Millionaire Mother Hired Four Desperate Girls to Marry Her Disabled Son, What Happened Next Will Shock You

The rain was falling heavily that afternoon. The drops hit the puddles and slid down the windows of Emma’s old apartment. She walked quickly along the sidewalk, protected by her thin jacket, which did little to protect her from the cold. The sound of the water and the cars speeding by couldn’t drown out the thoughts that plagued her. How am I going to pay the rent this month? she thought, clutching her purse tightly.

Emma led a difficult life, but she wasn’t lacking in determination. She had worked hard all month, running errands and doing odd jobs. Despite her efforts, her pay wasn’t enough to cover the essentials. However, fate had other plans for her that night. As she turned the corner, a high-pitched scream broke the sound of the storm. Instantly, a little girl, no older than six, slipped near the edge of a flooded culvert. The little girl struggled to stay afloat as the waters dragged her dangerously under.

Without a second thought, Emma ran to the girl. Her heart was pounding as she reached out to grab the little girl’s wrist and, with a quick tug, yanked her up, pulling her safely to the sidewalk. “It’s okay, honey,” she whispered, brushing the girl’s wet hair back, seeking to reassure her. “You’re safe now.”

But before she could ask where her parents were, a deep, urgent voice called from behind. “Sofia!” Emma turned quickly and saw a tall man, wearing a smart coat that was already soaked, running toward them. His face was pale with fear, and when he arrived, he quickly knelt down, hugging the girl tightly. “Daddy!” Sofia sobbed, taking refuge in his chest.

The man’s eyes fixed on Emma, ​​filled with gratitude. “You saved her,” he said, his voice raspy with emotion. Emma nodded, still in shock, unaware that this act of bravery would change her life completely.

“I’m Daniel Carter,” he said, extending his hand. Emma hesitated for a moment, surprised, but finally shook his hand, feeling the contrast between her coldness and his warmth. “Emma,” he replied softly.

Daniel studied her closely. He noticed her worn shoes, her wet clothes, and the fatigue evident on her face. “You’re freezing,” he murmured. Before Emma could say anything, Daniel took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

“No need,” she tried to say, but Daniel interrupted her with a soft smile.

“Please, you saved my daughter. The least I can do is make sure you don’t catch a cold.”

Sofia, still in her father’s arms, poked her head out, curious. “Are you a superhero?” she asked, her eyes wide and shining. Emma couldn’t help but laugh, the sound surprising even herself. “No, honey. I was just in the right place at the right time.”

Daniel looked at her thoughtfully, as if something about her intrigued him beyond what he could see. “Let me take you home,” he said suddenly. “It’s the least I can do.”

Emma wasn’t used to the kindness of strangers and had reservations, but the cold was already getting into her bones, and the thought of returning to her small, unheated apartment was even more discouraging. Finally, she nodded. As they walked toward the luxurious car, Emma didn’t know that this moment would be just the beginning of an unexpected turn in her life.

Daniel was not only a grateful father, but also a billionaire. And his intention to change Emma’s life was not only generous, but also inevitable.

The car ride was silent, interrupted only by Sofia’s occasional conversations, who seemed delighted with Emma’s company. She gazed out the window, watching the city flash by as they headed toward an upscale area she’d only seen in magazines. Mansions lined the streets, their imposing entrances secured by large iron gates.

When the car stopped in front of a mansion even larger than the others, Emma was speechless. “Is this your house?” she asked, unable to hide her amazement.

Daniel smiled slightly. “One of them.”

He helped Sofia out of the car before turning to Emma. “Get in, calm down, and eat something.”

Emma hesitated. She didn’t feel part of that world. But before she could refuse, Sofia gently took her hand. “Please,” the little girl begged, her eyes pleading. Emma felt touched and, unable to resist, whispered, “It’s okay.”

The mansion’s foyer alone was larger than her entire apartment. Crystal chandeliers glittered above them, and the air smelled of lavender. A maid appeared instantly, taking her wet jacket with a cordial smile. “Welcome, miss,” she said pleasantly.

