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.

As the seconds ticked by, Jasper's grip loosened, his own awareness returning. An awkward silence settled in the room.
Jasper scratched his brow and looked left and right while Abigail dropped her eyes on her lap.
"How is Papa?" she asked slowly, breaking the silence.
"Um… His condition is improving. Don't worry. He will contact you soon. We are on a mission to clean up the moles among us. Once I find the source of this threat, I swear, I'll destroy it."
There was more to his words—a steely determination that hinted at a greater purpose. As Jasper continued, his tone shifted, the fire of his conviction burning brightly. He outlined a mission to root out threats and eliminate the dangers that lurked in the shadows. His words were fiery and full of determination.
Abigail's gaze remained fixed on him, her astonishment growing with every word.
