MARTIN’S POV
From nothing on the streets, Mr. Williams lifted me and gave me a place in the world.
Loyal, valued, and belonging to a family I thought I’d never know. I promised myself I’d never break that loyalty, no matter what Anna did.
But today, just having her in the house challenged me more than I ever expected. I was checking the back security cameras when I saw Anna in the house.
My heart skipped and every instinct screamed that something was about to go horribly wrong.
I grabbed my phone, hands trembling, and called the NYPD. “Someone dangerous is in the house now. Send backup, quick.”
Seconds felt like hours as I waited, eyes flicking to the room where Nicholas and Ava were.
My stomach churned. I had trained for emergencies, for threats but this… this was personal.
