Chapter 98
Shackled (The Lord Series) by Amy T
98. Stefan â Alekos states at my phone. âYou better not be wasting my time,â
âI wonât,â I promise, and he lets go of After I place the phone on the charging pad, I take a quick shower, washing away the blood from my wounds and the 6th from the days spent in the forest. My hands shake from the pain, but it is little I can do about it. I return to the living room wearing only a pair of shorts. Reyes-who has cleaned the blood from his forehead-and Alekos are waiting for me, sitting on the sofa, Reyes looks at the wounds on my sarsa. The pain inflicted by the acid is so intense I am ready to beg Reyes for the antidote, but I know it is part of my punishment, so I will endure it in silence, âI modified the acid since I last showed you how it works. It will leave scars on your body, so you will never forget what you did.â
Reyes knows precisely where to strike. As a teen, I was very shallow and thought that beputy was all that mattered. Most girls from my hometimen w me, but I only used them for sex. I changed soon after I met Emily. She wasnât all bud, as she made me see things from another perspective, wanted to be with What a pair we made. She was using me to get to Aleks, and I fell in love with her because she was the most beautiful woman I had ever met. When I met Angel, I thought she was dull compared to Emily, and I didnât understand what Alekos saw in her, but now I finally see it.
âAlright,â I say, grabbin grabbing my phone and turning it on My work computer is always on, so accessing the pen die is not a problem. I already told them about the pen drive, so I show them the folder with videos and report about Emily and wait until they go through all of them, Alekos is tense as he learns about what Emily did, and when he finds out she is sponsible for Nik ola sâs death, his eyes run from the phone to me. âYou let her get away with what she did,â he says, knowing she was the one from the hospital. âYou never showed the same grace to Angel.â
âWe all failed her,â I remind them, âDonât you f ucking compare what we did to her with you leaving her in the hands of the Dukes!â Reyes arts, âI know. Who saved her?â I want to kn âDidnât you hear when I said Angel is no longer your problem? You lost the right to be with her,â Alekos snaps at me, I want to tell them itâs unfair that she is mine also, but I know that I must first prove that I mean everything I said. âWhat cle is on the pen drive?â
âThere are folders for many Lords and Dukes children.â
âAlec?â Reyes asks fast.
I nod. âBut the last video is from the day he was killed.â
âShow me!â Heyes demands.
I take my phone from him and look for Alecâs folder. âThere is one for Angel also,â
Alekos sna tched the phone from my hands. âLet me see!â
I tell him what folder to open, and both he and Reyes watch the videos taken of her. When they reach the ones of her at the facility, Reyesâs eyes go wide. âShe was the girl I tried to save the day Alec died.â
Reyes told us about how Alec died, but I still canât help but ask, âWhat?â
Reyes nuns a finger over the phoneâs screen. âWe were always meant to be. She was never Alerâs but mine.â What is he talking about? His gaze snaps back at me. âYou did this. Find her!â
I donât know where to start, but I will find Angel âI wonât rest until she is back with us.â
Alekos stands. âGood. We need to show the Elders the pen drive and tell them what you did.â
