Homeless Girl Wins Rich Man’s Heart

Chloe, a homeless lady, is left holding the engagement ring that was discarded after a public proposal that was unsuccessful. An opportunity to get her life back on track is presented to her by the piece of jewelry; but, she chooses to return the ring to its owner, and she does so without ever anticipating how fate would reward her for the good deed she performed.
Chloe’s hair was blown around by the wind as she across a bridge in Pittsburgh, and the feeling of the cold biting into her flesh was intense. She went around to individuals, asking for assistance, but she was either ignored or ignored completely. She was homeless and starving.

During the moment that she was contemplating leaving, she was confronted by a tall man with broad shoulders. His hands were shaking as he held a bunch of white roses so tightly that they were shaking. “Sorry, didn’t see you there,” he said in a scowling manner.
“Can you spare some change?” For Chloe’s inquiry.

He responded, “I’m sorry, but not at this time,” as he made his way towards a cafe that was tucked against the bridge.

While they were at the cafe, Chloe witnessed him making a marriage proposal to a woman named Grace.
He got down on one knee and presented the woman with an engagement ring. “I’m asking the most amazing woman in the world to marry me,” he said.
The reaction that Grace had was one of shock and rage. No, no! She thrown the bouquet that he had given her on the ground and yelled, “I do not want to marry you.”

A deep pain could be seen on the man’s face, which Chloe observed. His response was, “But…” In our conversation, Grace, we discussed getting married and starting a family. I have been putting in quite a bit of effort in order to secure a promotion, and I am doing everything in my power to ensure that we get off to a good start!

This made Grace laugh. Are you sure? What does your conception of ‘right’ look like this? After weeks of disappearing into thin air, what happened? Because I put in a lot of effort, I shouldn’t have to worry about dating a ghost, right? What gives you the idea that I would have wanted to get married to someone I would never see again?
The individual appeared to be dissatisfied. “Fine,” he cratered out. “If that’s what you want, Grace!”

The red box carved a crimson arc against the sky as he hurled the ring with a powerful throw, sending it screaming into the air. Chloe got it on her feet when it landed. As she picked up the box, she felt a tightening in her chest, and the weight of the situation took hold of her.

A final, furious pounding was heard against the metal grid as the man, Dylan, stomped off. His footsteps echoed against the grid. In order to catch up with him, Chloe made a run forward.

The package was held out to him, and she remarked, “Your ring…”

He yelled out, “Keep it,” in a sudden tone. “I don’t need it anymore.”
Chloe pressed the velvet box on her chest as she watched him leave. She was holding it tightly. In her heart, she experienced a sudden whirlwind of feelings, including rage, pity, and a peculiar sense of friendship. She was unable to keep the ring with her at all times.

Chloe hustled after Dylan in a hurry. As she yelled out to him, her heart was beating really fast. “Hey, wait.”

In an instant, he came to a sudden stop and whirled around. Chloe lurched towards him while extending the box in front of her. You mean Dylan, right? This is something that I… I just wanted to return.

The response that Dylan gave was, “I told you to keep it,” and his voice was scratchy. “You need it more than me.”

“No,” Chloe responded adamantly. It belongs to you. “You can’t just throw it away like a broken toy,” the speaker insists.
Dylan laughed in a sarcastic manner. “That accurately describes the situation. A clue that a promise has been betrayed and a hope has been shattered.

“You’re a quitter,” Chloe said at the time. “Why not fight for what you want with Grace?”

He suddenly had a fire in his eyes that was blazing. “You don’t understand the humiliation I felt when she rejected me in front of so many people!”

Even though her hands were shaking, Chloe responded with a firm voice, “Oh, I do understand,” despite the fact that she was shaking. “I am always being turned down by people. My shabby clothes, my unclean face, and my hand that is extended are all ignored by them. I am constantly reminded that I am not qualified for this position.
“I’m actually sorry. Dylan whispered, his voice barely audible, “I certainly did not intend for it to be that way.”
“It is not the case at all, because individuals such as yourself do not even come across individuals such as myself… I know this because I used to be exactly the same as you, Mr. Bigshot Businessman, and I never imagined that I would find myself living on the streets. However, I had to sell my property in order to pay for my mother’s extensive medical expenses, and now… Chloe extended her hand to the sky. “Well, who am I to stop you from giving up?” She took the ring into her pocket and then went away.

A mixture of shame and reverence began to stir inside Dylan as he watched her leave. He kept thinking about what she had said. If you want to get what you desire, why not fight for it with Grace? She was followed by him.

