Ch-28

KEAGAN'S POV ~ My eyes narrowed into slits, my jaw clenched, and my teeth ground audibly before I forced a composed expression, turning to my kids. So many emotions and thoughts swirled into my head and I had no idea which to pick. Sylvia was alive and yet they believed she had committed suicide years ago? How was that even possible? "Daddy, are you alright?" Mina's squeaky little voice reached me, and I felt my heart melt. I shook my head and crouched to the ground, while Mina walked toward me and stroked my hair. "Daddy, tell me; I'll make you feel better, I promise." Hearing this, I felt my eyes prick with tears. Those were the exact words I said to my kids whenever they felt sad. Fuck, the way they had my heart in their hands was insane. I pulled Mina into my arms and kissed her head. "Papa is just tired from work. I'll just take a nap, and I'll be rejuvenated," I said, and Mina nodded. I turned my gaze to William, who quickly avoided eye contact, and my chest squeezed with guilt.
