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.

The unbearable anguish
The night was long, dark, and freezing. Some were having fun in the pubs while others were working overtime. Some people were hurrying back home, where their families were waiting for them. The fortunate ones slept soundly in their warm, cozy beds with their loved ones.
Some people, however, were in pain and wandering aimlessly down the street. Anastasia was among them.
She did not return home after she finished her shift at the hospital. She wanted to spend some time alone where she used to go with her sister.
Anastasia approached a street food stand selling fries, hotdogs, tacos, and burritos. Her parents were very strict about what they ate, and they never let her eat oily, spicy street food.
Anastasia never disobeyed her parents and always did what they told her to do. She was never a fan of street food.
