Aria was sprawled flat on her back across the center of the massive bed, still completely naked.
She was munching casually from a tin of roasted cashews resting on her stomach. In her hands, her phone was currently showing a deep-dive, investigative article from a pop-culture conspiracy blog.
The headline read: Inside the Golden Cage: Damien Sinclair's Dark Hold on Aria Vale.
Aria popped a cashew into her mouth, chewing happily as she scrolled through the piece.
According to the "anonymous sources" quoted in the article, she wasn't just a trophy wife; she was a terrified hostage trapped in a loveless, controlling nightmare, completely isolated from the outside world by a terrifying billionaire who monitored her every move.
The internet was so beautifully wrong.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated, an incoming call screen hijacking the article.
My darling hubby
