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.

Abigail settled down on Christopher's secretary Misha's desk and flipped through the brown diary labeled "schedules for Mr. Sherman."
She carefully checked it and was surprised to discover that Christopher's dates were full till the next few months with meetings, luncheons, and business parties. Among all of this was a brief business trip that he had mentioned to her. It was not written here, though.
Perhaps it had been planned after Misha left.
She realized why he often came home late.
He worked so hard. Being the boss of such a large company was not an easy job.
She shrugged and focused on the day's schedules.
"Ahem… Someone seems to be busy at work."
Abigail raised her head and saw Brad smiling down at her. She returned his smile.
"Good morning, Brad."
"Morning, morning…" He leaned forward, placing his hands on the desk. "How is his mood today?" he asked, his voice as low as a whisper.
