Gilded Chains: His Caged Songbird

After five years of playing the sweet little songbird to a billionaire, I popped positive on a pregnancy test.

My mind flashed back to that wild, humid night—Xie Yun pinning me down, his ragged breath hot against my ear as he growled, “Have my baby.”

I’d actually believed him. My heart had fluttered, completely sold on the idea of keeping it.

That was until the weirdest floating text started drifting across my field of vision like a live stream chat:

Look at this dumb side-chick thinking a positive test earns her the ring. Typical big-boobs-no-brains.

Lmao, the main girl just made her grand entrance. How much more is this gold-digger gonna leech before she realizes her life is literally on the line?

Honestly, I feel bad for her eight-month baby. The male lead hires a truck to flatten them both. Jesus, eight months… brutal as hell!

Me: Wait… WHAT?!

Look, I love money, but I love staying alive a whole lot more.

Without missing a beat, I swept every single valuable into my bags, ready to flee into the night. As for the kid? Yeah, sorry, buddy. I booked an emergency abortion for midnight.

Still, I couldn’t leave my human ATM without one final cash grab. I whipped out my phone and fired off a utterly unhinged text: Wire me a million right now, or I swear to God I’ll stalk you for the rest of your natural life!
