UNTAMED HEARTS

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."

My hand trembled immediately after I saw the message on my phone. I panicked as I slowly moved to my desk to absorb the shock. Just when I was getting ready to look at the message again, my phone rang. It was Pamela my younger sister, so I picked it up.

Hello Pam' I said

'Sis how are you doing?" she asked

'I'm fine" I answered.

Sis, Ethan is around ' she announced

So it's true? The message I received was true that Ethan is back from Canada. I thought in my mind.

"And he came to the house" she continues

"What!" I exclamation

"Yeah, he said he is going to spend the weekend in your place," Pam said

"No way" I screamed. Immediately, cold sweat trickled down my cheeks and my hand shivered. I was barely holding the phone in my ear.

"Come on sis why are you behaving like a kid? He used to be your favorite cousin remember" Pammy said a bit surprised.

"I know, Pam but things have changed, I am married now he can't just bang into my house just like that" I managed to defend myself

"Well if that's the case, you don't need to bother yourself. Ethan called your husband to inform him of his coming" Pam said

"He did what!" I screamed again in a horror

"He asked about your number, mom gave him. He called your line and it was not going through. So mom called your husband requesting that he gave you his phone, but Fred told her that he is not with you. Mom informed him about Ethan. You know your husband, he talked with Ethan and invite him over to the spend weekend at your place. she concluded.

"No way, Fred can't do that," I said

"But sis I thought you will be happy to see him," She said.

I will be lying to myself if I say I am not happy to see him, but the truth is that it is very dangerous to accept Ethan around me.

The implications of his presence around me will be too bad. This is because I have never gotten over him. And that is something I dare not tell anyone.

"Of course, I am, but seriously one weekend with Ethan is long enough for me". I informed her.

"Come on sis, you guys are adults, not kids he can't bully you even if he bullies others and you know that. Anyways I just thought I should let you know, you know your husband might be too busy to inform you as usual and Ethan likes to surprise people that's why I called. I will see you when I returned from my trip ok" she said

"Okay, thanks bye," I said and hang up.
