Spoiled by the Comatose Beast
By @john1208
Zoya Moravec just wanted a nap. Instead, she was shoved into a heavy veil and forced to marry Lazar Kavali, a scarred, comatose billionaire whose 'curse' required a bride to wash away his bad luck. The Moravec family thought they were sending their useless, adopted daughter to a living hell. Zoya, a lazy genius who despises effort, thought she was getting a quiet mansion, a giant pet dog named Tsar, and a husband who wouldn't bother her. It was the perfect early retirement. But the 'Beast of Orava Springs' isn't in a coma. Exhausted by dynastic blood feuds, Lazar faked his condition to secure a quiet life. Watching his new bride treat his medical bed like a luxury lounger and outsmart his enemies without breaking a sweat, Lazar falls hopelessly in love. They develop a bittersweet, unspoken romance, communicating through silent, protective gestures in the dark, neither willing to break the illusion. But when the Moravecs realize the Kavali fortune is unguarded and try to swap their golden daughter back into Zoya's place, Lazar's ruthless side awakens. Will the wicked family survive the night when the beast finally rises?
