LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 10: A PASSIONATE NIGHT
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

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

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

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

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
Huling Na-update : 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

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
Huling Na-update : 2024-03-18LOVE IN SHADES CHAPTER 17: A DECISION
AUSTIN'S POVDifferent emotions overwhelmed me as I made my way home. I was lost and hateful at the same time. "You guys should go home, I want to be alone," I told Kelvin and Tine who seemed to be planning to go home with me. "What do you mean? You are not feeling well at all and you want to be alone? Do you think we can leave you like this and still call ourselves your friends?" Tine asked, shaking his head and making it known to me that there was no way they would let me be.I let out a deep breath as I stared at them. I knew it would be hard to get them to leave me but I needed them to understand that I wanted to be home alone too so I could sort out my feelings. "What about this? You are confused and messed up, right? Do you know the best thing to do at a time like this? It's to get yourself drunk. Shall we visit a bar?" Kelvin suggested but that only made my stomach churn aggressively. The thought of alcohol made my blood boil and made my headache bad. The imagination of it a

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
