the only one who deserves my attention, and you know this," He assured me, his voice calm and hypnotizing. I gave him a side glance and pursed my lips, "Really?" "Hey, what are you guys doing here? Everyone is
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 96: KNIGHT'S PARTY
ADRIAN'S POV Within a few hours, I was able to edit the project draft and submit it to my stepfather, who looked at the screen with delight on his face. "This is wonderful. How did you suddenly get the inspiration to finish?" He asked, his face showing his delight. I blushed secretly, unable to tell him how it came to be. "I just suddenly found it easy and did it," I lied through my teeth, smiling sweetly. My stepfather spent a few more minutes on it, nodding his head every second. "You've done well. We can make do with it and submit it. I hope you won't turn down my offer anymore," He said, looking at my face. I let out a deep breath and nodded in response, "If we can get this contract with my proposal, I will surely accept your proposal," I assured him. I wouldn't compromise. If we were to lose the contract, I would work harder to win another one, and until I win one, I would never accept the position he offered me. Not because of anything but because I knew I wouldn't be capa
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 95: A YEAR LATER
AUSTIN'S POVA year had passed since the incident and I had become a graduate. The ceremony for making me the chairman of my conglomerate had been scheduled for a week from now..."What about Cynthia? She's still stuck on you for more than a year now. What do you plan to do with her?" Tine asked, crossing his legs as he looked at me. I shrugged, sipped my wine, and gently rubbed the ring on my finger. "I don't care about her. She can continue doing whatever she wants. I told her a year ago that I didn't have any feelings towards her. I don't know what she's up to, trying to act like there's something between us," I replied. There was an ounce of disgust showing in my tone. If not for the guilt I still felt toward her kidnapping back then, I would have dealt with her in a way she would regret. I never expected her to be this kind of woman but she had used the past few months showing me how lowly she could be..."I heard she posted a picture about you and her entering a hotel togeth
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 94: WAKING UP AGAIN
ADRIAN'S POV I helped Austin up the seat, and we both left the room. My heart ached terribly, and I felt miserable. I knew Austin was in deep pain; my heart ached badly, too, and I wished I could share his pain, but there was nothing I could do..."Adrian Smith!" A deep and scary voice suddenly sounded behind us, and my heart skipped a beat. Turning around, I saw a man pointing a gun at us with a smirk on his face. "This fool came to us to save you, and we had planned to only kill you after he's been killed. Who would have imagined that you would come here to die even before he died?" The man asked, laughing. "After so many years. You bastards can finally pay for your fathers' sins and go to hell!" He yelled. I clenched my fist as I looked at the man with deep hatred in my eyes. "Die for our fathers' sins. What did our fathers do?" I asked angrily. He laughed again, "You don't know. Not only did they exterminate our people back but also in the name of righteousness. They also ar
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 93: RESCUE 2
ADRIAN'S POV "Let's go. I know where Austin is! I know where he's been taken to!" I shouted and without waiting for them to say anything, I rushed out of the house. They all followed after and we soon packed ourselves into the car again. "Go to this place!" I handed my phone to John, who immediately checked the location. "Austin left a code on his laptop, which only the two of us understand. This place is somewhere his dad used to take us back then when he was still alive. It was a training ground for us back then and because he was better than I am, he was number 1, while I took number 5. Austin left 1- 5 on his laptop's screen. The only thing it could mean is that place. That means he knows where he is and he's been expecting me to save him for the past few days. I can't believe I had no idea what was going on! I can't believe this is happening!"Why? Why was I so dumb? Why didn't I think about him getting kidnapped when I didn't see him for days? Why did I continue with the stupi
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 92: RESCUE 1
ADRIAN'S POV I held my chest as I spurted out a mouthful of blood and weakness washed over my body. "Adrian!" My mother's panicked voice rang in my ears, but it sounded so distant. "Adrian, are you okay?""Adrian, Adrian!"The voices of the people in the room kept ringing in my ears, but they were too far away. I could feel my consciousness dwindling, and before I knew it, everything turned dark...Opening my eyes, I felt weak and exhausted. "Where am I?" I asked, staring around, but there was nothing in sight. A smile played on my lips, "It seems I'm dead. I can finally go find Austin," I mumbled. "Silly boy. What did you just say? Will you leave your mother behind and die just to see Austin?!" A loud and scary voice sounded beside me, making me turn my head with dissatisfaction on my face. Seeing the figure, I immediately realized it was my mother, and the first thing that hit me was immense sadness that caused blood to rush to my throat. I spat out a mouthful of blood and col
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 91: THE MESSAGE
KELVIN'S POV I turned around to look at Knight, whose gaze was on me and my lips gently parted, only to swallow back the next moment. I subconsciously moved closer to Knight, and our eyes only had each other. I could see the desire in his eyes, which didn't lose to mine. I gently sucked in a deep breath, closed my eyes gently, and forced my eyes back to the drama. Knight and I weren't even dating. The first time was a mistake, so something like that shouldn't happen again!I firmly said to myself and fixed my eyes on the drama, but not even a second had passed when the drama leads turned to Knight and I... Knight was furiously rendering me helpless under him while I moaned hard, without any restraint. My body suddenly jerked mercilessly, and my face turned all red. I tried not to, but my head slowly turned to face Knight, and just like earlier, he was staring at me too. He moved closer to me, and without saying a word, he took my lip with his, kissing me gently. He sucked on my l
LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 90: HOME DRAMA
KELVIN'S POVI stared at the movie ticket in my hand, my heart racing and my feelings heavy. It was already more than a week since Knight had apologized, and we had gotten close, but this was the first time we'd been meeting since then. He had called earlier today, inviting me to watch a movie with him, and even though I wanted to turn him down, I had found myself agreeing without thinking much, which was extremely weird. I sucked in a deep breath, deciding to keep away the thoughts for a moment and look for an excuse to leave when Knight returned from where he went to buy popcorn. "Kelvin!" Knight's voice sounded behind me, and turning around, my eyes met his. Taking in his whole physique, I felt my cheeks burning for a moment before I forcefully calmed down and closed my eyes gently. "I must have kept you waiting for long. I'm sorry," He said softly, his voice as warm as summer. My eyes shone brightly, and I revealed a smile. "It's okay. I didn't wait for long," I calmly repl
