Episode 1

Hello, my name is Aurora Harris.

I am 24 years old and I am the daughter of a prestigious lawyer here in Los Angeles. I live with him and my mother. Unfortunately, my father took on a case involving a very powerful mafioso, which caused him to lose his job that he had worked very hard for. Since that day, my father hasn't been able to find work as a lawyer. He had to start from scratch, and both him and my mother opened a small restaurant. Meanwhile, I completed my nursing degree and found a job at a private hospital in the city. I have only been working there for about six months. I also have a younger sister named Katherine.

She is 16 years old. For my parents, it was a bit difficult to afford both my education and hers. In the mornings, I went to school and in the afternoons, I helped them at the restaurant. However, she was younger. Now that I am starting to work, my plan is to help them even more so that she can also pursue a career. I have a friend named Sofia.

She and I have been together since we were little in school until we pursued different careers. She is an architect and has great talent, but that doesn't mean we have separate paths. Most of the time, we are together and go out together.

I have a boyfriend named Jacob, he is a lawyer. He is a good man who has always supported me. He was first my friend, and then things happened and we became a couple. He is very helpful and has always been there for me.

These are the people that I consider important in my life, everything was like this until I met him.

My name is Andrew Walker.

I'm a professional novel writer in English, and as requested, I will rewrite the provided paragraph while keeping the original paragraph structure intact. Here is the rewritten version:

I am 29 years old and an entrepreneur who uses it as a cover for my image, but I am also a mafia boss.

After my father's death, he left me in charge of the company and the businesses as his only son and heir. My mother lives in Italy, but we see each other often.

To be honest, I am not fond of serious relationships. Everyone considers me a womanizer. I usually have any woman I want, but only for one night. I never get involved or see anyone I have been with before. The only woman who has had more influence over me is Hanna because I have been with her multiple times, and I still see her. Besides being my "friend," she is also one of my trusted allies in business.

Being a multimillionaire, I always get what I want, and I don't owe anyone an explanation about my private life.

But then, she came and changed everything...

(Aurora) One morning, I got ready for work. I had breakfast, took a shower, dressed up, and headed to the hospital. My sister went to school, and my parents went to open the restaurant. After a couple of hours of work, an ambulance arrived at the emergency department. Unfortunately, my mother and father were in it. They took my mother to the emergency room, and I went to see what had happened.

Aurora: Dad, what happened?

Oliver: Darling, your mother fell at the restaurant.

Aurora: I will go and get information from the doctor.

Oliver: Let me know anything, dear.

Aurora: Sure, Dad, don't worry.

(Aurora) I quickly went to the emergency area where my mother was being attended to. I asked for permission to enter since I was in another section, and they allowed me. My mother was sedated, and I approached the doctor.

Aurora: Doctor, is my mother okay?

Doctor: Well, Aurora, it seems that your mother suffered a fracture from the fall. We have taken samples for further tests to rule out any more serious injuries.

Please return to your work area; I'll inform you as soon as we have more information. For now, your mother will remain sedated to alleviate the pain until we have the results.

Aurora: Please keep me informed about anything.

Doctor: Once I have the results, I will come and talk to you all.

After leaving the emergency room, I returned to my work area. Although I couldn't concentrate, I had to work. I informed my father about what the doctor had told me and continued working. I tried to focus, but I couldn't, so I decided to go to the restroom and splash some water on my face. As I was about to enter, I collided with a tall, handsome but rude man.

I apologized for being distracted, but he responded unkindly, telling me to watch where I was going as I almost made him fall. Then, he walked away.

I didn't want to continue arguing, so I entered the bathroom. After splashing water on my face, I dried it and went back to attend to my patients. Time felt like it was dragging on until finally, the doctor came out to give us an update.

Doctor: Honestly, I have bad news.

Aurora: What happened, doctor?

Oliver: How is my wife, doctor?

Doctor: Mrs. Mónica suffered a spinal cord injury. She needs an urgent operation; otherwise, she won't be able to walk again.

Aurora: This can't be happening! (Crying) Such an operation is very expensive.

Doctor: Do whatever you can. Your mother is still young, and if she undergoes the surgery, she can recover quickly.

The doctor left Aurora and her father alone.

Oliver: We'll sell everything to afford the surgery for your mother.

Aurora: It won't be enough, Dad. But don't worry; I'll see if I can get a loan. It's almost my lunch break, and I'll go to inquire about it. You stay here in case we receive any further information...
