Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

230. Tyson - Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe

The only person to tell me that I wasn't a mistake was Olivia. She used to tell me that we were always meant to be and that God never makes mistakes when it comes to babies. That my purpose on Earth was to be hers and her purpose was to love me forever. Fuck. And I ruined everything. Because my mom fucked me up so badly, the moment I saw the video with Olivia sucking dick while wearing the ring I gave her, I lost my shit. My trauma is not an excuse for what I did to her, to the love of my life, but is the catalyst that started my hate for her.

"That's me," I say.

Camila and Rueben were the first to really accept me into the family. Probably because I was the sibling that knew a lot of shit and always got into trouble while they got away with a lot of stuff. And then Ansel joined the family, when my dad and step-mom became his foster parents. Since then the three of us-Ansel, Rueben, and me-have been the best of friends.

"If my daughter is not here, then where is she?" Senator Deymar asks me.

I shrug. "She left this morning." Thank fuck, because having Olivia here right now would have been a tragedy. I jerk my chin in my blood-brothers direction. "We don't know where. Maybe she left the state. Hell, even the country." "After what you've done to her, no wonder." Senator Deymar pulls out his phone and shows me a video from the shed from when Rueben and I tortured Olivia. "My daughter might be a whore, but she is still a Deymar. I would have let you go unpunished, but then you went ahead and killed one of my men and put videos of you fucking my daughter on the internet. So you see, it ruins my image. So I'm here to ruin you and teach you what happens to those who cross me or try to harm my family," he tells my blood-brothers and me. "You also torture my son and for that, you all will pay a high price."

Who the fuck put videos of Olivia on the internet?

"The bastard shot Brayan in the face," Jason says.

Senator Deymar narrows his eyes. "Did you now?"

"He kicked in my door and got mud all over my rug," I reply. "How did you get that video?"

The Senator smirks. "I have eyes and ears all over the place." That means there are spies among us. Someone close to us. Not one of my blood-brothers, that's for sure. But who? "I never understood why my daughter liked to spend her time with you lot," the Senator narrows his eyes. "But since you think you are so smart, we are going to play a game. Get up," he orders me.

"Make me," I dare him.
