His Caged Bird Doesn't Beg

Everyone in our circle knows I'm Adrian's caged bird, and the "bad woman" his son Miles hates most. For Miles, I gave up my fellowship in Zurich and spent seven years playing housewife. What did I get in return? Adrian took Sophie to gallery openings on our anniversary. Miles smashed cake in my face in front of everyone, calling me a frumpy housewife. Adrian was certain I couldn't leave him. Certain I couldn't leave our son. He threw the divorce papers on the table with a cold smile. "Sign this, and you lose everything. Including Miles." He expected me to beg on my knees. I didn't. I picked up the pen and signed without hesitation. "Fine, Adrian. You keep Miles. And I get to keep myself." For just a moment, I saw shock flash in his eyes. I heard later that Adrian searched for me like a madman, and the son he doted on cried and screamed for his mommy. Too bad. I'd already burned it all down myself.
