Roman and Meg are forced to stand outside watching as the gates of their mansion has been closed with some huge chains. The soldiers didn't listen even when Meg cried and tried to use the Tanks' name to intimidate them. John was able to get Seven to allow them to pick one thing, and Meg chose her jewelry box. Roman, on the other hand, chose only a file that he has kept under his bed for many many years. Once his wife sees that it's the old book he had picked, she snorts with disgust. "You couldn't even take the money I kept in the closet?" She snorts. "You are so stupid." "My darling wife, this is not the right time to throw insults at each other. We are now homeless and we must get somewhere to stay before the media hears of this embarrassment." Meg holds her jewelry close to her chest in defiance. "It's your bastard nephew that has brought this embarrassment to us! Don't even think that I will pawn even my smallest gold to get us a place to stay!" Roman shuts his eyes and cu

Emerald has decided that since Lord Snow has come back and he has failed to pick a wife from the large stream of bachelorettes, she must take things into her hands. After paying a hotel worker very handsomely, she has been able to discover that Meg and Roman Snow are not in their mansion. For the past few days, they have been staying at the Palm Man hotel. They have been discreet about it too...Emerald doesn't have that much of a plan in mind. She believes that since Lord Stanford Snow was never publicly stated as married, Meg Snow will be the closest thing that young Lord Snow would have to a mother. She knows how important a mother-in-law is to have a successful marriage, so she believes that if she is able to win over Meg Snow, she will have done more than half of her work of getting married to Lord Snow...Holding her birkin bag, she makes her way to the elevator. Her hand is on her hip as she impatiently waits for the doors to open for her. What she doesn't expect is an el

Emerald consults the small, crumbled up paper in the crest of her hand. "Room 498," she repeats to herself before lifting her hand to ring the bell. The ridiculous amount she had to pay to get the information and the room number of Meg Snow. This better works. "I told you that my second poodle needs grooming, and you have not come for her! Is this any way to treat a VIP guest?" Mrs Meg Snow is speaking very angrily and loudly, even before she gets to the door. Once she does, she pauses as she sees Emerald, before giving her a look from her head to her toes. "Yes, how can I help you? Are you the groomer that was supposed to come pick my poodle? You are late, you know."Emerald forces a smile and tucks some of her hair behind her ear. "Hi, Mrs Snow. You don't know me, but I know a lot about you. I am I a huge fan–" "Oh my God, did you follow me here to the beach? What's up with these poor people wanting pictures," Meg turns away as she murmurs. "Oh no, ma'am. I think you have

Roman Snow finally has gotten over his shock and has decided to go into the bank to see his account manager. Today is a very busy day and the bank is very full, but Mister Tom, his account manager, is waiting for him by the door. "Good morning, sir," he bows deeply to Roman Snow. "As soon as I got your email, I canceled my schedule and I shall only attend to you today. Please, follow me to my office." Roman smiles with delight. This is the kind of treatment that he loves. They don't give everyone this kind of VIP treatment, but it's because he is the step uncle of Lord Snow. Many of the workers and other customers stop and stare at him in awe. "I wonder if his mysterious nephew looks as handsome as he is." Inside the office, there is already a bottle of expensive wine which Mister Tom doesn't waste any time pouring out to some of his very important customers. "Sir, you know that the Fargo Bank owes a lot to the late Lord Stanford Snow and the entire family. I've spoken to the

Roman is hoping that Stanley is one of the employees so that he can intimidate him even some more, but he frowns because he doesn't recognize him. "You? I don't know your face. Who hired you?" Roman asks. Stanley only gives a small smile. "I'm quite new, sir." "And what are you doing here?" "I'm here on the direction of Lord Snow himself," Stanley hands Tom a letter, "he is making new changes to the Snow empire. He has decided that for the next five months, you are not to release any money to anyone from the Snow empire!" Roman almost tumbles out of his chair, that's just how shocked he is. Tom is confused, because he has just made arrangements for four hundred million dollars to be given to Roman Snow. "What?! Are you trying to say that my nephew has given you a direct order without informing me?" Stanley keeps his eyes on the ground and pretends to be a scared messenger. "Sir, I'm very sorry to sound as if I am being insulting, but I'm just doing the best I can to keep my j

