The Cage of Silence

Summary

To stop me from "clinging" to him, Silas Sterling locked me in a mental asylum.

Every time I spoke his name, I was shocked with electricity.

Every time I showed a hint of jealousy toward his "Eternal Muse," I was forced to kneel for a day on a path of jagged glass.

Three years later, the "rehabilitation" was complete. I became the perfect, docile wife Silas wanted—quiet, compliant, and never asking for a thing.

When he brought his muse home, I thoughtfully bought them protection.
