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.

"When I regained my power and influence, I hired private investigators to find my daughters," Sebastian said, wiping away his tears. "They tracked my elder daughter down to a wealthy family that had adopted her. I went to see her, but she refused to come back to me."
He smiled bitterly. "She didn't even recognize me. Her foster parents were everything to her. I didn't force her to come with me. I watched her from afar and saw that she was happy and well cared for. And that was enough for me."
He laughed. "I am glad that she keeps in touch with me."
He wiped his eyes once again. "Thinking that Barbe would also be happy with her new family, I stopped looking for her. But today, Maria reacted when she saw the housekeeping staff. She had to have known something about Maria and Barbe. If not, she would not have run away."
