The one for her

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire

Rollins Laman

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

The hands of the clock on the white wall struck ten o'clock. A woman in white was still sitting in front of the dining table. The food had already turned cold. Her beautiful eyes glanced at the clock from time to time. There was a trace of deep loneliness in them.

'Maybe he won't come back for dinner tonight either, ' Elsa Xia thought inwardly.

She had been waiting for him like this many nights. But her husband, Brad Su, always didn't come home for dinner. This wasn't new to her anymore. As a matter of fact, in the five years that they were married, he had only joined her for dinner a few times.

Elsa Xia couldn't help but sigh. She stood up and put all the dishes into the fridge. When she finished cleaning up the table, she heard the front door open.

She knew that her husband came back. Her heartbeat quickened in an instant.

Indeed, he was home now. However, he reeked of alcohol, and there was an enchanting woman beside him.

"Wow! Mr. Su, is this your house?"

The woman's shrill voice resounded through the silent living room. Elsa Xia frowned as she walked out of the dining room.

"Who are you?" she asked.

The woman's seductive eyes stared at her for a while and looked away disapprovingly.

She turned to Brad Su and asked coquettishly, "Mr. Su, who is she?"

Although he had drunk some wine, he was still sober. The moment he saw Elsa Xia, a trace of cruelty flashed across his eyes.

He answered, "She's my servant."

Elsa Xia was taken aback. Her face turned pale at once. She never thought that she was just a servant in his eyes.

The woman turned to look at Elsa Xia again. Her voice was full of mockery when she said, "Oh, so you are a mere servant." With a bitchy smile, she added, "It's great then. Please give us some tea."

Elsa Xia didn't say anything. She just took a deep breath and turned around to go to the kitchen. After preparing two glasses of cold water, she returned to the living room. She put one glass on the table and poured the other on the woman's face.

"Ahhh!" the woman screamed in horror. She stood up and looked at her wet dress. Her wet hair covered her face. She looked so messy. "Bitch! Do you know how much this dress cost?" she shouted at Elsa Xia.
