Cruel Gambler Sold His Wife to a Blind Millionaire for $2 Million, He Instantly Regretted It

PART 2:

Please, please let him be less cruel than the last one. ” Happy you could come. So, is this what I bought? ” Yes, Mr. Donovan. Here is my wife, Emily. Don’t worry, sir. She’s hardworking, she’s no trouble at all, and above all, she will make you happy. ” Is that so? Did you sign the annulment? ” Yes, Mr. Donovan.

 Here are the annulment papers symbolizing that you have officially purchased my wife. ” Very well. You may leave now. ” You don’t have any other questions? ” None. ” Behave yourself here, Emily. If you want your mother to keep receiving her treatment, I don’t want to hear one word that Mr. Donovan withdrew his payment because you ruined everything.

Understood? ” Let go of my hand. ” Understood? ” Understood. ”  ” What a pitiful husband. Selling you to me. And why are you dressed like that? Are you trying to seduce me? Is that it? ” [laughter] ” Forgive me, young lady. But I might end up in an even hotter place in the afterlife if I did anything of that sort.

I love my late wife deeply. No one replaces her. ” Then why did you buy me, sir? ” I am old. I may only have days left. Weeks, months, maybe a few years. I lost my only child and his wife in an accident. And my own wife is gone, too. In this world, there is only my grandson and me left. ” Your grandson? ” I bought you as a gift for my grandson before I leave this world.

” A A gift? ” Melinda, Melinda, take this young woman to my grandson’s room. ” Come, madam. ”   ” Hey! ”  ” Good luck, madam. What do you mean, “Good luck”? Hey, wait! Open this door! What do you mean BY “GOOD LUCK”? HELLO! HELLO! ” [sighs] ” WHY IS IT SO dark in here? Where is that switch? Where? Sorry. I’m so sorry.

” Who are you? ” I ” Melinda, I only told you to bring her to my grandson’s room, but this is quite a scene. ” I did bring her, sir. I didn’t know she was going to jump on him right away. ” I did not jump on him. It was dark and I tripped. ” No need to justify yourself, young girl. We understand completely.

” [laughter] ” Grandson, are you all right? I know you told me not to visit you, but I am your grandfather. I can’t help myself. I know you’re still upset, but I am doing my best to give you back your sight. ” Give back his sight? Is he really blind? ” I don’t need it anymore. Leave me alone. ” I have a gift for you, my grandson.

 This young woman is called What was your name again? ” Emily. ” Yes, Emily. She is my gift to you, grandson. She is the woman I want you to marry. ” NO! WHY WOULD I MARRY SOMEONE I’VE NEVER EVEN SEEN? ” BELIEVE ME, I have good taste. I wouldn’t give you anyone ugly. Besides, I’m sure she’ll take very good care of you.

” Grandfather, where did she even come from? ” I bought her from a husband, a gambler. ” What? You got her from a gambler, grandfather? ” You forced my hand, grandson. You refused every woman I tried to introduce to you, even after I described them all so you could imagine them. You were too difficult, so I simply bought you a suitable wife.

” I will not marry her. You want me to die before you ever regain your sight? And you won’t get your inheritance, either, because I will leave everything to this young woman I BOUGHT. ” I KNOW! ” Then marry her, grandson. It is my last wish, to know you are married to a big-hearted woman, to see you start your family before I leave this world.

”  ” City lights are fading in the window. ”  ” And Emily holds a paper to her heart. Three years of loving someone cold as winter. Now he’s counting money as they part. ” For the record, I won’t be cruel to you. I’m moody, everyone says so, but I’m not violent. You’re free to go anywhere in this house, do anything you want.

Just don’t expect a real marriage from me. I can’t give anyone that. Not like this. Paper marriage. Good night, Emily. ” He didn’t yell. He didn’t grab my arm. He didn’t call me names. After Ethan, this almost feels like peace. ” Mrs. Emily, Mr. Vincent is looking for you. ” Why is he looking for me? ” When I brought him his meal, he asked about you.

