My One Regret by Claudia Y. BurgoaMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
1 ⭐- Ugh! Didn't like it or triggers or pet peeve!
Our heroine was discarded as trash and thrown out of the hero's life.
I did not like his attitude and she's a fool.
His daughters and ex-wife cause drama and separation.
I could not forgive him and his eldest daughter.
Meh!
Just earlier I was getting a mani-pedi with his daughters, Hannah and Tess. For the first time, I believed that things were going to settle with them. They had finally accepted me.
The only thing I know is that I kept pouring out love, hoping that one day it would be enough. But it’s over.
Three years of loving her, caring for her as if she were my own doesn’t count. I’m still nobody.
“My children are my life. My reason to exist. Their wellbeing matters more to me than anything in the world.” More than me, I finish what he can’t say.
His children will never accept me. His ex will always poison them against me.
Alicia was right. He has a family, you’re just an intruder passing through.
“You’re the love of my life,” he murmurs close to my ear. “My perfect half. But I can’t put my children in danger.”
Booze was my closest companion until my ex-wife used it against me to take my daughters away. That sobered me up for a while.
My ex had been a hardcore groupie, and I was too young and only cared about getting pussy. The joke was on me when I learned that I’d knocked her up.
“I learned my lesson. I won’t marry anyone just because there’s a kid. In fact, I’m debating having a vasectomy.”
“Hmm, never thought about sending flowers when I cheated.” Sadie came to a complete stop and glared at me. “You’ve cheated?”
“Would it make it better if I said that Alicia did it first—with one of my bandmates?”
“If you don’t love someone, you call it quits before you hurt them. Taking the eye for an eye defense doesn’t make it any better.”
“Sometimes I’m the one who has to leave because the other person is hurting me.”
“I love you,” I confessed, releasing the three words I had never told a woman. “Kade,” she whispered, her arms wrapped around my back. “You don’t have to say that.” “But I mean it,”
But the fear of losing Tess the same way that I lost my sister blinded me. Alicia’s threats to take away my daughters made me react.
Alicia took a step forward and slapped Sadie. “You killed her!”
The moment you decided to push Sadie away and deal with your family, you told her—” “That she wasn’t family.” “Exactly, and that your daughters were yours to deal with—not hers. Sadie tried her best to be a friend, a stepmother.
You’re asking a woman who just had a little chat with the Grim Reaper herself to welcome the spawns of Satan back into her life.” “They are my kids too.”
