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.

Uma menina pobre nascida com doença cardíaca congênita não tinha muitas esperanças para o futuro, mas sua vida dá uma guinada acentuada quando um homem rico e bonito a pede em casamento após seu transplante de coração. Foi a coisa mais surpreendente que aconteceu em seus 22 anos de vida. Abigail nunca imaginou que Christopher Sherman, um jovem empresário bilionário, se aproximaria dela e expressaria seu desejo de se casar com ela. Ela estava extasiada e aceitou sua proposta. Mas mal sabia ela que o belo rapaz de 32 anos tinha um motivo secreto para querer se casar com ela. Abigail entrou em seu mundo com muita esperança em seu coração. Mas casar-se com ele não era o final feliz. Era apenas o começo. Será que ela conseguirá impedir seu coração de se partir? O que acontecerá se ela descobrir seu verdadeiro motivo? ============= "A vida era fácil antes de eu me casar com você", disse Abigail com dor nos olhos. “Eu estava morrendo, mas eu estava feliz.” “Como assim?” Christopher agarrou seu braço. “Pare de falar besteiras e tome o remédio”, ele sibilou, colocando um comprimido em sua mão. Sob seu olhar ardente, Abigail se acovardou. "Você acha difícil atender ao meu desejo por um bebê? Já faz dois anos, Christopher." Ele não respondeu à sua pergunta. Tudo o que fez foi encará-la, agindo como mudo. “Por que sinto que você não se preocupa com meus sentimentos?” Abigail perguntou. “Você não me ama?” Seu silêncio foi a resposta clara.

“If you two aren’t dating, then why did you spend the night together?” My mother gave us both a questioning expression. The kitchen fell silent, neither one of us knowing what to say. “Please don’t tell me you two are just fucking?” Leave it to mothers to make everything awkward. - Hannah Oba was a badass by any measure – royal, rich and incredibly sexy. With an ice heart and sassy attitude, the rebellious princess had mastered the art of not giving a damn. Getting a job at one of the world’s largest corporations, she never imagined she’d get entangled with her boss’s adopted son, Park-Lee Junghwan. Junghwan was everything she hated – charming, kind and a ray of sunshine. With his puppy-like personality and sparkling eyes, something about the raven-haired boy just rubbed her the wrong way. However, when she accidentally spends a night with him, things quickly get complicated. Having no choice, Hannah is forced into a fake relationship with the one person she despises. But the line between the truth and deception becomes blurred when the demons of her past come knocking. Someone wants her dead, and they will stop at nothing to make it happen. Now everything she’s ever cared for is at risk, including the starry-eyed man with secrets pretending to be her lover. Can they overcome their enemies and escape her dark past? Or will they both discover that love is always a losing game? NOTE: This is a SHORT STORY of only 30 chapters. So if you're looking for a quick but captivating romance then this is just for you.
