Chapter 2
- "I'm talking to you!" James' demanding voice caused a racing throb in Charlotte's poor heart, which slowly turns where her gaze is fixed on James' chest, because he is tall, while she is a small girl.
- Charlotte's gaze slowly rises as her lips are parted; her sea-blue eyes fixed on James' cool gray eyes.
- Charlotte blinks, James Brown, looks like a prince, so handsome, like the Greek god of her dreams, an unattainable man with such a perfect face and she couldn't help but look at his lips and feel that thirst for you to touch his.
- Charlotte looks him in the eye again, to contemplate that this man is looking at her without even blinking and it is as if he undresses her with his gaze, James had never seen a girl with brown skin with blue eyes like her.
- But that deep look disappeared when the baby began to cry. "Get out of my presence!?" — James, hearing the baby's cry, resumes his arrogant character
- "Excuse me, Mr. James..."
- "Mr. Brown!" he commands, "I don't want to hear that baby cry!"
- "But..." It's his son lord.
- "Shut up your words!" he points out coldly "Samuel, give this woman money and let her go, I don't want to see her again, and even less that baby" James, still hearing the baby's cry, turns around to enter the house.
- "I'm not leaving here!" she dares to say, but when she sees that she stops, her legs look like jelly, she felt like she was going to fall when she saw that the man turned and looked at her again.
- "James, the best thing is for us to go in and talk about this matter," Samuel advises, "someone from the press can see us, you are an impeccable man, and this can get you into trouble, excuse me Miss Hill's, please enter the mansion.
- James had no choice, his friend is right, therefore, he enters the mansion. "Go on, please, come with me," Samuel asks very politely, causing confidence in Charlotte, who enters while trying to calm the baby.
- "Don't cry honey, everything's going to be alright, I'll protect you from that evil man" whispers Charlotte, but James' hearing is very well developed, so that makes him even angrier.
- Samuel guides Charlotte until she reaches the large office that dazzled her blue eyes, she is a lover of reading books and just a glance she could see interesting and expensive books that are out of her reach.
- James enters the office, but in his right hand he holds a glass of whiskey and then takes a seat on his throne, where he keeps looking at Charlotte and she is already intimidated.
- "I don't want to hear that baby's cry" James drank the drink thoroughly.
- "He's hungry..." it's the last thing I have left to feed him" Charlotte takes the bottle out of the diaper bag "Justin, don't cry baby please" Charlotte rushes to feed him, but the poor thing is shaking with nerves knowing that this man is staring at her intensely.
- Samuel makes his throat ring, even his forehead began to sweat, he knows how hard it is to convince James.
- When Charlotte pulls the blanket back from the baby's face, James feels a twinge in his chest, the baby is identical to him.
- "How much do you want?"
- Charlotte looks at him again but lowers her gaze quickly.
- "I'll give you a large sum of money and I want you to disappear from my life, take that child with you.
- James' contempt causes Charlotte to be angry. "How can you say something so cruel?" The baby needs you; you are the father of the child.
- "Don't you know who you're talking to?" she swallows thickly, but she thinks James's behavior is unfair.
- "Even if you're a CEO, Mr. James Brown, that doesn't give you the right to despise your own child, and even if you take a liking to baby Justin, it's up to you to take responsibility and not leave him to chance by offering your money, the baby doesn't need riches, he needs you, his father, to hug him and give him your warmth, It's unbelievable that the baby is so small and has a lot of strength and wants to live, but he needs you, I can't do much, I'm a normal girl of only 22 years old who was starting out as a nurse, and because my heart is good don't leave the baby to his fate, Miss Olivia..." James threw the glass of whiskey against the wall, the mention of Olivia makes him become the devil himself
- Charlotte became so excited that the bottle fell to the floor and the baby began to cry again.
- "James, please!" exclaims Samuel as he approaches Charlotte, who looks like a cornered and frightened bunny.
- "You have no right to mention that name!" she says as she stands in front of her, where her cold gaze leaves a trail of intimidation, "if you don't want that baby to be left alone, then you'll be his replacement mother
- "What...?" — The girl feels nervous, anxious, no matter how much she tries to control her emotions, her heart was beating fast as if it were going to burst out of her chest
- "Samuel, take care of everything!" orders James and leaves, leaving Charlotte with the word in her mouth.
- James goes to his room, where he can be alone and not listen to anything, he needs inner peace and to think things through. He reaches out to grab the bottle of whiskey, and it's still halfway through, so he starts drinking while looking at Olivia's photo, one he'd taken of him in Paris.
- > James remembers his beloved's words.
- But as much as he wants to calm down, he let out a heart-wrenching scream where no one can hear him, due to the soundproofing of the room that allows him to have total privacy.
- He closes his eyes feeling indignant, he feels that this baby is to blame for Olivia's death, but for reasons inexplicable to the CEO, the spitting image of Charlotte with the baby in her arms comes to his mind.
- He opens his eyes wide and feels his blood boiling, he wants to kill and eat the dead man, so he drank a long sip of whiskey until he felt his throat burn and thought about how Charlotte Hill's couldn't stand living with him and so accept the money of her own free will and leave with the baby where he could never see them again.
- "Please, miss, don't cry," Samuel mentally curses for the situation James left him in.
- "How can he be so cruel?" What is the baby's fault? I'm 22 years old! I have not been a mother, the only knowledge I have about motherhood is what I received in my studies, but I have never had the experience of raising a baby. I don't understand why Mr. Brown behaves this way; the baby is an innocent little angel.
- "Miss Hill's, I beg you to take a deep breath, and let me speak to my boss, Mr. Brown, to come to an agreement.
- "Sir, I'm a poor girl, and just because I am doesn't mean I'm using the baby for money or..." To be by the side of that man who, to be honest, is an ogre, I just want him as a father to take responsibility.
- "I want you to understand something, Miss Hill's, James Brown, you are a decisive man, if you make a decision, even if it is the cruelest, that is how it must be carried out, I want to tell you that you are brave, because no one, absolutely no one, can contradict Mr. Brown, I imagine that you have already been informed by the closure of the hospital, one of the most important in this city, Now imagine what Mr. Brown can do to you, just by giving an order he leaves you on the street
- "He can't do that!" contradicts Charlotte, but she's really scared, even regretting that she came to get the boy's father.
- "James Brown, he has a lot of power, so don't arouse anger in him anymore, and accept to be the boy's surrogate mother, I can assure you that you won't need anything, being Justin's mother can bring you many benefits, if you leave him here and leave, he will send him to an orphanage. she feels the tears slide down her cheeks, her heart aches because she has grown fond of the baby, she feels a special connection with the baby "Will you accept?" "Samuel, although his appearance conveys security,
- he is worried about the situation" "I'm waiting for an answer Miss Hill's
