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.

The silence hung in the air. Sharon and Sophia gaped at Ella in disbelief.
"Come again!" Sophia said it inquisitively.
"You heard me right," Ella asserted, squaring her shoulders. "Return everything that you took away from me."
"How dare you?" Sharon's face contorted with anger. Without warning, she lunged at Ella and slapped her hard across the face.
Pa…
The crisp sound of the slap reverberated in the room, leaving Ella gasping in shock, her hand flying to her cheek in disbelief.
Ella's eyes welled up with tears, her heart racing with fear and indignation. She knew that she had to stand her ground and fight for what was rightfully hers. But how could she defeat these two formidable women, who had conspired against her for so long?
Sharon's eyes narrowed into slits as she glared at Ella with utmost disdain. "You have the audacity to say that?" She spat, her voice venomous.
