I never thought that the man who used to look at me with love would one day tell me that he is regretting the day we met. The warmth in his eyes will be transformed into anger and resentment. I would witness him killing people. That I would find out that the sweet man I fell for is actually a very dangerous Mafia boss who scare the hell out of the world. The look in his eyes when he kills is something which I would feel hard to forget. That one day, he has the ability to scare the hell out of me. And the sweet man I know never existed. That was all an act which he put on in front of the world.
My name is Serra, and this is our story. Three years ago.... In a high end chrome and glass building, a young man was standing in the middle of a huge carpeted room in front of the floor to ceiling wall. He is looking at the sea which looks stormy, just like him. He is wearing a black suit which hugs his broad shoulders and trim down to his waist like a second skin. His long muscular legs look imposing in his black slacks. He is none other than the Mafia boss of the Nividea. Nividean islands are a group of several islands nearby the US. He rules these Islands with an iron fist. And to say that these Islands provide most of the high end and very expensive minerals to the world would be an understatement. He is known as 'The boss'. The most powerful, most ruthless man the mafia world has ever seen so far. He killed the previous boss of these Islands under a minute before taking his place as 'The Boss'. No one knows how he looks and who he is. He prefers to keep it that way. With his short hairstyle in the sides and the back, but long hair near the front, Sharp nose, a well maintained short and hot beard, and simple clothes to match, he looked stylish and trendy. No one would even think that he is the most feared Mafia boss of Nividea, scarier than anyone in the history so far, not even his mentor Luca Vitiello can compare to how cunning and cold hearted this young man is. His two brothers are much better when compared to him. He changes colours like a chamilion, confusing and scaring his enemies. He could kill anyone with the scariest smile on his lips. His kills are clean and detached. He kills his enemies as easily as he squash a bug without any mercy. "Boss, it's all set. We have enrolled you in the Chicago University as the senior student. That's the same school where Miss Hera is enrolled at" his underboss Andro shared. The boss gave him a crisp nod of acknowledgement. But his underboss didn't leave immediately. He wanted to remind his boss that he cannot go to school like a regular student and it's not safe for him. But he couldn't conjure enough courage to speak. So like the loyal servant that he is, he decided to tell everything to His Boss's elder brother instead. "Boss, your brother is on the call" he handed over the mobile phone. His boss turned his head sideways and gave a look at his underboss. He knows why his brother is calling. Andro looked scared, but still handed over the mobile to his boss. "Brother" the boss answered. "Kyle, what am I hearing? You enrolled yourself in the Chicago University?" Matteo Gonsalves demanded from the other end. Kyle smirked. He loves his brother very much. But he could only show his love the way he knows how, with guns. Matteo Gonsalves is not his brother by blood. But a brother by loyalty and dedication. "Yes" he replied, but didn't elaborate. Matteo rubbed his temples feeling tired. He is currently sitting in Hera's humble home after saving it from the bank. "You graduated from Yale as the top student of your class. Why do you want to come here and study again?" he asked. Kyle is of no nonsense type. He doesn't like speaking just for the sake of it. But when he speaks, it means he decided and there is no changing his decision. "You just recovered from such a huge injury, and you refused all of us from even visiting you. Do you know how worried we were about you?" Kyle spoke up, showing a hint of affection which he usually never show anyone else. He is not pleased by his brother's decision either. Matteo rubbed his wound absently, remembering how he got fooled by a woman. Matteo felt guilty, but he didn't want to face his family in such a miserable situation either. He was fooled once, and he is not planning to leave it just like that. "Kyle, please don't tell me that you are coming here for me" Matteo knows how Kyle is. He also knows what Kyle is capable of. If there is a person in this world who can even scare Matteo, then that would be Kyle when he is upset. Kyle smirked. A very sinister smirk which is a promise to kill everyone who