Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: Vera

Vera POV:

Working at an orphanage is very taxing especially during rainy days like now; going around making sure that no children are out in rain, ensuring that none of them catch a cold and keeping an eye on everything so that the children won't get any chance to cause trouble after being being cooped up for so long.

Before she could decide her next course of action the rumbling thunder urged her to quickly take the baby and the trunk inside. Immediately after getting inside I called a few older children to carry the trunk to my office, only after I made myself comfortable in the chair did I take a good look at child in my arms it was a truly beautifull child with mesmerizing and almost intelligent blue eyes that makes one get lost in them .
