His Hidden Wife [Borromeo Series Book 1]
I’m trapped in this marriage…
Yes, I’m only a wife on paper. Legally bound, but not in the way we live our lives.
Six years have passed, yet I’ve lived like a single woman. But I’m not allowed to love the person I truly want.
If there’s anything good that came out of this situation, it’s that we gained a comfortable life—and we no longer live in fear of being hurt again by my alcoholic father.
And him? Enjoying his lustful life as if nothing happened in the past six years.
An educated woman, yet powerless to escape this prison made of paper.
“I didn’t ask for that money!! I worked for all of it. Why?! Don’t you remember what you did to me that night?! How you violated me?! How my body was left covered in bruises and marks?! You may have bought me with your money… but that will never change the evil thing you did.”
“You only made me your whore once, Ethan!! You feel disgusted with me? Well don’t you worry, my husband—I feel the same way too. I’m still haunted by nightmares of that lustful night… how you tied me up and pinned me to the bed… how you forced yourself on me so hard because you thought I was Sabrina—the one who hurt you!!! The only thing I did was sell myself to you, but I’ve been trying to forget it all and make things right!!”
“I am your wife, Ethan!!! Your wife on that damned piece of paper!!! So no matter what your mistress does… she will always remain just a mistress—as long as I choose it to be that way. And there’s nothing you can do about it.”

I had an order to fulfill. Quietly, I stepped out of the room, washed my face, and prepared a cup of coffee. The bitter warmth barely helped, but it kept me moving. Soon, I began preparing the lumpiang Shanghai for the orphanage. The filli

Chapter: CHAPTER 3: Broken Homes, Rising StarsSophia POV A month later… I was preparing dinner when Dad came stumbling in. My siblings immediately ran to me, clinging for safety. I placed a plate of rice on the table, which we would share among ourselves. “Piyang! Piyang! Where are you?!” Dad’s voice boomed as he entered our tiny, patched-up home. “Why, Dad?” I asked, holding my two siblings tightly. “So you three were just here!” he barked, his eyes wild. Drunk again. I could feel my siblings trembling. “You’ve been drinking again?” I asked softly almost like a whisper, trying to stay calm. “Mind your own business! Give me money!” he shouted. “I-I don’t have any. What I earned… I already used to pay off our debts—” my eyes widened and hold my siblings tightly behind me. “I know you have some! Give it to me!” He slammed the table, sending the plate of rice tumbling to the floor. “I-I don’t… I really don’t.” Fear froze me. He grabbed my arm, but Esang bit his hand. “Don’t hurt our sister!!” Becca screamed, hi

Chapter: CHAPTER 2: Bus EncounterEthan POV's I was about to head home when the car I was in suddenly broke down. I left it with my driver and decided to commute instead, covering my face with a mask so no one would recognize me. I’ve done this plenty of times before—especially back in college. It was rush hour, so the bus was packed. Everyone was practically squished together, including me. The bus stopped to pick up more passengers. I couldn’t help but shake my head—so crowded. Two women boarded. I guessed they were in their early twenties. One of them had an ID, so I assumed she was still a student. 'I smirk. Not my tea, maybe she's a minor. I glanced at the ID, and my heart skipped a beat—it had the same vibe as Sabrina’s. That girl… again. “Ugh! We got caught in the rain,” said the shorter woman with short hair. “I’m thinking about my siblings. Have they eaten already?” The long-haired woman said, and I felt a little nervous because she reminded me of someone. She had long hair, reaching below her