When Chloe was looking for food, she began searching through a dumpster. When Dylan approached her, he was experiencing a twinge of remorse.

He voiced, “Hey,” in a low voice. “I shouldn’t have said those things.”
A wary look crossed Chloe’s face. “Throwing tantrums isn’t mature, Dylan.”

It’s true that I… I made a mistake. Would you mind if I made up for it with lunch? A proposal was made by Dylan.

A midday meal? Along with you? It came as a surprise to Chloe.

“Yes, that’s my delicacy. “An apology,” he offered with a slight grin on his face.

“Alright,” Chloe said, her fury beginning to show signs of easing.

In the afternoon, the sun threw lengthy shadows over the outside seating of the cafe, which was dappled with sunlight. Inquisitive about the stranger who was bringing her a dinner, Chloe sat beside Dylan, interested about the heartbroken stranger.
“Two days since you last ate, huh?” Dylan probed in a soft voice.

“I’m not counting the half-eaten burger I forced down and threw up yesterday,” Chloe said dismissively.

Dylan continued to fix his attention on her face, determining the extent of her resiliency. “I can get you a place to stay and new clothes,” said the man.

While Chloe was moved, she was also hesitant. “You don’t have to do that.”

Dylan urged, “I want to,” as he circumnavigated her neck with his scarf. “To make things right.” The gentle cloth, which was scented with cologne, was wound around her throat for a few minutes as he gave her a modest smile. On the other hand, it’s possible that there was still some good in the world. Her desire was to give him a bear embrace with all of her strength.
Before they could finish their conversation, a sleek black automobile pulled up outside the cafe and interrupted them. Dylan’s face became completely devoid of color as Grace and Mr. Simmons left the house.

“That’s your Grace…” As Chloe put it.
He mumbled softly, “With my boss, Mr. Simmons,” as his voice became scratchy. There you have it: the answer. I would like to know why I was working so hard. With all of the additional work and the late nights… My impression is that Simmons made the decision to move in with Grace while I was doing other things, and Grace apparently fell for it. What a complete and utter moron I have been!

A tightening of Chloe’s heart occurred for him. “Don’t make the joke that you’re an idiot. You are a nice and generous person. Her gratitude ought to have been expressed…

“What do you recognize? “Let’s show her what she’s lost,” Chloe proclaimed her intention. I would want to have a reservation for supper and one of her gowns right now. Shouldn’t you be aware of the restaurant that they are going to tour?
Dylan made a head shake motion. “They won’t care.”
“Grace will,” Chloe affirmed, her eyes displaying an angry expression. Please put your faith in me. I can assist you in regaining her affections.

(***)

Chloe had a transformation that evening. Dylan was captivated by her fiery beauty and self-assurance, which she exuded while wearing a scarlet dress and some cosmetics.

The question that she addressed him in a timid manner was, “Why do you keep looking at me like that?”

The response that Dylan gave was, “You look beautiful,” and he was awestruck by her attractiveness.
The moment they walked into the restaurant, there was a commotion. Dylan witnessed his former fiancee as well as his boss.

I am Grace. Mr. Simmons, please. The greeting that Dylan extended to them was, “Didn’t expect to see you here.”

“We, uh… were discussing business,” Mr. Simmons claimed on the occasion.

You are correct. As Dylan turned to Chloe, he responded, “I’m here to have a good time.”

“Who is this woman?” Grace posed the question with venom.
Dylan introduced Chloe as his new friend for the first time.

Grace’s eyes became more narrow. “She’s wearing my dress.”

“Of course not!” Dylan gave a response.
Chloe had been anticipating this moment for quite some time. In a pathetic attempt to grasp the worth of what she had lost by letting Dylan go, she had chosen one of Grace’s outfits to have Grace see her with Dylan. This was done in an attempt to replace Grace.
“Dance?” Chloe was questioned by Dylan. Chloe gave a slight nod, and the two of them moved away from each other and onto the dance floor, their eyes locked and laughter pouring between them like champagne.

As Dylan muttered, “You are beautiful,” his voice was filled with a yearning to be with you.

The conversation was abruptly cut off by Grace. It’s Dylan! Let’s have a conversation. And now”

There was a pause there. The question that he posed was, “What is there to talk about?”

Grace grasped his hand with great force. “You had the intention of marrying me, Dylan,” she said. Don’t act like you don’t! You believe in me even now.”
Dylan stared at Chloe for a moment. “Sorry, I’ll only be a minute.”
When Chloe saw Dylan leaving with Grace, her heart sunk to its lowest point. The question is, how could she be such a fool? In what way could she possibly believe that Dylan would pick her over Grace? merely due to the fact that she experienced a connection with him? The rustle of her borrowed dress could be heard as she made her way to the coatroom after making the decision to go.

