JUDE "Caden's been shot," he informed me. "The incident occurred where Kane Esteban and his daughter resided, but it's owned by the Chandlers, the acting governor of California," Shawn explained. Do I f*****g care who the hell that cursed family hides behind—governor or president? No! They could seek refuge next to the king if the country were a kingdom. I'll tear Kane into a million pieces, even if it means a lifetime in jail. I wouldn't mind. I have nothing to lose. That man robbed me of family, love, and happiness eight years ago—taking my daughter, driving my wife to madness, and almost killing our son. In his recklessness, I lost everything. Now he returns to take the last piece I have left—my dear son, who never had my love and care. Not now, not ever! I won't let it
