Back in a cage

The silence between husband and wife was almost unbearable to both by the time they pulled up to the gates of the Moshi Mansion. 

The mansion was kept beautifully, as always. Manicured gardens, pretty blossoms and baroque structures everywhere. 

Her heart was sinking as they drove back into their beautiful home, as if it recognised a cage. She was a headstrong, bold woman. Waiting backstage, cowering away...it was not her forté. 

As if knowing her thoughts, Shen reached out to stroke her hair. 

"Angel, it's not forever. Please give me some time, to keep you safe. I can't lose you again." he said to her quietly, begging her to understand his intentions. 

He had given her too much time and space before, and was unable to stop her from getting hurt. 

If only he had known where she was going and what she was going to do, he could have prevented the attacks on her life.
