"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

　　"I knew what they were planning to do. And Kendra and I can't let our guard down, not even tonight… our last night together."


　　As soon as the fireworks finished, Grandpa Jake immediately rested in his bedroom. I tucked him into bed and said goodnight. 


　　I held my pee for hours because of the tension happening earlier. Now that I am free to go, I can finally relieve myself. 


　　I went straight to my room and found it even more comfortable as I removed all my clothes. A formal dress like this really exhausts me. Now that it's gone, my body feels lighter. 


　　After relieving my stress, I decided to soak myself in a tub filled with hot water. 


　　"Oh, this is exactly what I need."


　　I rested my neck at the edge of the bathtub. It feels like the hot water relaxes my restrained muscles, especially my calves, and ankles.
