Chapter 1
- London.
- Central Hospital in London.
- "I'm scared, James!" his beloved clings to his tie, pulling hard for the contractions that indicate her baby is about to be born.
- "Calm down honey, you're a strong woman" James encourages him knowing how complicated the birth will be, since he had a private conversation with the doctor where she left him on notice that the baby may die.
- "Promise me, James, swear you'll take care of our son if he ever dies.
- "What do you say, woman?" Everything will be all right, be positive.
- "Ahhhh...! — lets out a piercing scream.
- "My wife is suffering because of that baby!" he growled, feeling frustrated.
- "Sir, it's part of the process..." The nurse interjects.
- "Shut up! You're just a nurse, I'm asking for the doctor's presence," James orders with that arrogance that characterizes him.
- "I know you're getting ready, Mr. Drown," the nurse has the patient ready.
- James is very worried. Olivia is suffering, beads of sweat slide down her forehead and bleeding in her private part is present. "Damn!" exclaims James when he sees the bloodstain on the white sheet.
- The nurse, noticing the situation, immediately runs off in search of the doctor. "Don't leave me, Olivia, please," he pleas, for he has struggled to keep their relationship a secret, because his father, Mr. Brown, wants to force him to marry a woman of status.
- "Take care of our baby, please," she stammers, worrying James even more.
- "Olivia, stay with me!" he pats her cheeks lightly to keep her from closing her eyes.
- At the right moment, the doctor enters, and everything becomes chaos, where James Brown was taken out of the room to proceed with the delivery.
- His best friend approaches, seeing him from the waiting room.
- "Pay attention to what I'm going to tell you, Samuel, if Olivia dies, I want you to close this hospital.
- "James, take it easy, a lot of people depend on this hospital" Samuel knows perfectly well that James is capable of closing the hospital, of bringing it to ruin.
- But James doesn't answer, he rambles in thought, he didn't want to be a father, Olivia's pregnancy was an oversight on her part, but since he loves her so much because she has shown him that she loves him and that she is not interested, he agreed to be a father and not point fingers at her after they had agreed to an agreement.
- About 3 hours pass, and James is unsettling about not hearing from Olivia, so he enters the room without caring about breaking the rules.
- You can see how two nurses are tending to the baby. "Olivia...!" — his heart stops not seeing her with his eyes open.
- "Sir, you can't be here!" the doctor approaches, but James pushes her slightly.
- "Olivia!" he exclaims and begins to move her.
- "Mr. Brown, the young lady passed away, you knew how risky your pregnancy was, I did my best.
- "What's possible?" he asks under his breath and places his right hand on Olivia's heart where he doesn't feel her throbbing and it's slowly killing him.
- "The baby needs you," the doctor is worried.
- James, seeing that he has lost everything, left the room, he wanted the earth to open up and swallow him, he wanted to end the whole world.
- Samuel, seeing the sadness on his face, knows that something very serious has happened, but he remains silent as he follows him.
- Upon leaving the hospital. "End the doctor's career and shut down this damn hospital.
- "But James—"
- "But nothing!" he shouted loudly at his best friend, drawing the attention of the people around them.
- James drives off in his Ferrari at high speed, he needs to be alone, he doesn't like to be seen crying.
- "Excuse me, sir," the nurse approaches, calling Samuel's attention.
- "Who are you?"
- "I'm the nurse, Charlotte Hill's
- "What do you want?" Samuel analyzes her quickly.
- "Sir... I'm looking for Mr. Brown, the doctor needs to talk to him, since Miss Olivia, passed away, the baby is healthy, it's a miracle, but he needs a lot of attention, the warmth and affection of his father, it's important when he's a newborn create a bond so that the baby doesn't feel alone— Charlotte spoke with such sadness that Samuel stares at her
- "I'll pay you very well, if you'll take care of the child while my boss, Mr. Brown, is calmer.
- "Sir, it's my job to take care of newborn babies, besides, I do it with a lot of love, I don't need you to pay me, what I want is for the father to get close to the baby, the poor thing is not to blame for what happened.
- "You're going to need the money, because this hospital is going to close.
