She Belongs to Him Alone

But after today, witnessing Elijah Martinez tearing down the school's bulletin board in defense of Avery, she realized her sister truly had no chance. 

His devotion was unwavering; he would protect her with his life, setting a standard they could hardly hope to match. 

"Taken away? Was it him?" He thought of the night Avery Miller was drunkenly escorted home, only to be abruptly snatched away by that man. Could it really be him?

Elijah Martinez's fists clenched tightly, fury blazing in his eyes. 

This man, if you can't protect her, then you have no right to be by her side. He swore to prevent anyone from harming her again.

"Eli..."

Before Sarah Wilson could say anything, Elijah Martinez turned and walked away. 

Sarah watched his resolute departure, her heart stirred. 

Elijah Martinez was indeed a good man, sadly, deeply smitten with Avery.
