Escaping the billionaire to marry him Chapter 1 The boyfriend

CHAPTER 1

JENNA'S POV

"Seriously?" I stormed into the study, holding up a newspaper.

"If there's anything I won't take, grandpa is you always devising a means to get me married."

I threw the papers across the desk grandpa was sitted on.

"I see this is your new way of saying thank you?" He said. "You are lucky you got to hear about it this time and not run away like a little girl."

He adjusted his glasses as he fixed his gaze at me. Anger? Annoyance? I couldn't read his expression from how he looked.

I looked at grandpa confused trying make sense of what I just heard. Did he say thank you? Was it for always making marriage plans behind my back? Or when he arranged a "board meeting" which by coincidence just happened to be my wedding.

I rolled my eyes. "Of course I'm supposed to be appreciative of all the times you tried to ruin my life."

"If getting married was a means to ruin peoples lives, the whole world would have been a mess by now," he snapped.

I looked down at my shoes, and gritted my teeth. "At least I don't get to end up like mum and dad...." The room fell silent as though I just uttered a forbidden word.

Grandpa's expression fell flat, his gaze turned to me. "You don't know anything about your mum and dad's relationship worked," his voice with a hint of anger.

"You're only trying to hide the truth from me as usual; dad has always being a freak. Mom died! And whose fault was that? My own fucking father.

My heart raced against my chest. I'd never felt this surge of hatred stream through me just at the thought of my father.

Grandpa walked up to me, holding my hands in his. "Jenna, my child. Everything your mom did was solely on her terms." He continued, "Kristen was my favorite, and just like you I made sure to give her all she ever asked for. Your dad was just a manipulative devil who drove her to her death."

"No....if you claim you love her then why didn't you stop them from getting married?" I drew my hand back. "Answer me." "Honey?" Grandpa called softly. I looked up at him. He gave a sad smile and squeezed my shoulder.

"Something's happen which we can't quite control. Your father was a low life, and I curse the day I let your mother get married to him."

"Which is why I decided to get you married myself....to prevent what happened to your mother."

"And the company? Getting married would mean me not paying full attention to the company?"

"It's about time you forget about the business and start to think about raising a family, Jenna." He cried. "I'm to blame for your lack of interest in getting married; I gave you everything you have and now you couldn't care less if a man was in the picture or not."

I glanced around the room refusing to make eye contact. All I could do was stand there like a child getting scolded.

He continued, "I gave you everything you asked for, I groomed you into this self independent businesswoman, I could go on and on, but all I ask of you is this little favor,"

"What.... I'm only trying to say I'm not ready yet." I trailed off. "Getting married is such a big deal and I'm not cut out for it.

"I get it now." He nodded. "I've drawn myself to the conclusion you find attraction not in men, but women," judging eyes stared fiercely at mine.

I felt My face reddened in shame. I clenched onto my dress, feeling repulsed at what grandpa had just said.

What could this old man possibly be thinking? How could he even think of such a thing? Of course I'm not attracted to women and who knows, I can just imagine what the press would say about it when grandpa goes yapping about it.

Business savvy, Jenna after years of marriage pursuit reveals to be attracted to women!! I quivered at the thought of it.

"I'm not a lesbian! I have a fiancé for Christ sake," I shot back angrily. His eyes widened as he jumped up his chair in excitement.

"Are... you serious?" His his eyes sparkled with hope as he waited for my response. "Yes, I am serious." I blurted.

"Why am I just hearing about this now? Why did you keep it a secret from–"

"Because I was scared you won't accept him." I interrupted. Dragging my hand from his as I turned away. "I'm afraid he fits into what you think of dad." I took in his hands again, holding it up against my chest.

"And i didn't want you to disapprove of it so I decided we will go low key and figure out what works best for both of us.

His once gleaming face now turned into a frown. " And what does he do?"

"Well, he manages a company. And I know you've always wanted someone who's wealthy and affluent, but I really love him, please!" I cried.

"I made a vow I'd never let whatever happened to your mom happen to you," he replied grudgingly.

"He's not like that grandpa, I promise you." He pulled me in for a hug. "Okay my child. If you feel this man makes you happy, then I'm happy."

"You're the best!" I hurriedly placed a peck on his cheek, " I love you so much."

I turned to walk out of the study. "Just one thing. I'd like to meet with this man," he announced.

"Be sure to bring him for dinner tomorrow." He waved his hands in dismissal. I walked out of the study, wedging myself against the door as it shut closed behind me.

What If he knows? I thought to myself as I began racing to my room.

I picked up my phone and dialed Cassy's number into it. "Pick up the phone!" I murmured as the phone continued to ring.

"Hey girl, how you been?" "There's no time for all that now cass, I'm in deep shit". I said, as I paced back and forth the room.

"What's wrong hon-" I cut her mid sentence before she could even finish up whatever she was saying.

"How do I get a boyfriend before tomorrow night?"

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."

HONEY MULLINS
4.5

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."
