The next morning, Serra woke up with a feeling of being surrounded by a warm and comfortable blanket. She never felt that a blanket can be this hard and cozy. 'Wait, why is my blanket hard?' she wondered as her sleepy mind tried to catch up with what she was feeling. Slowly she felt a hand wrapped around her stomach. Her features twisted with confusion before her eyes blinked open and looked at the two strong vise-like hands wrapping themselves around her body. Her eyes widened with horror to realise that they looked like a man's hands. Her top is now pooled under her breasts and he is holding her around her bare waist. She started to panic until she noticed that the man was still holding what looked like a hot pack in his hand. She started to remember that Kyle brought her a hot pack last night. She turned her head as much as she could and peeked at the man who was spooning her from behind. His features are sharp, but calm and very handsome. Kyle was still sleeping beside her. T
"Brielle, look" one of the cheerleaders of the football team, Jane nudged their head cheerleader and the queen bitch who has a very big crush on Kyle. When the rumour about Kyle and Hera started, she was pissed. She wanted to teach Hera a lesson, but she never saw Kyle and Hera in a situation which made her believe that Kyle is indeed interested in Hera. Brielle turned to look in the direction where Jane pointed at. She fisted her palms with annoyance. "This low life Scare crow. What the hell is she doing here, and that too dressed like a nun" she muttered with anger. All the cheer team eyed Serra who looked as awkward and out of place she could be. She is looking around with wide eyes while trying to get away from the wandering hands of the guys who seems to be very interested in her these days. "I don't like her. She not only has Kyle's attention, but she has the attention of all the male population in the University. If not for Kyle, guys wouldn't have bothered to stand in a q
Kyle brought Serra back to his house. She is shivering and crying from everything that happened. And he is angry too. "Go change" he instructed her. She quickly disappeared inside her room and came back after ten minutes, dressed in different clothes. But her eyes are puffy and she still looked as miserable as she did back in the frat house. Any normal person would have asked how she is doing, if she is alright. But Kyle is not normal. So instead of comforting her, he scolded her. "Why did you come there?" he demanded. Frat parties are not for everyone. People like Serra need someone to look after her considering how innocent and beautiful she is. Serra flinched at his tone. Her nose turned red with suppressed emotions. "I came because you asked me to come there?" she whispered honestly. He frowned. "When did that happen?" he demanded. Because he didn't invite her. In fact after what happened the last time he was with her, he is not planning to party with her. She looked
"I know we should have killed her like you wanted to. But i never thought that she would be this vile" Matteo expressed his concern over how badly he misjudged Sussanne. He failed to recognise her character sooner. He was blinded by his attraction. And the fact that she used to work for Mia was what convinced him that Sussanne is good. But how wrong was he. Once again it's proved that he cannot trust anyone in their field. Sussanne proved it once again. "Then why the delay? Let's kill her now. I might not trust Hera, but I never wanted to hurt her this way. This is the worst anyone could do to a woman. And Sussanne being a woman herself tried to hurt Hera this bad? We cannot overlook it this time" Kyle expressed his anger. Matteo wanted nothing more than to catch and kill Sussanne once and for all. But it's his issue and he doesn't want Kyle to be involved in his mess. He heard from Carlos that Kyle seems to like a girl. Matteo was amazed to hear that. Kyle was so closed off and c
That evening, after her classes, Serra was trying to find Kyle. He instructed her to wait for him after her classes, so that they can go back home together. She knows he is a quarterback to their football team, and there is a football match the following day with the Floyd college team. She knows this from other kids who were discussing this all day long. Everyone was discussing the upcoming match and how important it is for their team. Apparently the Chicago University team and Floyd team have had a rivalry for years now. The Chicago team couldn't beat the Floyd team until now. And it's their first match together in this season. Now that Kyle replaced their old quarter back and his performance is top notch, everyone is looking forward to this match. The Chicago team is eager to defeat the Floyd team. It was said that the Floyd team is too arrogant and insulted the Chicago team too many teams, calling them 'Chic team'. Too delicate for rough matches like this. The Floyd team membe
"Cyrus, why are you taking so much time to bring me that girl I asked you about?" Robert expressed his displeasure over his brother's inefficiency.Cyrus sighed heavily."Brother, I tried to talk to her. But it's proving to be hard. And it's not easy to enter inside the campus without a valid reason. How can I negotiate with her without talking to her?" Cyrus reasoned.Robert snorted sarcastically."You didn't learn anything from me after all these years. Why do you have to talk to her? And why do you think it's necessary to negotiate with her? Which one of my wives married me willingly? But now they are happy with me. This girl will be the same. Hire someone and kidnap her. I have this strong feeling that she might be the wife who can give me a son. Make it quick" Robert instructed with a wave of his hand.Cyrus understood what he had to do. So he nodded his head before leaving. On the other hand, Early the next morning, Kyle woke up Serra from her sleep at around five."Serra, wake
"You alright?" Kyle Inquired after taking Serra away from the Floyd team. She was a little shaken, but not scared. "I am fine" she replied softly. But she is still upset by the way the Floyd team insulted the Chicago team. "Those team members are very rude and arrogant. And they look like street goons rather than students. Will you guys be fine playing with them?" she Inquired worriedly. Sean and his friends are more than just rough around their edges. They skirt on grey areas of the law. Kyle smirked. If they are goons, he is their king. He draped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her towards him. He found her concern cute. "Don't worry, we will be fine" he assured her. He let Sean go not because he was avoiding trouble. But because he wanted to teach him a lesson in front of thousands of other students. Serra was still worried, because she saw how rough the Floyd team was. Serra found a seat near the front room, which was reserved for her. Coincidentally, her seat
"Balloons?" Serra murmured with surprise. The sun began to set, casting a dim light in the surroundings. Combined with the balloons and the surprised murmurs of the people in the stands made it look even more beautiful. Serra caught one balloon with one of her hands and looked at it with surprise. "Looks like someone already started celebrating" she murmured with her eyes twinkling with joy and amazement. But Kyle is not looking at the balloons or the loud voices of the people around him. But he is looking at Serra, who is finding joy in small things. She is looking at the balloons with a broad smile. That smile made her look even more beautiful than before. He is unable to wrap his head around the fact that she can find happiness in these fleeting meaningless things. For him, all these things held no value. The life of a balloon is uncertain, and short, he dislikes things like this. But she seems to like it. The smile on her face is saying it all. He rarely saw her smile. But th
"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
In the rehab where Leone was placed, he looked utterly shattered while locked up in a room for the safety of others and his own. Patients who have extreme conditions would be isolated until they are sure that the patient can be trusted around people. So now, pacing in his small room with a single bed, he kept talking to himself, mostly cursing the Cult Lord. "You said you would protect me. What happened now? You took me directly to the devils den and now we are locked in this room, if we can call it one" Leone was snapping and yapping at the Cult Lord. The Cult Lord is equally angry. "Me? I was trying to get rid of that Kyle Carter. Its not my mistake that my plan backfired" the Cult Lord snapped right back. To anyone who was observing Leone, they could be able to see one person arguing with himself in two different voices and body languages. While Leone's body language is gentle, the Cult Lord is aggressive. Leone's voice is smooth, while the Cult Lord has a slightly scratchy
