Emma Cooper has always strived to achieve a good life, but her plans have been completely disrupted by a single night. What consequences could one episode of hot passion bring? The young girl surrendered her body for the first time into the hands of a stranger and experienced the never-before-known pleasures that life could offer her. But her dreams and planned future are shattered by an unexpected pregnancy. With no family and no one to take care of her, Emma will have to struggle to raise her child alone in the world and without the father of the baby, heir to one of America's billionaire fortunes. Alex Laurent is the CEO and heir to a company chain known and renowned across America. He grew up and matured without knowing the difficulty of life, and he was surrounded by the love of the two children his first wife gave him. Everything seemed normal and monotonous, like every day of his life, but his world seems to turn upside down when Alex meets the girl who aroused in him the greatest desire he could ever feel for a person. Alex just didn't expect this mysterious girl to show up in his life with a baby, the CEO's unexpected baby.
Chapter 1 1
EMMA
The tenth shrill scream comes from my lips as I close my eyes, trying to control or have some sort of control over the pain I am feeling right now.
I close my eyes, biting my lips hard, not caring when I feel the burning and the taste of blood in my mouth.
All I want more than anything is for this absurd pain to end at once because I feel like I am about to pass out at any moment. That's when I think about how reckless I was nine months ago, after a drunken night out.
But I repeat for the second time that now is not the right time to try to feel any regret, and as hard as I try, I can't regret what that night brought me.
"Try to breathe; the baby will be here soon, Emma!", I hear my friend's voice from beside me as the nurses push the wheelchair. I am being wheeled into the delivery room.
A night of hot sex earned me an unexpected pregnancy from a stranger. It was my first time, and I gave my own body to someone I had never seen in my entire life.
To say it was good is an understatement, but here I am today, about to give birth to my first child, a single mother, and not knowing anything about my baby's father other than a single name.
Alex.
A new scream makes me bite my lips harder. Feeling the tears streaming down my face as I am carried down a long corridor of the maternity part of the hospital, I repeat a new sequence of breathing and sobbing with each new contraction.
I touch my belly, covered by the dress I am wearing, thinking that at some point tonight I will meet the little face of my beloved baby.
"Oh my god!", I grunted, squeezing my best friend's hand for some support.
"You can do it, Emma! Let's meet our, Benjamin."
I nod my head, almost screaming at the nurse who is pushing me in the wheelchair to go faster. I am out of patience and feeling extreme pain, but my heartbeat seems to stop when my eyes fixate on a person.
This can't be happening, God!
It's him!
The unbearable pain of feeling my child being born seems to fade for a second when I see none other than the man who is the father of my baby.
Time seems to freeze around me when I see him talking to the receptionist at the hospital counter. He looks exactly like the handsome man I met that night.
I don't blink when the nurse asks the people in front of us to excuse me; I grab Coral's hand, and just as I am about to say that finally the miracle has happened, my expectations are shattered in a few seconds when something unexpected happens.
He can't see me, but I see that when a woman in a long dress approaches holding a baby in her lap, he smiles broadly before taking the child from the woman's lap and holding the baby, visibly moved.
My eyes fill with tears again as I still watch the scene a few feet away from me. The pain of my heart breaking into a thousand pieces is greater than anything right now.
I sob, my vision clouded by the tears that run uncontrollably down my face.
He has a family...
We finally arrive in the delivery room, and I am in pieces because everything is piling up inside me, with so many emotions that it seems I won't be able to take anything else today.
"He is here...", I whisper to myself as the birthing procedures begin.
I can't go on with this alone, and I breathe a sigh of relief when I see Coral also enter the room after she sanitizes herself properly.
"He is here...", I whisper again when her hand holds mine.
"Who is?"
"Alex. He's here.", My words are interrupted when a new wave of pain sweeps through me completely.
I cry out more and more, feeling that I can't do it, that I'm not able to do it like I thought I was.
"Come on, your dilation is at the ideal size, and I can already see the baby, Emma!", I hear the doctor's voice somewhere in the room.
I closed my eyes, groaning in pain and feeling my heart break like never before. Somewhere inside of me, I knew that he would not come back to me and take on the baby as his son.
I always knew we wouldn't have a romantic tale when he found out he had a child in this world, but I wished every night that my baby could have the chance not to grow up without a father in his life.
He already has his own family, and I'm sure he doesn't need a woman showing up out of nowhere and saying that the baby is his.
"We need the pushing to start; go ahead, Emma!", Still crying, I nod my head, doing what they are instructing me to do.
I feel completely weak, but I need to do this; I need to finish this, so I can finally meet my darling son.
I don't know how much time has passed, and I don't even know if I have any strength left in my body. My vision is cloudy, and my eyes seem to want to close completely at any moment.
Furthermore, I have the thought in my head that I am dying, but a loud cry makes me open my eyes and try to focus on what is happening now.
"Congratulations! You are a beautiful, strong boy!", I lift my head, seeing the reason for my happiness in the nurse's arms.
I cry more now as she approaches with my son in her lap. I find strength from somewhere when he is finally placed in my arms.
