269. Tyson - Olivia's secret III

Leo tilts his head to the side, a mocking expression on his face. "I see the little whore didn't mention anything about Spencer. Funny when all she would cry about is that little brat. Jason had to drug her to keep her quiet. Cocks down her throat also worked."

Now I understand why Olivia doesn't smile anymore, why she is so eager to die. She wants her son.

Spencer.

Roy mentioned this name when I tortured him, but Ansel killed him before I could find out who Spencer was. Like a fool I mocked Olivia about Spencer. It was the only time when she dared to hit me. I deserved it. "Don't you ever say that name again!"

She was defending her child. A child she never mentioned. Why? Because she doesn't want to remember how he was conceived, or is there another reason?

Rueben launches himself at Leo, his fist connecting with Leo's jaw. "Where's the child now?" he asks as he beats Leo.

No matter how Spencer came to be, he still needs to be protected from Jason and Senator Deymar.

Ansel stops Rueben before he kills Leo. "If you pulverize his face, we won't find out anything."

Leo spits blood to the side. "You can all go to Hell!"

If Olivia loves Spencer...then I'll love him, too. He might have been conceived in violence, but he is part of Olivia. Her son is my son, regardless of who the father is.

My feet move before I know what I'm doing. When I get to where Rueben is, I push him out of my way and grab Leo by the collar of his shirt. I put my blade under his left eye. "What will your mother say when she receives your eyes in the mail? Talk if you don't want us to send you piece by piece to your family. I'll take my time killing you. First, I'll skin you alive. Then, I'll start removing the flesh from the bones. You'll be alive for a long time, the pain will be something you've never felt before."

All the defiance vanishes from Leo's eyes. But even so, he won't tell me where Spencer is. "Even if you torture me for days, I won't say a word about Spencer."

Ansel asks something that has me turn my attention to him. "Is Spencer still alive?"

Leo shrugs. "Maybe. Or maybe not. Who knows." This motherfucker really wants to die in the worst way possible. Leo looks at me. "If you give us Olivia and the daggers, we'll let you know where your son is, whether he is in a cemetery or an orphanage in some third-world county. A fair trade, don't you think?"

My...son?

I never fucked Olivia.

The tip of my knife nicks his skin, blood rolling down the blade. "Nice try, but Spencer is not mine."

Leo laughs. "You don't remember then."

For some reason, my chest tightens. My demon growls. "Remember what?" I hear myself asking.

"That you took her virginity while you were a guest in the facility. The same day you raped her, you got her pregnant," Leo replies.

I cut him across the face. "Lies!" I would never do something like that to Olivia, no matter how much I hated her back then.

It would be so easy to drive my knife into his heart or cut out his tongue for spewing such lies, but then I won't learn where Olivia and Mose are. My hand goes to his stomach, my blade leaving a bloody trail behind. Humans are so fragile, so easy to harm and kill.

Ansel grabs my shoulder. "Not until we learn where Spencer is. Roy died before telling me where Jason hid Spencer, but Leo will reveal what we need to know."

My head starts to pound, and I move away from Leo because I don't trust myself. "You knew about Spencer?"

Before Ansel can reply, Leo laughs again. "Even your blood-brother kept things hidden from you because that little shit was a product of a rape."

I see red in front of my eyes. No one talks like that about a child.

I eye Leo's neck.

Rueben grabs my wrist before I can kill Leo. "You need to cool down."

"What I need is to end this motherfucker," I snarl.

Ansel glares at me. "Don't fuck this up it is our last chance of finding out where Spencer is."

My blood boils at the thought that Ansel kept something so important a secret. If Spencer is my son, I have a right to know about him. Why didn't Olivia say anything to me?

The video Ansel sent me pops into my mind.

There's one video that you might want to watch when you are alone.

Sweat rolls down my back, my heart beating painfully inside my chest.

Rueben beat Olivia for hours while drugged; what if I did rape her? The thought makes me sick. I might be a piece of shit, but I never thought I'd do something like that to the woman I love. Needing to know the truth, I say, "I'm going to smoke a cigar and check on the other fucker."

Ansel nods, and I leave the room.

Sean is still knocked cold, so I sit on the sofa and pull out my phone. More sweat rolls down my back, and my vision gets even blurrier. I think I'm having a panic attack. But I need to see the video. I need to know what I did to Olivia. I need to know if I'm really Spencer's dad.

I might have a son. I don't know how to feel about it, especially with the possibility of him not being born out of love but from violence. How do I even face Olivia knowing what I did to her? Or, when I find my son, how do I look at him and not hate myself?

I grab a cigar from my pack and put on the video.

Olivia is in the same room as before, the one where Rueben beat her. From the bruises on her face and around her neck, it's a few days after Rueben tried to kill her. She's looking out the window, the blanket wrapped around her when I enter. My eyes are red, my face a mask of pure hatred.

Scared, Olivia gets out of bed and backs into a corner, away from me. But there's nowhere she can hide from me and whatever the fuck I'm going to do to her next.

My hands tremble as I see myself going to her. Bile rises to my throat. *"Why?"* I ask.

*"I didn't mean to,"* Olivia whimpers. *"Camila was my best friend_"*

I cut her short. *"Not that. Why did you cheat on me?"* Then, I do something that takes me by surprise. I start crying. *"I loved you so much, and you broke my heart. You destroyed us."*

Olivia wraps her arms around me, and I hug her back. *"I am so sorry," she whispers, tears running down her face.

*"Was it worth it?"* I ask. She shakes her head. *"You said you wanted to wait until we got married. Why did you lie to me? I would have given you everything to make you happy."*

**I didn't lie. Camila...she was in trouble, and I was so scared. You weren't there, and I didn't know what to do and...I didn't let them go all the way, though. I saved my virginity for you."* She kisses me and I don't push her away. *"I want you to be my first." She cups me through my pants. *"My only one."* I don't react to her advances. *"I love you."*

I fist her hair. "If you love me, why did you have to turn into a whore?"*
