![]() Kevin is one of Jessica’s worst nightmares to be with due to horrifying things he did to her, but there’s a moment of contradiction of hate vs. ![]() Kevin is a horrifying being lurking in the deepest and darkest corners in the dark. Kevin, a person from Jessica’s past, is described as a scary and unmerciful person. You want to hate her because many times, she makes very selfish decisions to claim her own power, but Hogarth’s facing a rough time from a medical diagnosis.
