The rain began to fall harder, lashing down on the slicker he wore over his deputy’s uniform.
He was alone in his grief. And now, without Rebecca, he was alone in the world.
Because of them.
How could everything go so wrong so quickly? He’d finally met someone he could care about, someone he did care about for the first time in his life, and they were set to make a life together. The plan had been perfect. They were going to start fresh, both of them, a whole new life together, funded by that little shrew’s money. Taking it from her hadn’t troubled his conscience in the slightest. If anything, it was poetic justice.
Georgie Grady was a Colton. She owed him. They all did. But instead of he and Rebecca living happily ever after, now he was going to have to live unhappily ever after without her. All because of that bitch and that man she had staying with her.
Well, they were going to pay. They all were. Pay for his growing up without a father, pay for his growing old without Rebecca. Someway, somehow, he was going to get them all. Especially the Senator. Because it was his fault at bottom.
Adam swore it in his heart.
It gave him a reason to live.
