Serra tried her best to pull her zipper up, but to her horror, she realised that it failed. She doesn't know what to do. She couldn't possibly go out like this. Her hair might cover a portion of her back, but not completely. She became desperate as the minutes ticked by. She noticed students looking at her from outside the classroom, but no one came to help her. She took a deep breath and decided to ask for help. Her finger hovered over Kyle's number, contemplating if she should disturb him. "Serra?" she heard Cynthia's voice, which startled her. Serra lifted her head to look at 'C', but her gaze landed on Kyle who just entered the class room. An unspoken conversation passed between them. They formed a special kind of bond which doesn't need words to explain her distress to him. Just one look from her, he understood what she was feeling. Her chin wobbled as the emotions she tried so hard to push down and stay strong now threatened to trickle down her eyes. Cynthia turned to
After Robert's warning, Paul is thoroughly scared. The first thing he did after Robert left was to try and contact Serra. But as Serra's mobile was submerged in the pool at that party, Kyle gave her a new phone with a new number. So her old number is no longer in use. So Paul couldn't reach her. "What is going on with the Jenkins family. I gave my daughter to them and left her at their home. It's their mistake for allowing her to escape. Why are they coming after me for their mistake? And moreover, where did my coward and skittish daughter get the courage from to even think about running away from them. Now after they find her, which they definitely would, she would suffer" he thought with annoyance. He is not worried about his daughter's fate. He is only worried that now he had to search for her when he could have been drinking and gambling happily. Now that he couldn't reach her through the phone, he had to think about where she could have gone. So he started searching for he
"What the hell" she heard him mutter mostly to himself. A shiver ran down her spine. She is not looking at how cold his gaze turned, but she could feel it in his tone. It was deadly. It scared her to her soul. At that moment, she felt as if the Kyle she knows is nowhere and the Kyle behind her is a deadly stranger. Goosebumps appeared on her skin, showing how unsettled she felt. She felt the rough pads of his fingers dancing down her back, skirting the area which sting. This touch felt different. It made her feel as if it was clinical, like he is assessing the damage. "K...Kyle?" she whispered, unsure of what was happening behind her. The fear in her voice cannot be masked. And he didn't like it. He didn't like the fact that he was scaring her. He absolutely hated scaring his sweet Serra. "Hmmm" he hummed his reply, trying to suppress his anger. He saw a blue ink running down her spine, the same path as her zipper. It looked as if someone intentionally did this. And that realisat
"Making fun of you? Do you know how cute you look now? Like an angry little rabbit" he complimented her for the first time. She blushed at his words. But the sting on her neck didn't make her forgive him so easily, even though she is not at all angry with him anymore. "You bit me" she complained. He grinned at her complaint. Everything she is doing is so cute. And it's absolutely impossible not to feel amused. "Oh? I bit you? Where?" he inquired as if feigning innocence. She believed him and arched her neck before pointing at the spot where the skin is red now. He leaned down and kissed her booboo, making her bite her lip and smile softly. "There, happy?" he asked her. But he was not looking at her. He was looking at the mark he left on her neck. Deep down, he is feeling very satisfied to see his claim on her, like a neanderthal. She didn't reply, but nodded her head to say 'Yes'. Kyle absolutely did not forget about the mark behind her back. It's simmering at the back
"Ahh, I am so full" Serra slumped against the car seat after their scrumptious lunch. Kyle kept adding food to her plate despite her protests. He made her eat so much that she is literally feeling as if her stomach would burst out any moment now. "You need to gain some weight. And you should eat" was his reason. Kyle smiled at her. She looked sated. "Do you want to go to the beach?" he inquired. He noticed how excited she looked when they were going to the Floyd college. He wanted to show her everything that he could before they would go their separate ways. "Beach?" she looked excited to visit the beach. Growing up in a small town, she never got an opportunity to go anywhere outside that town. Coming to Chicago was her first courageous move, and even after coming here, she didn't see much. Kyle drove them to a private beach. He has his own bungalow there with access to the beach. He could have lived there instead of living near the Campus, but he couldn't risk blowing up his
By the time Kyle parked his car outside his home and carried a sleeping Serra out of his car, Sean was already waiting for him. "What do you want? Make it quick" Kyle demanded. He is still holding Serra in his arms, bridal style. Sean tried to find out Kyle's information, but he couldn't. No matter how much he Inquired, he couldn't even find out a single detail about Kyle. But then suddenly someone called and informed him and informed him when and where to Kyle. So he knows that if Kyle doesn't want to meet him, then Sean never had a chance to see Kyle. So it's not a surprise that Kyle seems to be expecting him. "I... I mean, my gang received a picture of a girl, who resembles so much like the girl in your arms. Someone is searching for her. They announced a lot of money for the person who could find her. I thought you should know" Sean immediately shared what he knows. He even showed Serra's picture which his gang received. Kyle looked at Serra's old picture, which looked as if
In the dead of the night, Robert was seen taking a drag of his cigarette while looking at the cliff nearby. He was leaning against his car which was parked on a deserted road. "Robert, i hope I didn't make you wait for longer" a man appeared from inside the blanket of darkness surrounding them. Robert snuffed his cigarette before turning to face the new commer. "No, I just came. Tell me, did you find anything about my brother?" Robert inquired anxiously. He thought Cyrus would eventually show up once he is done with the girl. But as the days passed by without a sign of him, Robert started to become worried. "I couldn't locate him. It's as if he disappeared into thin air. I saw the girls picture which you sent me. I have to agree, she looks gorgeous. If you were selling that girl, then I wouldn't mind buying her for the price you were quoting. If at all he comes back, do let me know. I want that girl. She looks fresh and untouched. But that innocence will be tarnished once she gets
Kyle started to go soft over his brother's relationship with Hera. He couldn't deny the fact that Matteo looked happier than before. "I heard that you brought a 'Friend' over to the restaurant yesterday" Matteo inquired while focusing on Kyle who kept playing with his phone. Kyle is not surprised. He knows that his visit will not go unnoticed by his brother. "Hmm" he replied in his usual humming reply. Matteo grinned. "I also happened to notice that you are not being too hard on Hera either" he pointed out. Kyle gave his brother an even look. "I can change that if you wish to" he offered sarcastically. Matteo shook his head. He is not offended. He knows his brother well. Kyle is like this. He will not show interest in anyone or anything if he doesn't want to. He does what he feels best. Infact Matteo was surprised to see that Kyle took time to come to Chicago, only for his elder brother. "No need. You know that I like Hera. She is not like her father. I made a mistake with S
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
