Chapter 1

• Lena Maxwell, is a beautiful woman with a humble heart, she is on the best day of her life, contracting the sacred marriage with the man she loves deeply.
• She is beautiful and radiant in her wedding dress; she is anxiously waiting for the question that is most exciting for her.
• "Lena Maxwell, do you accept Alexander, to love and respect him, until death do you part? "
• "He accepted!" she said with a big smile; she turns to look at her fiancé very excitedly.
• "Alexander Benavides, do you accept Lena...?" The father has been interrupted, by a woman who protests with anger and suffering.
• Lena's heart stops for seconds, hearing the woman's words, she turns as if in slow motion to look at her.
• "Alexander!" Why are you going to marry that woman if you don't love her, you do love me, I'm pregnant and my son deserves to have his father! and you cruel woman are being an impediment," the woman unknown to Lena, points to her very sulfurous.
• Lena looks at her fiancé's lover, with a belly for about 4 months, all this time she was cheating on her.
• "What did you say?" were the only words Lena could utter, and then she turned to look at her fiancé.
• But he very scoundrel does not utter a word, so Lena looks at the woman again, and then at the people who cheat on her according to the best day of life, to her misfortune her parents, who have made her life impossible, are looking at her with disappointment, so Lena is feeling panic.
• "Please tell me what's not true!" Lena approaches her fiancé and shakes him to get him to answer her.
• But the man in the suit just bowed his head in embarrassment, and in front of the guests and the father, he didn't care about Lena's feelings, because he approached the pregnant woman, immediately took her by the hand giving her priority.
• Lena opens her eyes as if the accounts were going to come out, and then they become tearful, and tears begin to slide down her cheeks, showing her pain.
• "I'm sorry Lena," Alexander whispered, "the reason why I was going to marry you, it was to have a child, not because I love you, but this woman already has my heir in her womb, it was a mistake to think of marrying you, I'm sorry."
• "You deceived me all this time!" In such a sacred place, you ask me to forgive your betrayal!? Are you serious?" Lena feels her heart shatter; she's even breathing hard.
• Lena hears people murmuring, and worst of all, her parents approach her very upset.
• "You're a disgrace!" her mother slapped her in front of the entire audience.
• "You've lost a good match and all because you didn't give him a child!" her father points out.
• Lena caresses her sore cheek, and with uncontrollable crying, she watches as her fiancé leaves with his lover.
• Tired of hearing her parents' complaints and the murmurings of the guests, Lena makes the decision to leave, but her eyes are so full of tears that she couldn't see the way. She dropped the bouquet indignantly and was about to walk away when she fell heavily to the floor because the heels were too heavy. She got up with great difficulty and ran out of the church, but one thing could not be more humiliating, and that is to see her fiancé kissing his lover.
• "Damn lies, I won't trust a man in my life again!" she swore to herself.
• For her, that feeling of love is kept in a locked chest, where it will be difficult for a man to have that access.
• It's been 10 years since that fatal experience for Lena. Although she is low-income, she was an excellent student and excelled to graduate with honors as a professional surgeon.
• But her parents do not stop demanding that she must get a husband and form a home, she flatly refuses to have a man by her side.
• Now the woman is 33 years old and made the decision to want to have a child.
• "Miss Lena?" asks the sick woman.
• Lena stands up, although she is a little nervous, she will not know if her choice will be able to work out – please follow.
• Upon entering the office, Lena is greeted by Dr. Jones.
• "Miss Lena, I have excellent news for you, you are qualified for artificial insemination," I emphasize again, a small percentage is not sure of its effectiveness.
• "I'm glad to hear that, doctor, please, it doesn't matter how my baby is going to do, as long as he's handsome," Lena smiles, "all I really want is for him to be healthy.
• —Don't worry, now what we must do is schedule the appointment to perform the insemination Days later...
• "Mom, I'm busy right now," Lena tries to evade her mother, who is already in her 70s.
• "Daughter, don't be selfish, I'm calling you to find out, how are you?"
• "Good," he replies unimportantly, and turns on the coffee maker.
• "Perfect!" Your father saw a blind date website on the internet, there you can meet your better half.
• "Is it really mom?" What kind of parents do I have? That's crazy! I refuse to do so.
• "It's crazy that you're single at 33 years old!" Do you plan to stay alone all your life? Or do you think that in your old age, a man is going to check you?" Mrs. Maxwell speaks aloud.
• "As I say, I'm a very busy mother, I'll talk to you later" Lena hangs up the call leaving her mother even more furious.
• Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell, with infertility problems, adopted Lena 30 years ago, by then Lena was an abandoned baby, in an orphanage so no one knew who her biological parents were.
• But living with the Maxwells was hell, she never received that love from a mother and protection from a father, therefore, when she turned 18, she made the decision to be independent, because being so young she received a scholarship at the most important medical university in her country, although for her parents it was something insignificant, For her it was a great opportunity which she did not miss because she became a successful surgeon After the wedding that marked her life, Lena's life is not so interesting, in fact the only thing that makes her feel fulfilled is her profession, so one of the reasons why she decides to be a mother is because she feels qualified with her salary and her age of maturity to have such a great responsibility.
• Artificial insemination day.
• Lena returns home, she just wants everything to go well, she even thinks about taking a little break, a few relaxing days, since her profession as a surgeon is heavy. But that inner peace fades when you enter your apartment.
• "What are you doing here?" asks Lena without much encouragement, although she loves and thanks her adoptive parents very much, she is bothered by the fact that they want to make decisions about her life and what she needs currently is tranquility.
• "You're going to love this, daughter, we made the decision to come and live in Manhattan. Isn't that great?
• "What!?" Lena makes a gesture of amazement, she knows what is coming to her.
• "It's to make sure that if you're looking for a husband, your father will give you a hand, what is that you have in your hands?" Mrs. Maxwell snatches the lab card from him.
• Lena tried to grab it but her mother is very bold.
• "Lena!" exclaims her mother opening her eyes wide, the lady with disgust extends the proof to her husband, he hurriedly reads the file.
• "Unacceptable Lena!" How dare you do that?" her father's growl makes her feel stressed "Enough, you two!" she interrupts her parents' scolding. "I live my life as I please!" I'm sick of you guys wanting to manage my life all the time! For the first time I'm happy and all they do is ruin my day "You are beautiful and professional, you could have had a stable relationship with a surgeon or a handsome man from your medical circle, even if you had socialized at least with the middle class, but you have completely lost with this nonsense, tomorrow who will propose to you with a child?" No one does! You've missed out on the opportunity to have a wonderful and prestigious home.
• "It's incredible that you tell me that, mother, you know that..." they are at home" Lena went to her room, the woman is devastated by the strong words that her mother did not measure when she said them.
• But Lena's parents do not leave her alone, they go after her insisting.
• "Lena, you have to get married; your father and I are old and God knows how much longer we can be with you and help you..." You need a man by your side to take care of you for decades and raise a child, you can't do it alone, you leave the child without a Father Lena, you are going to suffer a lot without a partner we are doing this for your good. For God's sake, listen to your parents!
• "Daughter, you choose to leave your son without a father and you are not fair to the child.
• They have not succeeded in intimidating Lena and are trying to educate her by trying to What?
• Lena can't take it anymore; what kind of parents can blackmail their own daughter emotionally like this?
• She makes the decision not to take that break and go to work, now that her parents have made the decision to live near her, they are going to be suffocating her with the issue of a husband.
• She packs what she needs and when she leaves her room, her parents are murmuring about her, so she shakes her head and passes by without saying a word.
• When she leaves her apartment, she breathes peace again.
• Lena enters the clinic in low spirits, the words of her parents haunt her head like stormy slavery.
• Only one thing moved Lena, and that was the fact that her son would have no father.
• 《But... I can be a father and a mother at the same time... Still, I don't intend to find another man.》She said to herself determinedly.
• The woman is deep in thought, but then something caught her attention, all over the emergency entrance, auxiliary nurses are pulling a seriously injured man out of the ambulance.
• Nurse Natalia is covered in blood, to help the injured.
• Natalia looks at Lena, but she can see her with her lost gaze, so Lena lands contemplating the seriousness of the matter, she nodded and immediately ran to the operating room to change her clothes, the case is urgent and she had to save this man's life.
• The man is dragged on the gurney to the surgical emergency room.
• When he is close, he can see that this man is very handsome despite the situation he is in, but he shakes his thoughts and prepares to attend to the emergency.
• Lena prepares for surgery after having carried out a quick inspection, that room became a very critical moment, since the man is between life and death, due to a car accident, which left fractures throughout his body, up to the pelvis, so Lena immediately applies anesthesia to proceed with the surgery.
• At that moment, the man under that general anesthesia, tends to see beautiful jewel-green eyes, perhaps because he was delirious, or a dream, but those beautiful eyes so intense, caught his attention and more because the face of that woman is the same as that of the woman he loves.
• And for that alone, he felt that he longed to see her again, as a reason for encouragement not to stop fighting for his life.
