Shackled (The Lord Series)

38. Angel

It should not hurt, but it does. I thought I learned my lesson when I found out about Aleks and Salma.

That day, I promised myself I would never be someone

second best.

Of course, what happened to Emily is absolutely horrible. I can’t even imagine the pain and grief those

who loved her felt after her death. And to be killed in such a tragic way….I wonder how old she was

when she died.

“Just show me where Alekos’s office is,” I insist. “Can I have some coffee? Maybe a toast or two?”

“Breakfast was already served.” Giselle replies as we go to the elevator. “But maybe I can convince Liza

to make somet

I am not sure who Liza is, but I say, “I don’t want lu inconvenience amuna, so if I can use the kitchen,

then I can prepare mix own food.”

Giselle calls the elevator to us. “If Master Alekos finds out you left the Lair wearing only that,” she says

while pointing at my shirt. “and you walked around the house so that anyone could see you, he won’t be

happy, it would be best if 1 brought va the food”

I smule. “Thank you.”

The elevator takes us to the ground floor, close to the intrance

on the computer.

Five years ago, Stefan was engaged to be married. If not for Emily being killed, Alekos would have

already had children. And I would not be here today.

I don’t remember reading anything about Emily’s death. Alekos must have paid a lot of money to the

press, so they wouldn’t publish anything about it. Maybe a search on the dark web will be fruitful.

The computer’s screen turns on.

“F uck you, Alekos, and your st upid password!” I swear when I see that the computer requires a

password.

I stare at the screen for a few minutes, trying to guess his st upid password. During high school, he had

one on his phone, and he never changed it because he was too lazy to memorize a new one. . I type it in

as I still remember it, but it is incorrect. What can it be? An important date or word?

I try Emily, but it is also incorrect.

After various failed attempts, I lean back in the chair and wait for Giselle, who is taking her time to return.

Bored and with nothing else to do, I start snooping around the office. I open the desk drawers, one by

one, curious to see what Alekos is keeping in them. In the bottom one is a black agenda and phone. I

take both.

Thinking that the password might be written in it, I start flipping page after page. Written down is not what

I expect. Names of women Alekos had seen in the past- some of them I recognize from the internet-and

dates and places when he had seen them fill page after page, together with intimate details about them.

Is he keeping a S** journal!

Did he write my name in bere as well?

I go to the last page, but the last miry is of a woman he had started seeing three days ago. The last time

they met was yesterday morning for a quick f uck before work. Reyes joined them as well.

So, he f ucked a woman in the morning, and around noon he was fingering me. I am not sure how to feel

Angry or hurt? I suddenly feel the need to take a shower.

I tum my attention to the plone. It still has a bit of a battery left, and since it does not require a code, I

unlock it. The agenda is clean. Nix emath either. But when I mor the photo album, my jaw drops to the E.

There are thousands of pictures of all the women Alekos, Reyes, and Stefan had been sleeping with.

Patund them while doing S**ual things. Or of the women when n*ked. And there are videos as well.

The room is simply decorated, a queen-stand bed, a desk with a laptop, and a few empty shelves. And a

lot of empty space. Above the bed, on a string, hàng a fem photos. Most of them are of Stefan and a

young woman Emily, I suppose.

Emily had not only been beautiful with long blond hair, blue eyes, and big boobs, but she even had a

gorgeous smile. No wonder Stefan is still not over her. Heck, were a lesbian, I would have dated Emily. I

would have dated her anyway. She looks like one of these bubbly types of people that everyone loves.

There are also photos of Emily with Alekose Keyes. The last one is of all four of them smiling at the

An engagement ring is on the desk, next to a framed photo of Stefan and Emily. I pick up the ring and

study it-my beloved and a date are engraved on the inside.

“Bingo!”

I put the ring back in its place, open the browser, and search for information about Emily. It does not
