"We're here with Adrien and Kagami Agreste!" Nadia exclaimed on live tv, "It's your five year wedding anniversary and we are happy to have you here."

Kagami sat next to Adrien with a baby girl on her lap. They smiled and waved to the cameras.

"We are sure you have plans so we won't take up too much of your time." she continued, "Would you like to hint at how you plan to celebrate?"

"We already have." Kagami answered with a smile.

"You did?" Nadia asked.

"Yep." Adrien smiled, "We got divorced this morning."


Nadia's jaw dropped. Everyone called them the "True Love's Pair" and here they were smiling about not being together, anymore.

"W-why?" Nadia questioned, unable to speak.

"You see, our marriage was a business arrangement set up by our parents." Kagami explained, "Adrien and I have no feelings for each other then friendship; we never have."

"Yeah. When we found out about the forced marriage, we talked to our lawyers and they saw no way out of it. The only thing was that we had to be married for five years." Adrien continued.

"But, your child!" Nadia panicked, hoping to salvage her story of love.

"Oh, that's Kagami's child; not mine." Adrien spoke.

"Adrien and I never consumated our marriage." Kagami declared, "Our honeymoon was more of a vacation from everything our parents demanded of us."

Adrien could tell the reporter was shocked, but he no longer cared about the backlash of the media.

"It was great! I didn't have to pose for stupid photoshoots! I got to eat whatever I wanted! It was the best vacation I ever had!" he smiled, "Also, that child belongs to her boyfriend of seven years."

She smiled, "Yes. I believe you have a son. You've been with your girlfriend for ten years?"

"Fiancée!" Adrien cried out, "I proposed the moment we got divorced."

"Congradulations are in order!" Kagami replied, cheerfully.


"You-You have a son?" Nadia managed to stammer out.

Adrien turned back to the reporter and answered, "He's two. He's adorable and as beautiful as his mother. He is tied for first in my heart with her."

"Wait!" the reporter exclaimed, "So you have been secretly seeing other people?"

Kagami shook her head, "It was never a secret between Adrien and I."

Adrien rolled his eyes, "I was already dating her, before our parents came up with this stupid arrangement."

"As was I." the new mother, answered, "We tried to talk with them, seperately and together, about our feelings not being romantic towards each other. We were informed 'our feelings' didn't matter."

"We got together and explained what was going on to who we were dating." Adrien continued, "They didn't like it, but we assured them that we weren't happy about it either."

"Adrien and I have lived in a two bedroom apartment, with the other room as a designated guest room." she smiled.

"Of course, that was a lie!" he smiled, "In fact, that was my room. I just kept my stuff in the master bedroom, in case if they showed up with no warning."

"Most of the time, Adrien wasn't even there." she informed them, "He was at his fiancée's place."

Adrien put a hand to his chest, "I deserve to be cuddled and loved. Only she could provide that."