• After hours in which Lena did everything possible, together with her work team she managed to save the man's life, but she felt sorry for him, for the conditions in which he was left.
• What Lena does not know, is that this man is the CEO Cristhofer Di Monti, he fell into the hands of his worst rival, who out of revenge for having managed to close a successful deal planned to cut the brakes of the car, causing that very serious accident on the main road on the outskirts of the city.
• After the surgical process, Cristhofer receives a visit from his parents, who were in great anguish to lose the life of their only and beloved son.
• When she enters the ICU room, she is in a deep sleep.
• Mrs. Di Monti looks at her son with melancholy, she and her husband have been looking for suitors who fit their family status, but the CEO has flatly refused his parents' request, because Cristhofer's heart treasures a girl that is impossible to have.
• "A leave of absence, Mr. and Mrs. Di Monti, I need to finish filling in the patient's information," nurse Natalia speaks kindly.
• "What's wrong with my son!" asks Mrs. Di Monti, the woman has a strong temper, even more than that of her husband, which is why she always speaks in a demanding manner.
• The nurse is aware that the news she must give will not be taken calmly, as has happened in other cases.
• "Mr. Cristhofer Di Monti, he has lost most of his fertility.
• "You're lying!" interjects Cristhofer's father.
• "I'm sorry, Mr. Di Monti."
• "Shut up, you bastard!! You tell me at this moment, who did the surgery? Because I'm sure this is a medical error," Mrs. Di Monti gets upset, it's distressing that her son won't be able to give an heir.
• "It was... Dr. Lena Maxwell.
• "My son will not be sterile; I demand that that label "Doctor" be fired from this clinic!!
• "I'm sorry, Mrs. Di Monti, but..." Dr. Maxwell is the best at this hospital.
• "Are you questioning my orders?" I demand to speak with the director of the hospital! I'm going to sue that insolent doctor for leaving my son sterile.
• At that moment Cristhofer Di Monti regains his senses, and I clearly hear "sterile". When she opened her eyes, she thought she would meet those beautiful jewel-green eyes, but it is not like that, she runs into her sad reality.
• "Where am I!" he whispers, barely awake, and his body is totally weak, he even has a hard time speaking.
• "Here we are honey, don't worry about anything.
• "The car... The brakes—Cristhofer speaks with difficulty.
• "Don't make an effort, my son, I've already ordered a thorough investigation," his father Alonso approaches, for him, his son is everything.
• The man tried to move, but found his entire body immobilized, covered in plaster and bandages, he couldn't move at all.
• "Don't worry, darling, I'm sure what they did was harm your health, this is not going to stay like this, and you, go," Mrs. Di Monti points out to nurse Natalia.
• "I ask your permission" the patient leaves with her gaze fixed on the ground, since the attitude of the elderly woman is becoming more and more cruel, and she cannot bear that.
• "I heard what you were saying, I don't mind being barren, I was lucky to get my life back. -- says the CEO firmly.
• "What!?" That concern on the part of his father disappeared, anger was what increased, but because of his son and his little surrender of responsibility for the family in giving an heir "Son, don't talk that way, you must comply with giving an heir for the future of this family.
• Cristhofer sinks into his thoughts, the man wants to marry the woman he loves, but unfortunately she is already in holy matrimony although he does not lose hope that the woman of his dreams will return.
• "You're delirious about the s***** Anesthesia!" Mr. Di Monti grunted.
• "My dear, our son is not quite well yet, we will find a solution, we will make that surgeon pay for her lack of professionalism.
• On the other hand, Lena is in her office and nurse Natalia enters with an expression on her face of concern.
• "What's going on, Natalia?" he asks, putting aside the brown folder where he was looking at a small piece of information about the patient Di Monti "Boss, what happens is that the parents of the man you saved his life are furious.
• They say that you did the job badly, how unpleasant they are, when what you did was save the life of the CEO, they say that they want to talk to the owner of the hospital.
• "Why?" Is the patient awake?
• "Because your son is now sterile."
• "But the patient was resuscitated after his family signed an informative consent for the operation, they should be perfectly aware that there were risks, so what are they asking for now?" Lena frowned.
• "I don't know. Really Lena I feel sorry for you, you were in the operating room for more than ten hours straight. The whole time you were resuscitating that patient. Lena, I'm worried, they're in a bad mood, I don't know what they're going to do.
• "Stop worrying Natalia, even if they are in a bad mood, they have to follow the rules, they should complain about me, I hope so, that's the problem with running into millionaire people, if that's how parents are, I imagine the CEO when he sees me, he can be very handsome despite his condition and be the most fearsome CEO, but I am not going to leave him or anyone else