Roman has to blink a few times to make sure that he is not dreaming at all. Did Stanley just say that he is going to return everything to him? It's not making any sense! "B–but why would you do that? You have just found that I stole so much from you and your father. Why are you giving me a job and everything back?" Stanley pulls his Uncle's collars together, as if making sure he is perfect for a picture that is to be taken. "Not everything, Uncle," Stanley tilts his head slightly. "I have taken your dignity and your security with me. You are going to be my bitch from now to the day you die. I will have my eyes on you for every second of the day, and if you even think of screwing me over, I will make your life so hellish that you will cry for death, then I will use your name as a cautionary tale to other criminals." Roman's eyes fall. He has never heard such harmful words being aid to him before. His stepbrother's son is not someone to be messed with. Tom returns to the office a

Roman has no plan to go to the house to get what is left behind, no, but he completely forgot that a locket is behind in the small box that used to hold all his belongings. It's a locket that he has kept on him the whole time, and his late grandfather in-law told him that it was in his pocket when he was found after the accident. Now that he has gotten his memory back, he has just realized that he loved that locket so much because it used to belong to his mother. If not for anything, he must return to that house that he hates more than anything, to retrieve his mother's last possession. "Are you listening to me, Stanley?!" Emerald barks at the other end of the phone. "Yes, Emerald, I am. Just give me twenty minutes, I will come and take my things," he manages to pull himself to his feet. "Twenty minutes? Do you think that I have all the time in the world? I'm going to give you fifteen minutes, and if you don't hurry, I will burn it!" She ends the call, and Stanley sighs. If he

Stanley's heart squeezes with pain as he takes off the clothes she used to wrap her hands, and he winces when he sees how badly she has been burned. Why did she say that it wasn't that bad? It's so terrible, and her finger prints might actually be gone at this point! "Where is she?" Stanley demands to know. Lauren sighs. "Stanley, I won't allow you to take any trouble for yourself. Take your things and go already. Your freedom is here, mine may never come." Stanley holds her firmly at the wrist. That's the moment that he knows that he is not going to leave this place without her justice. "Where is Emerald?" He demands to know in a strong voice. "I do not want to cause any trouble, I just want to see her face when I demand to know why she made your hands burn!" The doors swing open and Emerald steps out with her head raised high with pride. "Yes? Who is that rat that dares to be so loud in my house?" Emerald yells. "Stanley? Of course it's you! The ungrateful bastard!" Stanley

For a second, Lauren feels her heart, and everything else around them, come to a stop. Marry her?! She has never gotten a marriage proposal before. If not that she trusts Stanley so much, she would have said that her cruel cousin has put him up to this joke.Of course Stanley is very easy on the eyes, even when he was confined to a wheelchair, and he also has a nice character. To be honest, she had a bit of a crush on him, but she shrugged it off her mind for a very long time. In what world would her cousin's ex-husband even look at her? "Oh, Stanley," her hand goes to her chest. "Are you being serious, Stanley?" "Yes," Stanley affirms. "Come, and let's get out of this place. I do not promise you castles and a fairy tale, but I will be the very best husband to you. Whatever I have will be yours," Emerald scoffs and rolls her eyes. "I've never seen something more ridiculous! You want to actually marry her? Everyone must hear of this, don't you both dare to move!" Panic jumps in

Lauren's heart grips with fear. She thinks that Stanley is making promises that he can't keep. Why is he acting as if he can find fifty million dollars in such a diabolically short time? She grabs a handful of his jacket and pulls him closer to her. "Please, Stanley, do not raise my hopes up. Let me just stay here, instead of being free for just a short time." Stanley frowns, his hand taking his phone. He quickly texts his new assistant, Paris, and gives her instructions on where and how to drop off the money. He actually doesn't blame Lauren for doubting him, as her disbelief doesn't come from a place of hate. He is not going to tell her that he is the richest man in the world yet, hell no. The shock of it may kill her. He will just give her her freedom back, and let her recover from all the trauma that the Hudson family gave to her. Of course he can do that, and at the same time, get revenge for his parents..."Like I said, the money is going to be here in two hours," Stanley
