A poor girl born with congenital heart disease has not had much hope for the future, but her life takes a sharp turn when a wealthy, handsome man proposes marriage to her following her heart transplant. It was the most surprising thing to happen to her in her 22 years of life. Abigail had never thought that Christopher Sherman, a young, multibillionaire businessman, would approach her and express his desire to marry her. She was ecstatic and accepted his proposal. But little did she know that the 32-year-old handsome guy had a secret reason for wanting to marry her. Abigail stepped into his world with a lot of hope in her heart. But marrying him was not the happy ending. It was just the beginning. Will she be able to keep her heart from breaking? What will happen if she discovers his true motive? ============= "Life was easy before I married you," said Abigail with pain in her eyes. “I was dying, but I was happy.” “What do you mean?” Christopher clasped her arm. “Stop talking nonsense and eat the medicine,” he hissed, placing a tablet in her palm. Under his fiery gaze, Abigail cowered. "Do you find it difficult to meet my demand for a baby? It has been two years, Christopher." He didn’t answer her question. All he did was stare at her, acting mute. “Why do I feel like you don’t care about my feelings?” Abigail asked. “Don’t you love me?” His silence was the clear answer. ============= A special thanks to Aurora, my editor, for her helpful suggestions on how to improve the synopsis.

In a restaurant…
After a long-stretched silence, Vivian finally opened her mouth, "Look, Eddie… you should know that I will never fall for you, so stop coming after me. Stop this madness of trying to win my heart in three months. This is reality, not your father's fantasy novel. Be wise and quit all this. You have no idea how dangerous my father can be."
Eddie smirked. "I am glad to know that you still care about me."
Vivian dropped the spoon on the plate and gave him a hard look. "This is not a joke. I am serious."
"I am not joking either," he said firmly. "When I say I like you, I am telling the truth."
Vivian sighed; the agitation was clear on her face.
"Why are you not getting it? What you are dreaming about is not possible. You and I can never be together."
She expressed her concern and fear for the first time. It happened spontaneously. Her emotions came out, and she couldn't hide them behind her cold face.