Emma swallowed, realizing how out of place she felt. Her wet, secondhand clothes contrasted sharply with the luxury surrounding her. Daniel noticed her discomfort and leaned toward her. “Relax,” he said softly. “You’re my guest.”

Emma felt an unexpected warmth upon hearing his words. What had initially been a simple dinner invitation now seemed to be something much bigger.

As Daniel led her through the mansion, Emma was overwhelmed by the luxury surrounding her. The soft carpet, the fine furniture, the shelves filled with expensive books and ornaments. Sofia gently pulled her toward the sofa, bouncing excitedly.

“Can Emma stay for dinner?” Sofia asked, her hands clasped together and a bright look in her eyes. Daniel looked at Emma, ​​as if waiting for her answer.

Emma hesitated. “I shouldn’t intrude,” she said, embarrassed, but Daniel interrupted her with a smile. “You’re not intruding. After what you did, the least we can do is offer you a meal.”

A chef appeared in the doorway. “Dinner is ready, sir,” he said with a polite smile. Emma, ​​unable to resist, felt her stomach growl, betraying her tiredness. Daniel smiled knowingly. “Look, even your stomach agrees.”

Dinner was like a dream out of a movie. Candlelight flickered on polished silver, delicate china, and delicacies that looked like they were straight out of a work of art. Emma hesitated before lifting her fork, feeling out of place. But when she took the first bite of roast duck, she almost moaned with pleasure.

“Is it good?” Daniel asked, watching her with an amused smile.

Emma nodded quickly, embarrassed by the exquisite taste. “It’s incredible.”

Sofia laughed. “Dad’s chef is a magician.”

Daniel’s smile softened as he looked at his daughter, but when his eyes returned to Emma, ​​there was something else, something deeper, as if something about her intrigued him.

Emma didn’t know it yet, but she had just entered a world where everything would change for her. After dinner, Daniel insisted on taking her home. When they arrived at her apartment, Daniel frowned at the old building. “You live here?” he asked, concern in his voice.

Emma tensed. “It’s not much, but it’s my home.”

Daniel studied the building, his eyes scanning the worn details and flickering lights. Without warning, he said, “I want to hire you.”

Emma blinked, surprised. “What?”

Daniel looked at her directly. “Sofia loves you, and after today, I don’t trust just anyone with her safety. I need a personal assistant, someone to help her, to drive her to school, to be there when I can’t.”

Emma’s heart leapt. “You barely know me,” she said, surprised.

Daniel smiled. “I know you risked your life for a little girl you didn’t know. That’s enough for me.”

The salary he mentioned made Emma gasp. It was more than she’d ever dreamed of earning. But doubt and pride clashed inside her. “I don’t know,” she whispered.

Daniel leaned toward her, his voice soft. “Emma, ​​let me do this for you. You saved my daughter. Let me save you, too.”

The words hung in the air, heavy with meaning. Emma swallowed, then slowly nodded. The next morning, a sleek black car arrived to take her to the Carter mansion. Emma felt a knot in her stomach as she climbed into the vehicle, carrying her small suitcase containing everything she owned.

Daniel greeted her at the door, immaculately dressed in a white shirt. “Ready for your first day?” he asked with a smile.

Sofia ran up to her and hugged her joyfully. “Are you really staying?” she exclaimed.

Emma laughed, hugging her. “Just for a while?”

“Yes,” Sofia replied.

Daniel’s expression darkened slightly at her words, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he guided her through the mansion, showing her her new room. The bed was enormous, with a four-poster canopy and a balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens. Emma turned slowly, overwhelmed.

“This is too much,” she whispered, feeling the weight of everything that had changed so quickly.

Daniel crossed his arms, looking at Emma. “It’s nothing compared to what you deserve.”

Emma didn’t know how she’d gotten there, but a part of her knew life had given her an opportunity she’d never imagined. And although many questions remained, something inside her told her this story was just beginning.

Over time, the differences between Emma and Daniel faded. Through their daughter, Sofia, they united their hearts, and although the path was fraught with challenges, they realized that true love is based on respect and genuine connection. Emma found not only a home, but a family. And Daniel found not only a person who loved his daughter, but someone who understood and accepted him regardless of his wealth.
