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.

She was bored to death. She had hoped that Jasper would return home after work, but she had not seen him in seven days. The uncertainty of his absence left her feeling uneasy and curious.
Ella had been living in this big house alone. She had expected Jasper to return home after work, but she had not seen him after that day. Bored to death, she often wondered where he had been staying these days.
Unable to resist the temptation any longer, Ella decided to explore the off-limits areas of the house. She had already familiarized herself with most of the ground floor, but the first floor remained a mystery. Specifically, Jasper's room and the study were the objects of her fascination. What could he be hiding behind those doors?
