After our parents passed away, I was the only one left to care for my 6-year-old twin brothers. My fiancé loves them as if they were his own children, unlike his mother, who hates them. I hadn’t realized how far she was willing to go until the day she crossed the line.
Three months ago, my parents died in a house fire.
I woke up that night to smoke everywhere. I crawled to my bedroom door.
Above the roaring fire, I heard my six-year-old twin brothers calling for help. I had to save them!
I remember wrapping a shirt around the door handle to open it, but after that, nothing.

I pulled my brothers out of the fire myself.
My brain has forgotten the details. All I remember is the sequence of events: I was outside with Caleb and Liam clinging to me while the firefighters fought to control the flames.
Our lives changed forever that night.
Taking care of my brothers has become my priority. I don’t know how I would have managed without my fiancé, Mark.

Mark adored my brothers. He repeatedly told me that we would adopt them as soon as the law allowed it.
The boys liked him too. They called him “Mak” because they couldn’t pronounce Mark correctly when they first met him.
