Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage Chapter 93: "I Want You”
SARAH'S POV"Stop lying to yourself."I expressed it quietly to the bathroom mirror at three in the morning. My reflection looked back at me and did not argue.I sat down on the floor with my back against the wall, opened the notebook on my knees, and turned to the first page.Day two: I read it like reading a report. Clinical, removed, and progress notes. Michael's behavior in the first game. Things to observe and things to tell Claudia. Cold and functional and completely professional.Day three: The same.Day four: I slowed down.The handwriting changed halfway down the page. Slightly looser. The sentences stopped sounding like a report. I had written about the bridge game and the way he positioned himself two panels back to give me space, and I had written it not as a tactical observation but as something else. Something I had not been managing when I wrote it.I kept reading.Day five. Day six. By day six, I was not writing about the assignment at all. I was writing about the ques
Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage Chapter 92: "The Space Between"
MICHAEL'S POV"You should eat."Sarah looked at her plate and picked up her fork without arguing. We were at the dining table, and the food had been sitting in front of her, untouched, for several minutes. She ate slowly, and I watched her across the table and said nothing.She had been different since the hatch. Not closed off but quieter in the particular way of a woman who has arrived at something and is living inside it before she says it out loud. All afternoon, I had been trying to read the difference, and I had not been able to name it.We walked back to the room after dinner.She sat on her bed and pulled out the notebook. I took the chair. She opened it and began writing, and I looked at the wall and tried to think about something other than what had happened earlier. The chemical at our waist. The dead end solid under my palm. My hands on her face in the dark before I had decided anything. My forehead against hers.I had been afraid of her dying.She shifted on the bed, tuc
Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage Chapter 91: "Think! What Do We Do?!"
SARAH'S POV"Do you smell that?"Michael stopped walking beside me. We were in the fourth-floor corridor, and he turned his head slightly. "Yes," he answered."What is it?""Nothing good."Then the lights went out.And this time, not as a flicker or a warning. Just complete darkness in one instant, and the building went silent in a way that was different from its usual silence. No hum, no ventilation. Nothing."Michael.""Stay close."Something began creeping along the floor. I felt it before I understood what it was. A pressure against my ankles, cold and heavy, not water. Thicker than water. It moved slowly, and it pushed the air upward, and the air above it felt thinner with every breath I took."Displacement agent," Michael said. His voice was controlled but clipped. "Fills from the floor. Pushes oxygen out.""How long do we have?""Eight minutes. Maybe less."No announcement, no rules, no map."Move," Michael said. His hand found my arm in the dark, and he pulled me left.I foll
Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage Chapter 90: “The Game That Reveals”
MICHAEL'S POV"Do you want to play the question game tonight?"I looked up from the water glass I had been turning in my hands. Sarah was sitting across the table with her elbows on the surface and her chin resting on her folded hands, and she was looking at me with an expression that was neither performing casualness nor hiding the fact that the question had cost something to ask."If you want," I said."I am asking if you want to.""Then yes," I said. "I want to."She nodded, sat back, picked up her cup, and held it with both hands. "You go first," she said."You initiated it," I said. "You go first."She looked at her cup for a moment. Then she looked at me."What are you most afraid of inside this building?" she said. "Not dying. Not losing. Not failing the games. What specifically. The real answer."The real answer.I looked at the table. I looked at my water glass. I thought about giving her the version of the answer that was true enough to satisfy the rules of the game without
Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage Chapter 89: “Controller Tightens The Screw”
SARAH'S POV"Up, now. Both of you."The guard's voice came through the door speaker at five in the morning, and I was sitting up before I was fully awake, the specific reflex the Trial House had built into me over weeks of games that started without warning and punished slowness.Michael was already on his feet.He looked at me across the dim room. "Early.""Yes," I said."That is not standard.""No," I said. "It’s not."We dressed without speaking and reported to the game gate with the other pairs, all of us half-awake and reading the room for what was coming. The hall had the particular tension of people who had learned that early games were usually worse than scheduled ones. Claudia liked the element of biological disadvantage. A body that had been asleep twenty minutes ago did not perform the same as a body that had been given time to prepare.The screen above the gate lit up.Carousel. Read Carefully.The rules appeared in white text. Circular track. Pairs run together. Every six
Trapped In My Husband’s Golden Cage Chapter 88: “The Pressure Point”
SARAH'S POV"Again," Michael said. "On my count this time.""Your count was wrong the last time.""My count was right. Your timing was off.""My timing was off because you counted too fast."He looked at me across the room. The water was at our ankles and rising, and we had approximately four minutes before it reached the panels on the walls and made the entire game irrelevant. The panels were shoulder height, one on each wall, and they had to be pressed simultaneously within a half-second window, or the electric current running through both of them found the water and found us.We had learned that the hard way twice.The first shock had been manageable. A full body jolt that threw both of us back and left my teeth aching. The second one had been worse because the water was higher, and when it hit me, I went down. My knees hit the floor, and my hands hit the water, and for approximately three seconds, I was not entirely sure where I was."Three," Michael said. "Two…one."I pressed.Th

GARRETT’S POV"Frieda! Hold on to something!"The headlights behind us blazed brighter, too damn close. My hands gripped the steering wheel so hard my knuckles turned white. The engine roared as I pushed the accelerator to the floor, but whoever was chasing us wasn't backing off."Garrett, who is th

GARRETT’S POV Even though I felt crazy terrified inside, I couldn’t slip up because he was already suspicious. So I remained composed and maintained eye contact as he taunted me with his venomous gaze.“Well then. Do your job, and I’ll get to mine,” he said coldly, slamming the door in my face.The

GARRETT’S POV Her eyes screamed for help. Too innocent for a world like this. I wanted to stay. Pull her aside, hold her hands, and whisper the truth. Tell her everything would be fine.But that was a lie.Sometimes the truth doesn’t set you free. It chains you, tighter and tighter, until freedom

FRIEDA’S POV I looked at the piece of paper in my hand. It may lie the answers to my freedom. FREEDOM. I’ve dreamt of it, but that’s all it’s ever been. Nothing but a mere dream. Or it could also sink me deeper into the bottom of the ocean. I should run away. Garrett warned me. If I wait too lon
