Her Debt To Pay

Emma:
Most people would look at me and see a girl raised with privilege. What they don't see is the loneliness, the feeling of abandonment. Sadly, that's only the tip of the iceberg. You see, I accepted being alone. I accepted the fact that I was a burden to my father. The truth is I could have ended up in the foster system if he hadn't stepped up, so I don't complain. Instead, I live with the guilt of knowing I will probably never be able to repay what he's done for me. So, when the opportunity arises to save his life, I don't hesitate. That's how I ended up as the property of one Bryce Murphy. My father owes him a debt he can't pay, now that debt is mine. Bryce:
Being second in line to the Murphy empire has never been an issue for me. I never wanted to be the top dog; that title rightfully belongs to my older brother Cole. He handles the dirty side of our business while I handle the legitimate side, and I'm more than happy with that arrangement. Unfortunately, Bryce has been insistent that I become familiar with all aspects of the company. That's why I'm presently in New York confronting the man who embezzled over three million dollars from us. I'm completely bluffing my way through this interrogation until she walks through the door. When my eyes zero in on Emma Breslin, everything changes. Suddenly, the dark side of our family isn't something I'm avoiding. It's something I'm embracing. Emma will be mine, no matter what I have to do to guarantee it.
