SHADOW AND BLOOD: THE PRICE OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER FORTY - THREE
LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©I sat in the lounge of my house, quietly sipping from a glass of whiskey.The house was empty.It was just like the way I lived before Vanya came back from Russia.The silence surrounded me, and my mind couldn't help but drift back to the time I was sick.I still couldn't believe Kyle brought Nick to my house to take care of me.I sighed.I found myself thinking about the kid again.When did things between us become this complicated?Before I could think further, I heard the door open.The sound of heels echoed through the room.“Drinking here all by yourself?” Vanya asked as she walked toward me.“There are so many ways to avoid seeing Nick at Kyle's, Vadim,” she said and took a seat on the bar stool.“When exactly are you leaving?” I asked with a slight grunt.“This again?” she asked, taking a sip straight from the bottle of whiskey I had placed on the table.“I’m here as Antonio’s right-hand person…” she started, but she didn’t get to finish befor

LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©Nick held my shirt tighter, like he wasn't ready to let me go.And maybe that was the problem.Yes. I was making a mistake. And that mistake involved Nick.I was risking him again. I had put my own feelings before his safety.I slowly pulled away from the kiss and looked at his face.What the fuck was I doing?This wasn't right.A professor getting involved with his student wasn't something that should happen. It was something no one could know about, especially not my father.I was putting Nick at risk. He doesn't even know who I truly was.And if one day he found out my real identity, what would happen?What if I lost him?“Enzo.”He reached out to hold me, but I quickly moved away.“No... no, we can't… we can't do this,” I said.I didn't know what I was doing.Why on earth was I kissing him?I let out a breath and ran my hands through my hair.I was so stupid.I escaped from my father in Russia after he released me. I knew he would make me go thr

LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©I should have known better. Things shouldn't have gone that far with him. He was my student, a very young student. He was off limits.What was I doing?How could I risk him by putting my own desires first before his safety?He was young, but whenever we were together, all that didn't matter.Just because I cared about him didn't mean I should put his life in danger because of my feelings.How was I supposed to protect him?Nick didn't even have anyone. He was the one protecting his little sister.How was I supposed to protect him when Antonio finally came after me?He would hurt the people I cared about first, and that included Nick.I really needed to stay away from him.I needed to keep my distance for his own safety.Nick Walker.I wondered how he walked into my life and how I ended up letting myself get so close to him.Now, he was someone I couldn't ignore.I just needed to pull myself together and fix whatever was going on between us.I palmed

NICK WALKER ©For the entire day at school after I broke down, Avery didn't bring up the matter.Or maybe she just didn't want to talk about it yet.I felt embarrassed after everything happened. It had been a long time since something like that happened.The last time was when I searched for my mum after she left Mira with me and left.“Let's go out this weekend,” Avery said, pulling me out of my thoughts.I turned to her.“Go out?” I asked and she nodded.“Yeah. Mira, you, and I,” she said as she opened the door to the house.“Well… the semester exams are coming, and we need to prepare for them,” I reminded her.She groaned.“Boring. That's exactly why people call you a nerd,” she said before walking inside.We met Mira working on her assignments when we entered.“Mira, what do you think about going out this weekend?” Avery asked as she sat beside her on the floorboard.“Going out?” she asked, looking up at me.“With Nick too?” she added and Avery nodded.I dropped my bag on the couc
SHADOW AND BLOOD: THE PRICE OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER THIRTY - NINE
NICK WALKER ©I was that nineteen-year-old boy who didn't have his life figured out like everyone else seemed to.It wasn't an easy life, but I had no choice but to pull myself together.From the moment my mother left, I planned the path I wanted to follow.Stay by Mira's side until the very end.Work until I had everything settled for her.And earn a scholarship to college to avoid college bills.Nothing about me mattered as long as I had everything figured out for Mira.But why did I suddenly want something for myself for the first time?There was only one thing I wanted to get so bad.And it was the man standing right in front of me.I couldn't understand why, but I knew one thing for sure.I didn't want to stay away from him.I wanted those moments between us to continue.Lorenzo Grayson.I didn't truly know what I wanted from life, but somehow, I knew I wanted him to be part of mine.Was that wrong?“Then get on your knees,Nick,” Enzo said, holding my gaze as my heart pounded so

LORENZO GRAYSON \ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©The morning I had planned wasn't supposed to include Vanya.Yet there she was, sitting in the passenger seat with her heels resting on the dashboard, staring out the window as I drove to college.After our argument last night, neither of us brought it up.Before I even woke up properly, Vanya was already dressed and ready.The moment I turned on the engine, she got into the car without saying a word.I gave her a look the moment she entered my car.“You don't expect me to sit around all day in that huge house waiting for you to come back from college, do you?” she asked.“No smoking on the institute premises,” I told her as I drove to college.She turned her gaze back to the window.“So we're setting rules now?” she asked“And stay away from Nick,” I warned.“And the Minister's daughter?” she asked and I turned to her.“Alina,” I corrected before focusing back on the road.“You're more protective of Nick than Ali...” she said, but I cut her off.“I

LORENZO GRAYSON\KERZHAKOV ©“Do you have any idea why he’s threatening you this badly?” Kyle asked over the phone while I drove down the road.I pulled the car over to the side and stayed silent for a few seconds.“Enzo…” Kyle called again.“I think Antonio is planning something,” I finally said. “

NICK WALKER ©For the first time in a long while, I spent the whole night thinking. Thinking about whatever Professor Grayson did the previous night.No matter how hard I tried, I could not get what had happened last night out of my head.The way my whole body reacted when I felt him kiss my ear.I

LORENZO GRAYSON\ VADIM KERZHAKOV ©My fist hit the mamba bag again.And again.Each punch came fast and hard, like I was trying to break something that would not break. The chain above the bag rattled with each hit. Sweat ran down my face, down my neck, and soaked my shirt. My breath came out in s
