"Serra? Are you alright? Carlos mentioned that something happened back at the campus. Did anyone hurt you?" Kyle demanded the moment he entered his home and saw Serra sitting on the couch. Her shoulders are slumped. There is heavy silence hanging in the air. Serra didn't turn to face Kyle. Because she knows that she won't be able to tell him anything if she meets his gaze. This might be their last conversation. But she wanted him to understand that she didn't hide anything intentionally. Their relationship started as just an employer and employee before it turned into something more beautiful than she has ever wished for. "I am married" she revealed, taking Kyle by shock. He was so shocked, that he couldn't find his voice to speak anything. The area behind his chest hurts. It's hurting to the point where he started to feel breathless. This is the moment when Kyle realised how much Serra means to him. The thought of her belonging to someone else is like a volcano which is ready to
After clarifying things with Kyle, Serra thought that her problems were now resolved. Kyle has taken the truth about her marriage in a mature way. He didn't act petty and blamed her for hiding it from him. Only a person who knows what is important and what is not can handle things like this. The next morning, when Serra went to attend her classes, she noticed that everyone was whispering something about her while pointing their fingers at her. Serra felt it was odd and uncomfortable. But she ignored it and attended her first class. But the whispers turned into sneers and mocking as the day passed by. 'She is married' 'She is cheating wh*re' 'How dare she flirt here while still married to her husband' 'She trapped our star quarter back' 'Shameless' As the taunts started to grow louder, Serra started to understand what was happening around her. 'They all know about my marriage' As the realisation dawned upon her, she became extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't face the jud
"This is not the way to win anyone's heart" Serra told Brielle before turning to leave. But she froze when she noticed Kyle standing there with a typical expression on his face. He is neither angry nor please. His look is complex and intense. While Serra was trying to decipher the meaning behind his look, Kyle approached her slowly until he was standing right in front of her. He gently cupped one of her cheeks. "Are you alright?" he inquired with concern. She gave him a forced smile, which wobbled with pain and sadness. She suppressed her tears of humiliation for this long because she doesn't want to give Brielle the satisfaction of seeing her cry. But now, in front of Kyle, she no longer could hold her tears back. "I ..." she wanted to tell him that she is fine. But at this point, they both know that it's a lie. She is not fine. Even without her tears, it's quite evident in her eyes. Without saying a word, he pulled her into a hug, surprising the hell out of everyone present th
"You, how can you do this to me? Do you know how much I like you?" Brielle demanded feeling wronged. Kyle gave her a cold glare. He wanted to tear her into pieces for the way she behaved with Serra. It's hard to refrain his anger, but he could always use his words to cut her instead. Kyle is not known for being merciful. If he is pissed, he will make sure to make the other person pay the price. Serra is the only girl whom he likes. She is genuinely innocent and never pretended to be anything which she is not. Even when she was wearing those ugly glasses, she was still the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Brielle cannot hold a candle to Serra's nature and beauty. "You are asking me how could I insult you like this? But the better question is, why can't I? If you are feeling so uncomfortable while someone else is humiliating you, didn't you think how Serra must have felt when you were poking at her old wounds? You brought this upon yourself. When you are a making a show of hum
The lord of the cult is not very pleased to hear that his followers still couldn't find the whereabouts of Serra Anderson. "I started to feel that my followers are no longer as loyal as they used to be" he spoke in a calm and deceptively serene tone. His followers bristled at his comment. "My lord, please don't suspect our loyalty. We are trying our best to find out everything about her that we can. But so far, we couldn't find her. It's as if she disappeared. There is not a single trace that might lead us to her" one of the followers who is responsible for searching Serra replied in a fearful tone. None of them could guess when their lord would lose his composure and snap. None of them wanted to lose their lives. The lord gave them a disapproving look. "Well, then why is it taking you so long? Until and unless she is dead, it's not impossible to find her. I want her. Find her for me. Use every means nessasary. But I want you to find her" the lord snapped at his followers. They
After returning from the campus, Serra locked herself inside her room and refused to come out. All the while she was vigorously typing on her laptop, trying to find a part time job for herself, so that she could leave Kyle's home. She belatedly realised that she is not suitable for Kyle. He is from a rich family and she has too many complications. She doesn't want to drag him into her mess. But she understood that he would not allow her to leave if she told him that. So she is trying to find a job as soon as she can and leave from here soon. It's not like she is not being thankful for what he did for her. She is. She can never repay his kindness. But accepting to become his girlfriend is now feeling like she is taking advantage of his kindness. Brielle is bad, but what she pointed out is right. Serra is not suitable to stand beside Kyle. He deserves someone better. After searching for a while, she found two part-time job notifications. She saved the address and decided to go for t
