The backyard pool was her favorite spot this morning. Perhaps due to exhaustion, her entire body felt sore, which at least had allowed her to sleep soundly without interruption. A cup of hot coffee she had brewed herself kept her company. Honestly, she had never lived this peacefully in her own home before.

Her long legs dangled into the water; she wanted to swim but was too afraid of drowning. She remembered the last time she had ever swam was at the age of eight in a river with her peers. That memory ended with rattan cane marks on her small calves because she had dared to play in the water. Nathan’s presence had turned her life for the better, though sometimes, he was the very person who triggered her trauma.

She aimed her phone at her legs dangling beautifully into the clear, bluish water—a reflection of the tiles—and impulsively uploaded the photo to social media for the first time. Suddenly, a message arrived on her account:

"Such beautiful legs; surely the face is just as lovel

  • Second Wife From the Brothel   WOUNDS OF THE PAST

    WOUNDS OF THE PASTYuan sat in front of her vanity, staring at the wrinkles starting to form on her face. She was still beautiful, but the wrinkles bothered her. Her reflection showed a woman barely containing her rage."Arghhh!!!".Yuan swept all the cosmetics off the table, leaving the room in a mess. Her hands were tightly clenched; heartache, resentment, and hatred swirled together."Watch out, Arini! You shouldn't act like this toward Yuan. It seems she has forgotten one thing: she once kissed my feet like an animal. I promise myself I will make her realize her true place".Yuan was furious. She recalled the intimate scene between her son and Arini. Now she felt she was facing a bolder version of Arini, especially with Nathan now tending to side with her. He could no longer be provoked by his mother. Nathan had truly changed, ignoring his promise to hurt Arini until she vanished from the earth."How dare she play games with Yuan!" she growled.Yuan stood up and went to the bed. S

  • Second Wife From the Brothel   ARINI HAS CHANGED

    After Irish headed to the kitchen, Nathan also began to get up from his seat, making Monica feel a bit suspicious. Her eyes narrowed, gifting him an intimidating gaze that forced Nathan to rack his brain for an excuse."Where are you going?" Monica probed."To whatever corner I want. This is my house, isn't it?" Nathan replied nonchalantly. Monica rolled her eyes lazily and chose to stop asking, especially since he wasn't heading toward the kitchen.Without Monica’s knowledge, Nathan doubled back and approached Irish. He pulled Irish into a secluded spot; his muscular hand gripped the maid’s neck cruelly, leaving Irish terrified and able only to stare at his wicked face."Don’t get happy just because you've managed to keep your distance from me! I’m still watching you," he hissed. "If you dare leak anything to Monica, your family will be the target. Do you understand?!"."Y-yes. Please let me go, Sir!".Nathan shoved Irish and walked away, satisfied with having terrorized her. Monica,

  • Second Wife From the Brothel   AGAINST YUAN

    Everyone in the room was shocked, and Yuan was no exception. Seeing the courage in Monica's eyes, Yuan decided to stop looking for the look of fear that Arini used to show her. Monica tried to regain her composure; she maintained a smile and told Yuan to stop acting as if she didn't recognize her.“Mother, I am trying to fix everything. Please do not blow a problem out of proportion that shouldn't be a problem at all!” Monica said.“Fine,” Yuan finally replied. She could not keep arguing or fighting with Monica because, in reality, the person she was facing was not Arini. To break the tension, Monica shifted Yuan's emotions by inviting her to eat together. Her personality was truly worlds apart.Yuan was now beginning to understand that Arini was not actually a beloved daughter-in-law; instead, she was a poor girl who had often been mistreated. Yuan wondered why her own attitude had been so sweet at the hospital, acting as if she loved Arini the most and as if she didn't care about he

  • Second Wife From the Brothel   I AM NOT ARINI

    The dark sky was somewhat captivating, drawing those two eyes to focus on a single direction even though not a glimmer of light was visible on the horizon. The upper balcony was swept by winds as cold as snow, yet the girl remained still, standing there while tightening her thick clothing."Mother, I do not know what you look like. Perhaps I will only feel longing without ever meeting you. They say you were soft-hearted, gentle in speech, a patient and obedient person".Unconsciously, the corners of her eyes grew damp. For the umpteenth time, she felt weak whenever she remembered her mother—especially when bitter memories replayed like an old film full of suffering. A little girl for whom even playing felt like committing a great sin; so many wounds she had to heal on her own, receiving looks of pity and compassion from the neighbors.The man who should have protected her and been her first love instead accused her of being a murderer and a bringer of bad luck. A cursed child who thre

  • Second Wife From the Brothel   YUAN'S SUSPICIONS

    “You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?” Yuan probed. She kept her eyes locked onto Nathan’s to detect any hint of a lie.Nathan remained silent. He was worried that Monica might be subjected to the same abuse Yuan had inflicted upon Arini. He knew his duty, but he wasn’t ready to fulfill it just yet; Nathan needed time to resolve his own issues.“Is Arini being defiant again?” Yuan asked.“Mother, be quiet! This isn't about Arini. Nathan is just having trouble with our corporate competitors. That’s all,” he lied, trying to sound convincing.Yuan fell silent. Somehow, she felt Nathan was hiding something from her. Her reason for coming was to clear up the oddities she had noticed while she was still in the hospital.“Are you sure the woman with you is Arini?” “What do you mean, Mother?” “Nathan. Arini was raised by my own hands. I know what she is like. She may still look polite, but Arini is not the type to talk much. The way she smiles, the way she jokes—where did she get th

  • Second Wife From the Brothel   NATHAN'S SLAVE

    “I think I have to go to Nathan’s house tonight. It’s impossible to just keep ordering fast food. Or should I hire a private chef for the house? Or maybe I’ll just ask one of the servants from that house to stay here; I think there are too many of them over there anyway,” she murmured to herself.Monica got ready, applying minimal makeup before grabbing the slim device she never let go of. The car she ordered was already waiting in the courtyard. Since she couldn't drive yet, her private car sat idle in the garage. Along the way, she tried to restrain herself from smoking, chewing on several candies to distract from her bad habit, considering smoking might be prohibited inside the vehicle.Before long, the car stopped in front of the gate of Nathan’s luxurious mansion, a building she rarely visited. Her long legs led her inside as the gates swung wide open to welcome her. The beautiful woman, who bore a striking resemblance to Arini, no longer felt hesitant. She entered without feeli
