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.

Vivian gasped, covering her mouth in shock. She realized how much stress Abigail had been under.
"I needed to be very cautious. I wanted to reach you without alerting Britney." Abigail raised her eyes at Vivian. "I couldn't contact Christopher because of my own fear. I thought he would hate me…"
"Why were you afraid he would hate you?" Vivian asked, puzzled.
Taking a deep breath, Abigail revealed, "Because Britney is my older sister."
"What?" Vivian exclaimed, shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief. When she noticed all the gazes in the room directed at her, she swallowed in embarrassment. She leaned forward and murmured, "Are you saying that Britney is your sister? Your sister killed Alison! Do you understand what you're saying?"
"I know." Abigail nodded, her words barely audible. "But this is the truth… the bitter truth of my life."