dared to hurt his brother. "If you think that I would leave the bit*h who almost killed you, then you are delusional. She will die, and I will protect you from every b*tch out there" he promised darkly. Matteo felt very uncomfortable when he heard this. He knows Kyle will create a blood bath if he comes here. He doesn't want that to happen. "Kyle, you know I am capable of handling my business. If you come here and touch anyone whom you shouldn't touch, then mark my words, this is the last time we will speak with each other" Matteo threatened with the only weapon he knows which can affect his younger brother. Kyle clenched his fists with anger. "You can't do that" he muttered angrily, showing for the first time that he is indeed affected. Matteo smirked happily, thinking that his plan worked perfectly. "This is how it works. Just like how you hate me and dad meddling in your business, I hate it too. You know that" he reminded his younger brother. Kyle remained quiet. That made Matteo restless. His silence is scarier than his words. "Please tell me that you changed your mind " he requested his brother. Now it's Kyle's turn to smirk. "No" he replied with finality. Matteo is frustrated. Out of all the people, he knows that he cannot stop Kyle. So he decided to control him to a certain extent instead. "Fine, if you come here, then you will be just one of the students. You go to your classes, play ball, flirt with chicks, party, and do all the stuff which kids these days would do. But the moment your identity as 'The Boss' comes out, I will kick you out of my territory" Matteo threatened. Kyle knows when to pick his fights. If he decides to kill, not even Matteo can stop him. Even Matteo knows that. But Matteo also knows that Kyle would never disrespect his brother in his own territory like that. So he agreed, reluctantly. "I will not meddle in your business. But you cannot stop me from protecting you, in whichever way I see fit" he placed a condition of his own. Matteo sighed. He knows this is the extent he could push Kyle. Take this or nothing. "Fine" Matteo muttered before disconnecting the call. Kyle didn't turn his head, but could feel the displeasure of his underboss. "You ratted about me to my brother?" he asked evenly, which made Andro look terrified. "Boss, that, I..." he stumbled over his words, but couldn't lie. "You will stay here and look after the business in my stead. You will not be coming with me. Call Carlos and tell him that I need him in Chicago" Kyle knows what would punish his underboss more. This will hurt him more than any physical punishment. Exactly like Kyle knows, Andro became pale feeling helpless."She is my daughter. Take her and clear my debt like you promised" Paul Anderson roughly pushed his young and beautiful daughter Serra towards Robert Jenkins. Serra was shocked and scared. She stumbled and fell near Robert Jenkins feet. The man who is easily older than her father. She looked at Paul with shock. Nothing is making any sense to her. She is not the most beautiful girl in the room. Her too big glasses and her braces would not agree. Still, she doesn't know why her father is doing this and how these people are taking her away from her father. "Dad? What is happening here?" she asked shakily. Fear and confusion evident in her tone. Paul is a single parent and is a gambling addict. Serra's mother left them when Serra was just five years old. Serra had to grow up faster than her age, because Paul used to forget often that he has a young daughter at home whom he needs to feed. But she never thought that he would sell her off like this. Paul ignored his daughter, and so di
"We are sorry Ms. Johnson, it's been a month since the classes started for the freshman. So all the dorm rooms have been allotted to other students. As we didn't get any mail from you, we just assumed that you might not join us this semester. We can try to accommodate you the next semester for a dorm room. You can attend your classes this semester though. But I am afraid you have to find a place to stay for now" the student coordinator of the Chicago University said with a hint of pity. Serra's shoulders slumped feeling dejected. She escaped from that hell, but its effects are still haunting her. "Here is your class schedule for this semester" the coordinator handed over some papers to help Serra to catch up with the concepts she missed so far. "Thank you" despite her situation, Serra thanked the coordinator before leaving the campus. Once outside the campus, she found a bus station and sat there alone holding her luggage. So many people walked past her, and every one ignored her.
