Sophie's world is picture perfect- a family who adored her, a lovestruck fiance and amazing friends who'd sacrifice anything for her- until a near death experience helps her discover that it was all a lie. After an asthma attack that leaves her in a coma and separates her ghost from her lifeless body, she comes to discover that her 'death' wasn't ordinary but was a sick plot to get her out of the picture and claim what belongs to her. But with the perfect family and perfect life, it is challenging to figure out who would want her out of the way. With no memory of the events before the incident, she struggles,with a little help, to make sense of everything.

Comatose Chapter 1 I'm dead

CHAPTER 1

Gasping, panting, heart pounding, beads of sweat dropped on the pillow from her face. She drew in a full lung of air as she awoke from her slumber.

There was a moment of confusion but Upon seeing the familiar structure of her ceiling and taking in the familiar scent of her room, she slowly began to calm down. She sat up slowly and swallowed hard.

"What a nightmare!" Sophie exclaimed.

Turning to her side she saw her sister, Taylor sitting beside her.

"Taylor, you're here? Thank God. I'm pretty sure I'd have been having a panic attack now."

Silence

"You won't believe the dream I just had. It was ho..rr..ii..ble.. I died. Can you believe that?"

silence

"Speechless? I know, right?"

silence

"Hey, you're not saying anything. You okay?"

Still no response. She looked carefully at her sister and saw she was crying.

"You're crying? What's the problem sis?" She asked placing her hand on her shoulder but to her utmost bewilderment, her hand passed through her.

"Whooooooooooh" she screamed. Shock registering on her face as she pulled back.

"What the.... Taylor, something is wrong with me. Why can't I touch you?" she asked as she made futile attempts to hold unto her.

There was still no response from her.

"Taylor, you're scaring me. Did something happen? Why aren't you responding to me? talk to me. Helloooo"

Taylor sat still, sobbing. There was no reaction to Sophie.

"What is going on?" she asked no one but herself.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of something on the bed.

Feets? Whose were they?

Sophie turns, but too slowly to be normal. She tried to say something but her voice trailed slowly, like her words are unwilling to take flight. There is fear in her eyes.

When she could finally speak, she could only let out a loud shriek.

"That's me on the bed. How is that possible? I can't be....no,no,no. Maybe it's another dream. What is this?"

She got frightened. Her chest hurts, and she feels as though she's consumed too much coffee in her head. nervous and trembling. She starts to feel increasingly confined, as if the air around her were suffocating her. She wanted to flee, hide, and run.

She rushed to the door and tried to open it but she couldn't hold onto the knob.

"Haaaaah! This is not happening."

"Taylor, do something. Call the doctor" She yelled but got no answer from her.

"You can't hear me. She can't hear me. What do I do?"

She paced about the room. She had lost all form of composure.

She tried again and again to hold on to Taylor ; anything, to let her know she was here but nothing worked.

"TAYLOR". She screamed.

Just then the door opened and a group of four hurried into the room.

"Mum, dad, is she going to be okay?" Taylor asked.

"We don't know. Let the doctor check her." Mr Tony said.

The doctor went ahead to check her vitals and what have you. All the while Sophie paced about.

"She's not dead...

Everyone sighed in relief.

"Oh thank you Lord" The elderly woman exclaimed.

" ... Yet. She's unconscious. In a coma you can say. "

"But how did this happen? She never forgets to keep her inhaler on her side stool or under her pillow " Taylor lamented.

"That's not what is important now, child. We're glad she's still alive. What do we do now? " Mrs May asked the doctor.

"Nothing much for now. We'll have to admit her in the hospital so we can keep close surveillance on her"

"Will she wake up soon?" Austin, who had been quiet since he stepped in, asked.

"Pray hard." the doctor said, throwing everyone in another fit of panic.

Seeing that none was yet to make any move the doctor said.

"The longer we wait, the higher the chances of losing her.

"What are you guys standing around for? Do you want me to die? " Sophie asked.

They sprung into action as if they heard her.

Mr Tony opened the door and the doctor walked out.

"Pick her up," May said to Austin.

"Why should I? What if....

"She's your fiancée for crying out loud " Mr Tony exclaimed.

Austin hesitated.

"Fine, I'll do it" Taylor said, trying to lift Sophie up.

With how jagged her emotions was, her movements were rough.

"Easy Tay, that's my body," Sophie said, seeing how Taylor moved roughly.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it. Move over."

Austin had no choice but to carry her but not without mumbling incoherent words.

***

The tears kept pouring as Taylor sat beside her unconscious sister.

"Soph wake up. You can't die on me. Soph please wake up."

"I'm trying kiddo," Sophie said.

She tried to get back into her body by laying flat on it, but it seemed not to be working.

It was as if Taylor saw this because the force with which she cried increased. It broke Sophie's heart.

"Stop crying kiddo. I'll find a way around this" she said stretching to wipe the tears off Taylor's face but again, her hand passed through.

"Arrrrggghhh" she screamed in frustration.

Mr and Mrs Silver stood by the door. They were heartbroken to see their daughters like this. One was lying unconscious and the other dejected. They were unsure of how to comfort Taylor.

"Tay, it's been over five hours now. Why don't we go back....

"No mum. What if she wakes up, I want to be here when she does"

"Do you think she'll be happy if she wakes up and sees you like this? You know she hates it when you cry"

"Listen to your mother Tay. I'll hire someone to watch over her. We'll be notified once she wakes up." Mr Tony added.

"Mom and dad are right. You should all go back and rest. I'll be okay" Sophie said.

Taylor looked at her sister.

"I'll be back Soph. Okay?"

After they left, Sophie tried time and time again to get back into her body but it was all a waste.

"This is crazy. What in the world is going on?"

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Reilly Mcardle

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