"Do you know how I feel about you?" he asked her. His gaze is intense. He realised his own feelings recently, and he knows how strong they are. He never felt this way for anyone before. Serra felt a sense of gratitude for everything he did for her. He was always there when she needed him. He is her blessing in disguise. She doesn't know how he feels about her until his confession just a few hours ago. He didn't shy away from confession in front of everyone. "It doesn't matter how you feel about me now. But as the days pass by, I am sure you won't be able to cope with how twisted my life is. Robert, my dad, they will not let me go. My marriage with Robert is incomplete, but he is claiming that I am his wife and there was a priest to support his claims. He will never let me go. You will be tangled up with legal issues if we try to go against him. And then, you will not feel the same about me. You might regret your choice. I feel that it's better if we part ways now" she explained a
After her intimacy with Kyle, she noticed that he changed a little. He was still the same Kyle she fell for. But after their intimate night together, she noticed that he was always touching her, no matter how simple the touch is. It's as if he likes touching her. He became more attentive and started pampering her too much. Gifts, clothes, accessories, you name it he bought it for her. He was always considerate and sweet to her. But after that night, she would come home every day after classes to a surprise from him. A romantic dinner, some gift which he knows she would like. His gifts were always more thoughtful rather than expensive. Days blurred by as she started to feel that her decision to give their relationship a chance started to feel good. She started to feel that her fears were baseless. But everything started to change and her happiness didn't last long. Matteo, Kyle's brother regained his memories back and Kyle became preoccupied dealing to resolve the issues botheri
One month after the Cult Lord's death, Kyle and Serra got married in an intimate ceremony where only a selected few were invited. Kairo and Rose, Reed and Mia, Nero and Chloe, Alessandro and Olivia and of course Matteo and Hera. "Serra" Matteo knocked on the door where Serra was waiting in her bridal attire. Hera opened the door, revealing the bride. "You ready?" Matteo asked softly. As Serra has no family of her own, and her father is as useless as they get, Matteo decided to walk Serra down the isle. He suggested the same infront of Kyle and Serra, who agreed immediately. Serra was overwhelmed with happiness. "Yes" Serra replied and accepted his hand. He patted her palm that is resting on his elbow. "Welcome to the family, sister" he said, making Serra tear up. "Matt, you will ruin her makeup" Hera complained. That made Serra giggle with mirth. As the brides maids, Hera, Olivia, Mia, Chloe, and Rose walked down the isle first. Then the music changed, which is meant for the
"You would have achieved success? What kind of success do you want to build over the dead bodies of so many people?" Leone demanded the Cult Lord. The Cult Lord sneered. The way Leone is speaking with himself with two mannerisms and two facial expressions and two voices seemed scary to the people who are looking at the scene playing out infront of him. If they could peel off the outer layer, then they could actually see the pain, turmoil and guilt of Leone. Kairo, Kyle and Serra could look past the scary display infront of them. They felt pity for Leone, and hate the Cult Lord all the same. Its tricky how you could pity and hate the same person. As the prospective future leader of the Negi family, Leone was forced to hold back his emotions, his feelings, and he was forced to act tough and remain calm even pretend that everything is okay when its not. Leone is not meant for this life. He has been forced to mend into a mould that he doesn't fit into. So all his inner feelings gave
"If you hurt my daughter, I will kill you" Kyle threatened the Cult Lord who laughed out loud with mockery. "What? You will kill me? Do you want me to believe that? I am safe as long as your precious little princess is in my hands. You wouldn't dare to hurt me" the Cult Lord said with confidence. And thats true. With Mia in his arms, no one would dare to act rash with thr fear that they might hurt her. The Cult Lord knows that. He came here to use that to his advantage. Everyone is on the edge. Just looking at the Crying little girl who is in the Cult Lord's arms is putting every one on edge. Kyle and Kairo looked at each other, as if a silent conversation is going on between them. 'Was he supposed to be in Chicago?' Kyle seems to ask Kairo. The Italian boss looked as confused as Kyle. According to Kairo's men, the Cult Lord was last seen in Chicago. 'I don't know. I am confused as well' Kairo seemed to reply. No matter what happened, someone messed up and now the Cult Lord is
After Anton came back to assist Kyle, Sean looked amused. "You are back?" he teased Anton, who looked grumpy. He failed Kyle, so he refused to vacate his position as the Underboss. But taking care of a toddler seemed impossible. He is still not ready to fill up his old position, but he is ready to assist Kyle to deal with the Cult Lord. Anton glared at Sean, who chuckled with mirth. Anton's glare did nothing but amuse Sean. "Get back to work" Anton snapped when he realized that Sean is not intimidated by his glare. Sean chuckled, but got back to cleaning his gun once again. Anton and Sean were sitting in the foyer outside the mansion while Kyle was briefing their men about what were they going to do now. That's when Anton noticed a strange man approaching the gates of the mansion. His clothes looked dishelved and so did he. For some reason, Anton felt that something is off. He noticed the man speaking with the guards near the gates, who looked like they are trying to scare th
After killing Eugene, the Cult Lord is determined to kill Kyle and take Serra away. 'I will take care of Kyle and restore the Cult once again. My followers, don't lose hope. Stay strong under the pressure of these outsiders. Cult will rule over these people one day. And that day will come soon' he sent a message to all of his followers to raise their spirits. Already the Cult has lost more than half it's compounds and more than 3/4th of its followers. The last few thousands of the followers who are still with the Cult are someone who has nothing to lose even if their sick preferences were exposed. Mentally unstable people, ex convicts, and child abusers were among them as well. So they all became extremely happy when they saw the message from their lord after almost two weeks of radio silence. And this news reached Kyle's men as well. "Boss, you should see this" Sean showed the Cult Lord's message to Kyle. They still has the mobile of the guard whom Serra accidentally killed.
