My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

No one said anything for a while before Hendrix's cold and stern voice broke the silence. "Andrea, I've said before that you don't need to make any decisions because of me. Arianna is pregnant, and if you want to stay in Ucrebury, I will take care of your everyday expenses. However, I can't be part of your love life. I have my own family!"

"Family?" Andrea's voice was a little sharp. "What about me? My brother has put me under your care, I..."

"Casper didn't ask me to marry you. Andrea, by the end of the day, we all have our own life to live." Hendrix was still indifferent.

"Do you love her?" Andrea asked with a trembling voice. "You don't love her at all. You just feel responsible for her because she's pregnant with your child. Hendrix Roberts, you don't know yourself at all. What you're feeling for Arianna isn't love, it's a sense of obligation. It's the same as how you felt towards me in the past, you looked after me because you felt obligated for my well-being!"

There was another brief moment of silence and that was when I thought it finally ended. As Josiah had still not made an appearance, I had no choice but to return to my room.

Then, I heard Andrea's voice again coming from Hendrix's office. "Hendrix, I'm begging you. Please let me stay by your side. You won't hear any requests from me anymore. Next time, I'll do whatever you want me to, just don't abandon me. After all these years, it's already impossible for me to leave you."

A marriage without love is capable of destroying a person. Although you're soon expecting a child, the child won't bring any happiness to both of you. Instead, the child will be a barrier that both of you can never overcome. You'll suffer a lifetime
