The Love I Don't Deserve
My name is Vivian Nelson, and I am raising my son on my own. Life has knocked me down more times than I can count, yet I still cling to hope because my child is everything to me, even while his illness threatens to take him away.
The surgery costs more money than I could ever hope to save, but walking away was never an option. When my world felt like it was closing in, I forced myself to ask my boss, Carlos Rogers, for help.
I never expected his answer. He was willing to support me, but his help came with a condition I never imagined. Left with nowhere else to turn, I agreed to Carlos's proposal.
I had no idea how I would look my son in the eye later on, but life has never been kind or easy to me, and I have learned that survival often demands painful choices.
Luck finally showed me some mercy when the surgery succeeded, and my precious boy slowly began to heal.
Carlos carries himself with confidence and authority, while I have always believed I am not worthy of love. Because of that, I assumed our connection would stay strictly professional. He, however, does not see things the same way, and little by little, he finds his way past my defenses and into my heart.

Chapter 1
Vivian's POV:
Thunder rolled outside as lightning split the sky, announcing the storm closing in.
"Undress and get on the bed, Vivian." Carlos Rogers stood in front of me, his stare sharp and commanding.
"If I'm satisfied, the money is yours." His voice dropped as he leaned closer, letting his words brush my ear.
My breath turned uneven as my fingers found the zipper of my dress. I moved slowly, but the hesitation only darkened his gaze. In a flash, he closed the distance, arms locking around me as fabric tore under his grip.
I reminded myself why I had come here in the first place. With my eyes shut tight, I lifted my arms and drew him closer, pressing my lips to his before doubt could take over.
"That's it. Don't stop."
......
Later, stretched across the hotel bed, the truth settled heavy in my chest. Everything came with a cost, and tonight, I felt it.
