The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 2620

If it weren't for Victoria clinging to Balfour, she would have never been entangled in this kidnapping mess. Her father had only been taken by those thugs because he was trying to save her. It was all her own damn fault!

"What did I say that was so wrong? If she weren't harboring other intentions for you, why would my dad be lying here? Why aren't you doing anything to save him!"

Balfour remained silent, unsure how to explain that there was nothing more than friendship between him and Victoria.

"The ambulance is on its way, and we've done all the first aid we could for your father. I'm sorry."

Captain Aidan turned away, his heart heavy as those two kids watched their father lying on the ground, unable to provide any better emergency care. It was a lapse they all felt deeply.

Mara was beyond arguing, kneeling on the ground, crawling to her father's side, her cries piercing the silence.

Yet, in her heart, she was filled with grievances.

Dad, oh Dad, why didn't you listen to me? It's always been like this, for Victoria's sake, you'd even sacrifice your own life. Am I not your daughter too? Is it because Victoria bears a closer resemblance to Mom?

Mara was heartbroken and filled with regret. Why wasn't it Victoria on the ground instead of their dad?

If the world insisted on taking one of her loved ones, she wished it would be Victoria, not him.

Mara thought Victoria so wretched, undeserving of life.
