My hand turns into a fist at the thought, and a renewed sense of hatred for Brian Lucas surges through me. I want to destroy him, not just legally, because I will do that, but physically. No, biologically, I want to rid the planet of his existence, wipe his DNA from humanity’s ledger, obliterate his essence from the cosmos so that when Grayson looks up at the sky, it’s all new. An entire world for her to thrive in that’s untouched by him.
