Sad and Mad Kelly's POV

I couldn't ignore him. The fact that he's here without me telling him about my plans means he knew something's going on and he didn't tell me about it.

He stared into my eyes intently, "I'm here to accompany you."

"To where?"

"To your father."

"I don't understand why you had to lie, Klay. But I'm telling you now, I will never forgive you if something happens to my father."

"He doesn't want me to tell you, Kelly. I don't have a choice."

My forehead creased. "Of all people, Klay..."
