The Gilded Cage

SOME CAGES ARE MADE OF GOLD. HIS IS MADE OF OBSESSION.

I was one paycheck away from homelessness. Invisible. Desperate. Then Julian Thorne walked into the lobby.

He didn't just buy the logistics company I worked for. He bought me.

He saw the holes in my shoes. He saw the panic in my eyes. And he saw a problem he wanted to fix. He offered me a solution: A contract. He would wipe my student debt. He would give me a life of luxury. All I had to do was surrender. Body and soul.

I thought he was my savior. I thought I was falling for the man behind the ruthless CEO facade. But I didn't know about the file in his desk. I didn't know that our "accidental" meeting wasn't fate-it was a hunt.

He didn't just stumble upon me. He stalked me. He analyzed me. He acquired me.

Now, I'm in too deep. And by the time I find the key to this gilded cage, it might be too late to run.