The next morning, Kyle woke up to the most mouth watering aroma and the small sound of shuffling foot steps and clattering pots and pans. Immediately he picked up his gun and stealthily walked out of his room, ready to attack. But when he entered the kitchen, he found Serra who was working on breakfast. He almost forgot that she came with him last night. He paused when he heard her humming some tune. He quickly hid his gun before she could see. Her voice is soft and smooth. He noticed that she was not wearing her ugly glasses. They cover half her face and make her look older than her age. "What's your name?" he asked while leaning against the kitchen wall. 'Brother really found someone who look so innocent to keep me occupied and out of his way. I need to tell him that I have seen past his plot' he thought to himself.His voice startled her and she dropped the spatula she was holding. He looked amused by her reaction. She turned to look at him with wide eyes, before she lowered h
Serra found herself feeling out of place. The kids in the school are all looking at her strangely. Because neither her clothes nor her appearance look appealing. Her clothes are old and washed one too many times. Her hair is pulled out into a bun. Her glasses kept slipping past her nose constantly. "Oh my gosh, who is she? Doesn't she look like a scarecrow?" one of the kids commented, not even bothering to keep their voices down. Serra was never pretty. She always preferred to stay alone, because she was constantly bullied even in high school. Now, surrounded by so many people who are all strangers, and look like models, she started to feel intimidated and scared. "She is so ugly" "Oh my, was she thinking that it's Halloween and dressed up as a witch?" "She will give nightmares if we look at her at night" As their comments became bolder and cruel, Serra rushed away from there and hid herself in one of the ladies washrooms. She pulled her glasses away and wiped at her tea
"You were crying" it is an observation. Serra hastily shook her head, but couldn't find her voice. Kyle narrowed his gaze on her ugly glasses which are covering her beautiful eyes from the world. He simply pulled her glasses off and threw them into the nearby trash can with one clean throw. Serra was stunned. "Hey, that was the only pair I own" she protested and tried to fetch them back. But he grabbed her by her elbow and dragged her out of the bathroom without giving her a chance to take them back. "You don't need them. They look better in the trashcan than on you. Let's go. I will take you to your first class" with that said, he casually wrapped his arm around her shoulder. He is sweaty from his football practice session. His hair is wet, along with his sleeveless Jersey. He is filled with a woodsy masculine odour, which teased her senses."You stink" she mumbled under her breath, not at all liking his bossy attitude. But still grateful that he is taking her to her class ins
"Sorry, I was distracted" Serra confessed feeling embarrassed. Kyle grinned mischievously. "You are so distracted just by looking at me that you burned your finger?" he teased her. He found himself loving the red tint of her cheeks when he teased her. She blushed at his words. He is the most handsome man she has ever seen so far, and it's not easy to avert her gaze from him. But today she is not distracted by his handsomeness. "No no, I was thinking about what happened today on campus" she shared. He frowned. Being bullied on her first day is not a memorable incident. So he gathered that she might not be thinking about that. "What happened?" he inquired casually. He leaned casually on the wall beside him and folded his arms. The simple move made his biceps bulge, showing his impressive muscles. "After my class today, almost everyone wanted to know how I know you. The same people who said that I might give them nightmares approached me to talk about you" she shared. He
Kyle walked inside his huge cabin which overlooks the ocean. "What information was he acknowledged with and how many of our shipments are at risk?" Kyle demanded his underboss. The man whom he just killed used to work for him as a close member of Andro's inner circle. So he knows a hell lot about their businesses and their incoming shipments. "He knows about four of our shipments which we sent to Texas, Nevada, Portugal, and Russia. I found out that he was working with our enemies from a month ago" Andro shared. Kyle gritted his teeth with anger. He started to suspect that something was wrong when one of his shipments was attacked midway and was almost stolen by his enemies a couple of weeks ago. That's when he decided to keep an eye on every person who knows about that deal. And there are not many. Andro, and three other men. So he arranged for men to follow these four people, including his underboss to find out who the culprit is. It didn't take him long to find out the pers
Serra found herself feeling as if she just slipped into the rabbit hole. Completely out of her depths. Both Hera and Olivia turned out to be very persistent. Despite Serra's attempts to refuse their offer, they never gave her a choice to actually refuse. Just like now. "Full makeover for her" Hera instructed the beautician while nodding towards Serra, who is looking like the deer caught in headlights. "But..." Serra opened her mouth to refuse and Frankly share with them that she doesn't need anything and most importantly she doesn't have money to pay for all this. But Hera didn't let her finish. "Serra, me and Olivia are taking their services. They have an offer going on. If two people take their services, it's free for the third person. We thought, why let it go to waste when you can use the free offer, right?" Hera lied smoothly, clearly understanding what Serra is going to tell them. Serra looked confused and very intimidated. "But.." she opened her mouth to tell Hera
