“I was an orphan bought by the wealthy White family, but they never treated me as their own. To save their real daughter from marrying a heavily burned, comatose man, my adoptive mother threatened to pull the plug on my grandmother's ventilator. I was forced to take her place and marry the brain-dead heir of the Sterling family. My adoptive family locked me up and mocked me. My ex-boyfriend dumped me to get engaged to their real daughter, who proudly admitted she had framed me to ruin my graduation and my life. At the terrifying Sterling estate, my new step-mother-in-law humiliated me with a brutal prenup, warning me I would leave with absolutely nothing. I was treated like disposable trash by everyone I ever trusted, suffocating in a nightmare I couldn't escape. To secure my grandmother's medical fees and buy my ultimate freedom, I was forced by the terrifying family patriarch to sign a degrading contract. "Produce a legal heir with Axel within one year, and you get one hundred million dollars." How was I supposed to get pregnant by a man who had been a vegetable for two years? Driven by sheer desperation and the heavy, sweet aphrodisiac burning in the dim bedroom, I tremblingly reached out and unbuttoned my comatose husband's pajamas. But the moment my fingers brushed his scorching skin, the "brain-dead" man's dark, dangerous eyes suddenly snapped open.”
