The Billionaire's Sick Wife
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.

Prologue
Jasper had a meeting with an important client. It was late when the meeting finally ended. When he came out of the hotel, he noticed it was raining heavily.
Jasper got into the car, hesitating whether to drive or wait for a while.
The rain poured relentlessly, its constant drumming on the car's roof forming a disquieting backdrop for his restless thoughts. He couldn't help but feel a sense of vulnerability and discomfort during the heavy downpour, as it stirred memories from his past he'd rather forget. Rain, in all its ferocity, served as a stark reminder of events he would rather keep buried.
Jasper's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and his eyes were transfixed on the rain-splattered windshield. He contemplated waiting for the rain to relent, but a sense of urgency stemming from Sebastian's request echoed in his mind, compelling him to push forward.
