Chapter 4: A New Beginning
Two months later...
The first cry of my son filled the hospital room.
Healthy.
Strong.

Tears blurred my vision as I held him against my chest.
Ricardo stood beside my bed, smiling through his own tears.

I kissed my son's tiny forehead.
"Mateo."
"A name that means a gift."

News channels reported another headline.
The Rivas Corporation had officially declared bankruptcy.
Assets were seized.
