What kind of hellish feeling is that. How could I blush over his cruelty? How stupid I am...! He leaned on my back, pushing a strain of my hair behind my ear while mumbling in a slow and hypocritical tone. "You are just my doll, my plaything...! Remember that...!" it was a warning and I know it very well. Is this my fate? Can I not get away from him anymore? Why do I feel I am trapped in a golden cage? Until when will he torture me, punish me for a sin I have never committed?

A prince, heir to the throne, brought to his knees not by war or political intrigue, but by his own body. A cruel jest played by fate, a twisted metaphor for the gilded cage he inhabited. He was a prisoner of his own body, a gilded cage now rattling with the force of his internal storm.

Jay refused to believe that everything I did for him over the past six years had all come from a signed piece of paper. He immediately yanked out his phone, dialed his assistant and barked, "Find Rachel! I want to know where she is now." I had long stopped caring about Jay. Usmana's weather was always gray, just like the early years of my marriage. However, the sky above felt lighter. The air, finally, was mine. Most days, I stayed holed up in the studio. Ben was a workaholic, and I was just as driven. A few days ago, we landed a skincare development project. It was a big one.

He glared at me, jealousy pouring out as he said, "Jayden, why does everyone like you? Why are you the rich guy's son? "You could marry Rowena just because you were born rich? That's not fair!" I replied icily, "Fair? You didn't seem to care about fairness when you were treating me like dirt, acting like I was just a driver. "You're not upset about fairness. You're just mad it's not you sitting on the throne! "Greed's your game, and now you're paying the price." Just then, the cops Henry had called showed up. "Who reported a child abduction earlier?"

Your insights can guide me as I craft the next chapters, making them even more compelling and relatable. In writing “Caged by Him,” I aimed to explore themes of love, struggle, and resilience. Each character is a reflection of real-life complexities, and I hope their journeys inspire you as much as they inspired me while writing.

Not by choice, at least. Back in the room, I picked up one of the novels from the small stack on the bedside table. My movements were mechanical, my mind barely registering the title. I climbed onto the bed, crossing my legs beneath me as I opened the book, forcing myself to focus on the words. Since Tyler left, this room had become my gilded cage. Everything I needed was provided, just like he said it would be. Luxurious meals, fresh clothes, even the novels I requested—everything was delivered promptly, like clockwork. And yet, I’d never felt so trapped.

Probably in this very building. The gilded cage suddenly felt a lot more like a death trap. And I was locked inside with the target.

—a luxury penthouse at the top of the tower that was actually a high-tech "Archive Facility." They emerged in a room of pure, blinding white glass and gold filigree. It was beautiful, a sanctuary of "Perfect Design," but the windows were made of "Genre-Glass"—a substance that showed them a vision of a "Perfect North" while keeping them trapped in the "Real World" city. "Welcome to the 'Gilded Cage', Silas Blackwood," the Engineer’s voice echoed from the walls. "Since you refuse to be our 'Face', you will be our 'Source'. The 'Extraction' will now proceed in 'Private Mode'."

The obsidian token was not visible, but his aura of cold menace was its own passport. I kept my head down, my heart hammering against my ribs. The Goddess's light within me was a caged sun, straining against my control. Every leering glance, every shouted proposition from the shadows, was a fresh assault. We turned down a narrower alley, the noise from the main thoroughfates fading slightly. A sign hung over a door ahead, depicting a beautiful songbird trapped in an ornate cage. The Gilded Cage. Two large guards flanked the door. They looked at the Architect, then at me. One gave a slow, knowing smile.
