I woke up before the sun even thought of rising. The room was silent, the kind of silence I had grown used to in my life.. Except this time, the silence wasn’t cold. It was warm. That tiny body was curled up beside me, legs tangled with mine like she was part of me.. Mara. My little maid. My disaster and my peace.
She was still asleep, face peaceful, lips parted slightly as her breath rose and fell in a soft rhythm. I gently shifted her off my hand, careful not to wake her. She stirred a bit, mumbling something, but didn’t wake. I stood from the bed, pulled on a shirt, and grabbed my phone before walking out of the room.
The house was quiet as I moved down the hallway, entering my study and shutting the door behind me. I called Kane immediately.
"Boss," he said quickly.
