Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

Chapter 161

161. Mose
“You are taking time off right when the restaurant is doing better than ever?” Alma, my associate, voices her
displeasure
Since we opened the restaurant more than three years ago, I went to work every single f u c k i n g day while Alma went on vacations whenever she wanted, and I never said a word about it.
Continuing with the inventory of the cold room, I say, “Jimmy is a good chef. He already knows the new menu. You do your part, the others will do the same, and everything will be fine.”
“Can’t you take time off in a month or two?” Alma suggests.
I look at her. “Sure. Let me grab my phone and let my blood-brothers know we need to push back all the shi t that is going on at the farm right now,”
Alma folds her arms under her boobs. “Is the new chica giving you problems already?”
I don’t understand why Alma is so curious about other people’s lives. Her favorite sport is gossiping.
“It’s not Olivia giving us problems, but her brother,” I reply. Alma would pester me until I do it anyway.
Alma lets out a squeal and I turn to see if she is alright. Her eyes are light up. “Do you like her?”
I frown. “What?”
“Don’t play dumb with me. This is the first time you bothered to remember a woman’s name. So, you like her.”
*Just because I call Olivia by her name doesn’t mean I like her,” I huff.
“There you go again. What is Olivia like?”

This woman is too nosy. She needs to find something to occupy her time with. “Don’t you have a hobby or something?”
“People are my hobby,” she points out..
I shake my head and resume the inventory. “Find a new one. Or a friend or something.”
“A friend,” Alma murmurs. “I think I will do that.” Good, maybe then she will leave me alone. “I am sure Olivia won’t mind if I visit her, right?”
I turn on my heels. “What?”
“You told me to find a friend so I am going to do exactly that, I think Olivia needs a friend, also. Besides, you keep her on that farm, isolated from the rest of the world. On top of that, she has to put up with Rueben.”
Alma and her parents moved to Veross City about five years ago. My blood-brothers and I met her at the Blood Lodge. Rueben thought she was one of the pornais only because she was wearing something revealing. When he told her to

suck his dic k, she kicked him in the nuts. Since then, they are at each other’s throats.
Rueben thinks Alma needs a man to put her in her place, while Alma says Rueben is a misogynist.
If Alma comes to the farm and learns what Rueben and Tyson did to Olivia, she will go running to the Blood Lodge to tell everyone. As the daughter of one of the Priests, Alma was basically raised in the Blood Lodge. Not here, but in Puerto Rico, since she lived there her entire childhood.
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.
“Why?” Alma wants to know.
“Because Rueben doesn’t want you there.”
“Rueben can go ahead and kiss my as s. Come on, no seas cabrón.”
Alma always calls me a bas t a r d when she doesn’t get her way.
I need to find an excuse to keep Alma away from the farm. “We are renovating the house. I will let you know when we are done.”
“You are preparing the Lair,” Alma inquires.
I don’t know why she is coming up with such ideas. “Something like that,” I mutter,
Alma taps her cheek with her finger. “She must be very special if she managed to tame Rueben. Let me know when I can meet your Olivia.”
Olivia is not mine. “Sure.”
Alma pulls out her phone. “You should hurry home. The snowstorm just started. Do let Olivia rest.”
“I am not following.”
“You are so dense. Five guys, una chica, and a blizzard.”
“I am still not getting it.”
Alma throws her hands in the air, frustrated. “Tyson has more imagination than you. Sex, I am talking about sex.” Winking at me, she adds, “Föllala bien.”
