The Call That Changed Everything
Two days later, my phone rang.
A trembling voice whispered, “Alina? It’s me. Nadira.”
I nearly dropped the phone.
“Where are you? Are you safe?”
Her voice cracked.
“I had to run. He found me again—the baby’s father. He’s dangerous.
I tried to help her, but we got separated. I don’t know if she’s alive.”
I urged her to come back, to talk to the police.
At first, she refused. But finally, she said quietly,
“If you’re with me, maybe I can.”
