It took all my strength to focus on getting to JoJo without anger toward my ex-wife blinding me. I wanted to take that gun from her hands and use it on her.
Focus, Kane.
I was within range. If she had good aim, she could take me out.
But I wasn’t going to die until JoJo was safe.
“She’s not worth your life.”
“If you’re going to shoot, just do it.”
My lungs heaved as I stormed toward Alma. Pure adrenaline fueled me.
Her finger squeezed the trigger.
A shot popped off.
I charged ahead as if I were invincible.
Metal dinged.
She’d hit something else.
I needed a little more luck. I was so close to the edge. Just a few more steps and I could dive—
Another shot fired.
Something pushed me into the water before I could jump.
Pain bloomed in my back.
As the water loomed beneath me, I scanned for JoJo.
She was nowhere to be found.
CHAPTERTWENTY-EIGHT
JOJO
Drowning was supposedto be one of the most peaceful ways to die.
Whoever wrote that clearly had never had their lungs full of water.
Give in.
The depths of the river beckoned me.
If I stopped fighting, maybe death would be peaceful.
But I had too much to live for.
I thrashed and kicked. Instead of moving toward the surface, I only sank deeper into the water.
A muffledpopcame from above my head.
There was another and then a splash.
I struggled to breathe as the waves jostled me.
