*Sneak Peek*
Irrevocable: Kade’s Story
I felt sick to my stomach. It hit me the moment I reached the altar as I turned to face the crowd. Anger immediately engulfed me, and it was next to impossible to contain. I stared at him as my nostrils flared and my heart raced.
Robert Archer hadn’t been drinking that night. He was a law-abiding citizen who had fallen asleep at the wheel after working a double shift, but Jenna was killed on impact. If it wasn’t for him, and me, the woman I had thought I’d marry one day would still be alive today.
I wasn’t the only person that blamed myself; Jenna’s parents blamed me too.
Jude tapped my arm, and I looked over at him, my chest still heaving with anger.
“You all right?” he asked.
“No.” It was all I offered him before turning back to face the man that killed Jenna.
I spent the entire ceremony glaring at him as he fidgeted in his seat, trying my best to remember that it was Jett and Quinn’s day. The moment the ceremony ended, he hurried out of the chapel, and I stalked out after him. Outside I cornered him at the side of the building. “Why are you here?” I shouted.
“I was invited,” he stated nervously. His response only made me angrier. He got to live his life. He got to wake up every fucking day and smile, laugh, and feel the sun on his face. But Jenna paid the price for a few extra bucks in his pocket.
I took a step closer until my chest was only inches from his. He stood at my height and he wasn’t a small man, yet he appeared weak and defeated.
“Dad?” I heard from behind me, and my once racing heart hit the fucking ground at my feet. “Is everything okay?”
I took a step back and turned to face Avery. She looked up at me with a confused expression on her face.
“This is your dad?” I asked, hoping I had misunderstood her.
“My stepdad, but yes,” she clarified.
I hung my head and took in a deep breath. No wonder I hadn’t made the connection. Avery still had her biological father’s last name, but the man that took Jenna from me was the man she now called Dad.
