Python's Love

1: Fear the Name: Python

-

Python sat in the back seat, HIS gaze locked on the dark cityscape flashing past the car window.

His hands rested on his knees, calm, steady and completely unbothered by the blood that had just soaked them minutes ago.

Betrayal...!!!!

It was a word he had long grown accustomed to, yet it never failed to ignite the same burning disgust inside him.

That man... Erdem...

He had served under Python for years, swearing loyalty, taking orders without hesitation. Yet, in the end, he was nothing more than a rat... selling secrets, thinking he could outsmart Python.

'huh, a fool.' He scoffed thinking about that disloyal rat...

Python had crossed oceans, leaving Istanbul for LA for one reason and one reason only... to end the life of that rat.

No one betrays Python and lives to tell the tale.

Erdem must have thought he had time. Thought the distance would protect him. Thought he could run.

But Python never lets his prey escape.

Loyalty isn't a choice. It's a law. And breaking that law meant one thing... Death...

And The shovel had done its job perfectly. Now, Erdem was nothing but a nameless corpse rotting in the shadows of an alley.

Python exhaled slowly, his fingers tapping against his knee in a rhythmic pattern yet controlled and calculating.

His eyes flickered toward the rearview mirror, catching Izan's smug expression as he drove, and then to Rex, who sat beside him, Calm as always.

'Darla has the remaining information.' Python repeated Rex's words in his mind.

'Good..' And then he closed his eyes leaning his head back..

[Morning]

"Mama!!!"

"You know I only eat toast with orange marmalade!" Samira pouted, crossing her arms.

"Samira, the jam is finished. Just have your toast with this flavor today."

"But I don't like apple flavor, Mama!" she again pouted like a child..

"It's just for one day. Stop making a fuss and eat your breakfast."

Samira gasped, her eyes wide with cuteness....
"You're scolding me?"

Liana sighed.
"When did I scold you?"

Before Samira could argue, her father spoke in a soft tone.

"You could have told me yesterday that the marmalade was finished. I would have bought it for my doll."

"Natalia didn't inform me, otherwise, I would have already arranged it, Honey."

Natalia, their housemaid, usually took care of the groceries. But today, she was off, and she had forgotten to mention that the orange marmalade was finished.

"So sorry Sweetie, just manage for today. I'll go shopping with Natalia in the afternoon,"
her mother reassured her.

Samira sighed, giving in.
"It's okay, Mama. Please don't say sorry."

Just then, a hand placed a sealed jar of orange marmalade on the table.

Her eyes lit up.
"Brother... how-"

Kai smirked.
"Before going for a jog, I went to the kitchen for water and saw the empty marmalade jar. So, I bought a new one while coming back."

He ruffled her hair.
"I knew our Simmi wouldn't eat properly without her favorite marmalade."

Samira grinned and hugged him. "Thank you, Bro!"

She was truly the princess of the Orlaith family. Her parents and her elder brother pampered her in every way possible, always calling her Simmi with love.

"Good morning, lovely people!"

Talia walked in with her usual bright smile.

"Good morning, Talia,"
Liana greeted warmly.

"Come have breakfast, sweetie,"
Gary offered.

Talia shook her head.
"Thank you, Uncle, but I already ate. You know Dad's strict diet rules."

Kai smirked.
"Yeah, yeah... that's why you're turning into a buffalo."

Talia gasped and glared at him.
"Kai brother! You shouldn't call a girl that! Don't you know?"

"You two, stop fighting. Let's go now," Samira sighed, grabbing her bag.

"Bye, Mama! Bye, Papa! Bye, Bro!"

With happy goodbyes, they left for university, completely unaware that their lives were about to change forever.
