Jazmin hadn't received any payment from Emilio even though most of her debts were already settled, which gave her some peace of mind.
Upon returning home, she was met with numerous men and officers removing everything from her house.
"What’s happening here? Who are you, and why are you doing this?” demanded Jazmin, visibly distraught and yelling.
"Miss, this is a repossession order. Mr. Monclova has just acquired this property. I suggest you do not interfere,” said one of the men, blocking Jazmin's path.
"Please, don't do this. It’s all I have!” she pleaded, breaking down in tears, collapsing to the ground while clutching a teddy bear her mother had given her as a child.
Then she felt hands gently gripping her shoulders.
"Miss Jazmin, are you alright?” Brus asked, kneeling in front of her.
Jazmin was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by despair; feeling as if life had taken everything from her, leaving her without dignity and now homeless.
Brus immediately called Emilio, staying by her side.

"Is something wrong, Brus?” inquired Emiliano, seated beside his mother.
"Yes, sir, they’re repossessing Miss Jazmin’s house.”
"How could this be? We still had several months. I’ll call Joshua to handle this, and I’m on my way,” said Emilio, swiftly ending the call. After giving his mother a kiss on the forehead and bidding her farewell, he left right away.
"I must go; there's been a complication.
"Take good care, and good luck with the proposition, my boy,” said Charlotte, smiling.
Upon arrival, Emilio saw numerous men removing belongings and quickly scanned the area for Jazmin.
"Sir, Miss Jazmin is over there,” Brus pointed out, gesturing towards Jazmin.
Emilio saw Jazmin sitting on the curb, embracing a teddy bear, weeping. His heart felt like it was pounding out of his chest, as she looked so vulnerable in that moment.
He approached her slowly, unsure of what to say or how to approach, but he did, spontaneity guiding his actions.
Crouching in front of her, Jazmin lifted her head upon recognizing his meticulously polished shoes, looked up, and instinctively embraced him, sobbing.
"They’re taking everything,” uttered Jazmin through tears, clinging to Emilio.
"Don’t worry, little bear, they won't keep anything that belongs to you,” Emilio assured her, kissing her forehead tenderly.
Joshua arrived and saw Jazmin and Emilio in an embrace, having never witnessed Emilio hug any woman other than his mother.
He didn’t want to interrupt, but he approached them.
"What's going on, Emilio?”
"Jazmin, go to the car with Brus; I'll be there shortly,” Emilio instructed, tenderly cupping Jazmin’s face to make sure she looked at him. She said nothing more and walked to the car, glancing back at her possessions being carried away.
"Joshua, I need all our lawyers on this immediately. I want everything back. Monclova is not keeping a single thing!”
"Okay, I’ll call the law firm, but brother, please, all this madness over a marriage? I'm not sure it’s good for you to continue with it,” Joshua expressed, aware that Emilio's feelings for Jazmin might be deepening, judging by the way he looked at her.
