Emily is a lawyer herself so she doesn’t need to marry for money in order to live comfortably. Sure, they haven’t revealed much about her character but nothing about what they’ve shown so far hints at Emily wanting to marry rich. In fact, she was willing to stay with EZ while he was imprisoned.
Also, can I just say, one cannot simply marry Miguel for money. Questionable morality aside, the man is a catch. He is handsome, intellectual, and powerful. It’s not like this is some old, balding, red-faced geezer with a fat bank account seeking a hot trophy wife. Emily isn’t a gold digger stuck in a loveless marriage, waiting for her husband to die and leave her his fortune. He hot. She hot. They fucked and had a baby. Why is that *still* so hard to believe?
It’s also *so obvious* that they care about each other. Doesn’t mean they aren’t doomed (still). It just means it’ll hurt all the more because they’ve shared something real and meaningful before it all goes to shit.
Black and white characters are boring. Seriously. What’s the point of writing a love triangle if you’re going to make it so apparent that one of the characters only exists to be an obstacle to the ~endgame?
that person must be watching a different show because it is very clear that Emily & Miguel share a lot of love & mutual respect