"What?" Sasha gasped with shock. She thought that she could manipulate Anton easily with her words like she did before. But to her shock, he turned out to be the person who is suggesting to kick her out of the island. Anton looked unfazed under her teary gaze. His resolve unwavering. "No, Boss, Anton, you cannot do that to me. I was born and brought up on this island. Where will I go if you kick me out now?" she begged. Kyle glared at her coldly. He could imagine how today could have gone wrong in so many ways. If not for Serra's instinct and her smart mind, today he would have come to witness a different outcome. Sean didn't hesitate to support Serra. They worked as a team to catch the Cult Lord. And undoubtedly it was not an easy feat. "You betrayed your boss and invited my enemy into our midst. You jeopardized the safety of my family. Anyone who sides my enemy will ultimately become my enemy. And I don't have the habit of keeping my enemies close where they can hurt my fa
"Good girl. Now come here. Come to your Lord" the Cult Lord demanded smugly. Smith was now feeling desperate. "Ms, please don't. I am not worth your safety. Ms, please. Think about our Princess. The Boss will not be able to bear if anything happens to you" Smith was begging Serra not to come. Sean is tensed and anxious while Tina is scared for Serra's safety. She knows what kind of a monster the Cult Lord is. She knows that Serra will not be the same even if she stays with the Cult Lord for an hour. He is crazy and absolutely twisted. He will ruin her sanity for sure. "Shut up" the Cult Lord punched Smith once more. Smith coughed up blood at the severity of that blow. "I said, don't hurt him" Serra snapped angrily. The Cult Lord sneered at her. "You are not yet trained. Once you pass the initial training, you will understand that I have the ultimate say in everything and you should not raise your voice at your Lord. Do you know what kind of punishment that would earn you?" he a
"I saw you drinking the water" Sasha fumed with anger and anxiety. Tina smiled at her stupidity. "Poor cousin, you only saw her sipping the water from that glass. But you were so busy being a smug bi*ch that you didn't notice it when she spat the water out" she revealed, making Sasha go pale . Sean couldn't hold back his chuckle. While the Cult Lord was fuming. "No wonder Kyle is so crazy for you. For a moment I started to believe that you really drank that water and now we might be in trouble" Sean murmured, clearly pleased with Serra's quick thinking. Serra smirked. While Tina pulled out her gun as well. They all are prepared. Sasha's sudden arrival made them suspecious. But still they played along to see what she is upto. Mia is safely tucked inside her sound proof nursery, unaware of everything that's going on outside. Cult Lord is glaring daggers at them. He planned all of this so perfectly. But Sasha's foresight ruined everything. "I had to make her believe that I fel
The entire Mansion is abuzz with Serra's fainting. They are all contemplating if the water was really poisoned by Sasha. As everyone knows about Serra fainting, they didn't stop the ambulance near the gate when it arrived. No one dared to delay the treatment of Serra and face Kyle's wrath. The Cult Lord, who was driving the ambulance drove inside the mansion with a giddy feeling. He is excited that he is going to kidnap Serra and make Kyle regret ever clashing with him. As the ambulance stopped near the driveway, the Emergency medical team who were arranged by the Cult Lord rushed out with a stretcher to carry Serra out. "White Pill" Sasha replied with a smirk, taking Sean by shock. After burning down so many Cult Compounds, he is now very familiar with that pill. He heard it more than a few times from the woman whom they rescued. He noticed so many women lying there in a state of pity without conscience. He learned that these women are new and they are kept under the effect of th
"How dare you?" Sasha screamed with anger and raised her hand to slap Tina. Before Sasha could hit Tina, Serra grabbed Sasha's hand by her wrist to stop her. Sasha looked at Serra with burning anger and Jealousy. "Have you had enough? Or do you want to cause anymore nuisance here?" Serra demanded in anger. She is already upset and anxious about the Intruder. On top of that, Sasha's loud remarks were grating on her nerves. Sasha sneered at Serra, her jealousy all time high. "This is all because of you. If you hadn't come in the middle and stole Kyle, today i wouldn't had to hear these kinds of words from everyone. You are the reason why all of this is happening. Why don't you leave Kyle to me and leave already?" Sasha is now behaving like a crazy psycho who finally lost her shit. Moreover, what tipped her off was Tina casual remark about how Sasha used her body to achieve her purpose. After hearing that, Sasha couldn't remain calm. Truth hurts, deeper than anyone could fathom.
