Feign Compliance

Rae Bennett gave herself a birthday gift at her coming-of-age ceremony—a golden cage. Then she put the boy she loved into the cage. Friends said: We, girls, need to be gentle. So she painted the cage a powdery pink and studded it with glittering diamonds. He asked, "Why?" "Because I love you." She will do whatever it takes to make him hers, even if it means breaking him. What kind of person is Rae Bennett? Everyone would reply: She's a sunny girl who loves to laugh and brings warmth to the world. Wyatt Wright said: She's the moon on Halloween, capable of taking lives. Alternate title of the book: How the Scheming Little Witch Pretends to be Good (PS: The male protagonist is not weak. This is a sweet and healing story)

033: The Girl in the Cage (Update 2_1)

Mollie Jones remembered her first meeting with Rae Bennett; it was three years ago when her daughter was sick and in urgent need of money. She was looking for part-time jobs everywhere. Later on, Mr. Bailey approached her, offering her a job, but she had to sign a contract before starting.

She asked Mr. Bailey what the job was, and he said it was just cleaning, with occasional cooking.

Mollie thought it was a regular nanny job, but two things in the contract were odd. One was the salary, which was paid daily and unreasonably high. The other was a clause stating that she must not speak a word about the employer's affairs. Desperate for money, she didn't ponder much and signed the contract.

The employer's house where she was to work was located in a suburban villa, with a large garden filled with fruit trees, hibiscuses, and sunflowers covering the ground, and ivy creeping up the walls.
