Her whole life changed in the blink of an eye, she was betrayed by the man she had devoted her whole life to, he not only poisoned her but also sent her to another man's room.
My name is Aiden, marry me and I'll never make you sad or cry, you don't have to worry, we already had our first night together.
You didn't have to say it, I don't need love or care, I just need a husband. I'm ready to marry, but on one condition: It'll only be a marriage of convenience, we won't interfere in each other's affairs, and if you like someone, I'll divorce you. Scovia replied.
But things don't always turn out the way we want them to. Who would have thought that an unexpected pregnancy would turn things upside down at the very moment Aiden's childhood sweetheart shows up?
Will Scovia keep her word and let Aiden go as promised and raise the baby alone, or will she give up on her pregnancy?

Love is pain, marriage of convenience

Aiden chuckled. “Indeed. Seems you entrusted it to a very determined young man that night. A promise I never forgot.” 


Scovia’s mind raced back to a time etched in her memory. A flashback flickered to life… 


Years ago, a young Aiden, lost and grieving after his parents’ car accident, sat huddled in the hospital gardens. A teardrop traced its way down his cheek as Scovia, her own heart heavy from her grandfather’s passing, approached the bench. 


“You must have lost someone dear too,” Scovia began, her voice surprisingly steady. “But stay strong. There are still people who need you.” 


Aiden looked up, his eyes red-rimmed. “It hurts so much,” he choked out. 


Scovia, ever the pragmatist, reached into her pocket and pulled out a jade pendant. “Here,” she said, her voice soft. “This belonged to my grandfather. Maybe keeping it safe for me will give you strength, and if you no longer need it to comfort you , you can just return it to me “
