The Cage Summary

My fiancé, Owen Lockhart, came from old money. He kept a canary in a gilded cage, spoiling her rotten. Just as I was about to break off the engagement with him, a barrage of comments suddenly popped up in my mind. [What did Owen do wrong? He just wanted to get your attention.] [Don't break up with him. All you need to do is shed a few tears, and he'll give you everything.] I turned my head, and through the window, I saw the canary in her high-end jewelry, smiling brightly as she hooked her arm around Owen's. He lazily lowered his eyes, yet his expression held a hint of indifference mixed with a subtle affection. I smiled bitterly, replying to the lawyer's message: [Go on with drafting the engagement annulment agreement.]

“Seeing you with another guy makes me mad.” “Then close your eyes.” ******. It took me days, weeks, months, and years to escape him. And now when I was away from his clutches, I was confined in the cage of the most feared men in area. I was deceived, lied to, played with, and kept in the shadows all my life.

I lost everything, from the warmth of my parents to the love of my sister, from the happiness of my childhood to the pain given by my captor. And when I lost my hope of ever getting away from him, I landed in their hands. They took me in, gave me protection, and provided me with their care, but in the end, it was all lie. Just like in my past, they also deceived me, lied to me and caged me in name of protecting me. *****
