All Chapters of Second Wife From the Brothel: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Yuan stood frozen with a look of pure shock. Arini had actually dared to fight back and show her teeth. This was not the look Yuan wanted; she wanted Arini to show the same guilt and fear she always used to display. It felt as if she were facing a completely different person; she no longer recognized the Arini standing before her."Forgive me, Mother-in-law. I only intended to protect myself. Besides, why is it always your habit to hurt a daughter-in-law as beautiful as me?" Monica no longer cared about her disguise as the weak Arini; this time, she wanted to stand at the front lines to avenge the heartache Arini had suffered since joining this family. One thing she was beginning to understand: it seemed Arini had been raised by this family and then forced into an arranged marriage with Nathan. The proof was Yuan’s own slip of the tongue, expressing regret for not finishing her off as a baby.Interesting, she thought. She now had her own agenda to investigate Nathan’s secret room; pe

Nathan sat leaning against the door, his legs stretched out in front of him, his gaze fixed on the hospital bed before him. His sharp eyes, usually like an eagle’s, were now filled with a mixture of sadness, confusion, and guilt. The words of William and Monica echoed in his mind. After Arini’s condition had worsened, he chose to hide her for the sake of her recovery. In his effort to distance Arini from the family that had hurt her, he began to realize that she truly deserved to be loved and protected.His heart had suddenly rebelled when he discovered Yuan had deployed many people to find Arini’s whereabouts; fortunately, he managed to turn those henchmen into double agents without Yuan’s knowledge, keeping Arini safe within her own home. However, the clever Yuan continued to use many tactics, eventually pretending to be gravely ill just to force Nathan to bring Arini back."Darling, I’m sorry I realized too late how precious you are," Nathan whispered. He didn't know that Arini had

"Get away from me! Hueek..." Monica rushed to the bathroom as a wave of nausea hit her, leaving Nathan startled. He had been just about to leave for the office, dressed neatly in his suit."Am I really 그hat disgusting?" Nathan wondered, sniffing his armpits and even his collar. He could only detect the scent of expensive perfume, yet Monica looked at him with utter loathing. When Monica opened the bathroom door and saw Nathan again, she immediately ran back inside to retch.Panicked, Nathan pounded on the door. "Monica, are you okay? Don't make me worry! Should we go to the doctor?" "Go away, Nathan! I don't want to see your face!" she screamed. Nathan frowned in confusion. A man as handsome as himself—with a face attractive from every angle and no visible flaws—was being rejected like this."Monica, what did I do wrong? Do you think I'm disgusting?" "YES! YOU SMELL TERRIBLE. I CAN'T STAND YOUR SCENT, AND I DON'T EVEN WANT TO LOOK AT YOUR FACE. GET OUT, NATHAN, OR I’LL WITHER AWAY I

"How did you end up being adopted by a woman as evil as Yuan?" Monica lay on her stomach on the bed, propping her head up with both hands. Her gaze was serious, consumed by curiosity. While other women might tear at each other's hair over a husband, Monica and Arini were different; they were like two sisters who had been separated for a long time.Arini sat in a chair, confused herself as to how she had entered this family. What was clear was that as she grew older, she was increasingly ignored, as if she were disposable."I don't know. I don't remember anything. I don't even know who my parents are, Monica. They just keep repeating that I was an abandoned child, picked up from a poor family. But I’ve never been told who that poor family actually is," she explained in detail.Because Nathan had been keeping his distance from Monica, she found it easier to slip in and out of Nathan’s secret room."Why not just run away? You’re the wife of a rich man; you have plenty of money to go as

Nathan ran frantically through the hospital corridors, his long strides taking him toward Ambar’s room. Regardless of how cruel she had been to Arini in the past, she was still his sister."Doctor, how is she?" he demanded of the physician who had just stepped out of the room."The patient’s condition is improving. She should regain consciousness soon," the doctor replied, calming him down. Nathan breathed a sigh of relief; at least nothing fatal had happened to Ambar.For some reason, he felt a sudden urge to contact Alex. He didn't care how busy the man was with his mistresses; he needed to know about his daughter's condition."Where are you?" Nathan asked curtly when the call connected. The booming echo of loud music was deafening, accompanied by the voice of a woman who seemed to be clinging flirtatiously to Alex. Alexander was never one to think before he acted, though he had managed to avoid any public scandals so far. Perhaps this was because he never tried to maintain a good p
