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.

Ella's face fell as memories of the hardships in her uncle's house resurfaced. "Whoever approached me only wanted to exploit me," she replied with a bitter smile, recalling the men who had tried to violate her. "No one cared about my feelings. They were just interested in my body."
Elsa's heart swelled with empathy. She reached out and patted Ella's shoulder, offering what comfort she could. "You are safe here, Ella. No one can hurt you anymore."
"I know. I'm safe under Mr. Wilkinson's protection," Ella affirmed with a grateful smile.
Elsa observed the subtle shift in Ella's demeanor when Jasper's name came up, sensing the depth of admiration Ella held for him. Was it merely gratitude or something more? Unable to contain her curiosity, Elsa decided to confront it directly.
Elsa stepped closer to Ella, her eyes fixed on her face. "Do you like Jasper?" she asked.
