Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 3 Dismissal

They moved toward the bathroom, where the shower ran like a burst of rain.

Suddenly, Emelie’s mind drifted to their first meeting three years ago, on a similar rainy day

Her family once ran a modest supermarket.

They weren’t wealthy, but they lived a stable and comfortable life as a family of five.

Unexpectedly, her father fell into a trap that plunged them into a debt of 5 million dollars.

He was forced to sell the supermarket, their home, and any sellable items. Yet, they were still 3 million

dollars short.

body to repay the debt.

Her parents tacitly consented.

On a rainy night, she fled in panic. The roaring engines of motorcycles sounded behind her, like predators toying with their prey.

She lost her shoes and her hair was disheveled. Ahead of her was endless darkness, void of any light.

She then fell to the ground, surrounded by motorcycles. She believed her life was over.

It was at that moment a business car arrived, blocking her view.

She looked up and saw the car door open. A pair of polished leather shoes stepped into a puddle.
