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."

"Daddy! I really like this dress! "

"It's great that you enjoy it."

Shanna smirked at me, so I turned away and went about my job.

What else am I doing here?

Because of my family?

Ha-ha-ha!

Sheena, you are hilarious.

Your parents don't love you, not even your twin. No one knows who you are. I was just shaking my head with my thoughts. Sincerely, I can't help but feel hurt.

Who would be happy if your parents didn't love you? They can't even look at me.

I've never even gone out with friends. I also lacked study skills. If it hadn't been for Mother Esme, I might not have learned to speak, write, or read.

I feel like I'm in hell.

I'm not permitted to leave the house. Because if I go out, they will punish me. They did not feed me for a week.

They are cruel to me, but I endure because I love them. But are they? Do they love me, or do they only love me once they hurt me?

They've been around me since I was a child. My mother, Esme, was the only person who looked after me and taught me proper manners.

Their rage only grew because of an accident in which they blamed me for something I did not do.

For nearly thirteen years, I've been through hell with them. I was on the verge of giving up, but I kept going.

I want to be free, free of their own world, free of their pain and misery. Because I know I don't belong in their world.

Just be patient, Sheena;You can be free, too.

"Sheena! The Israelis have arrived! They're handsome! " Tina said. My only friend, who is also Carlos' maid,

Along with everything else that my twin should do, I consider her a sister.

"Your twin is getting married?! That's really annoying! Shanna thinks she's a wonderful daughter, psh! "

I just laughed at her because, aside from Mother Esme, she is the only person who is aware of my life's problems.

"You two, hurry because Shanna's fiance is already there with his parents," Mother Esme said, her eyes fixed on me.

I just smiled at her, as if to say, "I'm fine because I'm used to it."

which is true. I'm always fine.

I wore a face mask and a hat, so no one could see my face. This is also what my parents advised me to do. They don't want anyone to know that Shanna has a twin, who is me.

I came out and bowed slightly as I served the guests. I could hear the visitor's laughter right away.

I took a deep breath and leaned over to Mother Esme, who was waiting on the side.

"When is the wedding?" Dad asked, a smile on his face.

He is the one to marry my twin.
