"Emery I need the kitchen clean and I would like my eggs well done for breakfast."
"I look forward to seeing you again for my physical therapy appointment." Thomas went on to say.
"Coming up." She says and hurried.
"You better make it quick."
Alex looks around for Emery then he calls Rosalie.
"Alex they took Emery and won't give her back unless 5 million dollars is paid for. Her mother sold her out."
"I will rescue her then. I'll make sure I have enough. Rosalie we will fix this I promise. I need Emery. Just as much as you. I love her and I will fight for her."
"Ok well, you better hurry quickly. This is just awful."
"Tell me about it."
"Hold on Alex I am getting a call from my dad so I will need to call you back."
"Ok."
"Hey, Rosalie!"
"Greg, what is up?"
"I have some good news! You know Emery's mother Karen Richards."
"What about her?"
"Well, Emery is your Step-sister which means you need to get ready for a suitor. I am all for the idea I think it is good you have yourself a good guy and not some crazy bad boy."
"What?! Dad this is awful! Why did you have to marry her and ruin my life?! She is a nightmare and the worst."
"Don't say that about my wife. Now she will come and arrange some suitors for you."
"No! I won't. You know I don't feel you owe my respect."
"Well, mom is gone, Rosalie. She died and Karen makes me happy so if you don't follow any of our rules then you are not in the family."
"I don't want to be in the family."
Rosalie hung up and went to Alex.
"We need to stop this now. I just found out that Emery and I are sisters. So I am next in line to be sold, Alex. We need to stop it."
"Then Jürgen and I will fight for both of you. No one is going to have a suitor because we have choices and that means y'all's parents will go to jail for this because I have already called the police on it."
"Oh thank you, Alex!"
"Now till they find the culprits we need to have you in hiding. I suggest coming to mine and Jürgen's place very secure with highly advanced security."
"Sounds good!"
Rosalie packed her stuff and Alex made arrangements to get enough to pay off for Emery.
Alex comes to Thomas's and he is there and Emery is at the physical therapy office.
"Ok I think you have forgotten I am friends with the police department. Friends shall we?"
The police come and arrest Thomas and the contract for Emery's enslavement is ripped to shreds and some of the staff go looking for Rosalie's dad and Emery's mom.
"Now where is Emery?!"
"She is at her workplace," Thomas said with a whimper.
"Thank you Detective Atwood for your help."
"Of course! Now go get your girl!"
Alex drives to check on Emery and sees her at her workplace filled in bruises and kissed her with an embrace.
"I said I would stop gambling and that I promised. Are you okay Emery? How much did he hurt you?"
"Good to see you too Alex! I love you, Alex!"
"I love you, Emery Warner!"
"I'll pay for the hospital expenses. Now come to my office as soon as you can so I can check up on you."
"Ok."
Alex hugged her and kissed her.
"Wow!"
"What?"
"I'm just grateful for you is all. I should be getting back to working for Thomas after."
"That isn't necessary because I got him sent to jail and you are no longer in enslavement."
"Alex you are the best!"
"Well... it was nothing! I just know any guy who tries to sell you isn't true. Because a beautiful girl like you is worth more than they can see because you are so priceless."
"Thanks, Alex!"
Emery kissed Alex and then got back to work.
Rosalie comes into Alex's office injured.
"Rosalie?! What happened?"
"I was trying to put boxes on the shelf away and one of them didn't sit right so I hurt my back."
"Oh. Let me take a look at it."
"Ok."
"It seems you sprained your back though as your doctor and friend I would advise you to take 2 weeks off work because much activity on this could cause permanent damage would result in surgery."
"Thank you, Doctor!"
"Of course!"
Emery came into Alex's office and her sides were hurting more. Making it hard for her to breathe.
"It seems you in shock and you do have bruised ribs. Your heart is in good condition. However, Emery, you did sprain your wrist. So I am asking you to take 3 weeks off of work. Luckily it was a small sprain."
"Ok."
"I'll call my office tomorrow then to let them know."
"Also do you have dinner plans?"
"No, not really."
"Can I take you to dinner?"
"Sure I would love that!"
Jürgen comes after work to check on Rosalie.
"How are you doing?"
"Well, the fact Emery and I are step sisters I am doing pretty good."
"You are her step-sister?! Wow, that is mind-blowing."
"I'm just kicked out of my family too. It doesn't help my dad is bipolar. It makes it hard to connect to him."
"I'm sorry Rosalie."
"So how is your back?"
"Um, it hurts a lot. Hard for me to get up and down if I damaged it too much I could be paralyzed."
"Well, that would make you a lot shorter than me," Jürgen said with a grin.
Rosalie did a friendly punch to him.
"You know if you need anything let me know. I can manage helping you as a home CNA so just give me a call."
"Ok."
"Jürgen?"
"Yeah?"
"Thank you!"
"Of course!"
Maybe it isn't so bad. Just maybe.
