Chapter 1 - proposition

"Get your hands off me, let go off me" Melissa yelled as she was dragged out of her cell. The sun light that was in the yard made her squint as she was flung on the floor.

She blinked rapidly as she looked around. This was the place were visitors came to see the inmates but she knew didn't have anyone to come visit her. So what the heck was going on?

"Leave us" A cold and authoritative voice snapped her out of her daze and the guards walked away. It was then she noticed that the yard was completely empty.

"W-who are you? And what is going on?" Melissa managed to choke out as the woman who was dressed demurely blew on her manicured nails gently. This woman was a very powerful woman, just with this look of her attire. She looked exceptionally beautiful and carried an aura of grace and wealth.

"You're asking too much questions, dear. Anyways I'm Lady Lydia and I have a proposal for you" Lady Lydia said with a smile as she walked over accessing Melissa, she nodded in satisfaction as she stopped right in front of her.

"What proposal. I don't even know you..." Melissa paused as she saw a fierce look in lady Lydia's. This forced her to bite her tongue and she looked away.

"I want you to marry my son" Lady Lydia finally said. Melissa chocked on her own spit, coughing in disbelief. She looked up at the middle aged woman. She must either be mad or derailed.

"Excuse me? Did you just say marry your son?" Melissa spat. Lady Lydia sighed softly as she stretched.

"Yes, I said marry my son. He is a wealthy billionaire and he is in need of an heir and based on the facts we found you. You're the right person for this job and if you accept the job, you'll be released from this cell and you'll come live with us immediately" Lady Lydia said. Melissa was about to refuse, wondering how it was all possible but then she thought about it for a while. If she refused she would remain in such a cell that fed her little or no food each day. Most importantly she could get revenge on her sister and mother.

Revenge for what exactly?

~~Seven months ago~~

Melissa had always been the spotlight of her family, mostly because of her look. Her strawberry blonde hair that flowed freely down her back and hung just above her curvy hips, her pink pouted lips that made every man go crazy just by staring at them, her baby pink doe eyes that made her look like a doll. She had big boobs and a bubble like butt that made her look almost unreal.

She had a lot of enemies but she had been so naive and stupid to not see it. Her step sister had always been jealous of her from the beginning but she couldn't see it.

One hot afternoon, Melissa had just finished her shift and the jewellery store she worked in. When her sister and her friends walked in.

"Hi guys" she greeted with a smile as she packed her things, she didn't know why she had this weird feeling but she needed to leave this store immediately.

"Hi sis, we're looking for a really expensive pink diamond necklace, do you think you can get that for us" Kara said as she looked around the store, her two minion's winked at each other and Melissa failed to see that this was were everything when wrong.

"I think I've seen that sort of necklace somewhere around here, I'll go fetch it, keep an eye on the store, my manager would soon be back" Melissa said as Kara nodded. "Please be quick" she yelled as Melissa made her way to the storage room.

"Naive bitch" Kara sneered as she picked a ring from one of the counters, it was a really expensive ring and she smiled as she saw it, she stuffed it into her sister's bag and then she brought out her phone casually surfing through the net.

Melissa's manager walked into the store as he saw some customers in there, he suddenly noticed that this was highly suspicious. "Where is Melissa?" He asked the customer and Kara was the one to reply.

"She went to the storage room to fetch something, we arrived just in time before she left" Kara said as she smiled sweetly at the manager. The manager dropped the cup of coffee on his desk as he stared to look around, making sure that everything was intact and that no one had stolen anything.

Melissa finally walked out with the jewellery as she saw her manager, she smiled at him but only got a frown in response. "Okay guys, here this is the jewellery" Melissa said as she placed it on the counter leaving her friend's to make their selections.

"Hold on, where is the limited edition Zara ring?" The manager said as he felt his blood pressure rising drastically.

"I just cleaned it not long ago, it was here before I went to fetch the ring" Melissa said as she walked over to where the ring was looking around. Kara snickered as she walked over to the managed, whispering something to him as one of her minion's called the police.

"You took the ring didn't you, you ungrateful bitch" the manager said as he grabbed Melissa's arm, he shook her violently as Melissa winced.

"I didn't take any ring sir, it was right there" Melissa said as she was pushed away. "Then I want to search you" the manager said as Melissa's eyes widened.

"Search me?" Melissa said as she heard siren's, looking outside, she saw the police get out of their car as they approached the store. The manager didn't respond as he went to her bag, he emptied the contents on the table as the ring rolled out of her bag.

"Oh my goodness" Kara exclaimed as they all turned to look at Melissa who shook her head as tears welled up in her eyes.

She didn't do it, she really didn't do it.

"Miss king's, you are under arrest for theft. Everything you say or do shall be used against you in the court of law" The policeman said as he handcuffed Melissa who cried quietly.

"I didn't do it sir, there must have been a mistake somewhere" she said as she looked at Kara for help but she felt her heart shatter into pieces when she saw happiness and pride in her eyes.

Her own sister had framed and sent her to jail, her own blood sister had made her seem like a villain and a thief.
