"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 was in trance and almost fell into this woman's trap. My right hand was ready to slice my left wrist just because of this woman's game.


　　Good thing I realized it before it was too late. I threw the knife on the table and her eyes were bewildered.


　　"What are you doing? We had a deal," she yelled at me.


　　"Too bad I won't stoop down to your level, Sandra. Because taking advantage of someone's feelings, say sympathy, is not love at all," I lectured her.


　　But she had her own logic so she disagreed, "Huh! You're so naive, how can a person love someone if there's no sympathy."


　　I shook my head and reasoned with her, "Yet, self-inflicted harm just to use another's sympathy isn't love. That's madness, an obsession."


　　Her face darkened and was looking for an answer to rebut when she noticed the changes on my face. Why not if I saw my husband coming to us?
