SHADOW AND BLOOD: THE PRICE OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER ELEVEN
LORENZO GRAYSON\ KERZHAKOV ©I lit another cigar and drew in a slow breath. Smoke filled my lungs and eased the sharp pain on my arm.The room smelled of dust, iron, and old wood. Kyle’s men had done their work well. The man sat tied to a chair in the center of the storehouse, his wrists bound, his legs fixed in place.“Everything is set,” Kyle said and I gave a short nod. My eyes stayed on the man as I took a slow drag from my smoke.“That kid must have been scared,” I muttered.Kyle let out a soft laugh. “You sound worried about him. You seem to have forgotten the bullet in your arm.”I glanced at him and scoffed.I put off my cigar and pulled off my shirt. It was soaked in blood and sweat. I sat on a crate and braced myself.Kyle stepped behind me. “Hold still,” he said.I bit down on a piece of wood as he worked. The pain hit at once. It spread through my arm like fire. I kept still, though my breath was rough.“Almost done,” Kyle said.I grunt as I focused on the dull taste of wo

NICK WALKER©I walked out of the classroom with a heavy breath, still trying to process what had just happened a while ago.Professor Grayson really gave me a zero.I groaned under my breath as I remembered what Grayson had said earlier. It was the way he said it. Very calm and cold. “Maybe you are always in my sight at every glance.”I clenched my jaw. So now the solution was simple… avoid him. Stay out of his way and don't cross his path.Except… that was impossible. He was my lecturer. And worse, he shows up at my workplace.I sighed as I stepped outside the college gate with Avery beside me.“I still can’t believe he gave me five.“ she said, shaking her head. I glanced at her. “You can barely form a full sentence in Italian.”Avery struggled with Italian language. Many students who did not care much about the course did not even try to learn it.Our former lecturer was always strict and distant. She did not really care if we understood or not. Only the students who put in real

NICK WALKER©“I was just messing with you.” I repeated his words and scoffed.Seriously?My jaw tightened. That man was really getting on my nerves.I turned to Avery, expecting her to be annoyed too, instead, she burst into laughter.Not just a small laugh. She laughed hard, bending a little as she tried to catch her breath. Tears formed at the corners of her eyes, and she wiped them quickly, still laughing.“What’s funny?” I asked, confused.“I don’t know,” she said between her laughs. “I just… wow.”She straightened and looked at me like she had just figured something out.“I just… I love the chemistry between you and Grayson.”I blinked.“What?”She nodded, still smiling.Then she turned and started to walk away like she had not just said something insane.“Chemistry?” I repeated, quickly following her.“What do you mean by chemistry?” I asked again.She stopped suddenly and turned to face me.“You don’t see it?” she asked.“I don't see what?” I replied, already annoyed.She cross

NICK WALKER©~ FIVE STAR CLUB AND BAR ~“I had a great time with your service today. You should expect me next time.” The man’s words slurred together as he drunkenly smiled at me.I walked by his side as I escorted him out of the club to the parking area.This was normal. Most of the customers here often come to the club for more than drinks. They came to talk and to pour their hearts out to strangers like me.“I’ll be expecting you, sir,” I replied politely, lowering my head a little.The man reached into his pocket and pulled out some cash.“Here,” he said, pushing it into my hand. “Thank you for today.”“Thank you, sir,” I said and he pats my shoulder like we were friends.“Whose car is this?” he asked suddenly, squinting ahead.I followed his gaze and noticed a car parked right in front of his car, blocking the way and it looked… familiar.I frowned and stepped closer. “Where have I seen this before?” I wondered quietly to myself. The windows were tinted. I couldn’t see inside
SHADOW AND BLOOD: THE PRICE OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER SEVEN
NICK WALKER ©I let out a long sigh as my mind drifted back to what had happened a while ago.Everything about it was embarrassing.“Shit! That scared me.“ The word slipped so fast that I barely had time to react. I quickly covered my mouth, my eyes widening in panic.Coffee. All over Professor Grayson’s shirt.“Oh my! I’m so sorry!” I rushed out, stepping closer without thinking. My hands moved on their own as I tried to clean the mess I had made. Turns out to be a bad idea.I froze when I realized we were too close. I felt my face heating up as I became aware of his hand still on me, holding me steady from when I had almost fallen.“I… I didn’t mean to…” I stammered, avoiding his eyes while still trying to wipe his shirt, even though it only made things worse.He didn’t say anything. He just… kept looking at me. I felt eyes on us at that moment.Seriously? Not even a “don’t worry” I cleared my throat and forced myself to stand straight, trying to act normal, after what had just ha
