Dear Reader,

This is not a tale of traditional love or the happiness we often seek at the end of every story. No, here you will uncover dark secrets, invisible wounds, and souls trapped in cages forged by family, fate, and sometimes, by ourselves.

"Cautiva" is not merely a story to be told—it is a mirror reflecting the hidden side of human relationships. You will meet characters who appear ordinary at first glance but carry within them shards of pain, fear, and an unrelenting quest for redemption.

At times, you may feel anger. At others, sadness. You might even find pieces of yourself woven into the lines. But I must warn you: this narrative may leave you pondering long after you've turned the last page.

If you are ready to embark on this journey, I invite you to step inside. Place your heart and mind within these pages... and discover that freedom is not always what it seems.

Welcome to the world of "Cautiva."

"I don't care about a mere fever... so please, take your hand away from me."

"Who said touching me comes without a cost? If you're unwilling to pay the price with this body of yours, I suggest you stay away."

"Come closer… Don't worry, I won't touch you… unless you ask me to."

"Do you know what's worse than falling in love? Falling for me."

"You know, you might be the most beautiful lie I've ever believed… but I lie too, because I never intended to leave."

"All you have to do is take one step… just one, and I'll drown in you like you're my favorite sin."

"Do you feel that? It's my heartbeat… Don't worry, soon enough, it will beat with your name. From now on, it belongs to you."

"May I...?

No, you don't ask permission for what already belongs to you."
