Married to the Sleeping Billionaire

"Fifty million as a dowry to the William Family, and Miss William should be married off!" Sofia William was shoved into the car. Through the window, she saw her adoptive mother, Julia, holding the real William Family daughter, Erica William,with a smug look on her face. Today was supposed to be Sofia's wedding day, but she didn't even know who the groom was. All she knew was that he was in a vegetative state and had given the William Family for Fifty million. The family couldn't bear to let their biological daughter suffer, so they sold Sofia, the adopted one, like a commodity. Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Sofia curiously asked the butler in the front seat, "Excuse me, who is your young master?" The butler glanced at the rearview mirror and replied coldly, "It doesn't matter who my young master is. Just remember, as long as you're alive, you belong to him” Sofia's heart sank to the bottom. She almost forgot that the only condition during the proposal was that divorce was absolutely not an option. So, her life was over. The black Rolls-Royce stopped in front of an old mansion. Before Sofia William could react, the butler shoved her into a room. "The young master is inside." As soon as she entered, a foul, sour smell almost made her retreat. Keira nearly gagged out but was rendered speechless when she saw the man. Harland Milton. The Milton Family was rumored to be as wealthy as a nation, the richest in the country. Harland Milton was the CEO of Cosmos Group, controlling half of the world's economy. He had graced the covers of financial magazines since his teens, a genius with an IQ over 160… The outside world knew Harland as domineering, cold, and ruthless. But who would have thought that after disappearing for a year, he would be living in such a filthy, stinky little room, unable to take care of himself! Had Harland become a vegetable and been abandoned by his family? She, too, was someone abandoned by her family… Thinking of this, Keira looked at him with pity, then went out to find cleaning supplies.After tidying up the room a bit, she glanced at the man again and found some hot water and a towel. This man, whom she never thought she would encounter in her lifetime, now lay quietly before her, allowing her to do as she pleased. She began to remove his clothes. Sofia William blushed and bit her lip. "I'm not doing this on purpose. Just think of me as a tool and don't mind me." She closed her eyes and reached out her hand. But as soon as she touched him, she suddenly felt his body move slightly. "Ah…” She screamed but immediately covered her mouth. Wasn't he supposed to be in a vegetative state? He shouldn't be able to move... Sofia nearly bolted out of the room. Gathering her courage, she opened her eyes, only to see the man still lying there motionless, his eyes tightly shut. So, he hadn't woken up. The movement must have been her imagination. After all, it was her first time doing something like this, and she was too nervous. She got up, grabbed the hot water, and ran out. The large villa remained silent until evening when there was finally some noise outside. A drunken servant stumbled in and was startled. "Ah, you must be the young mistress who was brought here..." Brought here... Sofia felt saddened in her heart. "Yes, why is there no one here? Where are the Milton family members?" "Hmph, who would come to see a dying man? It's bad luck. I just came in to see if there was anything valuable..."said the drunken servant. A dying man, and the Milton family wouldn't even look at him? Sofia sighed deeply as she prepared to help Harland to bed. Just then her phone buzzed. She checked it and saw a single message: “Room 1004,Royal Hotel. I'm waiting for you.” Alexander Clark! He wants to meet her? Thinking about her long-time love with Xander,and how they almost get married before she was forced to marry a vegetable man, Sofia's heart ached. How would Xander react if he knew she was married. Sofia quickly gathered her things,left the house and hailed a cab. Following the message,she arrived at the hotel. Standing in front of the room,she was about to knock when she heard her sister Erica Williams voice from inside. “Xander it's all my fault.If I hadn't been with you,I could have married that comatose man instead of Sofia. I regret it so much…” “It's not your fault,”a man's voice responded.” You're the true heiress of the William family.Sofia has taken your place for so many years.Now that you've been recognized,how could we allow you to marry that comatose man and waste your life?” Sofia's heart sank as she listened to the conversation, feeling a mix of betrayal and sorrow. “But I heard from their butler that the young master might die soon.when that happens maybe Sofia can come home,and you can be with her.” “What nonsense are you talking about? I love you,not her.Even if she comes back,I won't be with her! I haven't touched her all these years.if it weren't for her clinging to me,I would have broken up with her a long time ago.Now be good and let me love you properly…” “Xander…” Sofia stood frozen in shock, covering her mouth in disbelief. She had thought she owed Erica Williams,that she was repaying the William’s family kindness and making up for Erica by agreeing to the arranged marriage. But the man she had loved all her life,had been involved with Erica all along!. She had been played and deceive from the beginning,like a fool! Suddenly, Sofia felt her body go weak and fell collapsing to the ground. The sound coming from inside the room pierced her heart in pain! She wanted to escape from the nightmare,but it was as if all there strength has been drained,leaving her unable to move. She didn't know how much time has passed,but the noise inside the room finally subsided.With a click,the door opened. A shadow loomed over her: "Sofia William you saw everything, didn't you?" Erica William's face still bore the flush of recent activity. She grabbed Sofia's hair with a smug expression. "Xander has been with me for a long time, but because of your engagement, he didn't have the guts to tell you!" "Well, now everyone will know the truth. You married a comatose man for money. It wasn't us who betrayed you; it was you who was sold out for cash. Sofai William's eyes reddened as she stared at her in disbelief. "Erica William! I was forced to marry him in your place!" "In my place?" Erica twirled a strand of her hair around her slender fingers, laughing so hard she nearly doubled over. "Sofia, do you really think Mom and Dad kept you in the William Family out of kindness? You're nothing but a dog we've been raisingand feeding for twenty years! Mom and Dad took care of you for two decades, and now you can repay the William Family by fetching Fifty million. That's the last bit of value you have!”
