All Chapters of The Billionaire's Sweet Contract Wife: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Sophie’s pov"You're limping around and you think you're going to college? You're so selfish! Your brother doesn't even have money for his wedding and you presume to waste your time in school with our hard-earned money? You'd better forget your stupid dreams and concentrate on finding a husband! Bring home a decent dowry and do something useful for once at least!"My father followed and scoffed, "Who told you to be a hero? Rushing in front of a car to save a stranger! We had to pay for your treatment with every penny we saved, you reckless fool. You ruined us, and for what? For someone you don't even know!"I shivered as my parents' harsh words hit me, my eyes tearing up as I remembered the reason for my lame leg.A week ago, I was walking down the street, headed to register for university. I got my leg hit by a car because I tried to save an old lady crossing the street.But my parents didn't think it was worth spending money to save a daughter's leg, and I was forced out of the hosp

Sophie’s pov ;I barely had time to react before she viciously yanked out my IV tube, snarling, "You little bitch! You think you can dream of getting close to Dominic? How dare you seduce him!"Pain shot through my arm, radiating all the way up to my shoulder, but my head was so heavy with meds that I could barely keep my eyes open, let alone move. My vision swam, and my body instinctively recoiled from her, but that was all I could manage. I couldn’t even lift my hand to protect myself from the venom in her voice.Who's she, and why is she hurting me?"You country bumpkin," she spat, her voice dripping with disdain. Her perfectly manicured fingers gripped the bed rail, and she leaned in so close I could feel her breath against my cheek. "You reek of poverty, and yet you dare to look down on me? Do you have any idea who I am?" Her eyes were wild, her expression full of rage. "One call from me, and your entire life will be ruined."I was shaking, both from the pain in my arm and the vi

Sophie’s pov ;The assistant drove me back to the hospital, and I stayed quiet. I didn’t want to cause any trouble, so I kept my thoughts to myself. I noticed his eyes glancing at me through the rearview mirror, and after a while, he started a conversation.“Did you just start college this year?”“Yeah,” I nodded. “I started late, so I’m only a freshman now.”I had always been good academically, but my parents didn’t want me to continue my studies. They expected me to stay home and take care of my younger brother. Twice they forced me to drop out.But despite that, I wasn’t stupid. I knew that if I didn’t finish my education, I wouldn’t have a future. So, I fought my way back, enduring all the challenges. Finally, I got into my dream college—though I was delayed by two years.Once I regained my ability to walk normally. I hoped to return and finish what I started.I glanced at the assistant. “Please let the sir know that after I recover, I’ll voluntarily divorce him. I won’t be a burd

Dominic’s pov ;After leaving Sophie’s ward, I pulled out my phone and dialed my assistant. As the line connected, I glanced back towards the door.Her request was a simple matter, one I didn’t need to personally handle.“Sort out the issue with Sophie’s university,” I said as soon as he answered. “Make sure everything is handled before her discharge. I don’t want any complications.”My assistant hesitated slightly, which wasn’t like him. “Mr. Dominic, I’ll handle it. But, sir, there’s something else…”I frowned, immediately suspicious. “What is it?”“It’s about what happened when we picked her up earlier. There were…incidents with her family. They made things quite difficult.”As he explained the details, my grip on the phone tightened, anger slowly building. I already knew she hadn’t been living well, but I hadn’t realized how miserable her life with her family truly was.I cut him off abruptly. “I understand.”Hanging up, I stared out the hospital window. What kind of parents would

Dominic’s pov ;“Come with me,” I placed the empty glass back on the table. I took Sophie’s wrist without a second thought, guiding her out of the room. “I'll take you shopping.”Normally, I have a serious phobia of physical contact, especially with people who get too close, but oddly enough, holding her hand didn’t irritate me. Maybe it was because she wasn’t wearing heavy perfume, just a faint scent of flowers and milk. It was…almost tolerable."Sir, why are you taking me shopping in person?" Sophie asked out of curiosity.Her question caught me off guard, and I felt a twinge of irritation. "Don’t ask so many questions," I said sharply, making her flinch.In reality, I had been pulled away from a meeting, unable to ignore my grandmother's incessant phone calls about Sophie. "She’s your wife, if you don’t take care of her, who will?” That’s what she told me.Sophie’s face fell after my abrupt response, and she dropped her head, clearly disappointed. I clenched my jaw, feeling that fa
