Ethan noticed the look of dislike in my eyes. His face becred, and he crossed his arms. Then, he smirked as
he looked between Alexander and the girl. Apprehension filled me, and | was scared of what he was planning.
How much more damage could he do tonight?
“Nora,” Ethan said to the girl. “Why don’t you go along with Alexander.” He gently pushed her over to him. “He is
your brother, and he’s going to take good care of you. He toldthat he wants to hang out with you and get to
know you.”
“Yay!” Nora said and clapped. Then, she tried to hug Alexander, but he stepped to the side, not wanting to take
advantage of the girl in her vulnerable position.
“You're sick,” Alexander told Ethan and took my hand, leadinginto the elevator.
Nora followed us into the elevator, smiling up at Alexander. Ethan glared in Alexander's direction, then he spun
around and exited the apartment building.
| stared after him in complete shock. | couldn't believe that he would just leave Nora here to fend for herself.
How heartless was he? For the millionth time, | wondered why | ever agreed to marry him.
Nora tried to hug Alexander again, but | gently took her hands and led her away from him. | needed to
deescalate this situation. A tiredness washed over me. It was sad how familiar | was with cleaning up my
husband's messes. It was something | was well acquainted with,
“Do you have a cell phone to call your parents or your guardian?” |

asked her in a gentle voice. “I think that we should get you hsafely. How does that sound?”
Nora blinked up at me. Her innocent eyes were unfocused, and her head tilted to the side in confusion. “My
momma toldto go with Mr. Iceberg.”
“Mr. Iceberg? Who is...” | trailed off, and my eyes met with
Alexander's. “Ethan,” | said through gritted teeth. “What the hell is he up to?”
“Why would her mother agree to allow her to follow Ethan anywhere?” Alexander asked and shook his head
incredulously. “He was the last guy | would want to accompany my child.”
“What should we do?” | asked. “We can’t just leave her here. It's the middle of the night, and | don’t think Ethan
will cto collect her anytsoon. It isn’t safe for her alone. She could wander outside, too.”
Alexander thought about it for a moment. Then, his eyes sparked when he looked at the button for the top floor.
“We should take her to the property manager's office on the top floor,” Alexander said. “That way, the manager
can contact Ethan to pick her up. Even though I don't like it, if her mother knows that she’s with Ethan, then
that’s who she should stay with.”
I nodded, thinking that this was the right course of action even though I didn’t like it that much either. Putting
her back in Ethan's care felt wrong in so many ways.
We took Nora to the property manager's office. She seemed excited to follow Alexander, which was good
because | didn’t want her running away. Thankfully, the manager was there. He didn’t seem surprised when we
explained the situation to him.
