Legal Question in Business Law in Louisiana

Are the shares rightfully mine

My brother owns an oilfield company. While working for him a man that owned ten percent of his company quit and wanted to sell back the ten percent. The company loaned me the money to buy the ten percent. I never started paying back on it, I figured it would be payed back by my brother as a bonus. I had the stock certifacates in my name. He took them back and said I don't own them any more. What are my rights.
