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 slipped the phone into his pocket and looked at Paul, who was approaching with a group of armed men.
"Hey, my friend. I didn't make you wait for me for a long time, did I?" Paul smirked and extended his hand in a gesture of friendship, but Jasper ignored it, choosing instead to walk away and display the weapons.
Paul sighed and drew his hand back, his eyes gleaming with greed as he looked at the fully loaded truck.
Jasper halted his steps near a crate and signaled for Michael to open it.
The crate was opened, revealing rows of sleek, high-powered firearms. Paul's eyes widened with avarice as he examined the weapons, his mind racing with the possibilities. He could picture himself as the new don, ruling the criminal underworld with an iron fist. Even Sebastian, the current kingpin, would have to bow down to him.
A predatory grin was etched on Paul's face as he eyed the minimal security around the truck, his confidence bolstered.
