Illegimate Billionaire Chapter 1 The Deal

The thunder boomed and crackled, making her jump in surprise as Amelia got to the hospital. She let out a sigh of relief, She just made it to the hospital before it started raining.

The hospital's hushed corridors seemed to whisper grave diagnosis and uncertain outcomes. She was beginning to get used to the smell of antiseptic.

She got to her mother's ward, opened the door and met an empty bed. She screamed and ran through the corridor.

"Please, my mother. I can't find her". She held back the tears as she tried to talk to the nurses, the nurses didn't even respond to her. "I'm going to sue you for not doing your job well, how did someone who's critically sick leave the hospi...tal".

She stopped in her words, when a doctor approached her, she felt cold chills down her spine "Noo, it can't be". He held her hand and led her to the ICU.

" We moved her to the ICU when her condition worsened, her current condition requires urgent surgery". He said.

His words drowned in her ears, her vision was blurry as hot tears rolled down her cheeks. This can't be happening now. She just lost her job.

With one last look at her mother, she ran out of the hospital like an enraged woman. She had just one option, going to beg her dad for help. Even if it meant taking a loan from him.

She sighed as she stepped out of the car, each step she took she felt a jumble of emotions swirling inside her,- guilt, and anxiety. The smell of old memories, she cleaned her eyes with the back of her palms.

She took a deep breath, as she pushed the door, she felt like she was surrendering to a fate she tried to avoid.

"Nobody is at home" a voice said, Amelia turned to see a maid walking towards her.

"I'm here to see my family" Amelia replied as she walked towards the living room.

"I can't let you in, Miss. Are they aware you are coming to see them?" The maid asked, looking at Amelia with disdain.

Amelia looked at her for a few seconds, before she left her.She walked towards the living room, It still looked the same,the apartment's modern design which featured state-of-the-art technology and appliances.

"Amelia?" a familiar voice said, which made her stop in her tracks.

"It's been a while, Amelia" her dad said, he was heartless. He could still recognise her after he threw them out of the house and never cared to contact them.

"What brought you here?" her stepmother said, she still had her devilish look. She was the last person Amelia hoped to see.

A maid suddenly came in, " I'm sorry I tried to stop her from coming in".

"It's okay, she's as stubborn as her mother". Her stepmother replied, " you can leave" she told the maid who bowed and turned towards the door leaving them.

Amelia simply went on her knees, "please, lend me some money, my mother's condition is critical, she needs urgent surgery".

Her father hardly looked at her as he went through his mobile phone like that tiny device was the most precious thing in the world!

Her knees were hurting from how long she had knelt down trying to beg them and her fragile heavy eyes held unshed tears. She tried not to cry in front of them. Never!

"Do you really want her to die under your watch? Please, help me" she pleaded for the umpteenth time.

She was vexed, and very much helpless.

"Wow, look who we have here, my loser sister, begging?". a familiar voice spoke behind her. " What else do you want from us?"

She looked at the newcomer, she still looked good and still carried herself like the spoiled brat she knew Ava, her stepsister, she was the true replica of her mother. Amelia knew with the devil's little brat around, it would be difficult to convince her dad to help her.

" We'll lend you some money, on one condition" Ava said."Marry Lucas Iyke in my place". Ava said with a mischievous smile. Amelia stood up immediately, her legs felt heavy and stiff.

"Lucas Iyke? the illegitimate son of Iyke's family?" she asked. Unsure of the name Ava just mentioned.

"Yes, that Lucas, that bastard, good-for-nothing illegitimate son of Iyke's family". She said as she leaned over to whisper in Amelia's ear " I heard he's a loser that's why I can't marry him" she chuckled.

" That's my daughter, she's as smart as her mother" Rose her stepmother said, she looked at her husband "Amelia is also your daughter"

Mr Rossi chuckled, "as long as the debt is written off". She expected him to say something better.

"Dad, please help me just this once". Amelia's lips trembled as she cried.

Her dad sat there, his face impassive, as he listened to her outburst passively. With the look in his eyes, she knew he had made up his mind.

A cold and piercing silence enveloped the whole house. She had to make a decision, it was her or her mother and as much as she loved her mother, sacrificing herself was one thing she never imagined.

She glanced at her phone, her pay off salary was not enough to cover up half of her mother's medical bills not to talk of paying for surgery. She was still paying off her college debts.

"You don't like the offer," her dad said as he stood up to leave. He was more concerned about his debt being written off.

Fear of losing her mum crippled her and all her thoughts were messed up too.

Without second thoughts, "I'd marry him", she said. The only sound she could hear was the tickling of the clock.

"Please, promise me you'll take care of her medical bills" she said amidst tears.

"Yes, you just keep your part of the deal, the wedding is tomorrow". Her dad said as he dialled a number on his phone.

Amelia knew her mother would be so heartbroken when she found out about this. She would have preferred death than allow Amelia to beg her father for help.

She went outside and looked at the sky, hoping to see a sign or the appearance of a fairy godmother telling her she made a wrong decision.

She was lost in thoughts, what was I thinking when I accepted to marry Lucas? Would my father really pay for my mum's medical bills? What if after everything she doesn't survive? What would happen to my marriage?

She jolted when someone touched her "Amelia.' She recognized the voice. It was her dad's. What was he doing outside?

" I'm sorry for everything, I'm really in debt and this marriage is the only way my debts will be written off". He even had the guts to apologise.

"I know you don't love us, would you be saying these same words if she died? She asked him. He couldn't even look her in the eyes.

" I thought as much, you can't even look me in the eyes".

"Just keep to your part of the deal" she said as she walked back into the house. She went into the room and her brain was flooded with thoughts again.

She wished she had another option, but marrying someone she barely knew to pay her mother's medical bills. Her family really backed her into a corner. They really got her this time

She would never forgive herself if anything happened to her mother because she couldn't meet the demands of her father.

With that she laid on the bed and closed her eyes. unsure of what tomorrow holds for her.

Her sudden wedding day!

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
