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.”
