Shackled (The Lord Series)

44. Alekos

Da mn Giselle for putting me in this position in the first place.

“Another mistake, and I will take you to the Blood Lodge.”

Giselle understands fast that she is still the one to take care of the Lair. “Thank you so much, Master

Alekos?”

She tries to k*ss my right hand to show me how grateful she is, but I jerk it away from her. “You can

leave.” I snart in annoyance because I already told her not to touch me unless I say so.

Giselle stands fast and rushes in the elevator.

I grab the crystal whiskey bottle and refill my glass, then sit at the table. This day has been exhausting. I

swirl the glass and watch the ice cubes move inside the amber liquid

“I don’t know how you can still trust Giselle after what happened with Anne,” Stefan says as he enters

the living room.

A few days after my father’s funeral, Zak-my uncle-became the new head of the Raptou family, despite

being my birthright, as Zak is an illegitimate son. He took advantage of my grief and stole some legal

papers left by my grandfather together with his will, and days later, he was the new Oikos-head of the

family.

My cousin, Anne, Zak’s daughter, who had been studying in one of the best boarding schools in the

world, returned a week after the funeral and came to see me. I was in the office when Liza let Anne in.

Giselle and Brute were in the backyard, but when he heard an unknown voice in the office, he jumped

through an open window and attacked Anne. Giselle was not supposed to have Brute so close to the

office that day, as I was expecting several visits. I pulled Brute off Anne as quickly as possible, but the

damage was already done, Anne had many cosmetic surgeries after that day, but her face will forever be

scared.

Giselle had tried to apologize to Anne and her father, but Zak is as vicious as the Dukes. He demanded

that he should be the one to punish Giselle and Brute. As the head of the family, Zak had that right, and I

couldn’t say no at that time. Giselle went with Zak, and a week later, she was returned to me. As for

Brute, Zak said he escaped and couldn’t be found

No matter how much I insisted, Ciselle never

ver said a word about what Zak did to her. I even ordered her to tell me, but she always broke down

time that I became overprotective of Giselle.

I am sure what Brute did to Anne was an accident, but Stefan has always thought otherwise. Anne has All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

always been sweet and understanding, and she never blamed Ciselle for the attack. She even pleaded

with her father not to harm Giselle.

“Giselle is not to blame for what happened to Anne,” I defend Giselle again.

Stefan shorts, “What about the incident with Emily!”

Giselle was the one to take care of Emily’s meals, and not long after Emily moved in, she got really sick.

The doctor told us it was something she ate. Stefan blamed Giselle, and after, he had been the one to

fred Emily.

“Giselle has already been punished for that. When Emily was better, we found out Giselle tampered with

Emily’s food.

Reyes enters the living room, Angel in his arms. She looks pale, her eyes puffy and red from crying. Dark

purple bruises cover her knees, making me wince internally. That nunt hut. No wonder Reyes is carrying

her. Looking at her knees makes me feel bad for pushing her so hard, but then I remember her being a

wawe of anger hits me as my demon growl, enraged. “The deal was for you to be our woman. If you

think that loose pus sy of yours will compensate for all the trouble you tried to put us in, think again.”

Pain flashed in her eyes. If only she knew how perfect her pus sy felt, how I fantasized about it all day

long, and what I would do to her…..

She tries to protest, but Stefan cuts her short, “Be grateful you are still alive and still our bonded. I would

have killed you not only for barging inside my room but also for touching the ring that belonged to the

love of my life.”

Tears pool inside her eyes, but she looks at us like she hates us. It seems she didn’t learn anything

during her punishment.
