MAYA POV
ONE WEEK TO CHRISTMAS
I don't care about any of them. I wouldn't normally bother showing up to this stupid party. But it's Gina's engagement day. I bet they'll be shocked to see me here. f**k them all. But for Gina, I would do anything to make her happy.
From the moment Gina was born, she captured my heart completely. I vividly recall the day Mama placed her in my arms. She was so small and precious, her big, curious eyes gazing up at me. In that instant, my heart melted, and I knew I would cherish her forever. Something like love and a fierce need to protect her wound its way around my heart that day.
I rocked her to sleep that day, and swore I would never let anyone, or anything harm her.
She’s getting engaged today! She texted me the address and begged me to please come.
