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.

The outing

Jasper finally finished his work and left the study at around midnight. As he walked over to his room, he noticed the lights in Ella's room were still on. He frowned at the prospect of her staying up so late. Concerned, he made his way to her door, eager to check in on her and perhaps steal a few private moments together. 

Though he longed to spend time with Ella, the presence of Elsa at home had restrained him from approaching her freely. He maintained a safe distance from her and hardly talked to her.

He had considered informing his sister about Ella, but things had not gone as planned. Elsa was dealing with her own sorrow. He wanted her to heal first before telling her about the joy of his life.

Quietly, Jasper entered Ella's room and found her hunched over her drawing tablet, completely absorbed in her work. He closed the door behind him and approached her.

As the door clicked shut, Ella lifted her head, meeting Jasper's gaze.
