Chapter 1: The Choice Rosa Could No Longer Avoid
Rosa looked from Valeria to the motionless baby in her arms.
Then she made the only decision she could live with.
Ignoring Valeria's icy stare, she wrapped Santi tightly in a blanket and sprinted toward the front door.
"Come back here!" Valeria shouted.
"If you leave this house, you're finished!"
Rosa didn't stop.
Behind her, she heard expensive heels striking the marble floor.
Valeria was chasing her.
Rosa reached the driveway just as the estate gardener opened the front gate for a delivery truck.
"Help!" Rosa cried.
"The baby isn't breathing!"
The driver immediately called emergency services while the gardener blocked Valeria from grabbing the child.
"She's kidnapping my son!" Valeria screamed.
Rosa held Santi tighter.
"No," she said through tears.
"I'm trying to save him."
Minutes later, an ambulance arrived.
Paramedics rushed Santi inside.
One looked at the bottle Rosa had brought with her.
"What was in this?"
"I don't know," Rosa whispered.
"But she poured it into his formula."
