Chapter 52
Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T
52. Angel I am in so much pain I can barely breathe. It isnât a physical pain; it feels like my soul broke into many tiny pieces. Like I lost someone I love deeply. Not just one person but many at the same time. My heart is pounding so hard that I think I am going to have a heart attack. Not that I care if I live or die anymore. I just want the pain to be over.
Aleks looks at me with anger and disgust. After destroying their stuff, I probably deserved to be treated like I am nothing more than just a cheap wh ore, but did they have to record it too?
1 Stefanâs phone rings. âCarlos,â he says as he picks up. âI hope you liked the video. Donât worry, we will return her to you once we I feel like throwing up.
Stefan has sent Carlos the video of me being humiliated in front of Alekosâ staff. How will I ever look into their eyes after this?
My father probably knows about it already since Carlos and him were very good friends. They probably realized that I lost my âV card.â The shame my father must feel right now must be matching mine.
Reyes grabs the phone from Stefan. âIf you donât want another war to start between the Lords and the Dukes, you better forget about Angel. She is our property now,â he growls into the phone before throwing it to the floor and smashing it with the heel of his shoe, I am just their property, nothing more. My chest hurts even more. Can someone just kill me already? I donât want to feel the pain anymore âGet out!â he yells at the staff. Everyone rushes out of the living room. Then, looking at Stefan, Reyes asks argrily, âWhat in the f ucking love of G od do you think you are doing?â
âLetting Carlos know where he can find his wh ore,â Stefan says between gritted teeth.
Who re Stup id b itch Shipid cant.
This is what Stefan really thinks of me, what they think of me. They donât know how right they are.
Alekos runs his fingers through his hair. âF uckââ
Reyes grabs Stefan by the collar of his T-shirt. âThis is the last time you facking insult our bonded, Reyes sarl into Stefanâs face before letting go of him.
Stefan snorts. âOur bonded? Are you f ucking serious right now? She threw away Emilyâs ring! She smashed Alecâs guitar right in front of you. Alekosâ room is a mess.
âStefan has a point Alekos says.
*If you donât want her, I do!â Reyes says before kneeling in front of me. When his hands reach to grab me, I flinch. What will he do to me now? âDonât worry, Nena. I wonât let anyone touch you ever again,â Reyes says as he removes the gag and the cuffs.
Liar! Liar! Liar!
Not that I care what happens to me, not after what they did to me. Not after letting Carlos and my father know. Carlos must have figured out where I am. Maybe it is for the best. After he is done with me, Carlos will give me to his men, and in a few hours, all of it will be over. I will be one of the many victims that appear on the NewL Reyes takes off his shirt, remaining in a white tank top, and uses it to clean my face. When he is done, he puts the shirt on the table and picks me up in his arms, bridal style. I donât even bother to struggle. âLetâs get those wounds cleaned. I think I saw some glass stuck in your feet.â
ey will get infected, and I will die before Carlos gets to me,â I whimper.
âMaybe they I donât care about anything anymore. I just want to die. Reyesâs touch feels cold and strange, adding to my pain.
Reyes takes me to the elevator. Alekos and Stefan follow us. âYou are not going to die. I will make sure of it,â Reyes tells me, his voice low and menacing Stelan gets between. Reyes and the elevator. âIf you take her back to the Lair, where we should have raised our family with Emily, I am leaving.â
52. Angel Alekin speaks next, âReyes, the bond broke. We can find one who will care about in and wonât trash our belongings. Someone who wonât fight us every moment of the day I made a mistake by thinking the is The one,â Melan adh c. I feel like knives stab my chest. Alekos gave up on me. Again. The air me they remind me of how I am not fit to be there and how Emily was that only love, I around me saddenly disappears, and rich brath I force myself to take is pure agony.
âThe Lait nevet belonged to Emily. It was always Angel. So, if you donât want Angel as our bored, thatâs fine. I will take her to my apartment and try to repair the bond there. Mefan, let me pass. â
Stelan gets out of Reyesâ way. âDonât come crawling back here when you realize she is not worth it.â
âTine,â Reyes says as he places his thumb on the elevatanâs button. The door opens, and he enters, Alekos and Stefan did not try to follow.
âWe are supposed to be a team Alekos tries to convince Reyes. âAnd you need us to keep you sate.â
âI only need Angel,â Reyes pushes one of the buttons inside the elevatin. âI know that she is the one. The only one. She is our hellstar. At least mine..and I love her.
Too bad had to break her and the bond for me to realize itâ
What is a bellstar?
Alekosâ eyebrows inch up, shock weiten all over his face.
Stelan shakes his head. âThere are no mone hellstars.â
Alekos is about to say something when the door closes, and the elevator takes leyes and me in the garage, âWhere are you taking me?â Lask when Reyes takes me to his car, My voice sounds so weak and lifeless.
âTo my apartment. Stefan and Alekos are the only ones that know about its existence. You will be safe there,â
Safe? What does he know about being sale?
âAs long as I am in your hands, I will never be safe,â I say bitterly.
Kryes balances me on his left leg and takes out a remote car key from his pocket. Then, he opens the door to his car and pestly places me in the passenger seat. Why is he suddenly acting like he cares? He fastens my seat belt before getting behind the wheel.
Aleken gets out of the elevator and runs towandi Reyesâ car. âWait?â
âI know I f ucked up, but I will prove to you that I love youâ Reyes starts the engine, not waiting for Alekos.
Mour. I saw the hate in your eyes when I smashed the guitar to the floor. You finished on the Blour and spit on my face, just like Aleks and Stefan. I might be a stu pid c unt,â I winced as I remember what Stelan called me, âbut I know what that means. Me habéis repudiado. You have forsaken me.â
