Shackled (The Lord Series) by Carlos

Chapter 105

It is the first time I have harmed someone like this. My intention wasn’t just to harm him, I meant to

kill.

I pull out the fork and try to stab him again, but he hits my wrist, and the fork flies out of my hand.

His eyes meet mine. “I will kill you, you fucking bitch!”

Shit! I screwed up, big time. In the movies, it is always easy to kill someone, but it is not the same in

real life, especially when adrenaline kicks in.

I run from him, but he catches me fast, grabs my hips, and yanks me to him, making me lose my

balance. My first instinct is to protect the baby, and my arms go around my stomach, but I hit my face

hard on the floor as we both fall. Pain explodes in my nose as I hear a crunching sound. Pretty sure it’s

broken. Blood pools on the floor.

His hands lock around my neck. I try to crawl away from my father, but his weight pins me down. I

refuse to think this is how I am going to die. It can’t be.

My arms are beneath me, and I try to move my body so I can free them, but between the lack of air and

hitting my face on the floor, I am so dizzy my strength leaves me.

Death is not the end of things but rather a new beginning.

But Alekos, Reyes, and Stefan will never know-

Suddenly, my father lets go of me and gets off of me. I cough as my lungs fill with air.

“I am going to fucking rip you to pieces with my bare hands for touching her!” a man yells.

Stefan?

I turn to my side, and I see not only Stefan but Reyes as well. Rin is also present, holding a gun against

my father’s

temple.

I don’t think I have ever felt so relieved in my entire life to see Reyes and Stefan, and I start to ugly cry.

They came after me. And this time, I won’t be left behind.

Reyes crouches next to me, his body shaking with rage. His right hand goes to my stomach.

“We are fine,” I sob so hard, I doubt he will believe me, especially since blood is still running from my

nose, and I try to clean it with my t–shirt.

Reyes touches my nose, and I wince. “I need to set it in its place.”

I nod, and Reyes is quick about it. “I will never leave your side again,” he promises me as he picks me

up and cradles me to his chest. “If something would have happened to you or our child…I would have

made this world into a new kind of hell.”

How does one respond to that statement?

My hands grip the front side of his shirt. “I was so scared I would never see you again. Any of you,” I

say between sobs. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“You are safe now,” Reyes tries to reassure me. Then to Stefan, he says, “This is all your fucking fault!

All you had to do was stay with her. But no, you had to go get drunk while I was trying to find out who

was after her! Take a good look at her because this is the last time you will see her.”

My gaze goes to Stefan; my tears make it hard to see him, but even so, I notice his hands trembling.

Was he worried for me? I want to believe so, but trusting him is so hard. He hurt me so much, and he

doesn’t even see it. Not only him but Reyes and Alekos as well.

“I will go once I am sure she and the baby are well,” Stefan says before leaving. He didn’t even look at

me.

He is leaving?

He must still be upset about me screaming Jason’s name.

“Kill him, and let’s go,” Reyes orders Rin.

“He knows where Carlos is,” I tell them both. Days after I was saved by Beetle, I learned Carlos left

Veross City, his

destination still unknown.

“Bring him with us then,” Reyes changes his mind.

Reyes starts walking, and Rin forces my father to follow us. I don’t trust my father, so I look over

Reyes’s shoulder, keeping an eye on him. When I see him putting his hand in his pocket, I yell, “He

has a gun!” I don’t know if he actually put it in his pocket, but I can’t risk him harming or killing my

mates or Rin.

Rin shoots my father in the left foot. “Next time, it will be both your knees,” he snarls as he takes away

my father’s

pistol.

Reyes takes me to another yacht–the one they came in. Rin drags my father below deck, and Reyes

takes me to the captain’s cabin. After making sure the baby is well, he looks at my wounds.

When the screams start, I know Rin is torturing my father.

After my nose stops bleeding and Reyes takes care of my bullet wound–luckily it’s not deep, he joins

Rin in torturing my father for information. His screams echo inside the yacht. I shouldn’t have said that

he knows where Carlos is and let Rin kill him fast. Hearing him begging Reyes and Rin to put an end to

his suffering will give me nightmares for a long time.

I am in the captain’s cabin, my hands covering my ears, as I don’t want to hear the screams anymore

when Stefan

ters.

My father might be a piece of shit, but I still love him. Hearing him in such pain makes me feel so

guilty. I know he would have harmed me without any remorse, but that doesn’t mean I am like him.

“Make it stop,” I whimper.

Stefan sits on the bed next to me and pulls me in his lap. “What music do you like?” he asks and

takes out his phone from his pants pocket.
