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.

Even though the evidence was in front of him, Christopher couldn't believe that Britney could be so cruel. He returned the phone to Vivian and sank into the chair in a daze. Lines of worry were etched deep into his face, mirroring the tumultuous thoughts that consumed him.
He stared at the floor, his gaze distant and troubled, unable to comprehend the gravity of the situation unfolding before him. He was not ready to accept reality. His hesitancy was visible on his face, leaving Vivian unhappy and furious.
She recounted the altercation with Britney, vividly describing the slap and the subsequent threats hurled at her.
"Then she followed us here. She didn't tell you that she was coming, and she met me directly at the restaurant. She argued with me and humiliated me."
Vivian remembered Britney splashing water on her furiously.
Each word that Vivian spoke struck Christopher like a blow, shattering the image he had of his sister.
