"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

　　"Despite your dishonesty and love for another woman, I will still choose to protect you and this little thing we have had."


　　The morning came, and I found an empty space on Johann's side. Realizing he didn't come home to me all night burdened my already heavy head.


　　I was still contemplating last night when I heard the knock with a bit of urgency in it. 


　　"Lady Kendra, are you awake?" an old voice came within the walls. 


　　"Lady Kendra, may I come in?" another call was made. 


　　I tucked my sheet under because I wanted to stay in bed the whole day. Today will mark the end of our marriage, so I wanted to just be left alone before I talk to Grandpa. 


　　But I didn't escape Aunt Chen's persistence. As she entered the room, she removed the sheet that was covering me. 


　　I frowned when the light hit my eyes. So I immediately covered them with my hand. 


　　"I am so sorry Lady Kendra, I didn't mean to, but your grandpa is looking for you," she apologized.
