Shackled (The Lord Series) by Carlos
197. Olivia - Old friend II

Not all Lords are born with a gun in their hands. Some, like Levi, prefer books.

Back in high school, Levi was the nerd of the class. He was skinny, wore big glasses, and dressed kind of funny. Because of that he got bullied. That is until Camila and I befriended him. Camila was Levi's biggest defender and he fell in love with her but unfortunately, she only had eyes for Sean. Levi and I were more laid back and just liked to read. He always used to recommend books to me, even snuck some from his mom's library for me. In exchange, I had to help him get with Camila. I did try to make her open her eyes, but she never listened to me. All she could think about was Sean.

Somewhere along the years, Levi had a glowup. He is no longer the nerdy type but the... guy who flirts with everyone? At least, that's the impression he gives me. He is tall, all muscles, no longer has glasses and learned how to dress, and he gives me a bad-boy vibe but his eyes are still as kind as ever.

Rueben steps in front of Tyson and me, his large back shielding me from the other men. "The slutty nun is off limits. You want to stick your cocks in some cunt remember that hers is only for our use."

I've been called many things but never a slutty nun. What's that even supposed to mean? At least Rueben is not calling me the Diseased Cunt anymore. I doubt he will fuck me because deep down, Rueben and Tyson still think I'm a leper. It doesn't even bother me, especially since they keep their distance, but it confuses me as to why they suddenly act like they own me or something. I guess they do own me, since they bought me, but Rueben always made it clear that my only purpose is to help them take down my father. After that, Rueben will grant me what I so desperately want. If he won't, then I'll have to find a way to undo the bond with Ansel. Not with him, though. He can get fucked and feel the bond breaking when I die. He had no consideration for me, why should I consider him?

A man with white hair and mismatched eyes—one blue, the other green-chuckles. "The slutty part, I get it, but she ain't a nun. She is one of Carlos' girls."

Pointing out that I am a sex slave, a pornai, doesn't bother me anymore. It did for a long time. I came to accept my life as it is. But won't Ansel or Jasper be ashamed of it when more men point it out? Men never like it when they are reminded of their woman's past. Someone like me will never have a happy ending. I'm not delusional nor do I think Ansel will keep me. He will abandon me just like Jasper did when I mentioned I am barren. Just like he did when I needed him. Trust is something I'll never have.

"What makes you think she is one of Carlos' girls?" Mose clips.

The reply comes almost immediately. "Oh, I've seen videos of her." Pointing at the other men, the man with white hair says, "Isak, Steven, and Gavin, I'm pretty sure know what I'm talking about. But it's cool. It's not like I care that you have a pornai in the house." Jerking his thumb at Levi, he adds, "We kinda have a similar situation at home. My cousin has this unhealthy obsession with a woman."

If Rueben thinks there aren't any videos of me being gang-banged, he is wrong. But Jason has always made it clear to Carlos that our father won't be happy if any of those videos end up on the internet and the family name gets tarnished because of this. Ever since Jasper forced me to stop taking drugs, my mind has become clearer and I've been remembering stuff I had forgotten.

"Rin, knock it off!" Levi tells the man with mismatched eyes.

So Rin is Levi's blood-brother. Or that's what I assume.

Ansel stands. "She is not one of Carlos' girls! Olivia is our future wife.”

I want to protest but I bite my tongue. Tyson and Rueben are yet to say anything about Ansel bonding with me, but I can tell they are angry about it. Until now, we have been dancing around the subject, but sooner or later will have to address the elephant in the room.

Rueben snorts before going over to the fridge and grabbing a beer.

At least he is not pretending to want me as his wife.

Rin walks over to the table and takes a strawberry from the plate before Jasper can stop him. He and Mose woke up early to go grocery shopping and they bought the strawberries specially for me because I mentioned I liked them. It surprised me that they would spend money on me. I'll have to show them my appreciation later on.

"Seems that Rueben doesn't want Miss Slutty Nun as your wife," Rin comments.

I don't want him as my husband either. The reason I didn't go with Wasp is Ansel and Jasper. Maybe for Mose, too. They treated me like a human being when no one else did. They touch me with kindness and in bed it doesn't feel like they are using my body. Despite being abused for years, I find myself not fearing them. For some reason, I have yet to understand why Ansel and Jasper always make sure I feel good and make sure I finish a few times before they cum. Except for that morning when Mose wanted me to suck him, he hasn't hinted that he wanted to fuck me, but he doesn't shy away from kissing me. It might sound crazy, but I no longer have to pretend I like being kissed. Could it be because of the bond with Ansel?

"He will come around." Ansel's tone tells me this conversation is over. “Rin, I have a favor to ask. Can we talk in private?” "Sure thing."

Rin and Ansel leave the kitchen.
