Shackled (The Lord Series) by Carlos
267. Tyson - Olivia's secret I

Ansel is not the only one who can feel that something is wrong with Mose. More than wrong. The link that connects me to Mose gets shrouded in a black fog, letting me know he is in danger of losing himself to the dark whisper of Hell. I stand fast, and immediately I get dizzy. I push past it, as Mose is more important than any discomfort I might face.

"We need to go now!" My voice comes out as a desperate cry. After everything I've seen today, there's no fucking way I'll let anyone I love die. Olivia is wrong. She didn't kill Camila. Rueben, Ansel, and I did it by not being there when they needed us. My hate led to destroying a woman who did the impossible to keep me safe. As Jasper said, Olivia should have left me to rot in that facility if it meant she didn't have to go through years of abuse. "The rest of the videos-"

Ansel doesn't get to finish his thought as I cut his short. "I get you promised Olivia to show us everything she went through, but we already lost to much time. We'll see them when we return with Mose and Olivia." He doesn't protest, letting me know he understands why we have to go now.

Rueben jumps to his feet and rushes to grab the car keys. Diva and Ansel follow him. Despite my shitty eyesight, I'm the first to reach the door and open it.

"What about me?" Jasper yells after us.

"Someone has to be home in case Olivia returns before we find her," Ansel says as he climbs down the porch stairs.

I doubt that will happen, as I have the feeling that when we find Mose, we'll also find Olivia, but Jasper needs a solid reason to stay home, apart from his shattered knee. Besides, whenever someone is in danger, Olivia is there. It's like she has this ability to sense when someone needs her. Maybe the same force will bring her back to me, as I need her more than ever. I need to let her know how sorry I am and how much I still love her. That despite everything and everyone and the hate that I was forced to feel for her, those beautiful feelings that blossomed while we spent time in the orchard are stronger than ever. That I was going to beg her to take me back even before the videos. I'm sure she won't believe me, but I'll gladly spend all my life proving to her that I mean each and every word.

"Don't you fucking dare leave me behind!" Jasper sounds just as panicked as I feel. I don't blame him. He knows too well the pain of a shattered link between blood-brothers, but I won't let Mose die.

We reach Ansel's car, parked in front of the house. "There's no way we can take you with us. You will lose your damn leg!" Rueben shouts as he unlocks the driver's door.

"Better a leg than another blood-brother," Jasper shouts back. When he finally realizes he is going to stay home and wait for news from us, he says, "Keep Rueben far away from Olivia. I don't trust he won't harm her again."

Jasper isn't the only one not trusting Rueben around Olivia. Especially after the last video Ansel showed us.

When Mose and Olivia are home, Rueben and I will while have a small chat about what the fuck he did to her. I don't fucking care that he was drugged. He beat her for hours.

A thought hits me.

*Hypocrite. You tortured her, too.*

I get in the back seat together with Diva while Ansel jumps next to Rueben, who is already starting the engine. Before he starts driving, Rin comes rushing out of the house carrying guns. In our haste, we forgot to grab any from the closet. That wouldn't have been a problem, as we have more stashed in our cars.

Rin opens the back door and hands me the guns. "Do you have a plan?"

We hadn't thought of one as we were busy watching how we ruined Olivia's life. There's no need to say out loud what Rueben and Ansel are probably thinking as well.

Ansel shifts in his seat before saying, "Soon after we brought Olivia here, Mose planted a mole in the midst of the Dukes." Mose is a chef and he might like patching up people, but when it comes to his role as a Lord, he always knows the right person to send as a spy. It's like he has a six sense or something like that. "He wanted to find out where Carlos was hiding, but instead, he learned where Jason lives. Before he was ready to divulge his findings, he sent the mole to watch Jason's apartment to get an idea of who comes and goes and to look for weak spots inside the residential complex. Jason might not be there but it's worth checking the place out. Maybe it will lead to us finding out where they are keeping Mose."

Mose hasn't told us anything about this, but that's not that unusual, as he likes to be one hundred percent sure he is right about the info he is about to present to us and the rest of the Lords. He probably wanted to wait for the right moment to reveal what he found out about Jason, but by doing so, it cost us greatly.

"It wasn't long ago that Mose told me about knowing where Jason lives. He also thought that he was close to finding where Carlos is hiding," Ansel ends the conversation.

Rin seems to think before saying, "As much as I want to come with you and avenge Levi and the others' deaths, Jasper needs me here." His demeanor changes. "Besides, if I come with you, I'll kill those motherfuckers so fast, you won't get to find out what you need." I throw Rin a glance but his face is a blur. It must be one of his good days if he is not craving blood. "Make them suffer," Rin adds. "I'll open the main gate for you." "Take care of the farm and Jasper for us," Rueben says.
