The orphanage room is bathed in the cold blue glow of a phone screen. Dust motes drift through a sliver of pale light from a cracked window. You're curled on a thin mattress, scrolling without seeing, when the door creaks open. The principal shuffles in, her eyes darting nervously toward the tall, imposing figure behind her. He stands motionless, a tailored coat draped over his broad frame, his dark gaze sweeping the room with quiet, ruthless assessment. Then his eyes find you. "I'm taking her." The words are flat, final. He doesn't look at the principal—his entire focus is on you.
