Inside the mansion, William personally carried Maya's blue backpack and brown duffel bag up to the sunlit master guest suite.
"This is your bedroom now, Maya; it has a balcony overlooking the gardens and a private study area for your schoolwork," William said gently.
Maya walked into the spacious room, staring at the plush white bed, colorful bookshelves, and warm light streaming through tall windows.
"I don't have to sleep in the basement anymore?" Maya asked softly, her big brown eyes searching William's face with deep vulnerability.
"You will never set foot in that basement again, my sweet girl; this entire house belongs to you," William assured her warmly.
A soft sigh of relief escaped Maya's lips as she hugged her new stuffed bear, feeling safe for the first time in years.