- "What...?"
- "James ordered it, so you'll be out of a job, if you take care of the baby, you'll have a good amount of money.
- "But why would the gentleman do such a thing?" This hospital also benefits the poor, and many of us would be left unemployed. Who does Mr. Brown think he is to do something so horrible?
- "Who do you think you are?" Don't you know who he is," she shakes her head, "James Brown, he's the all-powerful man here in London," Samuel rushes to take money out of his wallet, "here you go," he grabs her right hand and hands her the money, leaving her even more perplexed, speechless, "take care of that baby," Samuel leaves and she feels a lump in her throat, Are you ever sure that rich people don't have hearts?
- When she reacts, Samuel is gone, and she thinks about the baby, so she runs off to give the baby the warmth he needs.
- 3 days later...
- "Please baby, don't cry!" Charlotte tries to calm him down, "they're going to take us out into the street," she gets scared when she hears a loud knock on the door.
- With his trembling legs he opens the door and is the owner of the seedy building. "Get out of my building!" he orders arrogantly.
- "Mr. Thomas, please take pity on me, I have a baby who needs to at least be safe.
- "Shut that brat down!" You're cheeky, you're a month's rent behind! My tenants are complaining about that brat's crying, I warned you.
- "Please, Mr. Thomas, have mercy, you were a child too, and you have perhaps grandchildren or nephews, I have nowhere to go, I promise you that next week I will pay you everything..."
- "No! Right now, you're getting off my property!
- Charlotte looks at the baby, who cries at the top of his lungs and then she couldn't help but cry as she felt cornered.
- James Brown's mansion.
- "James, I understand your pain, but you can't go on like this, you didn't even want to go see the baby, if you don't go get him, then they'll take him to a foster home, give him up for adoption.
- "That baby is to blame for Olivia's death!"
- "How can you think like that?" It's a baby, James! Reacts! What if the press gets to know about this? Society is going to despise you.
- James ignores him and Samuel runs his right hand over his face because of the anguish he feels at closing that hospital.
- "I keep thinking that you don't, no one is to blame for what happened" Samuel insists and James turns to look at him with a cold temper.
- "Who's the boss?" Who is the CEO? The powerful man?
- "You are, James..."
- "And you're my employee, so don't disobey my orders," he growled under his breath, squeezing the expensive glass tightly, where he's drinking whiskey. "Call Attorney Kinsey, and tell him to ruin that hospital, because I can't tolerate that hospital still running, yesterday I buried Olivia, and they're still working, close that damn hospital right now!" James throws the glass forcefully at the large painting that decorates the house. room, is a very expensive one from a well-known painter.
- "Se-sir..." The elderly maid approaches quickly.
- "What do you want, Mrs. Mandy?" he asks arrogantly.
- "Excuse me for interrupting, but..." Out there is a young lady who is looking for him urgently.
- "I'm not for anyone!" he raises his voice.
- "Mrs. Mandy, whoever is looking for you, tell her that Mr. Brown is indisposed.
- "Mr. Samuel, that's what I told the lady, but she insisted, and said that she doesn't plan to leave until she is taken care of, she has a baby in her arms.
- James glares at Samuel. "Baby?" whispers Samuel
- "Yes, Mr. Samuel, and you look very worried, what am I doing, Mr. Brown?" Mandy looks worriedly at her boss.
- "Let him go!! James orders
- "I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, but—" The lady said that if you don't attend to her, she will come every day, she says that you must assume your responsibility.
- "I'll get that shit over with!" James walks steadily toward the exit
- "James, wait... Samuel approaches to stop him, but too late, James has already opened the door.
- Charlotte has her back turned, looking at the main garden, she has never seen such a beautiful one, she wishes she could have peace in her complicated life, and although she wants to help the baby, it complicates her because she is poor and has no way to support the baby, since the money that Samuel gave her three days ago, went in expenses for the baby.
- "What part don't you understand that you're getting out of here?" James Brown's voice caused an electric current to run t
- hrough Charlotte's body, which paralyzed, and she doesn't know whether to turn and look him in the eye.
