The Austin Arrangement novel Chapter 1

PROLOGUE

We were pronounced Husband and wife and I could tell by the look on his face that he wasn't happy about that.

It would be Newsflash to him that I wasn't either.

I didn't want to be married to any man,especially not JEREMY AUSTIN!!

The man that I will now call my husband,I have only met twice. Today being one of those times.

I know very little about him, only what I've seen online and what I've seen left a sour taste in my mouth.

My new Husband was a WHORE, who slept around with whoever offered themselves to him.

Going by what I've seen and heard, a lot of people were happy to offer themselves to Jeremy for one night of pleasure.

A cock made by the God's so some people say, the man is just one big cock in my opinion.

Jeremy is an arrogant billionaire that thinks he's better than everyone else around him. He doesn't have a nice bone in his body, just looking at him makes me want to cower into a ball.

From what I know, he runs a successful company alongside his Father Tom, he's the nicer Austin out of the two and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.

I glanced over at my Brother Finley as I walked down the Isle.

He was smiling and looking so proud.

He couldn't believe it when I told him I was getting married, to an Austin nonetheless.

"I didn't even know you dated, Ness." is exactly what he said to me.

Honestly,I didn't date. I was too busy trying to keep my family above water to even contemplate having a man in my life.

No,This secret is mine to keep. Jeremy doesn't know my side of things, he just knows that I agreed to marry him and he has his opinions about that.

He thinks I'm a golddigger but I can't really blame him, I married him today not for Love but for Money.

I didn't want to do this..But in the end I had no choice.

It's only a year,Vanessa.You can do it!!

THE DEVIL HIMSELF.

I'm sure most available woman in the room were looking up at the top table, admiring the handsome Billionaire that was sitting next to me.

A glance or two in my direction as I sat in the expensive white wedding gown that he had paid for, even in the dress it was clear we weren't from the same worlds.

Amongst the rich I felt like an Alien, it wasn't a life I was used to.

I was used to suffering and pain, working my butt off to make ends meet so my Brother could go to college and be the Doctor he's always wanted to be.

Going it alone was a struggle, that's when Tom Austin came along and gave me an out.

Today I married his son,not for Love like I had always planned but for money instead.

"I haven't forgotten."It's been a hard year, now that it was close to the anniversary it's going to be even harder.

We walked out of the hotel, feeling the warmth on a September's night.

The taxis were lined up and waiting outside the hotel to take people places.

"Right,I should get going."

I hugged my brother."I'll see you soon, make sure to call me and keep me updated on school.

Us Garcia's have to stick together."

He chuckled,pulling back from the hug."You're an Austin now."

Don't remind me. I can't even bare to think about it. I'm sure I'm going to have nightmare about this for the rest of my life.

"I'll always be a Garcia."I've just adopted the name Austin for a year, no longer.

Like a protective older sister I watched my Brother slip into a taxi and pull away from the hotel before I walked back inside.The Maybourne in Beverly Hills is definitely not where I imagined I would get married, The Austin's made the arrangements.

Arrangement..Hate that word!!

"There you are,Darling."Tom walked towards me in his expensive designer suit, beaming with happiness.

His son was married today,which meant his business would be on the up. Jeremy will look like a responsible man to prospective clients, which is clearly not the case. The Austin's have a part to play too.

"Here I am. Is everything okay?"
