My name is Aiviya. To save my family from bankruptcy, and under threat of my grandmother being used as a bargaining chip, my parents forced me to marry Yedis Carlin, the eldest son of the powerful Carlin family. This marriage was originally arranged for my sister, but when she found out that Yedis was rumored to be in a vegetative state, she fled abroad just before the wedding. Left with no choice, I had to put on the wedding dress and marry this so-called "vegetative man". The wedding was humiliating. The Carin family was contemptuous, and the guests' looks were filled with pity and ridicule. I was forced to sign the marriage contract that bound me to this terrible family.
I was on vacation in Dubai when I was called back home by a phone call from my mother because my grandmother was seriously ill.
When I arrived home, I was greeted with the cold and unfeeling words, "It's good to be back, you were told to come back in order to marry Grand Young Master Yedis Carin."
I froze, "Yedis Carin? Isn't that elder sister Alisa's fiancé? Where is elder sister?"
"He is no longer your elder sister's fiancé, but your husband."
I pressed on and asked outright, "Mom, why would you want me to marry Yedis Carin instead of my elder sister?"
Dad sighed, "The family company is going bankrupt and only the Carin family can save us."
"What about my elder sister?" I looked around and didn't see Alisa.
"She's out of the country," Mom said faintly.
"Out of the country?" I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe it, "If she doesn't marry, you'll let me?"
Dad looked at me coldly, "This is not a discussion, it's a decision."
Mom also said coldly, "You should be glad that this is the family's only chance."
"But you guys never asked my opinion!" I asked angrily, "I'm not getting married!"
"If you don't marry, you won't see your grandmother."
"You guys chose to lie to me to get me back!"
I was so angry that I returned to my room, my heart full of grievances and helplessness. My future, from now on, no longer belongs to me.
After crying for a long time, I dried my tears, took a deep breath, and tried to calm down.
There was no longer despair in my eyes, replaced by a firm determination, "I want to take control of my destiny!"
My parents, obviously expecting me to resist, had arranged for guards to guard the house, and even the windows were patrolled.
What worried me the most was my grandmother. She was the person I relied on the most growing up, and my parents wanted to get rid of her early. But ever since I came home, she was nowhere to be found.
That night, I overheard my parents' conversation.
"Carin's side is satisfied, and the wedding can be arranged soon. If the other party wasn't a vegetable, there's no need to have to force her to marry."
"As long as we join forces with the Carin family, the company will be able to tide over its difficulties. In contrast, her marriage was sacrificed for a worthy cause."
I clenched my fists, my nails pinching into my palms.
It turned out that Yedis Carin had become a vegetable in a coma due to a serious car accident, and in earlier years, the Carin family had looked for an expert to analyze the horoscope match between Yedis Carin and Alisa, and the results showed that the two horoscopes were highly compatible, and Alisa's horoscope, in particular, was thought to be able to bring good luck and prosperity to the Carin family.
However, unbeknownst to the Carin family, the so-called "lucky sign" was not Alisa's, but mine. For my elder sister to marry into a wealthy family, my father and stepmother secretly switched horoscopes and kept everything under wraps.
They hoped to wake up Yedis through "horoscope matching" because the old Mr. The Carin family believed in it, and thought that marrying the person whose horoscope was destined to match would bring good luck, and help Yedis wake up quickly.
But when my elder sister learned the truth, she directly fled the marriage and left the country. And I became the substitute that my parents used to remedy the marriage contract.
They simply just used me as a tool.
At this time, Mother said to Father, but uttered the words that he didn't intend: "The old Mr. The Carin family attaches great importance to this matching union. If she does not obediently marry, then quietly drugged to break her legs, the old man only cares about Yedis Carin whether to wake up. As. As for what kind of person his wife is, it is not important, the horoscope must be right! "
I never imagined that my mother would come up with such an idea to complete the union, that they would sacrifice my elder sister and me for the sake of profit, not only happiness but health as well.
Chills came up from the bottom of my heart, however, it was clear to me that I had no choice but to enter Carin's house in order to find clues to my freedom and grandmother. I decided to compromise for now, disguise my obedience, and wait for the opportunity to fight back.
The next day, at breakfast, my attitude surprised my parents.
"Dad, since this is the best option for the family, I'm willing to accept the arrangement."
My father gave a pleased smile, "viya, this marriage will not only bring the family out of its predicament, but it will also make you the great young grandmother that everyone envies."
My parents were quite satisfied with my performance, thinking that I had completely compromised. And I understood that the real plan had just begun ......
Seems to be afraid that I will regret it, they quickly prepare for the wedding, the groom is a vegetable, and even the wedding has become a walk in the park without the wedding formalities the assistant Blake on behalf.
After signing the papers, Blake gave her a wedding ring: "Ms. Ai, this is the young master's wedding ring, which is yours to keep."
The ring was as cold as this marriage. I put it on but vowed in my mind to take it off one day.
I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Blake, is the Grandmaster going to wake up?"
He looked up and replied, "The Carin family has done all they can, the rest is up to the doctors and luck."
I was lost in thought when I accidentally glanced at the words on Blake's file - "Darknet Investigation".
My heart fluttered as my code name, White Rose, appeared on the screen.
Suddenly, my phone received a text message, "Are you the legendary top hacker 'White Rose'? We urgently need you to help us recover the important contents of the surveillance video. Can you?"
At that moment, I immediately replied, "No time, sorry!" Is it possible that your family has something to hide?
Afterward, the wedding car drove into the Carin family mansion to pay a visit to Old Mr. Carin, surrounded by a full house of guests, all gazing with probing and contemptuous eyes.
Old Mr. Carin on the main seat nodded his head slightly, "The youngest daughter of the Ai family, the daughter-in-law of the Carin family, is not only an identity but must also prove herself by her actions.
I took a deep breath and replied with downcast eyes, "I understand, I will do my best.
After the wedding reception, I was put up in Yedis Carin's residence. It was classically luxurious, yet I felt disconnected.
I walked into Yedis' room and stood at the window, sighing as I changed from "Aiviya" to "Yedis Carin's wife".
Exhaustion made me fall asleep quickly, but I felt someone watching me, and when I opened my eyes, they were empty.
Maybe it was a hallucination. The room was empty.
However, a low voice came from the side of the bed, "Don't be afraid, it's me."
I opened my eyes fiercely and saw a man wearing a mask by the window. His figure was erect and sturdy, the lines of his face under the mask were very hard, and under his brown hair, you could see his turquoise eyes, which were staring straight at me.
I nervously asked, "Who are you?"
