It had been two years since she’d set foot outside the apartment, she was by no means agoraphobic in fact before the great transition she’d loved the great outdoors in fact she’d been training as a National Park Forest Ranger.
She’d been taking a school group out filled with mainly bored teenagers on a walk when one particular spoiled brat had pushed her too far with his disruptive and dangerous behavior.
She’d chewed him out in front of the entire class utterly humiliating him, he’d been so shocked by her outburst he’d remained silent for the rest of the walk.
The class had no idea how to react, everyone knew that a girl should never talk back to a man even if this particular ‘girl’ was in her mid 20’s and was supposedly the authority figure for the group.
(the truth was whilst culture was changing laws had failed to keep up with a changing womans role in society and conflicts like this became common as they had not been corrected)
Anna, happy with her small victory continued her talk, eventually leading the group back to the awaiting coaches. It looked like Anna was going to get away with this provocation unscaved.
Unfortunately for Anna the boy she’d put in his place was a vindictive brat who happened to have family in influential places.
Anna was called into the Head Rangers Office, an older Gentlemen who’d always been friendly to her and had been trying to promote her quickly. If she thought he was going to be her ally she was brutally mistaken when she was infomred her services would no longer be required and was under arrest for crimes against man.
She was rapidly informed she’d be under house arrest, she couldn’t set foot out of the door without setting off the GPS monitoring device,she was banned from work but that she’d also be required to do community service.
Escorted to the Police car the dumbfounded Anna suddenly had a lot of questions, like how was she supposed to support herself if she couldnt work? Or how was she supposed to do community service if she wasn’t allowed to leave her home?
The Police informed her that all of her needs would be provided for her and that no one had ever said she’d be under house Arrest at her home.

She’d lived in that Brats appartment for two years, forced to live by his rules, dress the way he demanded, always be in perfect make up, eat the food he provided and provide certain other services.
She’d protested at first but had given in when he’d threaten her little sister with a far, far worse fate than her own. Anna had no choice but to co-operate.
For his part he believed he was generous, she only eat the finest foods, was given the most expensive clothes and jewlry. All she had to do was act like the perfect trophy wife, she wasn’t even expected to clean, her life was one of luxury.
But a cage is a cage even if its a guilded one and this former Park Ranger wanted nothing more than to be walking those trails instead of being some Stepford wife.
It was a shame she didn’t have a choice.
