Cassie
My whole life, I’ve been caged—controlled, shaped to fit the mold of my father’s ambitions, a pawn in his endless business games. For eighteen years, I’ve been trapped in a life that wasn’t my own, suffocated under the weight of expectations. I’ve felt the walls closing in, my every move dictated by someone else’s will. Then one day, beneath the cedar trees, Jax Regent enters my world. He’s everything I never knew I needed—my hero, my protector. His presence feels like a lifeline in my sheltered existence. But as I start to let my guard down and cling to his strength, a question lingers: Is he here to free me, or is he just another force trying to control me, like my father always has? In my helplessness, I need him more than ever, but I can’t shake the thought that even this might come at a cost.
