Ansel connects his phone to the TV to share a video and motions to me to sit on the couch. My vision is blurry as fuck, and I can't see shit clearly without forcing my eyes, which I was advised not to by the doctors.

"Why the fuck are we still doing here when Olivia is missing?" I snap at my blood-brothers.

Ansel sighs. "When we caught Jason's friend, Roy, I tortured him for information. He told me...things. I had to check if what he said was true or not, so I asked Cirro to help me." My shoulders tense. "The pen drive Alekos and his blood brothers gave him months ago contained a folder dedicated to Olivia. Some videos I'm about to show you are from the pen drives, and others, Cirro had to dig deep to find. I also have Roy's phone and his videos there made me want to wash my eyes with holy water. Olivia had planned to be out of the house when I showed you the videos. She wanted us to know the truth. I already watched them with her. To say they left me fucked up is an understatement." "The truth about what?" Rueben asks.

"The truth of how big of assholes we have been. Of how we should get on our knees and worship her and the ground she walks on for the rest of our pathetic lives," Ansel replies.

*She* owns me. She has always owned me. Olny a food would think otherwise.

so badly. I fucking hated her with all my soul. If not for Levi, I would have never seen how abusive I was with her. He forced me to see what I did to her, and it flipped a switch inside me. Do I still hate her for betraying our love? Yeah. But my love for her is stronger. After all, I couldn't forget her all these years. I fought my feelings with all I had, but in the end, she won.
