Chapter 5

• James growled, and Charlotte's eyes watery.
• "I... I'm sorry sir." He lowers his gaze.
• "Why did you have the envelope?" he shows it, and she shakes her head.
• "It was a mistake, sir..."
• "A mistake?" Are you taking my stuff? Samuel, she's investigating me to get money out of me," James points out.
• Charlotte couldn't help but cry, so Samuel bends down to help her up.
• "Don't touch her!" Let her fend for herself by taking what is alien," he orders withering.
• "But I know he hurt his ankle!" Samuel insists.
• "Go away, Samuel!" I don't need you," James points to the exit.
• Samuel looks at Charlotte indignantly and then leaves very upset, because James Brown is becoming more and more irritable.
• "I think I'd better go." Tears run down her cheeks and, holding on to the wall, she stands up.
• "You're not leaving here until I say so, and may it be the last time you dare to grab my things because otherwise, I won't have mercy" James goes to his office, while she cries inconsolably because her life is becoming more and more miserable.
• She has a hard time climbing the stairs, so she sobs with more pain, because she feels that she has never done anything wrong to deserve so much suffering.
• "Leave me and I'll help you," Mandy, who witnessed the argument while hiding, took pity on Charlotte by helping her up the stairs.
• "Thank you, Mrs. Mandy," she said, trying to control her tears.
• "Girl, you look like you're a good soul, why are you here?" The boss is very difficult to deal with, and with the loss of his girlfriend over, I advise you to leave and not be with him.
• "It's what I'd like most, but I'm in a lot of trouble, I have nowhere to go," Charlotte sighs.
• "That baby—is it yours?" Charlotte shakes her head. "It's Mr. James Brown's, and Miss Olivia's."
• "Good God! I'll go get a painkiller and an ointment for her ankle." Mandy leaves leaving Charlotte alone and thoughtful, she arrives at the room and fortunately the baby is sleeping peacefully.
• There she stands, watching the little boy, her heart shattering with the thought that if she leaves, who will take care of the baby? Since it needs a lot of love and attention. "For you, I will endure everything, I have no one in this world, and even though I am suffering, holding you in my arms soothes my soul.
• "Here you are, miss," Mandy hands him a glass of water, the pill, and the ointment, "I have to go, if the man comes to me here, all hell will break loose.
• "Thank you, Mrs. Mandy, I want to ask you a question, please.
• Mandy sighs and looks back, then nods. "Has he, sir, always been like this?"
• "Miss Chieftain Brown, it's the devil himself, he wanted Mr. James to be like that too, but to be honest, though my boss is bitter, he's got a heart, and I mean that from the way he treated Miss Olivia, like a queen.
• "Like this..." whispers Charlotte
• "The best thing is that I don't make him angry, here we do what he says to avoid scolding, now I leave her because I want to sleep in peace, tomorrow I see her girl, although the truth is that I like her presence, so I don't feel so alone.
• Charlotte hugs Mandy tightly, leaving her perplexed. "Rest easy, miss," he smiles slightly, then leaves.
• Charlotte, being alone, locks the door and then slides her back carefully through the wooden door until she is seated on the floor, takes the pill, drinks some water, and then sets the glass aside. She looks back at the baby and wanders into her thoughts.
• James Brown, being in his office, has an internal struggle, whether or not to read the letter left by his beloved, but after having a few more drinks, he decides to open the envelope, when he sees Olivia's handwriting he feels melancholy, so he prepares to read.
• *Dear James, maybe after you read this letter you will come to hate me, but I don't want to leave this world with a fatal secret, which I know is going to hurt you, first of all I want to emphasize that the baby is your son, and I know that you did not want to be a father, but please, take care of him, it's not to blame for our mistakes, and I guess you'll say what mistakes? It's hard for me to write this letter, but you left me alone for a long time because of your work, many times I needed you and you weren't there, you weren't able to face your father for me, which makes me think that you never had enough love to fight for me, and I hope, that if one day you come to have a feeling of love for another woman, Give him his place, because otherwise he will pass just like me.
• I failed you, if I was unfaithful to you and not just once, but several times even though I loved you, but I needed attention, to feel desired and you were with me very little, I am not going to tell you who it was so as not to create problems, but I swear that baby is yours, it is something I asked God despite my sin, Because the man with whom I fail you doesn't deserve to be a father, but you do, even though you didn't want to be, I know you'll be a great father, and I know that right now you're suffering, but I suffered more with so much deception, maybe you loved me, but you also failed me, I'm sorry and I ask for your forgiveness James, take care of our children, It's the only beautiful thing that will remain of both of you, don't take him away from you, he will be your company in your lonely days, I will love you always. (Olivia)
• James Brown crumples up the letter until it turns it into shit, his resentment increased when he learns that the woman he thought was a saint failed him, slept with another man, but he must also admit his mistake, and that the baby looks like him, so he goes into an emotional crisis, and begins to throw the decorative objects in the office, venting his fury.
• The next day, Charlotte couldn't fall asleep, even though the bed is comfortable, and the room is nicer than the one she lived in, she couldn't sleep, she couldn't stop thinking about James Brown, and her life.
• Thanks to the ointment and pill Mandy gave her, Charlotte woke up better, and was able to take the child to get sun. Upon entering the living room, she observes James coming down the stairs, he is wearing an impeccable, custom-made suit and black in color, he looks so handsome that his cheeks flush.
• Unlike him when he saw her, he put on his dark glasses and walks around without giving it a second thought, passing by her. "Good morning, Mr. Brown!" she greets him without caring that he's going to get angry "the boy woke up well, he's already sunbathed and cleaned it, he's even eaten" James stops and then turns to look at her, which makes her intimate.
• James has a very manly posture and says, "How dare you talk to me?"
• "I'm your child's surrogate mother, so I'll tell you every day about how the baby is doing, even if you don't ask and you don't like it, but he's your child, his blood, and I'll be firm in my decision.
• Brown takes firm steps toward her.
• Charlotte knows he doesn't like to be looked in the eye, but he still keeps his gaze steady. "Do you like to annoy people?" he asks, crossing his arms.
• "You had a bad day yesterday, so did I, sir, and I take this opportunity to apologize for the misunderstanding of the letter." When she reminds him of the letter, the man becomes enraged.
• "If you want to survive, don't meddle in my affairs and don't want to go over the roll, in the afternoon, Samuel will bring a strict contract about your silence, you sign it and you will receive the money, I don't want to listen to you anymore.
• James turns around and walks toward the exit. "Have a happy day Mr. Brown," he tenses, he has never met a woman as stubborn as she has.
• But as he leaves the mansion, James watches his father get out of the black luxury van with bulletproof windows and several bodyguards dressed in black and armed. "What are you doing here?" he asks his father.
• "Do you forget who fathered you?" Fucking bastard! I heard a rumor that your poor little girl died.
• James fixes his gaze on his father. "Do you think why I'm old you're going to see my face?" I also know that you have had a child, and I do not accept that you have a child without a holy matrimony, and since I am not going to allow you to make fun of me, I have got a suitor for you. orders the ringleader and the girl with blonde hair and brown eyes, gets out of the car very obediently, "pay attention to what I'm going to tell you, James, that bastard you've had as a son, you're sending him to a foster home because I won't be the laughing stock of my friends in high society, and you'll marry her, That she'll do what you tell her, as long as you have her living like a quee