The man who was keeping an eye on Leone and Eugene was watching the motel room where they were staying in for a while now. He is one of Kairo's men. He has been following them from the moment Leone escaped from the Rehab. He heard Leone and Eugene arguing about something. before suddenly Eugene ran out of the room. Kairo's man looked puzzled. 'Where is he running off to?' he wondered. But he didn't make any move to follow after Eugene, as Leone was their prime target. But a moment later, Leone ran after Eugene, which prompted Kairo's man to run after them. Kairo's man heard that Lance and Eugene are good friends and cousins. But the way Eugene looked terrified while he was running away made him question if what he heard is right. "Well, I better follow these two" this man thought and started running after Eugene and Leone from a distance. On the other hand, Eugene is terrified. He is running as fast as he can for his life. The look on Leone's face when he begged Eugene to
"So what?" Leone demanded angrily. He knows that the Cult Lord is planning to strike at the Negi family. And he didn't stop him. Why should he? The Negi family failed him, so he decided not to protect them. It was Eugene's mistake to assume that the Cult lord will only scare them and not cause any harm. Eugene was taken aback by how casual Leone sounded. Its as if more than a dozen of his blood relatives are not lying dead there. As if he doesn't care that the house he grow up in is not burned to the ground. "Our memories are lying in ruins. The people we grow up in are in coffins. They are the people whom we consider our family. Then why?" Eugene demanded with anger and sadness. Leone is not at all feeling bad for what happened. "Because they all deserved it. None of them cared when I was thrown into that rehab center. So why should I care about them now?" he asked with out an ounce of regret. Eugene was stunned. He couldn't recognize the Leone standing infront of him. T
In the Negi family residence, a man who looked like he escaped from an asylum walked upto the gates. The guards stopped him promptly. "Get out of here" they dismissed him without bothering to inquire who he is. His shabby clothes and a crazed glint in his showed that he might be a homeless person. So they dismissed him casually. That man, grinned dangerously. The crazed glint in his eyes scared the guards. He looked unhinged and borderline insane. "The Cult Lord sent me here to kill you all today. He wanted me to make sure that this would be your last day in this world" with that said, the man opened his ill fitting jacket, revealing a time bomb inside. Its already turned on and is ready to blast in another two minutes. Its not enough time to disengage the bomb. So the guards abandoned their post and ran inside to inform about this man to the elders. This crazy suicide cell sent by the Cult Lord confidently pushed the doors open and walked inside the residence with a disturbing s
Serra was not expecting that the list of her surprises is not short. Because, after Kyle's not so traditional proposal, she went down to receive Kyle's guests. This is the first time she is acting as a host to Kyle's guests, and she doesn't know what to be expected. But she should have trusted Kyle that he will not invite anyone who would make her feel uncomfortable. Because, when the guests finally appeared on their front porch, she was pleasantly surprised to find Rose, her best friend and Mia's God mother. "Ose" it was Mia who flailed her arms with excitement the moment she saw Rose. "OH my baby, did you miss me?" Rose immediately took the bundle of joy from Serra who still looked surprised. Serra looked at Kyle, who was already observing her. "Kairo is a friend, and his wife happened to be your friend. I thought it would be a good idea to invite them over" he explained. "Thank you" she whispered softly, clearly moved by his gesture. "Rose" she hugged her friend of two year