” All right. Can you watch the stove for me? If it’s cooked, set it aside, please. Do you need something? ” Something? You don’t know how you’re supposed to call me? ” Uh, do you want me to call you mister? ” Did you call your first husband mister? Just say Vincent. We’re married, aren’t we? ” I’m sorry, Vincent.

 Do you need anything? ” Pick out clothes for me. They’re in the dressing room. We’re going out today. ” Here, I have what you need. ” Did you get me underwear? Briefs or boxers? ” Uh, no. I just took the clothes. ” You didn’t think about my underwear? Go get them. First drawer. ” Vincent, wait. ” What? ” I can help you if you want.

You might put your shirt on backwards or ” I’ll manage. ” Okay. Sorry. But if you need help, don’t hesitate. I’m not just a decoration here. You didn’t eat your breakfast. ” I didn’t like it. That’s why we’re going out. I plan to eat somewhere else. What did I just step on? ” Uh, it’s dog poop. ” I stepped in poop.

 Alfredo, go get the manager. ” Mr. Donaphan, a thousand apologies. Please, we’ll clean the shoe, we’ll buy a new pair. Your table is ready, the meal is on the house. ” It’s fine. It’s not your fault the sidewalk has dogs with no manners. ” Vincent, I’m sorry. I know this is your favorite place, but after that, I can’t eat here.

Just thinking about it kills my appetite. I’m sorry. I don’t know any better places around here. ” It’s fine. I love chicken. This is very good. ” You love chicken? A man who has a private chef? ” The chef cooks for grandfather’s taste. Everything steamed, everything balanced. But chicken like this, greasy, salty, dangerous, this was my forbidden treasure before the accident.

 Guide my hand, where’s the bucket? ” Straight ahead, 12:00. Careful, it’s hot. I could have cooked chicken for you. ” You know how to cook? ” Yes. ” So, you used to cook for your first husband? ” Yes, every day for 3 years. Wow, it’s beautiful here. ” This is where I come when I need air. ” Yes, it’s really pretty.

” Yeah. Is marriage hard? ” Marriage for who? ” For you. Was it hard with your first husband? Are you still there? ” Yes, I’m here. It was not bad, I guess. Not bad? Who am I protecting? It was awful. 3 years of awful. 2 weeks. It took him 2 weeks to replace me. Or maybe she was there all along. ” Are you okay? Emily? Emily? ” I I’m fine. Let’s go.

” Emily, how are you? ” I’m fine. I just wanted to ask if Ethan had visited my mother at the hospital, or at least paid the bills like he promised. ” Emily, I’m sorry, but I don’t know anything about that. Your mother’s invoices are unpaid. Her treatment will cease if the balance isn’t settled within 1 week.

” What are you talking about? Ethan was supposed to cover the costs. He didn’t pay anything, nothing at all? ” No one has come, ma’am. No one except you. ”  ” Mom! What am I going to do? He took the money. He took $2 million and he left us nothing. What am I going to do? ” [gasps] [sighs] [snorts] ” What brings you here, grandfather? I heard from Alfredo that you went out with Emily today.

 That you ate somewhere together. I’m happy. ” Yes, we did. The food here isn’t great, so I took her elsewhere. ” Not great? Strange. I’ve been eating very well since your wife arrived. Melinda told me Emily is the one who cooks and I find it delicious. ” Wait. She cooked the Melinda brought me this morning? ” Yes. She shares her dishes with me, too.

A real treat. If you don’t want to miss out, you should taste her cooking. ” I didn’t like it. She cooked for me with her own hands. And I pushed the plate away like a spoiled prince. Great job, Vincent. Truly magnificent behavior. ” Grandfather, what does Emily look like? ” She’s ugly. ” Really? ” Very ugly.

” Ouch, grandfather. ” Very, very ugly. ” [laughter] ” You’re an educated man and you don’t know that the opposite of very ugly is very beautiful. She is magnificent, my boy. There’s nothing low about her except the fact that she was married to that gambler. ” I’ve told you, haven’t I? ” Her life was not beautiful.

