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.

Remorse and gratitude
Abigail couldn't hide her inner struggle, and her demeanor went from cheerful to depressed. She realized she couldn't avoid the subject any longer. She sighed and admitted, "I know I angered everyone. I messed things up. But I couldn't stand by and watch Lance torment Elsa for his own gain. I am aware that the repercussions of my conduct may have been far worse. I couldn't imagine what could have happened."
She paused, her emotions welling up, before continuing, "At that moment, I wasn't thinking much. All I could think of was the pain Lance had caused Elsa and the kindness Jasper had shown me." Abigail's eyes welled with a mix of gratitude and regret. "I owed him a lot. I wanted to repay his favor."
Vivian frowned in response to Abigail's explanation, questioning the extreme lengths she had gone to. "At what cost?" she asked pointedly. "Are you willing to give up everything to repay his favor? Even your child?"
