Married in secret to the love of her life, Marie Austin knew that she had to keep her feeling inside. This marriage was arrange and she had to prove herself to be a part of the Sydney family. She was a nobody to them, while they ruled this city, she was just a low level employee in the company. Before she could be seen as Darius Sydney's wife, she had to prove herself.

Chapter 1 Married in secret

Marie had always been ambitious when it came to her career, but she lacked the backing and attitude to get very far in a corporate world. Being the punching bag for your family would do that a person. She was the legitimate child of the Austin family, but was treated as the child of the mistress, while her half brother and sister got all the praise and attention.

When her mother got sick after giving birth to her, her father went out and found himself between another woman's legs. Marie was sure her mother died of heart ache more than her illness. But in the wake of her passing, Marie was left with a father who treated her like less than a servant, and a step mother who saw her as the scum of the earth.

Her half siblings were raised to hate her, she was alone in the world, and only her nanny, Patricia, ever truly cared for her, so when Marie was arranged to marry a man she never met, she was both sad and excited to be leaving the house that never felt like home to her.

Darius Sydney was a powerful man. The only reason she was made to marry him and not her sister, is the rumors that he was a cold man and also the fact that he refused to marry an illegitimate child. Everyone knew the story of the Austin family, no matter how much her father and step mother tried to change the story.

So now, here Marie stood, in a simple white dress at the court house to sign the papers with Darius. He barely glanced at her, took one look, nodded and signed. Marie was confused, but also signed her name, making her the lady of the Sydney family if only in name.

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"
