Chapter 1 - The Midnight Alarm in the Penthouse
Inside the high-rise penthouse nursery overlooking the glittering night skyline, high-tech medical monitors blared with sharp, rhythmic alarm tones. White rose arrangements rested beside crystal chandeliers, casting warm light across an eight-month-old infant boy sleeping in a modern transparent crib.
Lorenzo Bellaro—a tall, late thirty-something mafia kingpin wearing a tailored black suit—sat motionless in a high-backed leather chair, his dark eyes fixed on the crib with lethal intensity.
Standing near the crib was Dr. Crane, a silver-haired physician whose face flushed dark red with sudden rage. He raised an arrogant finger, pointing directly at Maya Ellis, a young night nurse in a white uniform dress, matching nurse cap, and surgical rubber gloves.
"You’re just a night nurse, leave the room now!" Dr. Crane demanded, his voice elevated and trembling with authority as two armed security guards stepped forward to block her path.
Lorenzo slammed his heavy fist onto the leather armrest of his chair, the dull thud echoing above the shrill alarm monitors.
"Enough!" Lorenzo rumbled, his voice cutting through the panic like a blade.
Maya didn't back away. She didn't drop her gaze. In her gloved hands, she held a plastic baby bottle filled with warm milk. Calmly ignoring the doctor's aggressive shouts, she lifted the bottle toward the ambient chandelier light.
