Heart In The Cage
Chapter 1
Have you ever felt this feeling;
As if you hide your opinions and feelings, because
You're afraid of theirs?
N the feeling of being used, broken, abandoned, left out, betrayed, cheated and top of all, feeling empty
It is said that the world is full of colorful happiness
But would u believe me if I told u, this world is full of broken people just trying to be alive in each present moment?
Life's unstable and people change
The upmost we can do to be happy even in the darkest time is to unleash the past n believe that everything in this life is temporary
Author
Before i start the first chapter of my book, i'd like to say that...
Author
I based this book on the downside of life,
N to reveal the ugly truths in society
Author
N I made the female lead of this book; the main character
If u somehow wonder where's the male lead,
There may be male lead up coming soon or maybe not at all
Author
I prefer this plot to be mysterious
So, I hope u will enjoy my book
