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.

Jasper emerged from the study during lunchtime. The food was served, and he sat down to eat. He wanted to tell Ella that he had sent her designs to a designer, but he paused when he noticed her distant and preoccupied. Her usual enthusiasm was missing, and she appeared troubled instead.
Jasper's expression changed from excitement to concern. He wondered what had transpired during these hours that distressed her.
On the other hand, Ella was torn between asking him about Paul and keeping her concerns to herself. At the same time, she was afraid that her query would upset him and make him feel offended. She didn't want to irritate him, but her thoughts were racing with uncertainties and questions.
Finally, Jasper broke the ice. "Is everything all right, Ella? You seem a bit...off. Look, the light won't turn off," he mocked, hoping to lift her spirits.
