GLIDED CAGE CHAPTER 9
The dinner table had become a battlefield of unspoken desires and suffocating secrets. Every time Milo’s fork clattered against the fine china, the sound echoed like a gunshot in the tense silence. He could feel Jax’s gaze—heavy, hot, and unrelenting—tracing the line of his throat, the curve of his shoulder, and the way the fitted cream suit hugged his wide hips.Milo felt like he was being devoured without a single touch."To the future," Milo’s father announced, standing up and raising a crystal glass of deep red wine. The light from the chandelier caught the liquid, making it look like pooling blood. "To the union of the Vance and Sinclair-Wellesley legacies. To Jackson and Elena."The words hit Milo like a physical blow to the stomach. He felt the air leave his lungs. He looked at Elena, who sat perfectly still, her face a mask of neutral compliance. Then, he looked at Jax.Jax didn't pick up his glass. His massive hands remained flat on the table, the knuckles white. His eyes nev
GLIDED CAGE CHAPTER 8
The house was a flurry of activity that Milo usually found comforting, but today, it felt like a tightening noose. His mother, a woman of boundless energy and even more boundless love for her son, was in "Hostess Mode." The scent of roasting lamb and expensive wine filled the air, and the fine china—the kind that was only used for "transformative" events—had been laid out on the mahogany table."Milo, darling, please come here," his mother called from the master bedroom.Milo walked in, his shoulders hunched, feeling small in his usual oversized grey hoodie. "Yes, Mom?"His mother turned around, holding a garment bag like it contained the Holy Grail. "We are hosting the Vance family tonight. This isn't just a business dinner, Milo. It’s an introduction. A beginning. And I want you to look like the beautiful young man you are."She unzipped the bag to reveal a suit. It wasn't the boxy, charcoal suits his father wore. It was tailored, slim-fit, and made of a soft, cream-colored wool tha
GLIDED CAGE CHAPTER 7
The sunglasses felt like a heavy secret in the front pocket of Milo’s backpack.For the last three days, Milo had been a different person. He didn't just trudge to class; he scanned the horizon. Every time the distant roar of an engine echoed through the campus, his heart did a frantic, clumsy somersault against his ribs. He had spent hours in front of his mirror, touching the place on his waist where his hands had gripped the biker’s leather jacket. He could still feel the vibration of the Harley in his bones—a steady, powerful thrum that made him feel, for the first time, like he wasn't just a "porcelain doll" waiting to be broken."You're doing it again," Liam whispered, nudging Milo in the university cafeteria.Milo jumped, his face flushing a brilliant shade of pink that made his white skin glow. "Doing what?""The 'Daydreaming about the Mystery Knight' look. You’ve been staring at that apple for ten minutes, Milo. It’s not going to turn into a motorcycle."Milo ducked his head,
GLIDED CAGE CHAPTER 6
The rain in the city didn't fall; it descended like a heavy, grey curtain, turning the university campus into a watercolor painting of blurred edges and slick pavement. For Milo, the rain was a nightmare. It made his hair frizz, it made the ground slippery, and most importantly, it made his old, hand-me-down bicycle almost impossible to ride. He was pedaling furiously toward the campus gates, his legs straining. He had stayed late in the music wing, lost in the soft melodies of a piano piece he was practicing, and now he was late for his parents' anniversary dinner. Clang. The sound was sharp and final. Milo’s feet suddenly spun uselessly against the pedals. He wobbled, his heart jumping into his throat, before managing to plant his feet on the wet asphalt just before he toppled over. He looked down, his lower lip trembling. The chain had snapped, lying in a greasy, tangled heap on the ground. "Oh no," he whispered, the sound lost in the downpour. He was two miles from home, his
GLIDED CAGE CHAPTER 5
The week that followed was the strangest of Milo’s life. He couldn't shake the feeling that the air behind him was always just a few degrees warmer than it should be, or that the shadows in the corner of his eye were more solid than they had any right to be.He had gone back to his routine—head down, oversized hoodie pulled low, heart hammering against his ribs every time a group of boisterous students walked past. But something had changed. The world felt… cushioned.Milo sat in the back of his Advanced Literature class, his fingers nervously tracing the spine of a worn copy of The Iliad. He was thinking about the Shadow. Since that day in the park, the bullies had been strangely absent. Miller hadn't cornered him at his locker. The girls who usually snickered at his feminine walk were suddenly preoccupied when he passed. It was as if a silent decree had been issued across the campus: Milo is off-limits.He didn't know that three rows back, in the very last seat near the door, a gian
GLIDED CAGE CHAPTER 4
The weight of the sunglasses in Milo’s hand was a strange comfort. They were heavy, expensive, and carried the faint scent of motor oil and something else – something clean and masculine, like distant cedar or crisp autumn air. He had retrieved his broken glasses from the grass, the lenses spiderwebbed with cracks, a mirror to his own shattered composure. But these, the ones the shadow-man had given him, felt like a promise.He sat on a bench outside the campus library, the frantic energy of the earlier encounter slowly ebbing, leaving behind a cold, hollow ache. Who was he? The figure had been a blur of power, a fleeting titan against the harsh glare of the sun. All Milo remembered was the sheer scale of him, the rumble of his voice, and the swift, brutal efficiency with which he had dispatched his tormentors."Milo? There you are! I was so worried!"A soft voice pulled him from his thoughts. Liam, his best friend and fellow bookworm, rushed towards him, a worried frown etched on his
