Power. Purpose. Pain. What do you choose when the world fears who you are? When gods whisper and demons scheme, it is mortals who bleed. She is the prophecy: a child forged from the blood of a goddess and the Demon King, destined to shatter an ancient curse and unleash the horrors sealed away for centuries. Raised in secrecy by a father more monster than man, Naya is taught to feed on souls and wield destruction without mercy. But guilt is a seed too strong to kill. When her powers erupt and innocent lives are lost, Naya is cast out, alone and hunted. Her only ally is Zikora, a stubborn, sharp-tongued healer who sees past Naya's darkness... maybe even understands it. Together they set out to challenge destiny, power, and the blurry line between good and evil. But some truths burn too deeply. And some friendships are doomed from the start. As old gods stir, demons claw their way back into the mortal realm, and empires rise against one another, Naya must choose: fulfill the dark legacy she was born to, or burn her own path into legend. But some stories don't end in redemption. Fate is cruel, and love, crueler still.

Elena Whitmore lives a quiet, careful life. After years of heartbreak and healing, she's convinced herself she's better off alone-until Daniel Clarke enters her world like a dream, she didn't know she was still hoping for. He's everything she never dared to ask for: attentive, successful, endlessly thoughtful. He remembers the little things, says all the right words, and wraps her in the kind of love that feels both intoxicating and safe. But perfection comes with a price. What began as a whirlwind romance soon became a slow erosion of Elena's world. Isolation disguised as protection, jealousy masked as passion, control hidden beneath devotion and through it all, Daniel remains loving-so loving it's hard to breathe. As Elena struggles to untangle affection from manipulation, comfort from control, she must confront a painful question: Is it still love when it begins to hurt? The Softest Cage is a story of psychological abuse wrapped in tenderness, of losing oneself in the name of love-and the quiet, powerful reckoning it takes to break free.

"Curiosity killed the kitty Miss Adams." My body stiffened. Slowly I turned around just to see Mr. Parker standing in front of me with hands in his trouser pockets. I bit my lip. I thought he would be angry but when I looked at him. His face showed no emotion. He then started walking towards me I moved back. This continued until my back hit the door. Then he placed his one hand on my side, leaning forward, close to me. "What was rule number three Miss Adams." His face was extremely close to mine my breath got hitched. I couldn't answer his question why? Because I was more focused in the distance between us. "I asked you something Miss Adams." He said again. "T-That t-there a-are prohibited areas i-in the house where I shouldn't g-go." "It seems like you remember the rules. This room is one of those prohibited areas. So, from next time think before you put yourself into trouble." I just stared at his eyes. I was lost in those pair of sea-coloured eyes. No other guy has ever affected me this much as Mr. Parker.