There, Mr. Simmons confronted her with a sexual proposition that was inappropriate.

It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, my precious little charity queen. I have seen you beside the dumpster, but wow, you really do a good job of cleaning up! When it comes to the night, is $200 sufficient?

Both shocked and disgusted, Chloe was taken aback. In response, she said, “No, I don’t do that!”
“You are aware that you require the money. As Mr. Simmons moved closer to her, he called out, “Baby, this is easy money.”

He was threatened by Chloe, who was both angry and terrified. “Get away from me, or I’ll slap you.”

He was able to seize her and bring her closer to him. “You’re a bold one, aren’t you? I find that appealing.

The entrance was opened by Dylan and Grace just as he was making crude recommendations. At that moment, Dylan had a complete comprehension of what his boss was doing. Under the influence of his wrath, he launched an assault on Mr. Simmons, causing him to fall to the ground. In order to put an end to the fight, Grace intervened between them.
“Do you think you’ve lost your mind, Dylan? “You’re assaulting your boss for an escort?” she shouted at him before continuing.

Dylan hissed, “Chloe is not an escort,” and he continued. “And you saw what he was doing to her!”

As Mr. Simmons stood up, Grace assisted him. As he were leaving the restaurant with Grace, the older man yelled out, “You’re fired, Dylan!”

Chloe was crying her eyes out. It was then that she carefully re-inserted Dylan’s ring into the pocket of his coat. You should forget about me. “It is imperative that you save your career,” she yelled as she walked out of the diner, her heart aching.
One week has passed. Chloe recently secured employment in a bar. The only thing that remained the same was her love and desire for Dylan, despite the fact that her financial situation had changed. For her, he was the perfect match. She had that knowledge.
While she was polishing a glass at the bar counter, she was instantly drawn to a figure that captured her attention. Suddenly, it seemed as though her heart had stopped beating.

You, Chloe! Dylan approached her and said, “I have been searching everywhere for you.”

As for you…”I am unable to comprehend,” she stutteringly said. Are you referring to Grace? The job that you do?”

“I never took Grace back,” Dylan explained before moving on. “And Mr. Simmons—he’s going to be bankrupt once he finishes paying all the fines for his dodgy business practices, and the board has asked me to take over his position.”
She expressed her genuine happiness for him by saying, “That is wonderful news.” “Why were you looking for me?”
The words “I love you, Chloe” He admitted that his life had been a living hell without you. “Let’s start over together.”

Chloe was right there in his arms the very next instant. As they kissed, the world around them began to slip away, and their love was reborn stronger than it had ever been before.
Now, one week later…

From Dylan’s balcony, where Chloe was ensconced in his arms, a cool breeze delivered the aroma of jasmine. Chloe experienced a revitalization of her love for Dylan.

“Pancakes for breakfast?” The proposition was made by Dylan with a grin.

Although Chloe responded, “I’ll help you cook,” Dylan insisted that she remain and take in the scenery instead.
In solitude, Chloe contemplated the changes that had taken place in her life. A sudden visitor, Grace, jolted her out of her trance and brought her back to reality.
Grace called out to Chloe, “I still have my key,” as she approached her. “Dylan failed to make a request to retrieve it. It’s clear to him that we were destined to be together.

It was Chloe who disagreed. The affection that he once had for you has faded away, Grace. You have to get out of here.”

However, Grace, who was plagued with feelings of envy, made fun of Chloe’s history and attacked her. The battle became more intense, and Grace brought Chloe perilously close to the edge of the balcony after she shoved her.

Instantaneously, Dylan’s voice was heard piercing through the mayhem. Grace was dragged away from Chloe by him as he attempted to tackle her. In the midst of the tussle, Chloe slipped and tumbled over the balcony. As gravity pulled her into the city street that was located down below, her fingers closed over the wrought iron, and its sharp edges cut into her hand.
Dylan made a promise to Chloe, “I won’t let you go,” as he reached for her and pulled her to safety inside the building.

Grace was lying close, startled, and she watched as they embraced each other.

Outside, sirens could be heard in the distance, serving as a warning to anyone who had the audacity to disrupt the relationship between Chloe and Dylan.

It was embarrassing for Grace. The love that Dylan and Chloe had was genuine and unadulterated; it was written in the stars that they would be together.
