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.

Christopher was kissing her.
Abigail was shocked and forgot to react. She was not shoving him away, nor was she kissing him back.
His kiss was not cold or dominating, unlike his demeanor. It was passionate and urgent as if he were telling her something that he had been unable to say with words.
Abigail was losing her grip on herself. She wanted to give in to him and melt into his warmth. But she kept her desire in check and managed to break free from his grip.
"Christopher… um…" Her words disappeared into his mouth.
This time, he was kissing her harder, deeper, with a feral urgency that she was familiar with. Such a fervent kiss would undoubtedly lead to ultimate intimacy, where they would lose themselves in one another.
Again at the office!
Abigail was terrified. She wanted to stop him. Before she could pull back, his arms were around her, firm and hard. She felt helpless, wanting to yield; the surge of desire had rendered her limp.
