Ava Montgomery works at a dead end job as waitress. One night her regular customer "Mr Armani" enters the diner with an envelope for his waitress.

Here's an Prologue:

I gave birth to a baby girl yesterday. She was healthy and weighed 4 pounds 5 ounces. She was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen. She had black hair and brown eyes.

It felt great holding the baby.

If I close my eyes I can imagine her still in my arms.

After she was born I was given my daughter and I had her placed on me. My skin was in contact with hers and she looked around the room taking everything in.

I held my daughter for thirty minutes before the nurses took her away from me.

Dex entered the room and placed the cheque on the table. He looked at me. "You're not needed anymore, Ava. I hope you have a wonderful life." He exited the room without looking back at me.

I cried myself to sleep.

This morning the doctors gave me the discharge papers and I was sent home. On the way out of the hospital I had to be escorted out. The security guys wouldn't let me see my daughter for the final time.

My daughter is going to grow up without a mother in her life.

I don't want her to grow up like that.

Right now I'm standing on the roof of my apartment building with a bottle of wine in my hand. In my other I am holding an ultrasound photo of my daughter and the cheque that holds 1 billion dollars.

I put the bottle to my lips and take a long swig.

If I jumped nobody would notice.

I climb onto the ledge of the building and I look over Los Angeles. I can see the skyline of the city from where I'm standing.

The San Fernando valley is close by and the Hollywood sign is noticeable from the roof.

I take another swig of wine and I start to sway.

I need to get off the ledge.

I climb off the ledge and put the bottle on the ground. I look at the cheque and pull it apart. I throw the cheque in the air and watch the pieces fall to the ground like confetti.

I have to get away from here. A fresh start is what I need.
