She used me against my sister. Does Chas think I was behind this? Oh, God.

“The little brat received exactly what she deserves. Maxie hired men to beat the spirit out of her, and then she signed away her baby. It was perfect. I never wanted to be her stepmother anyway, and I heard she tried to kill herself at Holy Cross. I can only say good riddance. I hope it sticks,” Isabella says derisively.

“Watching the footage of them beating her is the equivalent of porn, Evelyn. I highly recommend it. Maxie is napping because I warned him I’ll be riding him till morning. I just don’t know what’s gotten into my vagina.”

Covering my mouth, I struggle to contain my gag reflex as bile threatens to fill my mouth. I can swallow a cock without issue, but listening to my stepmother get off on my sister’s beating may make me lose my lunch.

Turning quickly, I decide I need to visit Annie’s Adoption Agency to grab their security footage and find out how involved they were in the selling of my niece.

I’m on a fucking warpath, and need to keep Chastity at Holy Cross where Levi and the boys will protect her. Not only is she the sister to the leader of The Locked Souls Society, she’s their Eve. I will stop at nothing to protect her now that I am getting a better understanding of how fucked up her life has been.

I’m done playing it safe. My parents will pay dearly for this, and my grandmother will finally know Chastity has never lied about anything in her past.

An hour later,I’m in my apartment staring at my computer screen in horror as I watch the footage from the Agency. My sister is nineteen-years-old, and these men beat her as if she was a grown man. Levi hasn't told me about any broken bones, but she had a guardian angel watching out for her because they could have killed her.

There’s an older man grinding his pelvis into my sister, and Chastity looks haunted. Has he hurt her in the past? I thought she hooked up with King when she got pregnant, but now… Gagging, I turn and lose the fight with my stomach contents.

Puking into the garbage can by my desk, I’m glad Otto isn’t home right now. He’s a member of The Society, but this information is too sensitive for him to know.

Shuddering, I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand as I watch Isabella waltz into the room and force Chastity to sign the adoption paperwork. I wish there was audio to this because I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing.

Chastity looks destroyed as she speaks to my father, and my blood boils.How dare he do this to her?!Angel is her life, and now she’s gone.

Freezing the frame of the man who held, groped, and terrorized my sister, I screenshot a photo. I will be hunting him down and finding my niece. But now, it’s time to solidify Chastity’s enrollment at Holy Cross.

Pouring myself a shot of whiskey, I take a sip, allowing it to wash away the taste of vomit. Picking up my phone, I connect the call to Levi.

“Sir? I trust you have good news for me? Mother Cross is terrorizing Chastity again with talk of how much safer she’d be at the mental institution,”Levi greets, his voice angry and clipped.

Stopping the video footage on the computer as it threatens to restart from the beginning, I shake my head in disgust. My grandmother is impossible.

“I have news that will help Chastity stay at the school, but I can’t say it’s good. I just watched my baby sister get the shit kicked out of her by thugs my father hired.” I sigh, taking another sip of whiskey.

I may be getting drunk tonight. Fuck it.

“What?”Levi whispers in horror. “There’s recorded footage, Dragon? How could they be so stupid as to let this be recorded?”

“My stepmother enjoys rewatching the beatings,” I explain, closing my eyes against the newest horror in my family’s history. I thought the biggest issue was my sister’s underage pregnancy. Clearly, it’s so much fucking worse.

“I snuck into the house and heard her recounting how she and my father preyed on Chastity’s need to spend time with her daughter, so that they could lure her instead to an adoption agency. My father had a man I don’t know hold my sister while two others beat her savagely. Levi…” My voice trails off as I stare at my sister’s beaten and bruised face.

“Sir?”Levi’s voice is rough. I’m not an idiot, I won’t allow the wool to be drawn over my eyes anymore, when it comes to my sister. I’m fairly certain Levi has some kind of feelings for her.

“They forced her to give up her rights to her daughter, and then they took her. My father and Isabella took everything from her, and so Chas decided to remove herself from a dark and lonely existence. I wouldn’t be surprised if they taunted her the whole time.” I scowl, shaking my head. “I can’t even blame my sister for her actions, but I can help her now. You have to understand that my father has hidden my sister, even from me, for much of her teens. So I believed them when they told me an older man that she was involved with knocked her up.”

Levi scoffs over the line, and I wonder what he knows. “You do not deserve this information, but she told me someone took advantage of her. Do you think this man they told you was the father of her child would take her voice from her and rape her?”

My blood runs cold, and my hands shake as I think about this. King was a bad boy, which is why we all believed the narrative that he was the father. But forcing himself on my sister… never. Fuck.

“No… I don’t. There’s a lot I need to think about before I make my next move, Levi. But for now, I’m emailing you this video to show my grandmother. Tell her that if she doesn’t allow Chastity to stay at Holy Cross, you’ll release this video to the authorities, and tell them she knew this would happen when she authorized her granddaughter to leave the property,” I tell him. “Chastity was released into my grandmother’s supervision when she left the mental institution, which means she’ll be found negligent for Chas’ care, and also an accomplice to my father and Isabella.”

Levi blows out a breath as he processes that. “Yes, Sir. Damn, you’re good. And as for the men who beat the shit out of her, and your parents?” he asks.

“We will find a way to make sure they never have another carefree breath again, and we will remove my younger sister from their care. They told Chastity I was waiting for them inside of the agency, and that it was a restaurant,” I explain angrily. “She never would have gone in there if they hadn’t told her that.”

“Would you like to be on the line when I speak to Mother Cross? She was just talking to one of the doctors about transferring her to the mental institution as soon as possible.”Levi sighs.
