The Collision

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."

"Hello Mum, I'm leaving!!" As I ran out of the house, I screamed, "I'm sure I'm in a lot of trouble right now!"

Since Madam Zola didn't like me, she won't be easy on me. She might even try to get me fired. As I got into the taxi, I let out a sigh.

I just really hope that this will end someday because school starts back up in a week and I still can't go. Arianna, how did you get your life in such a mess?

"Ma'am, we've arrived at your place."

Before I left the taxi, the driver said "thank you" and thanked me. I thanked him again, paid the bill, and sighed as I left.

You've always dealt with worse, so you shouldn't let your fear take over.

I sighed and walked into California's most famous restaurant. I thought to myself, "Damn, popular my foot, they don't even pay enough money," but why does my mind tell me that Madam Zola is not being honest about the payments?

After I finished clearing my throat, Viviana turned back to me. She is the only friend I have here.

"F**k, Arianna, you're late again. What do you want me to do with you right now?" What about Madam Zola, she sighed. "I asked, "She told me to call you when I got there. I hope you're not already in trouble." She said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." I put on a fake smile and went to Madame Zola's office.

I knocked

"Come inside," "As I took one last breath and moved towards the door, her voice was cold and harsh.

She suddenly yelled, "You're fired! I don't want to see you here again!" When I heard that, I dropped to my knees.

"Ma'am, I'm very sorry, and I promise this won't happen again. I begged and pleaded, "I had to do something before coming here, I'm so sorry, I don't want to see your ugly face here again, don't you get it?!?" She yelled, "Ma'am, please, my mother and I will starve to death if you fire me. I will do whatever you want, please," and she promised to do whatever the boss wanted. As I said, I started crying "Okay, this month there won't be any pay. Do you want it to be that way, or do you plan to leave?"

I choked out "I accept" through my tears "Get out!" As soon as she yelled, I jumped up and ran out of the room.

I was so upset that I had to go to the toilet to cry. Why did she? I've never been able to get by without that money, and now I'll have to work without getting paid.

After I was done crying, I quickly washed my face and left the house.

"What exactly did she say?" Viviana asked me " I told her I was working for a month without pay, and she gasped and asked, "Is she crazy?" How could she treat you like that? What kind of person is she?" The woman cried out.
