Prologue

"The bird of paradise alights only upon the hand that does not grasp." ~ John Berry.

Robyn, Jay, and Raven all have something in common; Ash. Ash is the man who watched them for months before taking them down into his home underground. He has worked hard to build this perfect world for the women he loves, and he will go to extreme lengths to keep it that way. When Robyn's husband begins searching desperately for her, Ash doesn't like it and he wants it to stop. He'll even make an example in front of the girls, something he really doesn't want to do. Something that will either result in release for the girls, or something that will never allow their release...
