All Chapters of Caged Pheonix : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

She asked after controlling herself for so long. He scoffed and answered as if he had been waiting for this question. “That’s what I feel every time when I can’t do anything with you. I have to stay still, in control, because you don’t let me touch you. I’m just letting you taste your own medicine. But....... I’m also preparing you for what’s about to come.” Ethan cupped her jaw, forcing her to look only at him. “So get ready,” he murmured. “Because the moment I let you move….... I won’t let you stop.” Her heart slammed against her ribs, anticipation so fierce she could hardly breathe. Her entire world had narrowed to the next command from his lips. Ethan leaned in, nose brushing hers, voice soft but laced with complete control: “Now….. beg me for that permission.” The tension inside her wound too tight, every breath, every heartbeat, every inch of her skin alive with what he held back from her. Ethan waited. Not impatient..… Not indulgent....… Just confident that she wou

The next morning, Violet woke up because of the heavy weight resting on her chest. She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Ethan sleeping peacefully while hugging her body tightly, his head comfortably settled on her chest as if it belonged there.She smiled at his sleeping baby face, but the moment the memories of last night’s heated session flashed in her mind, her cheeks burned in embarrassment. She couldn’t believe she had said those things, yet she also couldn’t deny how deeply she had enjoyed every moment of it.She carefully lifted his face off her chest and slowly lowered it onto the pillow, making sure not to disturb his peaceful sleep. He had gotten so drunk last night, and so unbelievably jealous. She knew he wouldn’t have brought up Jacob and her past relationship if he had been completely sober.Grabbing her clothes from the floor, she tried to stand and walk toward the bathroom properly, moving slowly so she wouldn’t wake him up.When she came out after taki

Violet almost dropped to her knees when she heard the doctor say that her dad was out of danger. A breath she didn’t even realise she was holding leaves her chest and she silently thanked every god she knew, for protecting him. Tears blurred her vision as she threw her arms around Amelia, who was also shedding quiet tears of relief and happiness. The doctor let them have a moment before continuing.“But he still needs to be in proper care for a month or two.”Amelia nodded gratefully, thanking the doctor and seeing him off. Ethan gave her a small nod with his sealed lips too as if congratulating her for the good news. Amelia’s gaze shifted between Ethan and Violet. She sensed the tension lingering heavily in the air and stepped aside, hoping to give them a chance to sort things out.“Violet, you must be tired. You can go with Ethan and rest a little.”Ethan agreed softly with Amelia’s suggestion and turned to Violet as waiting for her answer.But Violet frowned the moment she heard h

The ground seemed to tilt beneath Violet's feet the moment she heard those words as if the very earth was warning her of the evil standing before her. Violet’s breath hitched and she gave the slightest shake of her head, an instinctive, helpless gesture she hadn’t even meant to make. That was all it took for the old man’s lips to curl into a satisfied, venomous smirk. “The moment you get divorced from Ethan,” he drawled slowly, savoring each word, “the deal your adoptive father made with James William collapses. No protection. No support. No one left to shield you or your precious parents.” His smile widened, sharp and triumphant. “Then I will marry Amelia and I will finally become the main shareholder of the company.” He paused, clapping for himself as if he were performing on a stage rather than ripping their world apart. “I’m a genius, am I not?” he asked proudly, turning toward his men. They laughed obediently, nodding like puppets who feared the hand controlling them. Violet

Violet’s breath hitched.Not because of the harshness of his tone, she expected that by now.But because of the finality in it.It felt like a door slamming shut right in her face. Her lips trembled as she opened them to speak but he stepped back, running a hand through his hair in frustration. His chest rose and fell sharply, he was hurting, drowning in his own assumptions and yet he wasn’t willing to see the truth even when it was right in front of him.“Ethan.....” her voice cracked helplessly, fragile as thin glass, she again tried to whisper “I’m not lying to you. Not about this. I’m doing it-----”He cut her off with a sharp laugh.“Doing it for a reason? Is that your new excuse?” he asked, shaking his head coldly. “Violet, you walked out of the hotel with another man. You hid your father's surgery from me. You shut me out. And now you're talking about divorce as if my feelings were nothing more than collateral damage. And now you are saying you are doing it for a reason?” he c
