The Billionaire Contracted Bride

Emma felt jittery and on edge as she plopped down at the kitchen table, absentmindedly drumming her fingers on it. She couldn’t tear her eyes away from the darn foreclosure notice in her parents’ hands. Thoughts of their grim financial situation had taken over her mind. On the other side of the table were her folks, Robert and Susan Thompson, their faces showing how worried they were.

The weight of it all was seriously bearing down on Emma. The house they all loved so much was in real danger, like seriously close to being snatched away, and the crazy amount of uncertainty about the future was suffocating. She couldn’t shake off the thought that the place where she’d grown up, where all those incredible memories were made, might just slip through their fingers. And with that thought, her heart was practically pounding out of her chest.

Her parents weren’t blind to how troubled she was. Emma caught their concerned looks and met their eyes. “How is this even possible? You guys are aware that losing this place would be a total disaster, right? I mean, seriously, where would we even end up?”

Her parents were on the same page, getting just how serious this was. They knew precisely how much Emma cared about that house and how scary the idea of yanking up their lives was. Emma kept pouring out her feelings as if she was still in shock.

And her voice? Man, it shook like crazy as she went on, her emotions displayed for anyone to see and feel.

“This house means everything to us. It’s not a place to live. It holds our memories, our history. We can’t just let it slip away.

Robert sighs, his voice filled with worry, “Emma, we have done everything we can think of, even asked people for help. The bank is pushing us to make the payment fast and we are running out of options.”

“The bank wants us to give them the money we owe them for the house,” Robert explained further, trying to make Emma understand, “But we just don’t have enough money to meet their demands.”

Emma got furious as she made a fist with her hand, and tears came out of her eyes, “Dad this house has been in our family history for a long time. It’s important to us and we can’t just give it up without trying.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

At that moment, her memories of their home started to resurface. It was a place that was generated with laughter and cries and where they all celebrated together. The thought of losing the house felt like she was losing herself.

Her father, Robert, looked at her with sympathy and a sense of understanding. He stretched his hand across the table and placed them on Emma’s shoulder, “My dear, we have gone through every option we have to save the house. But the more we try the more it becomes more challenging for us.”

Emma continued to think of a way out of the situation. She was determined and couldn’t afford to lose the house. She could find herself living without a home. It was where she witnessed her artistic growth.

“What if I try to sell my painting? I’ve been working on some collections, and maybe, just maybe, I can make enough money to save the house,” Emma said out of hope.

Her family looked at Emma with a mix of emotions. Their eyes were filled with hope about the situation of their financial troubles. With determination, Emma continued to speak.

“People out there will appreciate my paintings and buy them; I believe in my art. I will work hard and paint more, put myself out there, and I can make a difference.

Her parents looked at each other as they carefully listened to Emma’s words. They had always admired her painting, but in this case, they thought relying on her artwork would only work if it was challenging.

Robert looked at Emma with pride, his facial expression softening, “Emma, your artwork is truly incredible and miraculously breathtaking. However, selling this painting in a limited time will be quite challenging. We need something more immediate to solve the situation.”

Just as the family was in deep conversation, there was a doorbell ringing that distracted everyone, and they kept quiet. Emma’s brother, James, stood up and hurried to answer the door. A short while later, she came in with an envelope, holding it tightly.

“Mom, Dad, there is a letter for Emma,” James exclaimed, stretching out the letter toward Emma.

Emma received the letter from her younger brother and eagerly opened it, finding a letter addressed to her. Excitement flows through her as she reads the letter. It was an invitation to an art exhibition showcasing the works of talented young artists like herself. This was a chance for Emma to showcase her work and a way for a breakthrough in her career.

“Look, Mom, Dad!” Emma exclaimed, waving the letter up. “I’ve been invited to an art exhibition! This could be my big chance to show my paintings to a wider audience.”

Her parents leaned in closer, their eyes filled with hope and curiosity. Emma’s art had always held a special place in their hearts, and they believed in her talents.

Susan’s voice carried hope, filling Emma’s heart with a sense of possibility. “Emma,” she said, her voice gentle yet filled with positivity, “This invitation could be the chance we have been waiting for. It’s an opportunity for you to show the world your incredible talent and find a way to save our beloved house.

Emma’s eyes grew wide, filled with a sudden rush of excitement. It was like a flow of energy flowing through her veins. She couldn’t help but wonder if this upcoming art exhibition could be the lifeline she had desperately searched for. It seemed like a golden opportunity-a chance to show the world what she was capable of and, more importantly, a way to find the financial breakthrough her family needed.

Emma rose from her seat, holding the letter tightly in her hands. She looked at her parents and spoke, “I won’t give up, Mom, Dad. I’m ready to do whatever it takes to save our home. This art exhibition might just be the breakthrough we have been searching for.”

Her words carried a sense of belief that was the same with her parents. They saw the fire in her eyes and felt her determination. Their love and support for Emma only grew stronger.

Her father, Robert, spoke up, his voice filled with pride. “Emma, we believe in you. Your artistic talent is extraordinary and we know you have the strength to make a difference.”

Her mother, Susan, nodded in agreement, her eyes shining with hope. “You’ve had a gift Emma. This could be the turning point we have been waiting for. We’re behind you every step of the way.”
