Ending Our Marriage Was the Best for MeChapter 1

Three hours before our wedding, my fiancée told me not to bother picking her up for the ceremony, and registered her marriage with Khalil instead.

I endured the whispers and judgmental stares of the guests. Just as the humiliation threatened to swallow me whole, her younger aunt, Adriana, pushed open the doors of the hotel.

She arrived with the most extravagant wedding convoy, carrying 9,999 roses. With a sincere gaze, she confessed she had secretly loved me for years—that marrying me had been her dream.

Moved by her gesture, grateful for her rescue from public disgrace, I said yes.

We were married for three years. Adriana suffered seven miscarriages during that time, and only recently managed to get pregnant again.

Overjoyed, she stood on her toes and kissed me, promising to take extra care this time—to protect the baby that symbolized our love.

Three months into pregnancy, I accidentally overheard a conversation between her and her private doctor.

“Miss Adriana, just like the last seven times, the abortion medication has been mixed into the milk.”
