am I within my rights my rights of filing a mechanics lien ?

MissouriMechanics Lien

So my brother-in-law was in a contract for deed or so I am told agreement on a house here in Republic Missouri. My mother decides to build a Barndominium. You know just a small little barn dominion in this cool old barn that Amanda and Kevin, which is my sister her boyfriend, fiancé, . So with that being said, I am told that they get to purchase the house from Bryon the owner, which Kevin had flown out there and met with him about purchasing this house. Kevin found it in the first place. Brian was looking for some property to invest in in the agreement I was told was two years rent and then he could purchase it, he just wants to make 12 or 15% on his money I don’t remember which it was I believe it was 15% . So time goes on I’m building this barn dominion you know a couple years ago by and so like you know what’s going on Amanda and Kevin has split. It’s just me and Kevin living out on the farm so we talk about just going ahead and purchasing it between the two of us. And I was told by Gil Brian‘s mount know how if they’re related or not but that Brian would sell it only to Kevin point-blank. And then you fast forward and here we are you know we’ve got 50 to 60,000 and hard money and I have every bit of labor which is easily doubled that that’s how I came up with $120,000 that I am trying to place a lien for because he knew the work was going on. He knew what we were doing yet. Then he decided that he wanted to up the price he didn’t want to sell it. He may be even wanted to put some money in it. Two weeks later he is mad and trying to kick us out and having lawyers serve paperwork to Kevin and everything and it’s just crazy like I have no idea what happened or what changed but the place looked immaculate compared to what I ever did before I promise you it was an absolute shit hole. We literally spent weeks emptying dumpster after dumpster how they’re still at one big pile out there still can get today but you know we had to eventually stop working because we didn’t know what was going on why invest money into something that’s not going to be yours ?
