Chapter 10 - Emma Recalls The Day She Met The Bennetts
Sitting in the hospital cafeteria while Lily slept peacefully in the recovery ward, Emma reflected on her tumultuous journey.
She remembered meeting Michael five years ago at a charity gala downtown when she was just a struggling graphic designer.
He had swept her off her feet with his genuine kindness, completely contrasting with the cold aristocracy of his family.
When they married, Diane had treated her like an unwanted interloper who dared to breach high-society boundaries.
The birth of baby Lily was supposed to bridge the gap, but it only triggered Diane’s paranoid obsession with bloodlines.
“You survived the worst night of your life, Emma; now it’s time to claim what belongs to your family,” Michael said, sitting down.
He placed a fresh cup of black coffee on the table, looking at her with deep, enduring love and gratitude.

“Lily is going to be discharged this afternoon, and the federal prosecutors are ready to indict Diane on federal charges,” Michael reported.
“Let’s go home, Michael... our real home, far away from this toxic Bel Air estate,” Emma smiled softly.
