Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T

259. Rueben - Pandora I

My family has always meant everything to me, especially Camila. She became my favorite person from the moment she was born, and I loved being her brother. I was the one who taught her to ride a bike or showed her how to spell her name. No matter how many years pass, I'll never get over her death. Nor will I forgive myself for how I treated Olivia.

Deep down, I wanted her to have killed Camila in cold blood because I never wanted to admit that I failed everyone. Especially Olivia, who did everything in her power to protect Camila while I was busy hating the world for not getting the girl I wanted. When my parents called me to tell me about Camila, I felt like I finally had a reason to hate Olivia, and I latched onto it. I pushed my demon to the edge so I could hear the dark whisper of darkness. For years, I lived with one foot in the grave, while with the other, I tripped at every step, my heart being filled with so much anger and resentment all I could think about was the day I would make things right and make Olivia pay for what she did to my family. In my mind, there was no other reason, no other explanation as to why Olivia shot Camila. Except for her being a whore who pretended to be innocent to fool people into liking her so she could later destroy their lives. But the only thing she destroyed was her life so Tyson, Ansel, and I could live our pathetic lives without a fucking clue or memory of the time we spent in Azael's facility and hating her with all we had. At least Tyson and I, because Ansel never said he had ill feelings toward her. Sure, he listened to me dripping venom every time she came up in a conversation, but he never said anything bad about her. He seemed indifferent, which pissed me off even more because why wasn't he as angry as I was? Even Tyson cursed the day he met her and wished Camila had never befriended Olivia.

If someone is responsible for what happened to Camila, it's me. Olivia being a pornai for years is also my fault. My parents' death is also on me. Because I failed to protect them.

"So let me get this right," Jasper says, "while you were busy hating Olivia for things she didn't do, she was selling her soul to the devil to keep you three assholes safe. I would have let you rot in that facility, no matter how nice Tyson's cock looks like."

What does Tyson's dick have to do with anything? Is Jasper into men as well?
