Chapter 2

In his presence, Ethan shrank from the center of attention to a pathetic, overshadowed clown.

"Julian… Mr. Thorne," Ethan stammered, his voice faltering. "Ava's had too much to drink. She's talking nonsense, please don't mind her."

Julian Thorne didn't even spare him a glance.

He came to my side, his intense gaze fixed on my face.

Then, with an unnerving calm that dismissed the entire scene, he spoke a single word.

"Alright."

Ethan's pupils constricted, his face a mask of disbelief.

Chloe turned deathly pale.

"Is this some kind of sick joke? There's no way Mr. Thorne would ever be interested in you!"

"Whether Mr. Thorne is interested in me or not is none of your business, Miss Vance." I linked my arm through Julian's, smiling brightly.

"As for you, after coveting someone else's fiancé for ten years, you've finally picked up the trash I threw out. Congratulations."

"You!" Chloe trembled with rage, looking at Ethan with teary eyes. "Ethan, she insulted me..."

Ethan hugged her protectively, but his glare held a raw ferocity I'd never witnessed before.

"Ava, if you dare walk out of here with him today, we are done for good!"

He thought that was still the trump card that could control me.

Too bad.

"We," I said, my voice cutting,

"were over the moment you humiliated me at our engagement party for the fifth time—for her."

"Now, I'm the one who doesn't want you, Ethan."

With that, I didn't spare him another glance. I took Julian's arm, turned, and left without a shred of hesitation.

The Convict Heiress: Marrying The Billionaire Novel Cover
9.6
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."
