He offers her a glimpse of something she thought was lost—desire, freedom, and a chance to be seen. But stepping into Julian’s world of wealth and influence comes with risks. He’s got secrets of his own and a toxic supermodel ex who is hellbent on winning him back.Then there’s Lucas too, who refuses to let her go without a fight. Sophia finds herself trapped between two powerful men. She must decide if she’s willing to risk everything for a chance at escape—or if she’s only trading one cage for another.

Cheating Husband
Sophia's POV
The sight in front of me causes tears to prick from the corner of eyes. My entire body shivers in horror as I gaze at a lady dressed in a red skimpy skirt sitting on the laps of my husband, Lucas while making googly faces at him.My heart shatters into pieces the same way the food box in my hand falls to the floor and shatters, spilling the content on the tiled floor and attracting the attention of the both of them to me.Just a few seconds ago, Lucas was smiling excitedly at the lady but the moment he noticed my presence, his smile disappeared."Sophia." Lucas calls out my name and jerks off the chair. He rushes towards me with a confused look plastered on his face whereas the lady just stands by the corner of the office, adjusting the hems of her skirt. "What are you doing here?" Lucas raises a brow at me. "Lu-Lu..." I stutter, I try to construct my sentence perfectly but I am too shocked to even call out my husband's name perfectly. I gulp a lump down my throat as a frown grows on Lucas' face. "I asked you a question! I said what are you doing here?" He growls angrily. My entire body shivers in fear at the harshness of his tone. I should be the one to be angry, I just caught him cheating on me on our fifth year marriage anniversary! "How can you ask me that?" I feel anger fuel in me. I scoff and wipe the tears off my eyes. "How can you ask me that Lucas? Do you not remember our anniversary at all?" I yell at him."So what?" Lucas yells back. "I warned you never to visit me at the office." Lucas did warn me never to visit him at the office, was this the reason why? Because he did not want me to find out that he is cheating on me? "I came to give you lunch like a normal wife would do to her husband.." I trail off shaking my head in disdain. "But what do I get in return?" I raise a brow at him. "A cheating and lying husband!" I yell angrily, my voice echoes loudly, very loud enough to attract the attention of other people at the company. "Sophia, you are causing a scene here, I need to leave my office this moment." Lucas says through gritted teeth. I ignore him and walk towards the lady, she looks so fearless and confident, nonchalant too."You home wrecker. Do you enjoy wrecking people's home?" I yell at her, pausing to run a hand through my hair in frustration. I feel my whole world slowly collapsing, my entire heart breaks knowing that all the memories I shared with Lucas in the past means nothing to him. "I do not understand what you are talking about Ma'am but this is clearly a misunderstanding " the lady says in a defensive tone. I roll my eyes at her and fight back the urge to pull her by the ear and spit in her face."You must think I am stupid, did I not see you sitting on husband's laps and making cute faces at him?" I snap at her. Lucas on the other hand paces the room and tells me in a low yet cold tone. "Leave the office now that I am asking nicely Sophia."I ignore him and avert my attention back to the lady, regardless of the fact that I know the consequences of my actions will come back to bite me in the ass."For the last time Ma'am, this is clearly some sort of misunderstanding. I am only Mr Lucas' secretary." She says eyeing me with what looks like disgust. "A secretary that sits on his laps? Wow, what a new discovery." I choke out a bitter laughter. Surprisingly this lady does not hold back. She pours out what she has been holding back all these while, revealing her true colors. "I do not appreciate the manner you use to address me. I have told you I am nothing more than a mere secretary. If you and your husband have issues then fix it! Do not involve me in your paranoid marriage!" I gasp at her sudden outburst. Without wasting anymore time, I raise my hand to slap her in the face but surprisingly, Lucas grabs me by the wrist causing my hands to hang in the air. "WE ARE GOING HOME THIS MOMENT!" Lucas pulls me by the wrist, dragging me out of his office like I am some sort of intruder. The people around his office whisper harsh words about me to themselves which is all Lucas' fault because he has just stylishly taken his secretary's side by dragging me out of the office, making me appear as a paranoid wife.Lucas and I arrive home and I begin to regret my actions when he throws me on the floor. Lucas yells at me and accuses me of embarrassing him. He promises to make me suffer for the consequences which he later ends up fulfilling his promise. Lucas locks me in our store room for two days and feeds me only bread and water.This is not the first time such is happening and unfortunately it will not be the last. He eventually releases me in the morning and that same day, he arrives home from work as late as 11pm, drunk and wasted.He messed up the entire living room and I am left to tend to it with tears in my eyes. I help him lay in bed and just as i slowly begin to doubt myself, maybe I misunderstood things between him and his secretary, a text pops on the screen of Lucas' phone."Thanks for making it up to me tonight. I had fun with you baby and I hope you divorce your wife soon, she's a paranoid loser."At that moment, I suddenly realize that my marriage with Lucas is absolutely nothing but a mere prison, one that I don't think I can ever escape.

TRAPPED IN DESIRE Preparations of Promise
Sophia’s POVThe morning sun spills through the lace curtains of a private suite in Julian’s sprawling London estate, its soft glow dancing across a mahogany vanity where I sit, preparing for a discreet doctor’s visit to check on our daughter, Lily. My hair is pinned loosely, my cotton dress light against my skin, the gentle swell of my pregnancy a quiet reminder of the life we’re nurturing.

Nadya’s POVThe flickering light of a single lamp casts jagged shadows across the cracked walls of a safehouse in a city I won’t name, its peeling paint and musty air a stark contrast to the opulent offices I once commanded at Anderson Enterprises.

Sophia’s POVThe dawn’s golden warmth lingers in the secluded bedroom of Julian’s London estate, but as our breaths steady, our bodies still entwined from the intensity of our shared passion, I feel a quiet pull to create something new, a melody to echo our love. I slip from the silk sheets, my skin still flushed, and pull on a soft linen dress, its fabric cool against my thighs. Julian watches, his blue eyes glinting with a tender glow, his bare chest rising slowly, and I smile, taking his hand. “Come with me,” I whisper, my voice light, leading him through the estate’s hidden corridors to a music room I discovered yesterday, its polished wood and velvet curtains a haven for our hearts. This secret refuge, its high walls and veiled paths, keeps us beyond the reach of Daniel’s cunning, Emily’s schemes, Nadya’s silence, and my parents’ greed.
