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."

On my signal, one, two, three…and a gun shots was fired against the enemy. After a few minutes there was peace, and the only men standing was headed by a woman. Queen! You are amazing! Exclaimed by Tao and all the man cheered and agreed. There were about twenty or more encounters happened in the past three years since Alex became the leader of the organization in the Asian Region. But nobody knew and see her because she wanted a peaceful life. Every time they will face an enemy she will disguise herself as queen, during normal day she is just a typical student and community worker.

Alex was busy doing her job as room attendant in Lee Mansion Hotel. She is working here 5 days a week. Her job is normally to keep all the rooms neat and tidy for the guest. Since it is in Paris, quality and service are the name of the game. Today, was just a normal day for her except that one of her colleagues was sick, she has to replace her in the Public Area. There is an on-going activity in the hotel which is attended by 800 people around the world. At first, she wanted to decline her boss because there might be someone who knew her.

While she is doing her job, 3 children are playing in the area and it cause a lot of worry for her because first, the area they were playing at she just cleaned it, second, they might meet an accident because the floor is slippery and third, they were so naughty. Annoyed Alex approach the kids but she hide her annoyance

"Justin, how old are you"?

"I am 6 years old and you Jarred, I am 8 years old, " Replied the 2 boys.

"See, you are older than Juliana and yet you both are not setting a good example to her. You should be the one who is taking care of her and become her idol. Big brothers are like heroes.
