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.

Christopher's frown deepened when he heard Brad's name. Benjamin's solemn tone told him that something was wrong with his friend.
He became concerned.
"Is he all right?"
"No… His phone had been turned off since the previous day, so I came to check on him after work. I rang the doorbell several times, but he never opened it. I had to break the door. What I saw inside was really upsetting."
"Don't keep me hanging," he snarled, his breathing becoming heavy. "What happened to him?"
"I found him on the floor, unconscious," Brad explained, "and there were beer cans all over the place. His body was burning. I gave him a cold-water sponge bath and called the doctor. His temperature has subsided a bit, but he is still not opening his eyes."
"Did you call his parents?"
"No… I thought I'd let you know first."
"Don't tell them right now," Christopher said after some thought. "They will be worried. Stay there with him. I am coming."
