LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 1: FORBIDDEN DREAM
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
Last Updated : 2024-02-20LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 3: KILL OR GET KILLED
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

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
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 6: UNUSUAL
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
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 7: NEW EMOTIONS
ADRIAN I wanted to go back home to gather my thoughts after what happened earlier. I wanted to clear my mind and see to what I was supposed to do next because each time I stare at Austin, my heart wouldn't stop beating and I was confused. Was it fear? Was it excitement? I had no idea what it was. Because of this strange feeling, the only thing I wanted was to escape from the bar and return home for the day. I thought I was finally going to be alright when I saw Austin leaving with his friends but my eyes widened when I heard Kun trying to cause problems for him. For some reason, each hurtful words Kun said to Austin were like daggers to my body and it was cutting me deep. I was annoyed, I wanted to stop him which was why I told him to stop but he was too stubborn and still went on to fight him. I intended to just grab him and drag him away from Austin but I lost it on the way to him and before I knew it, I had thrown a punch to his face ~ I was shocked too. I looked at my hand and
Last Updated : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 8: AUSTIN
AUSTIN'S POV I had watched Adrian walk away after punching his friend and I still couldn't get over the shock even after minutes that he left us. I watched him disappear from our sight and I looked at Knight, Kun, Tine, and Kelvin but everyone was just as shocked as me. "Why did he punch me for this one?" Kun asked as he glared at me with questions in his eyes. "I guess..." Knight mumbled and looked at me but he immediately turned to look at Kun. "I think I know the reason. "Was it you who rescued him from those bad men? You helped him there, right?" He asked me but I just stared at him without giving any reply. Though I was curious to know why Adrian did that, I had no reason to reply Knight who I hated as much as I hated Kun. They were all Adrian's friends which made me hate them too but not as much as I hated Adrian. He realized I wouldn't be replying to him and he clapped his hands~ Did my silence give him the reply he wanted?"Yes! I knew it. That was Adrian being grateful. He

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