 So, treat her with kindness, whether you love her or not, even if you only do it to please me. Don’t cause her any more pain. Read it to me. All right? ” She is an only child, sir. Maiden name Emily Brooks. She was Emily Cole during her marriage to Ethan Cole. They were married 3 years before Ethan, an engineer by training, sank into gambling debts and lost everything.

” Speak. ” It seems the ex-husband Ethan Cole is now with a Ms. Vivian. ” What? ” They’ve reportedly been together for 4 months. ” 4 months? So well before the official separation, Ethan Cole was already seeing someone else? ” That’s correct. ” Vivian. Vivian Aransas. My Vivian. The woman I broke up with months after I lost my sight.

 The woman who left me for someone else. So that’s who Ethan is with now. It was to save her that I went blind. She was driving that night, reckless like always. The car hit a tree. I shielded her with my body. My body, Vivian. And it cost me my sight. And in the end, you left me anyway. Pay the hospital bills for my wife’s mother. Transfer whatever funds are necessary.

All of it. ” Understood, sir. It’s done. ” Good. Where is my wife? ” Sir? ” This meal. Did Emily make it? ” No, sir. It’s from our chef. ” I don’t want it. I want Emily’s cooking. ” Sir, your wife went out. She had an emergency. ” Where did she go? ” She said she was going to see her ex-husband. She looked distressed.

And sir, I found her crying last night when I came to her room. I don’t really know what’s going on. ” Emily was crying? Melinda, call Alfredo. We’re going out. ” He sold me, and I accepted it because he swore to pay my mother’s hospital fees. Now the hospital has stopped all treatment, and he is living happily with someone else.

” Where is Ethan? ” Uh Ethan, honey, there’s someone here. ” Emily. ” You promised. You sold me. I accepted everything because you swore you swore you’d pay my mother’s hospital bills. And now the hospital has stopped her treatment. You didn’t pay one cent and here you are enjoying yourself with your new girlfriend.

” Here. Take that. Now get out. We’re done, Emily. We’re divorced. ” You disgust me. You think this little bit of money is going to cover all the bills? You think ” Your mother? That’s your problem, Emily. We never signed anything, you and me. Besides, you belong to that old man now. Go ask him for money. ” You have no heart.

 My mother treated you like her own son even when you were a wretched husband. ” care what you think. Get out of here. ” Are you blind? He was still married when he started with you. He sells people. He’ll sell you, too, one day. ” That’s enough. OUT. THAT’S ENOUGH. ” HOW DO YOU KNOW, VIVIAN? Are you Emily’s ex-husband? So you’re the old man’s grandson.

Let me make this simple. I sold Emily. She belongs to you, to your family, now. Her problems are your problems. ” I came to get my wife. She still has to cook for me. ” Madam, you should know Mr. Vincent has already settled your mother’s hospital bills, all of them. And he arranged her transfer to a better facility with private care.

 It’s already done. ” Already? But when? ” Before we came to get you, madam. He gave the order the moment he learned the truth. ” Vincent, Melinda told me about the hospital, about my mother. ” Sit down. Use this for your mother, for everything she needs. ” You are so generous. I I don’t know how to thank you. ” It’s nothing.

But promise me one thing. Never go back to see him. Not if you don’t want me to withdraw my help. ” Thank you. Thank you, Vincent. I promise I will never go back to him, never. I’m not afraid anymore. I sleep without locking my door. I laugh in the kitchen. And whenever I hear his voice in the hallway, my chest does this stupid warm thing. Don’t do this, Emily.

Don’t fall for him. He doesn’t feel the same. It’s a paper marriage. Keep your heart out of it. I mean it. Let’s go out together. 6:00 p.m., Vincent. His blindness never limits his intention or confidence. ” Have you been here before? No. But can you describe it to me? ” The water is shimmering under the lights and the city glows in the distance.

