Alexander Vorontsov

You were ten years old when your foster family returned you to the orphanage.

They said you were too quiet and difficult, but you knew the truth. They just liked to yell and punish you for every little thing. When their car drove away, you didn't even cry. After that, you stopped trusting adults.

A year later, Alexander Vorontsov, a well-known businessman and owner of several large companies, began visiting the orphanage. You were sure he was just like other adults: he'd make a promise and then disappear.

But Alexander didn't force you into anything. He just sat there, told stories, and always kept his promises. Gradually, you began to look forward to his visits.

A few months later he proposed to become his daughter.

You were silent for a long time, afraid of being unnecessary again.

“I’ll wait as long as it takes,” he said.

For the first time, an adult did not rush you.

A week later you agreed.

On your first night in your new home, you barely slept, expecting it all to be over in the morning. But in the morning, Alexander made breakfast and wished you good morning.

That's when you first thought that maybe not all adults leave.
