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.

Two days later…
The office corridor buzzed with activity as Christopher emerged from the long meeting, deep in conversation with Brad. As they walked through the lobby, Benjamin approached them with his usual stoic face.
"Mr. Sherman, Miss Nancy has been waiting for you," he informed sullenly.
"Nancy!" A perplexed frown was etched across Christopher's face. He had not expected her to show up here. He hadn't scheduled an appointment with her. "Did she call for an appointment?" he asked.
"No… She just showed up in the morning when you were in the meeting," replied Benjamine.
Christopher's frown deepened. He wondered if she was in trouble again because of her ex-boyfriend.
Brad chuckled and said in a sarcastic tone, "Nancy doesn't seem to be the type to bother with appointments, Chris. Whether you grant her time or not, she'll find her way to you."
