LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 9: STEPS
ADRIAN'S POVIt took me all my willpower to ask him such a question and the first thing I expected from him was a slap but he only stared at me as if I had said something strange. "Can I sit here?" I asked again but he only continued staring at me without saying a word. "Can everybody settle down, please?" The professor shouted and I sighed. I didn't know he would be in class so soon. Without asking further, I threw my bag on the seat and climbed the desk to sit beside him. He turned his head to look at me and his eyes widened. "Have you lost your mind? Do you know who you are sitting with?" He asked and I smiled. "Of course. I know it's the most handsome guy in my department, Austin." I replied to him and I saw him frown. He looked at Kelvin and Tine who were staring back at him and his frown deepened "Can you explain to me why you are doing this? This is unlike you or have you truly lost your mind after what happened yesterday?" He asked me but I could feel the irritation in his vo

ADRIAN'S POV I had no idea why he drank so much and it bothered me because the Austin I knew would never be so reckless. I looked around for his friends but I couldn't find any of them and I frowned. "Where could they be?" I asked out loud as I moved closer to him and stood in front of him. "Austin," I called and he raised his head to look at me. His cheeks were red and it was obvious he was very drunk. He frowned "Who are you?" He squinted his eyes as if he couldn't see well and I chuckled. For some reason, he looked so cute when he was like this and I felt the urge to touch his cheeks but I stopped myself and looked at him "What are you doing here alone?" I asked him and he smiled. "I'm here to have a drink. My friends' lines weren't going through and I'm so sad. Can you have a drink with me?" He asked and I felt like laughing. I was sure he did not know it was me he was speaking to because if he did, he wouldn't be here speaking to me like this. He would have stood up, pushed me
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 11: EROTIC NIGHT
Author's note: Hot scene. Skip if you are not comfortable reading this. WRITER'S POVThe two stared into each other's eyes for a while before Austin raised his head a little and planted a light kiss on Adrian's lips. Adrian was feeling conflicted, he knew Austin was doing all this because he was drunk and he would regret it if he woke up. He stood up to leave but Austin stood up too and grabbed his hand "Do you want to leave me like this? I'm sure you want me too." He said with a husky voice and Adrian felt his bolt loosening. His body was reacting weirdly and he was losing his mind. He forced a smile and planted a kiss on Austin's lips "Maybe I should just satisfy him? Who knows he might forgive me because of this." He said even though he knew it wasn't possible. He still wanted to satisfy Austin and he found it hard to ignore him when he looked so adorable. "Huh?" Austin grunted as a smile appeared on his face and he placed his hand on Adrian's neck as he pulled him in for a ki
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 12: TERRIBLE NIGHTMARE
AUSTIN'S POV I woke up the next morning feeling dirty and tired which surprised me but then I remembered I had gone to a club last night so I must have drank a lot there. I placed my two hands on my forehead and groaned. "This sucks," I mumbled as I struggled to sit up in bed and I noticed I was completely naked. My eyes widened and I was confused ~ heck! Something was wrong with me but I had no idea what it was. I tried standing up from my bed but my body felt sore... More precisely ~ My butt. I felt a freezing pain down there and I yelped in pain without meaning to. Did I hit my butt on something last night? I had no one to ask as it was a bit embarrassing and no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't remember what happened at all. All I knew was that I left home last night to drink alone and then, I saw a girl walk over to me but that was all. I had no idea what happened afterward as it seemed I had blanked out after drinking so much. I struggled out of my bed and entere
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 13: HE REMEMBERED
ADRIAN'S POVWaking up that morning, a lot of thoughts were running through my mind and I had no idea what I was supposed to do. I kept thinking about how Austin would react and what he would do to me if he found out what happened between us last night. Would he blame me for taking advantage of him when he was drunk? My mind wasn't at peace, I found it hard to even take my breakfast and the only thing on my mind was how to see him to see if he was angry or not. I ran away from home without having breakfast and got to school as early as possible but he wasn't in school yet when I got there. I entered our first class for the day and sat down, waiting impatiently for him when my friends came in and sat beside me. "You came early." Knight said and I smiled softly "Yes, I couldn't sleep so I decided to just dress up and come to school instead." I replied, surprising my friends who knew my attitude was strange because I was never the type to come to school even when I had nothing to do. "W
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 14: DEVASTATED
AUSTIN'S POV"What's wrong, bro? Are you okay?" Kelvin asked as he held my shoulder to stop me from pulling out my hair. I couldn't believe it, this had never happened to me before. I had always liked girls so why? Why did I do such a thing with a guy and not just any guy but someone like Adrian, the person who killed my father?I hated myself at that moment, I hated myself so much that I wouldn't mind if someone stabbed me in the back and just let me die in peace. How could I ever face my father after death knowing fully that I had slept with the person that killed him?I did not only save him from those kidnappers but also slept with him. My head was aching and my heart was clenching. I could feel tears welling up in my eyes. "Austin, what's wrong?" Tine asked as he stood in front of me. "What did Adrian do to you?" He questioned further. I raised my head to look at them, hoping to say something at least but nothing came out of my mouth and I could just lower my head again. Seei
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 15: DISARRAY
ADRIAN'S POVI didn't expect him to throw a punch but if there was something I knew he needed to do and had the right to do, it was to beat me up for what I did to him. I didn't feel any bad probably because I knew I deserved it and I couldn't even bring myself to even stop him. What pained me the most was the pain in his eyes, Austin was pained and I could see it. I beat myself hard inwardly, wishing I could return to the day before and undo what I did to him. I liked him, I wanted him but not in a way like this. I didn't want to hurt him at all. "What was that? Why was he hitting Adrian like that?" I heard some of our classmates ask and I grunted. "I was so shocked that I couldn't even move forward. That was unlikely of Austin and it seemed he cried before he left. What's going on?" Knight said as he moved closer to me. I looked at my friends as I tried to say something to them but no matter how hard I tried to talk, nothing would come out and I was frustrated. I walked to the
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 16: DISTURBED
ADRIAN'S POV"Austin never misses school and he always comes early. So, what's going on?" Tine asked Kelvin who shook his head worriedly. "I don't know either. We should go to him after our first class. I promised to help him submit his assignment." Kelvin replied and the two continued walking. It seemed they were heading to their first class of the day. Seeing that they weren't talking about Austin anymore, I had no reason to follow them and I already got the information I needed anyway. "What are you doing here, Adrian?" I heard a familiar voice behind me and I turned my head to see that it was Kun and Knight. They looked at me and frowned "You look dull, are you okay?" Kun asked and I nodded. "I'm okay," I said as I picked up the bag I had dropped on the ground earlier and walked to my class. I thought about visiting Austin at home but I knew that wouldn't help matters at all. I was certain that the last person he wanted to see at the moment was me and I hate to make him angr

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
