Possession (Bonetti Bastards #2)

Chapter 1

CHAPTER ONE

KILLIAN

Emptiness.

Guilt.

Regret.

Two people are gone, and I have no one to blame but myself.

I did this.

Dropping to my knees, I stare at the spot where she died. The blood is fading—this is all I have left of her.

Dozens of roses are scattered on the ground, all in varying stages of decay.

I left them all.

A purple rose for every day that has passed since I killed her.

A life taken too soon.

By me.

It’s not just her though. I’ve lost my brothers too.

I assume Carter is also dead, but I can’t know for sure because Knox won’t speak to me. Alive or dead, they are done with me.

Before he walked away, Knox said, “Sometimes brothers do say goodbye.”

Five simple words that fucking destroyed me. My brothers are my entire world, and his words are gut-wrenching, made worse by the memory of Carter in the hospital on death's door.

It was my responsibility to take care of my brothers. It’s always been that way. Even when Carter was taken, I always had Knox.

I was born a triplet. I don’t know how to be alone. And yet, here I am.

What I’ve done is unforgivable.

This is my penance—to wander around the earth without them. Carter, Knox, and Heather are gone.

My heart is shattering.

The all-consuming pain is all that remains.
