The Vegetative Billionaire's Desperate Chase

When Sarah Mitchell reluctantly accepts $8 million to marry comatose billionaire James Thornton, she never expects him to secretly awaken on their wedding night. As the heiress of a struggling century-old restaurant dynasty, she has little choice but to play along with his dangerous charade.
Just as Sarah begins believing their arrangement might become real, James's ex-flame Madeleine announces her pregnancy at a family gathering. "I'm carrying the true Thornton heir," she declares triumphantly, leaving Sarah shattered.
Despite her humiliation, Sarah discovers their marriage contract makes divorce impossible. When she threatens to fight back, mysterious accidents begin plaguing her. Is James protecting her, or orchestrating her downfall?
"Because you're still mine," James growls possessively. "Papers or not, no one touches what belongs to me."
As Sarah's world crumbles around her, she must decide: Should she fight for a man who betrayed her, or reclaim her independence? And when flames threaten to consume everything, will Sarah Mitchell—once the convenient bride—rise from the ashes as someone entirely new?
