Chapter 1
She’s dead because of me.
My mother is dead.
Dad made sure to remind me that it’s my fault. My fault that I was born into this world, and with that, my mother’s life was taken away from us. I didn’t ask to be here, and if I could trade places, she’d still be here.
I still remember her white-blonde curls reaching her lower back from photos. Her green eyes that smiled for her even when her mouth couldn’t. She was a beautiful woman, one who could have any man she wanted. She chose the man who blames me for her death.
He keeps a photo of mum in his wallet, but he never so much as takes a glance. I love my dad, so why does he hate me so much for something I couldn’t control?
