PREGNANT AND REJECTED MATE

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."

Jayden

"We're here."

I raised my head to confirm our location as the driver announced our arrival. My best friend and beta, Lewis was with me, and we were both attending the party of the daughter of one of my favourite investors.

The Graysons are known all around the East Blue as the third-richest family in the kingdom. They are revered by everyone in the East Blue because of the wealth they possess.

Grayson's family only has one daughter, Elena and she has just come of age. A party was thrown in respect of this, and I was invited as the Alpha of the pack.

I would have turned down the invitation if my uncle hadn't insisted that I accept the invitation.

I mean, why should I attend the banquet?

Elena is a spoiled brat who thinks the whole world evolves around her. I never wanted anything to do with her nor did I want her around me.

However, the situation is such that I have to attend this party as her father is an important investor in my company and I wouldn't want him at loggerheads with me.

Putting on the best smile I could muster. I stepped out of the car. I adjusted my bow tie and brushed my hand through my hair.

When I was certain that I looked good, I stepped out of the car and headed towards the entrance.

I chose to make an entrance into the party through the back door because I wanted to keep myself hidden.

I was never a party freak.

I like my space and enjoy my privacy, but in this case, I had no choice but to attend. I had to honour the invitation.

Dressed in a black suit and white shirt, Lewis looked dashing as he stepped out beside me.

"You should smile a little more, Jayden, you don't want to go about announcing your lack of interest through your face. It's a party and you should look happy."

He was right.

I should look happy, but how?

How do I look happy when I am displeased about my presence at this party?

I nodded in response to his advice and adjusted my trousers before moving inside.

I was dressed in a blue tuxedo paired with a white shirt and black shoes. My brown hair was styled as a Caesar cut.

Even though I wasn't happy to attend the party, I had to look good.

"Hi, baby."

I looked behind me to see Melissa Aubrey, my girlfriend and would-be-chosen Luna.

Melissa is the daughter of an oil mogul. Her father is one of the richest men in East Blue and her immense beauty was proof of that.

"Hi," I replied, nonchalantly.

"You look dashing in that, Jay," she smiled as she pointed at my outfit.

"Be respectful. This is a public gathering," Lewis cautioned and she rolled her eyes.

"Alright."

Melissa didn't seem to take that well, but she also didn't dwell on the topic.

Lewis and Melissa never get along and I wonder why.

Neither of them like the other.

"Let's get a place to sit," Melissa intertwined her hand with mine as she led me to a private seating space.

"Welcome Alpha Jayden," Lady Estrella appeared to greet me.

She is Elena's mother. The wife of Felix Grayson, and the owner of Greyson Pharmaceuticals, the largest firm in the field.

Here in East Blue, the Graysons owned the biggest pharmaceutical company.

"Thank you, Estrella," I smiled in response.

"I'm glad you made it," she flaunted her hair and swayed her hips as she stepped aside for me to see the figure lingering behind her.

"Elena says hi." She said, ushering her daughter forward.

"Welcome to my party, Alpha Jayden," Elena muttered in her strange guttural voice.

The lady has strange, yet funny features. She was beautiful, no doubt, but her outlook was amusing.

She had short hair with curls. Her brows were thick and full. With full lips that were as red as roses. However, for someone with such beautiful facial features, Elena had a masculine physique and guttural voice.

"Happy birthday, lady Elena," I muttered in a low voice, as I tried as much as I could to stop myself from laughing.

I just can't help laughing every time I see her. She was like a combination of both genders. She was more like a man than a woman.

Even though the makeup made her look beautiful and her heavily studded Red dress made her look like a princess, it couldn't change her manly figure.

"You look beautiful as always," I muttered as I checked her out.
