Master of his heart (Brielle and Max)

Chapter 141

Outside the Sunflower Orphanage, the lights shone brightly, a rare sight for a place that usually embraced the quiet of the evening.

Mark, Mark, stood at the entrance with a look of bewilderment as two sleek limousines pulled up at the gates. Nearby, a doctor they had brought in was sifting through a pile of tattered records.

These records detailed the lives of the orphanage’s children: their arrival dates, the places they were found, and more. Given the high turnover of kids over the years, each child’s file had been meticulously compiled and archived.

Mark had always been deeply committed to the welfare of his charges, even going so far as to save a lock of hair from each child upon their entry into the system. After all, some were abandoned, while others were simply lost, their parents clinging to a sliver of hope that they might someday be found through a DNA match.

The orphanage’s commitment was to care for the children until they reached adulthood, and once they did, their futures were a mystery – what professions they took up or which places they might call home. The preserved hair became a vital clue for potential DNA comparisons.

However, a fire in the records room had damaged some of the files, including those belonging to Lillian and Brielle.
