While her initial relationship with Sydney was sketchy, Marina soo n began to appreciate her cousin, and when her heart opened to Sydney, Jenny swept in and claimed it as well. Her affair with the young writer went sour when her fiance discovered the truth, but with Sydney's help, Marina managed to break free from Francesca's hold.
