LOGIN“Hey, Ky.”“W… what are you doing here?”“There’s not enough time to explain at the moment. Your memories have been messed with. Thanks to what I gave you, you won’t lose them permanently. But it’s going to take a while before they fully return.”Kyla squeezed her eyes shut, still disoriented.Then the lights flickered. Taylan glanced up, his expression turning weary.“Now?” he whispered to himself.“What is going on?”Taylan looked back at her and removed the pipe connected to her. “We gotta go.”He helped her up and started toward the door, only to pause at the sight of a large man standing in the doorway.Kyla who couldn't handle the dizzy, fainted in his arms.“Shit,” Taylan cursed.Kyla woke to the sound of groaning and bone-crushing blows. She opened her eyes and saw Taylan on the floor, bloody, as one of the Serpent man struck him repeatedly.That was when everything hit her. Even though it was blurry, she realized what was happening. The hunter, the Serpent, Cordelia being the
John paused for a long time. A shadow fell over his face as he stared at the woman before the barricades.“I see she is really your weakness.” Cordelia stepped closer, until her face was inches from the barricades. “One I would love to use against you.”“You know this very person is your flesh and blood.”“One you stole from me?” She scoffed. “I have no connection with her. I never got to hold her in my arm, watch her grow or know her smile or laughter. In fact, her very existence drives me insane.”John remained calm. Exhaling, he sighed. “You need to stop. Stop this madness, Liah, before it’s too late.”“Too late? You think anyone can stop me?” Cordelia eyes blazed with anger. “Your father was once unstoppable," John's voice was soft despite the storm in Cordelia's eyes. "I understand your pain, Liah. You should take that out on me, not someone else. You want me. You have me.”“That is not the reason why I keep you here,” Cordelia whispered. “I want you to break. I want you to feel
SERPENT TERRITORY“This is insane and magnificent,” the doctor mumbled to himself.Hearing this, Cordelia yanked his hair back and slammed his head onto the table, pinning him there as she watched him cry out in pain.“Magnificent? You have got to be shitting me. You told me her body would listen once her memories changed. So tell me, why the fuck does she still flinch at other men’s touch?”“I’m sorry, Madam. I… I’ll fix this. I just need more time. A week, and all will be done.”“Twenty-four hours.”“Madam, with all due respect… th-that is not possible. It could lead to severe complications. The subject could go into shock or develop a severe mental disorder.”Cordelia scoffed. She swiftly pulled out her gun and shot him twice in the head. Everyone flinched at the sound except the Serpent members. Blood stained her dress. Dropping the gun, she turned to the second doctor.“Twenty-four hours. That’s the number of hours you have to choose whether you live or not.”The doctor trembled.
CARLOSThe ticking of the wall clock echoed through the screen-lit room, each sound more dreadful than the last. They were cruel reminders of every second she had spent there.It had been a week, five days, and twenty-three hours with constant nightmares and the backward slide of his sanity.The walls he had spent six years building to gather the broken pieces of himself were failing fast.He no longer saw himself as the one they tore apart each day. He saw her. Kyla. Being treated the same way he once was.“Hey, man,” Michael’s voice echoed through the speaker. “He’s here.”The door hissed open as Carlos stepped into the room. Across from him sat his therapist. The old man straightened at the sight of Carlos, lips parting slightly.The room grew tense and silent.“I see you’ve gone back, without my knowledge,” Doctor Ethan said. “Now all I see in your eyes is the man from six years ago.”“That’s not why I called you,” Carlos muttered, his voice low and stripped of warmth. “You’ve kno
~Paris~Chelsea shut her novel with a deep sigh.“Mom, we should go back.” She shot a look at Helen, who was cooking.“She will answer. Relax, Chels.”“Relax?” Chelsea snapped. “It’s been over a week and Kyla hasn’t responded to my texts, which is so unusual. Three days is the maximum we ever go without talking, and now not only do I feel something is wrong, she has never been like this.”“It’s probably the clinic she’s trying to set up,” Helen said calmly. “I have a friend who went through the same process and barely had time for anyone for a month.”“Mom,” Chelsea said sharply as she stood. “We’re her only family. Aren’t you at least a little concerned?”“I am concerned. I just don’t think going back is the next option. Call Mike.”Chelsea groaned softly. “Look, I understand you’re not completely over what happened in New York, but how about we leave the past in the past and focus on finding a way to communicate with Kyla, because I’m freaking out.”Chelsea dialed Michael’s number f
KYLA Kyla paced the room, fingers clenched, palms sweating, breath shaky. It had been a week since she woke up locked inside the room she suddenly found herself in.The last thing she remembered was the violent blast, then everything went blank.She knew this was not Carlos's doing. He would never lock her up. Which left her with only one conclusion.She was in the Serpent territory. Cordelia had her. And if she did, was Carlos even alive?Kyla exhaled slowly. He better be alright or she was going to lose her mind.Meals and water were slid in through the lower door opening. Kyla always sniffed them first to check for anything strange.The first rule Vee taught her was to save her strength and stay calm. If she wanted to escape, she needed her energy. Her gentleness would also make the enemies lower their guard.Finally the door opened. A bald man stood at the entrance and signaled for her to follow. Kyla did so without question. Cordelia must have sent for her.There was no natural
Kyla climbed up to his lap, her legs resting on each side, exposing her folds. Her head was on his shoulder, one of his hands fisted her hair, and the other groped her ass cheek.Spank!…Kyla jolted forward as his hand slammed against her fless. He did it in the next second, and she saw stars. Elec
KYLAShe would be lying if she said she wasn't overwhelmed and curious about everything Carlos had shown her so far.He had been calm, giving a brief explanation on her question. Some she felt were too extreme, and she had Carlos promise never to bring them near her. He was amused the whole time,
"Why were you all tensed?" Kyla asked Micheal as he led her through the hall. "Nothing to worry about. Just that... Carlos might not be in the right mood. I know he asked you to come, but he just needed a few minutes." "What happened to him?" Worries swirled in her chest. "You should ask him,"
KYLAElizabeth acted like a bitch today.Kyla wasn’t sure she would ever refer anyone as that but Elizabeth sure was.After handing her a pile of work to finish in an impossible amount of time, Kyla not only felt her body ache, she discovered Elizabeth had shifted the social event meant for next we
