The Billionaire's Sick Wife
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.

Some secrets should always remain secret.
Abigail rushed into the house and saw him walking towards the stairs.
"Christopher… please don't ignore me. I need to speak with you."
Christopher was about to step on the stairs, but he pulled his leg back when he heard her loud voice. He stood there stiffly, without turning to her, and waited for her to speak.
"I went because he sounded disturbed on the phone. He asked me to help him, and I couldn't turn him down." She stepped towards him slowly, one step at a time. "He helped me and my mother many times in the past. So, I thought I should also help him."
She lowered her voice.
When she received no response from him, she mustered the courage to say the next thing.
"Jasper suspects you are to blame for the recent loss of clients at his company. He believes you are attempting to harm his business." Her voice was barely audible.
