"No" Serra whispered in horror while looking at her hands with which she accidentally pushed the man down and caused his death. Her whole body is shaking with the realisation of what she did. 'Serra' 'You alright?' She vaguely heard someone trying to gain her attention. But she was stuck in the moment where she pushed that man to his death. Even though her hands are still clean, she feels like her hands are drenched in the blood of that man. She couldn't tear her eyes from the dead man down below. Blood is pooling around his body, gradually increasing in size. His blood is turning darker, the longer she is looking at it. She didn't know when she started crying. She is scared and horrified. She collapsed on the floor while crying at what she just did. "I killed him. I am a killer. I killed him" she kept mumbling to herself over and over again. She doesn't know for how long she stayed that way while Smith and Sean were trying to talk to her. But nothing penetrated through
"Serra, did you think about what that man was trying to do before he got caught?" Kyle knows how to get rid of Serra's guilt. Serra slowly recalled everything before she struggled to catch that intruder. "He was trying to enter our daughter's room" she whispered, as possibilities of what he must be planning to do once he was inside Mia's nursery made Serra shudder with fear. A stranger entering their daughter's room in the middle of the night cannot be with a good intention. "He was one of the Cult followers. If my guess is right, then he might be planning to kidnap our daughter. If the Cult Lord gets hold of Mia, then you can imagine what that would mean to Mia. They must be planning to use Mia to get to you. Cult is not a good place for women, not even for babies. If that man was not showing mercy at a little girl, then why are you feeling guilty and torturing yourself for getting rid of these kinds of men from around the world?" Kyle made her realise that the man doesn't deser
The Cult Lord was pissed at the back lash his Cult was receiving. All the influential people who were involved with the Cult are now no longer responding to their Lords call. They are scared to get exposed and defamed. The media started to take interviews from the women who were saved from the burning compounds. As the woman finally saw the sunlight and after the assurance from the social services, they started to open up. Slowly, but gradually. The stories they shared about the Cult compound were horrifying to every woman out there. It's a woman's worst nightmare. 'We suffered a lot. From as long as I remember, the compound is all I knew. We never know that there is a world outside that compound. Men used to come, use our bodies to their pleasure, abuse us, and leave. We used to become pregnant as they never believed in using protection. We never got to see our babies if it was a boy. Because the Cult priest used to train them to become the future Cult followers. But if it is a gi
Sean was seen driving back to the mansion from Kyle's tower. He went to unlock the chat and call recordings from the Cult follower who tried to kidnap Mia the previous night. They gathered his mobile, but couldn't open it because it was password protected. It took him a while for Kyle's technical support to unlock the password without losing the data inside. Once they cracked the password, they got access to the Cult group which was under the name 'Lord' with the picture of a man in a black cloak. His face and nothing about the man was visible. Not even his build. But the chat history in that group told them that they were indeed planning to kidnap Mia and trap Serra using her daughter. Sean also found out what the Cult Lord is planning next. And that is to defame Kyle's super star football image. Sean was lost on thoughts when the Cult followers mobile buzzed with an incoming message. He looked at the message to see what these people are planning to do again. To his surprise, ther
"We will use you until we squeeze the life out of you" the Cult followers announced, much to Tina's horror. Tina couldn't find a way to escape. As she was new to this place, she doesn't know where to go to escape from these people. Just when the followers were almost upon her, loud gun shots rang loudly in the surroundings. Before anyone could react, four followers fell down on the ground, dead. The others scattered away. Tina was so stunned that she couldn't see who her rescuer was as he went chasing after the remaining followers. Tina looked at her surroundings to see four dead bodies. She was so scared, that she scrambled backwards and away from the dead people. Her breathing is laboured because of fear. Her mother's face flashed in her mind. At that moment, tears welled in her eyes which she hastily wiped away with the back of her palms. She stood up to her feet and approached the dead followers with anger. She started kicking them with all her might. She didn't notice Sean co
"Where is that gardener? He was supposed to kidnap that little girl. Why is he not back yet?" one of them pointed out. Everyone started to murmur about the gardener. "Let me call him" someone volunteered. He dialled the number, and the call was answered on the second ring. But no one spoke on the other end. "Where are you? Did you kidnap that girl?" the followers demanded the gardener. On the other end, Kyle sneered. "He tried, but we killed him. Next is your turn. The hunt already began. You live on my island and dare to harm my daughter? That too a little girl? I am coming for you too. We already have access to your locations. And you are surrounded. See you soon" Kyle spoke darkly. The followers shuddered with fear. Kyle was not bluffing. As soon as they unlocked the gardeners mobile, they started to locate the followers based on their mobile signals using their numbers from the Cult group. They are indeed surrounded. "They found us" the follower whispered in horror, just
Tina was seen restrained in Kyle's study. Both her hands were cuffed to the chair's arm rest. She tugged and she tried to break free, but her restraints didn't budge. She is half assured that she is at Kyle's mansion and finally she could be able to talk to Kyle Carter. She risked her life to come here only for this purpose. She is determined to get justice for what happened to her mother. She glared daggers at Sean, who was having too much fun at her expense. He was looking at her smugly, much to her annoyance. Even though she didn't like the way he was treating her like a prisoner, she is satisfied that she could get to speak with Kyle Carter on her first day in Nividea islands. She was worried that she might not be able to meet the boss before her father decided to take her back and ruin this opportunity which stumbled upon her after a decade of waiting. "What's your name?" Sean inquired curiously while taking a bite into the juicy apple that he was holding in his hands. "None
"It was a payment of loyalty" Tina began, but paused and took a deep breath through her mouth as if she was struggling to control her tears. "It was twelve years ago, when I was just a little girl. That's when my dad learned about the Cult from his friends. They all decided to join after listening to the amazing offers of the Cult. They could sleep with anyone they want, even if the said woman was someone's wife or a daughter. So when a new member joins the Cult, they demand a payment. But not in the form of currency. But in the form of women in their life. It might be a wife, girlfriend, or even a daughter. As I was too little back then, he offered them my mother as a payment. She didn't know about that until he handed her over inside one of their compounds" she took a deep shuddering breath before continuing. "He was quiet as if nothing happened when his friends and other followers were violating his wife. She cried for help and begged him to save her. But he simply shrugged her
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
