“I had arranged myself with the situation,” Ranva explained. “I wasn’t happy, but I knew my mother and sister were well taken care of. And that was enough for me. I thought so, at least.

Until… until suddenly there came someone into my life that I loved even more, someone that made me change my mind.”

“Milan,” Henry said.

His mother shook her head, smiling. She reached out to touch his cheek. “You, my little crow.”

Henry looked up to her, surprised by that answer. She looked back at him with eyes soft with affection, gently caressing the side of his face before lowering her hand.

“I was able to accept this life for myself, but I couldn’t stand the thought of my baby having to live it, too. I knew I had to do everything in my might to get out of there. For you.”

She took his hands in hers, holding them close to her heart.

“I loved you from the very first moment I knew you existed, Henry. And I wanted nothing more than to protect you. That was why I left my old life behind. And I didn’t regret it for even a single day.”
