To my dear readers,
To those who struggled with The Gilded Cage because of the FL and ML, I want you to know that I understand not only how you felt, but also what you were hoping to find in this story. Your expectations and your perspectives as readers truly matter to me as a writer.
This story was never about perfect strength, it was about broken beginnings. The characters start from a place of fear, restraint, and emotional fragility, because growth that truly matters is often slow, uncomfortable, and difficult to witness.
Their weakness is not a flaw in the story, but the foundation of their journey.
That said, every reader deserves a story that resonates with them. If you prefer narratives with strong, decisive FLs and MLs from the very beginning, I warmly invite you to explore my other works, where the leads are bold, resilient, and unapologetically powerful.
Thank you for giving The Gilded Cage your time whether you chose to walk this journey with me or decided on another path. Your presence, thoughts, and support as a reader are valued all the same.
