Every night at exactly 2 a.m., my mother-in-law knocked on my bedroom door to interrogate me like a criminal. “Why did my son marry you?” she hissed. “What are you hiding?” But on the thirty-first night, when I opened the door, it wasn’t her. A barefoot woman stood there, soaked in rain, whispering, “I’m his first wife. They told everyone I ran away.”

Synopsis

At exactly 2:00 every morning, my mother-in-law knocked on my bedroom door like she was collecting a debt. But on the thirty-first night, when I opened it, the woman standing outside was not Vivian Mercer. She was barefoot, soaked from the rain, with a scar running down her cheek. “Don’t scream,” she whispered. “I’m the wife before you.”
