Aries knew Joaquin would never kill her. If her death was what he wanted to begin with, he would've killed her along with everyone in the land of Rikhill. But he kept her and made her life a living hell while he enjoyed every second of her misery. 

After the news of her pregnancy was made known to her, Aries was left with zero hope. She went on a hunger strike, but she was forced to eat since Joaquin wanted to keep the child. Not because he loved the life within her, but because he knew birthing his child was the last thing she wanted. 

They kept away all the sharp objects and everything she could use to harm herself. In the end, Aries was locked in an almost empty room with woods sealing the windows. It was just her and the child in her womb. It had been two months since and her tummy was showing.
