Maya's gaze wandered over Alex's physique, and she felt flutter in her chest. She had never seen him like this before, and she couldn't help but notice how attractive he looked. Alex caught her staring and smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "Hey sleepyhead"

Chapter 1 THE UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER

Maya Petals stepped off the bus and into the winding road of the affluent neighborhood. She had been working for wealthy Chen family for a few weeks now, and the routine was starting to feel familiar. As she walked towards the grand mansion, she couldn't help but feel a pang of unease. The job was a means to an end, a way to provide for her younger brothers after their parents passing.

As she entered the mansion, Maya was greeted by the stern face of Mrs Chen."Good morning, Maya. I expect the living room to be spotless today. We have guest arriving soon."

Maya nodded and got to work, her mind wandering to her brothers and the stack of unpaid debts on her kitchen counter. She was so lost in thought that she didn't notice the figure standing on the doorway, watching her.

"Mother I'm home" A deep voice announced, breaking Maya reverie.

Maya turned to see Alex Chen, the Chen's son, leaning against the doorframe. His piercing gaze made her feel like an insect under a microscope. She quickly looked away focusing on the dusting.

"Welcome back, Alex." Mrs Chen said beaming with joy. "I hope you're enjoying your summer break".

Alex nodded, his eye fixated Maya. "It's been interesting so far; sadly it's almost over. I'll go get some lunch, what's available?"

Maya's heart skipped a beat as Alex walked towards her, his eyes never leaving hers. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she passed by, his proximity making her acutely aware of her vulnerability.

Little did she know, this encounter would set off a chain of events that would change her life forever.

"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?"
