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."

As the lights turned on, the quiet night was broken by a sea of people. Their gorgeous dresses and tuxedos came into view, and the whole city was bathed in the fragrance, colors, and textures of their clothes. The biggest auction in T City had started.

A beautiful couple approached in the lamplight. The man was handsome, and the woman was both shy and graceful. The woman was holding the man's arm with a sweet smile. How could she not be happy since the rumor of their wedding had only just broken this week?

Everyone had praised the couple as a perfect match, but no one would even have remembered the woman seven years ago. It had been seven years, seven long and painful years. That woman and the past scandal seemed to have been forgotten.

"It's Mr. Brian."

"Mr. Brian is here,"

There were a great number of journalists rushing in the direction of the happy couple's arrival. They darted forward with the sound of their cameras clicking and blinding flashes. Even had a superstar shown up from the latest movie, the response would have been no more than this.

The red car drew a beautiful arc as it turned before stopping. Under the beautiful lights of the event, the bright red car was an enchanting addition. There would always be an elite group of people who immediately drew attention upon their arrival, and Brian Yun belonged to this group of people.

"Mr. Brian, it's said that you and Miss Cassie Qin recently traveled abroad for seven days and seven nights. Is there any truth to the rumor..."

"Mr. Brian, I heard that you and Miss Cassie Qin are about to get engaged. Is that true?"

"Mr. Brian..."

The reporters kept asking questions as if they had already forgotten that tonight's event was an auction, not a special performance by Brian Yun. However, he always drew the attention of the media. And not only for his fascinating face, just by his status as the young master of the Yun Company had he also attracted many women.

When hearing the word engagement being tossed around by the crowd, Brian Yun slightly narrowed his smiling eyes in a roguish style, "I like being mysterious. Don't deprive me of my interests." As soon as his charming eyes and brows swept the assembled reporters, everyone was utterly charmed by his graceful manner and unable to refute.

Of course, some of the journalists were able to stay calm and reasonable despite his charm. Since they could not glean an answer from Brian, they turned to Cassie Qin instead.

"What do you think about this, Miss Cassie Qin?"

Cassie held Brian's arm more closely and said, "Just as Brian said, we are here for the auction. Let us rather focus on that, shall we?"