Inside the mansion, Tina found Sean looking on edge. His shoulders looked tensed and he didn't come to tease her, not even once. He kissed her the previous day, and the day before that as well. But today he seems to be distracted. He was standing near the back yard of the mansion, as if he was thinking about something while looking at the steps that lead down to the beach. "How did they offend you? You look like you want to destroy those poor stairs" she commented. He moved his head slightly, but didn't turn to face her. His gaze is still fixed on the stairs. "What happened? Got bored of kissing me already?" she Inquired, feeling a little sad inside. She was looking forward to his visit. She thought he would pursue her until she gives in. But he gave up so easily, which made her feel sad. Sean Smirked. A little tension eased off his shoulders since the intrusion that morning. She doesn't know that he would never be bored of kissing her. Without any warning, he grabbed her by the
"But Boss, how will anyone know when our security switches their shifts? I specially change their shift timings every week....." as those words left his lips, he froze with shock. Only he knows the shift timings of the guards inside the mansion. Not even Sean inquired about that. Sean knows where not to meddle, and he never meddles in Anton's business. That's why Anton respects Sean and does not feel jealous of his closeness with Kyle. "I didn't tell anyone. I didn't tell anyone" Anton mostly told himself again and again before slumping down on the aircraft floor carpet. They are now flying back to the Nividean islands. Anton was trying to help Kyle feel at ease. But after analysing the situation, everything is pointing at him. If the Intruder entered inside the mansion just when the guards were in the middle of changing their shifts, then that means he knows beforehand about the schedule of the guards inside the mansion. Even if Anton tried to just brush it off as a coincidenc
Sasha was busy preparing dinner for the Cult Lord. She heard that Serra is being tormented by the Cult and they are determined to take her away no matter what. She tried to win over Kyle, but he was stuck on Serra who came with so much baggage. He is preferring to fight such a huge organisation like the Cult for her. He could have easily chosen Sasha over that Serra and could have avoided all this. Sasha is hell bent on getting rid of Serra and marrying Kyle Carter. 'What? The Boss moved on to someone else' 'A pity that Sasha was used and discarded' 'Looks like Sasha is only good as a play thing. When it came to choosing a wife, Boss picked someone with character' Sasha overheard what her friends were talking about Sasha behind her back. It stung to hear them thinking so low of Sasha. She couldn't go and confront them. Because that will only make her face even more humiliated. After that, Sasha became determined to get rid of Serra at any cost. "I have a plan" she heard the Cu
"My Lord, i am here to help you" Sasha greeted the Cult Lord. He smirked to himself. "Good, now take me away from here. I need a fresh plan for tonight" he instructed her. She nodded and escorted him from behind the boulders. One of Kyle's men immediately noticed Sasha and the man following after her. "Sasha, who he is? Don't you know that strangers are not allowed inside the island?" he demanded. Sasha became uncomfortable, while the Cult Lord was on edge. He is ready to snap the guys neck if he dared to stop them. "You dared to stop me? Didn't Anton tell you that I invited my cousin from the mainland? You can call him and confirm if you don't believe" she replied confidently. That guy vaguely recollected hearing that Sasha's cousin was coming to the mainland to stay for a few days. He thought it was a girl. Turned out it is a man. "Fine, you can go. Make sure that he doesn't cause any trouble while on the island" Kyle's man instructed her before letting them go. Sasha e
