Chapter 32

• Evelina’s POV
• Maybe I was just over emotional. Or maybe I’d just gone insane. Because not even two minutes ago he’d been admitting how he’d plotted to kill me, and now I was throwing myself at him. But when Gabe shared how he felt about raising another man’s child, he bridged a chasm between me and the man who’d actually raised me. A chasm I’d created all on my own since I’d turned 15. Because my papa’s words had made me thinking that maybe Kyle was bound by duty, not by love. Why else would he bully a man into staying away from his biological children?
• To know that wasn’t the case at all was like lifting a huge weight off my chest I hadn’t even known existed until it was gone. And then this man before me, going on about how he’d raise a child who wasn’t biologically his…almost in the same manner that Kyle had raised us…it did things to me.