 It feels magical. ” [snorts]  ” It’s magnificent here, Vincent. Have you been here before? ” No. But can you describe it to me? ” Of course. The pool water is crystal clear and there are garlands of lights all around. ” Actually, describe you. I want to see you, at least in my imagination. ” Oh.

 Well, I ” I wish I could see you. ” It doesn’t matter if you can. I can see you, Vincent. ” What do you see? ” I see a good man. A stubborn, moody, difficult man who pretends not to care about anything. And who paid my mother’s bills before he even knew if I deserved it. ” What would you say if I told you I was falling in love with you? An old blind man like me.

 Do you think you could accept that? Emily, if I told you I am in love with you, would you find me worthy of being your husband? ” You are already my husband. And you have been good to me. ” So, you love  me? ” Vincent, you are a wonderful husband. It’s easy to fall in love with you. ” Then tell me.

 I can’t see your face, but I can hear your voice. ” I love you, Vincent. I’m in love with you, too. ” I can’t see you, but I can feel you, Emily. May I kiss you? ” We’re on a date, aren’t we? And we just told each other we’re in love. ”     ” It’s true. I didn’t expect you to be remarried already. ” Mom, it’s a long story.

” It’s wonderful. Where did you find such a young, handsome man? ” Ma’am, I am blind. ” Oh, I’m sorry, son, but you’re still awfully handsome. Have lots of children, all right? ” Mom! ” Your mother reminds me a little of my grandfather. Don’t worry, Mom. I won’t be against starting a family. Not at all. ” Listen to him. Mom, he calls me already.

With Ethan, she wasn’t happy, Vincent. She aged 10 years all at once. I watched it happen from a hospital bed and could do nothing. And now here you are. ” Here I am. And I’m not going anywhere. ”  ” Madam, it’s almost Mr. Vincent’s birthday. I know he doesn’t like big parties, but I have a plan. ” What’s the plan? ” I’m going to make him a cake myself.

” Great idea. I think he’ll love it, especially coming from you. ” Your card has been declined, ma’am. ” That’s impossible. There was money in that account. Maybe you stole it. ” Ma’am, I didn’t steal anything. I’m sorry, ma’am, but there’s nothing left. If you don’t have cash, you’ll have to put your items back.

” Emily, my dear daughter-in-law, pay for my purchases. It’s only about $300. You have money, don’t you? ” I am not your daughter-in-law anymore, Aunt Jocelyn. They’re your items. Pay for them yourself. ” That’s $700. $700. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7. Thank you. ” Wow, that’s a lot of groceries. ” It’s for my husband’s birthday.

I’m baking him a cake. ” Oh, you’re adorable. He’s lucky to have you. Yes, I love my husband. ”  ” Hello, my dear. It’s been a while since I visited. I was busy with the arrangements for Vincent’s operation. This month, it’s happening. ” Really? ” Yes, he wants to do it as soon as possible. He’s eager to see someone.

Prepare yourself, my dear. He’s going to be even more restless when he can look at you. ” [laughter] ” What is it? ” You’re late. ” I’m sorry. I was held up at the supermarket. I bought tons of things. ” Fine. Stay close to me now. ” I will. I’m right here. ”    ” He never celebrated his birthday before.

So, this will be a real event. Emily will be there. ” You’re so busy you barely come see me anymore. ” I’m sorry, my husband. It will calm down soon, I promise. ” I barely get any of your time. And when you finally come, you’re exhausted. ” Don’t worry. I’m all yours tonight. All all yours. ”   ” Happy birthday to you.

 Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Vincent. Happy birthday to you. To Vincent. 30 years old and finally celebrating a birthday like a normal human being. Yeah. I remember we all thought you’d end up marrying Vivian. But, life is full of surprises. You definitely traded up, that’s clear. I ran into her at the airport recently.

She was leaving for abroad. I don’t think we’ll see her again. Good riddance, if you want my opinion. No offense, but she doesn’t measure up to your wife’s ankle. So, you’re going on abroad for your operation? When you come back, we’ll have to organize an outing with our wives, all of us together. ”    ” Hello? Yes? ” Emily, it’s me.

