"Sign the divorce paper,"

"You... want a divorce?"

"Sandra’s back. You know the drill,"

"Johann, I..."

"You don't love me. I don't love you. Our marriage is nothing but a filial duty,"

"Would it make any difference if... I say I'm pregnant?"

"That's bullshit, and you know it, Kendra. I always take precautions."

A request from a dying mother and a filial duty of a sole heir brought two innocent hearts together.

Johann Petersen had no choice but to break up with the love of his life, Sandra Fell. One cold winter night turned his life around when his grandfather demanded he married someone else, in the name of courtesy, friendship, and paying a life debt.

Kendra Summers knew from the start that Johann married her not for love, but she was hopeful that he would fall in love with her one day. Yet, on the night of their second wedding anniversary, before she could announce her pregnancy, he handed her the divorce paper.

Will their marriage end shortly and leave them broken?

Or will their child salvage the slightest chance of hope to blossom a love that is hidden?

Once Divorced, Twice Married

　　"When does marriage stop? When is it worth keeping? When is it worth fighting for?"


　　Because of the pregnancy hormones I have, I couldn't help but cry my heart out inside the car. I saw the driver checking me in the rearview mirror from time to time.


　　But I just couldn't stop myself from crying. Tears just kept going and going no matter how hard I tried suppressing them. 


　　"Damn you! Johann! Damn you!" I cursed in my mind. 


　　"Who do you think you are to call my precious little peanut a danger? Are you fucking kidding me? This is my precious little baby, you jerk!" I cried and mumbled inaudibly. 


　　Now I finally understood why he always insisted on wearing condoms and why he always had me get injected with contraceptives every time I visited the hospital. 


　　Now I know! Because he didn't want some risk of having any danger with me!
