Chapter 196 An Ultimatum.
Kyle's body was adjusting to whatever was in his system, he wasn't aware but this was something the system did so its functions weren't compromised.
This was why he woke up earlier than he was supposed to but what Kyle saw soon after made his heart drop.
He didn't know if his body moved on its own but he found himself on a bed but it looked like he had been somewhat stripped.
"Where am I?" Kyle thought to himself, clutching his head in pain, there was something familiar about all of this.
Kyle wanted to get to his feet but his body must still be feeling the after-effects of whatever was coursing through it.
Kyle noticed the familiar smell in the room, this was no doubt the scent of the same candle that he had put out in their room but this certainly wasn't the room.
"It looks like you are awake," A voice said, Kyle jolted but the lust that overcame his body made him ravenous.
"Y-You crazy bitch! What the fuck are you doing!?" Kyle barked, clearly distressed but all she did was look at him with a triumphant smile on her face.
"You resisted..." Cleopatra said but Kyle was preparing to defend himself.
He wasn't at full strength but how strong could a woman possibly be? He should be able to take her. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire
Kyle didn't want to use physical force but wouldn't hesitate to do so if the situation called for it.
She had crossed so many lines and Kyle was going to do everything in his power to make sure she didn't have her way.
"What the hell are you talking about!?" Kyle was visibly shaken, who could blame him?
He thought he disliked Calista but nothing compared to how he felt about this woman before him.
Kyle knew her for a short time but his body was seething with rage.
"Those eyes... Do you hate me, Kyle?" Cleopatra said but this wasn't with a tone of disappointment but satisfaction.
"I know you were faking it with my sister, even I could tell the timid one was your girlfriend," Cleopatra confessed but Kyle wanted to know how she knew.
That and so he could buy as much time as he needed, Kyle noticed he wasn't bound so Cleopatra might have brought him here to have a conversation, nothing more.
"Why do you hate Ella so much?" Kyle asked but Cleopatra chuckled at this.
"Me? Hate her?" Cleopatra said before that chuckle escalated into full-on laughter.
"What nonsense has my sister fed you?" Cleopatra was amused by the accusation that she hated her sister.
"That doesn't matter! Why am I here? What do you want from me?" Kyle had claimed himself down.
He knew he had to use his words carefully because if he could use this situation to help Ella then he planned to do just that.
"Are you scared of me?" Cleopatra asked but Kyle scoffed at this accusation because it was a silly thing to ask.
She had outplayed Kyle in every aspect and Kyle had a decision to make.
In this world, a man accused of such a thing would hurt his life even if he wasn't guilty of it. Guilty until proven innocent.
This was the end of their interaction and Kyle was allowed to return to the room but with one thing on his mind, he took Cleopatra's bait.
-
Ella was done showering and changed into a night robe hanging on the wall, waiting to be worn.
And worn it was, Ella came out of the shower and wondered where Kyle went.
He was nowhere to be seen but this was something that she didn't mind.
She couldn't sleep because her body was still feeling weird even though the shower she had was effective in cooling her off.
She lay on the bed but didn't shoot Jane a message because she thought that Kyle had gone to see her. The last thing she would need was to interrupt their alone time as she was already a nuisance to them.
"Love must be nice," Ella thought to herself but realized she had met a man who showed some interest in her.
"Nate, was it?" Ella thought but the problem with experiencing Jane's relationship first-hand was that it had set an unrealistic expectation as to what she expected from any man she would otherwise entertain.
She couldn't sleep but was aware that nothing could happen to Kyle.
Cleopatra might be a sociopath but wasn't someone who would harm another or at least, that was what her sister thought despite nearly being choked out by that same sister.
Ella thought about reading the letter but knew her heart wouldn't be able to handle it.
The thought that her parents might have wanted her at their funeral and she couldn't be their daughter one last time broke her and it was all thanks to Cleopatra.
The door opened, giving her wandering brain something to focus on.
It was Kyle but he looked stressed as hell; Ella mistook this as him just finishing to have sex with Jane.
She knew Jane had lost her virginity but that took far too long for it to just be about sex; his roughed-up hair told her otherwise.
"What did you do, Jane?" Ella thought to herself with a look of surprise.
Jane was never the freaky type but judging from Kyle's state, she must have put in the work.
"Are you okay?" Ella asked but Kyle knew there was a camera in the room.
Otherwise, there was no way for Cleopatra to know if he did what she wanted him to do.
But there was a factor that Kyle considered, there was no way that she expected him to force himself on Ella or that would land him in jail so this had to be consensual.
All Ella had to do to put an end to this predicament was say no and that was the result Kyle was hoping for.
