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.

Abigail waited and waited for him, hoping he would come out and join her for dinner.
Time passed.
The candles were half-burned, but Christopher never showed up.
Abigail's faint hope began to die. She had arranged all this excitedly since she got back home, anticipating seeing the joy and surprise in his eyes. But he ignored everything and left.
He didn't see the affection and emotions she had invested in all this. What was causing the change in his mood?
After sharing some passionate moments with him, she assumed he would start loving her.
He had not changed in the least. He was just as cold and mysterious as before.
Abigail rested her head on her forearms on the table, tears trickling down the corners of her eyes.
'Why cannot you love me?'
It was the same question she had asked herself numerous times over the past two years.
