The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire
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."Natasha’s Pov
"I didn't choose this life, and neither did I ever think of planning against someone or being the one to be full of pain and vengeance. Hmm, truly villains are made and not born."
It was supposed to be a day I'd forever keep in mind. A day that'll be kept as one of the memorable moments in my teen life as I will soon leave high school and continue my life with happiness, with people I love and have fun with my best friend and be the most supportive and loving friend so I thought. It was also a special day for me because I had to prepare for the next day, which was my birthday. Unfortunately, fate had it own way of putting things in 'order'. Fate took one thing I cherished most from me . I never expected that one person I doted on. That one person who was willing to do everything just to see me glow and grow gracefully was taken away from me in a harsh manner.
My fate and happiness crushed on that very day .....
I stood by my best friend Zane's lifeless body lying by plant .
"Of all places, why did you both come here, Ella? " I asked my cousin who looked pale .
" I....I don'ttt know ...I was just angry ....and he was trying to force himself on me, and i didn't want that to happen, believe me" Ella stuttered.
Knowing Zane , he is the most sweetest person I have encountered my whole life. Telling me he'll hurt a fly will even surprise me . But trying to rape someone? not just anyone but my cousin? That's so out of line. I can bet on my life that he'll never do this. But now wasn't the time I had to reminisce.
"You don't know ? For Christ sake he's all I have!! I said, panting with anger and tears .How could you do this to me ? What are you going to do ? What are you going to tell your parents and our family as well ?...and what will I do when I see Zane's mom ? He's all she has.....great now what are we supposed to do . We can't just give a random excuse as to why Zane is lying down breathless. And I'll never leave him.
"Please don't tell anyone, please. Just let this be between you and I " Ella's pleaded.
No Ella's we can't do that , my voice was cracked as the tears streamed down. I was in pain. I promised Zane I'd be by his side.
And now he wasn't breathing . He lied there lifeless in a pool of blood.
" I have to call the police and we'll explain to them that it was a mistake" I suggested.
"No you will do no such thing "
We both turned to the voice, and face to face was Daniel, who looked at both of us and stood by Ella, covering her up. And caressing her back. Now, that was weird.