” Who is this? ” Emily. So, your life is beautiful now, huh? That old man swindled me. Vivian  left, and she took my money with her. You and your blind husband, you’re going to pay me back for that. Why don’t you rob him? Clean out the house while he can’t see anything. Then bring me the cash. ”  ” Call me everyday.

 Every single day, Vincent. ” Every day. And when I come back, I’ll see you. The first thing I do when I come back is look at you. ”   ” Vincent, why don’t you answer my calls? Did the surgery fail? Vincent, please be all right. Please. Please be all right. ”  ” Madam, are you all right? Do you think you might be pregnant? ” Pregnant? ” You do share Mr.

 Vincent’s room, don’t you? It’s possible. ”     ” Vincent, you have to come home. You have to. We’re having a baby. We’re having a baby. ” There you are. We have a plan, Emily. We’re going to rob that mansion. You leave a door open, I do the rest. ” You’re insane. Leave me out of your filthy schemes.

” What’s the problem? We split the loot or else I’ll kill your blind husband and keep everything. Emily, come back. ” I ” Easy. ” Let go of me. Let go of me. ” Calm down. ” LET GO OF ME. ” CALM DOWN. ” LET GO. You’re here? Is Vincent here, too? Where is he? ” Stop right there. Mr. Cole, do you remember the agreement? You took $2 million in exchange for never bothering my granddaughter in law again.

 The money is already gone, I hear. And now you’re harassing her again? ” I No, no, sir. I Get your hands off me. DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM? SHE WAS MY WIFE. I SOLD HER FAIR AND SQUARE. IT WAS A business arrangement. ” A business arrangement. Take him away. He is an obstacle to my grandson’s plans. We’ll give you two a little space.

Hold on to her tightly this time, Vincent, so she doesn’t slip away. ” I I can see you now, Emily. ” You You can really see me? ” You’re magnificent. More beautiful than anything I imagined in two years of darkness. And now that I can finally see, there’s only one thing left for me to do. I’m sorry I took so long to come back.

But I’m here now. I want to marry you again, Emily. This time while looking at you with my own eyes. Will you marry me one more time? ” Vincent, I have something to tell you. ” What is it? ” I’m pregnant. ” Yes! Yes, I’ll marry you, and I’m going to be a father! ” We’re going to be parents. ” I love you. ”   ” Emily, the result is in. It’s all clear.

It’s done, my dear. The lawyer has finished it this afternoon. Ethan is legally barred from ever coming near you again under threat of prison. And Jocelyn received the same order. If either of them so much as waves at you from across the street, they go straight to jail. ” Thank you for everything. ” Nonsense. You’re family.

And nobody sells my family twice. ”   ” I, Vincent, take you to be my wife. I, your bride, take you to be my husband. With this ring, I thee wed. With this ring, I thee wed. ” [applause] [cheering] ” Honey, I have a gift for you, too. Open it. ” Mom, it’s a a bedroom guide. ” Yes, it is. I bought it online.

 It’ll spice up your marriage. It even suggests positions for conceiving. ” Mom, I’m already pregnant. ” Details, details. Anyway, take it and give me lots of grandchildren before I leave this world. ” Mom, seriously? ” Yes, dear. ” We’ll try a few of those ideas from that book later, agreed? ” But I’m pregnant.

” After you’ve had the baby. Keep the book safe, we’ll need it later. ” Oh, Vincent. Two years of treatments, and last month the doctors finally said the word I’ve been waiting for, cured. CANNONS ARE FREE. ” TO GRANDMA. ” I WAS SOLD by my first husband, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It led me to the man I truly love.

” What are you thinking about over here? ” About how lucky I am. ” No, we are the lucky ones. And Emily, we are. I can see it now. Every single day, I can see it. ” Everything we need is right  here. After all the nights we cried, now we dancing on the brighter  side. Emily,  come my way.

And someone  that love you every day. So come up, we still date. Nobody taking this love away. If tomorrow bring another ring,  I’ll choose you over and over again. ”
