CHAPTER 72: ANGER

last update Last Updated: 2024-11-18 22:36:46

AUSTIN'S POV

Laying 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

    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

    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

    Austin Brad's Pov "You like it, huh?" A voice whispered coyly into my ears and my whole body shook violently. My knees turned to jelly and my body went out of control. "What's this? What's going on? Why is my body out of my control?" My mind was messy and my brain couldn't process anything. I felt a hand on my waist and I looked down only to find two strong hands wrapped around me. " Who is this?" I asked myself but I found it hard to look straight into his eyes. "Austin. Will you like me to go further?" The voice asked again and without knowing, I nodded my head. "Hm..." I groaned in pleasure as his rough hands squeezed hard on my breast. It was a feeling I had never had before but it was a feeling I could easily get addicted to. " What have you done to my body? It's no longer in my control." I grunted as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. It was a long passionate kiss that got my body jerking, his wayward hand worsening the matter as he to

    Adrian Beckett's Pov I never could have imagined that Austin would take the initiative to punch me like that. It was a complete surprise to me and I was shocked! I staggered backward with shock evident on my face and I wiped my mouth only to find out there was blood dripping from the corner of my mouth. "Austin!" His friend, Kelvin shouted and it was obvious he was just as shocked as everyone else that saw us. Austin was always the calm type and he would never fight me head-on in school because everyone knew and respected him unlike me who was known as the vagabond by everyone. I rushed toward him and grabbed his collar "Are you nut?! How dare you punch me like that?!" I questioned with anger-filled eyes and I was ready to start a big fight right there but he looked to be ready too and I was very sure he wasn't going to hold back like he used to. Why? This was the question I wished to ask him but I knew asking such a question would only make me look like a fool bec

    WRITER Adrian walked out of the bar with a divided spirit. He wanted to tell his friends what he felt but he knew that would only make him look like a coward to them as they would take his sincere word as an excuse and use that to taunt him. He looked around him and let out a deep breath "I have no choice but to leave then. " He said to himself and walked toward their school junction. The walk there was fast and silent but the fear in Adrian's heart immediately increased with every passing second and the moment he got to the junction, his heart tightened and he couldn't help but look around him with caution ~ Back at the bar ~ "We have to leave too," Kelvin said after he had waited for some minutes and was sure Adrian would be at the junction by then. He held the hand of Tine who was beside him and signaled for him to follow him. "Where do you think you are going? You already sent Adrian to that Austin and you want to leave too? Don't you think it will only be right if y

  • LOVE IN SHADES   CHAPTER 4: A STRANGE TURN

    AUSTIN BRAD's I knew Adrian hated me so much but never in my wildest dream would I have expected him to agree to such an absurd request from our enemies. It was unbelievable... I couldn't believe my ears for a few seconds as I stared at Adrian's determined face as he requested for his hands to be freed. The talk about him and I being close friends from childhood was a blunt truth... A truth I've always wished was never right and that was the reason I've kept Adrian alive to date even though I've had many opportunities to get rid of him and avenge my father. It was because one part of me kept telling me he might not be my father's killer although I saw him with my own eyes and even got shreds of evidence against him. With my own hands, I kept the pieces of evidence that could have put Adrian in prison, all because of what? Till today, I was still just as oblivious but right now, I felt like I knew the reason. It was to kill him with my bare hands because he was the wildest e

    ADRIAN I watched patiently as Austin faced the two huge men like a ferocious boar that was ready to kill and destroy everything. With the way he was hitting them, I felt my body rise as I imagined him beating my friends and me that way. Well... That was the main reason we never faced them squarely because we knew we were no match for him and his friends. "So, you freed him to beat us? Do you think two of you are enough to fight us?" One of the middle-aged men asked and I frowned. "Two of us? Who told you it's the two of us? Austin alone is enough to teach you guys a big lesson." I boasted with an evil smile on my face as I watched the men glance at each other. I thought I had won when they were unable to talk for some seconds but I realized I was wrong the moment they nodded their heads and laughed. "I will go and call them in." One of them said and turned his back to leave.Call them? Call who? "You think I would give you the chance to call anyone?" I asked as I readied myself t

    AUSTIN'S POVI was able to get myself and Adrian out of the bush, and we ran to the bar where we knew our friends would be. Throughout the run, we said no word to each other as we both had a lot running through our minds. We just went through a near-death experience, and we barely escaped.Thinking back to those men, I wished I could report them to the police, but I knew that wouldn't help at all because it would only drag my late father's name in the mud. With the look on their faces, they seemed to be my father's business partners when he was still alive, but they weren't good people, and it made me wonder if my father was ever a good man too, or if all he showed me was nothing but pretense... a facade.We continued running, and before we knew it, we were in front of the bar, and as we expected, all our friends were there, waiting for us. "Austin!" Kelvin shouted the moment he saw me and ran toward me. He hugged me tightly. "I knew you would be fine. I trusted your luck and decided

    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

    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

    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

    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

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
