Blinded By Love Chapter 16 - Love, how's work?
Love's POVOne month later..."Close your eyes," Mira says, startling me as she opens our apartment door while I am sitting on the couch studying Brail."What!" I ask my hand over my chest. "What is happening?""Just close your eyes." She insists so I put the book aside and cover my eyes with my palms. "Now keep them close until I tell you." I can hear him moving, closing the door. Footsteps creak over our old floors. Ever since I started helping Sebastian I feel like I have heightened my senses as well. To even out the field as much as I could sometimes I would close my eyes to be blind with him."Ok..." Mira says as she sits down on the couch and an unusual smell hits my nose. "Open them." She says and I open my eyes to the most adorable puppy I have ever seen, all scared, wet, looking up at me with big brown eyes. His fur is matted and damp from the rain, and his fur is a mix of golden brown."Mira, what did you do? You know our landlord forbids us to have pets. Just because we paid

Christian's POVI sat in my office yet I wasn't going through documents, rewieveing contracts, supervising the new collection... What would even be the point of reading all that when I can't focus on a single word... my mind is occupied with her... Love.How the hell did she do this to me?I’ve built this empire that my father left us on precision, on structure, on keeping everything in its place. I made it into something even bigger than he ever imagined it could be. Dad might have started the idea with the money from our other companies but I polished it to have the shine it has today. But with her, it feels like all my carefully constructed walls are crumbling...like I’m standing on the edge of something I can’t predict, can’t control, and it terrifies me.And yet… I don't want to fight it.I clenched my jaw and stood up abruptly, pushing the chair back with a groan of frustration. I walked over to the window, eyes scanning the skyline, though I didn’t really see it. My life now had

…I shot him a look, irritated. "I’m not stumped," I said. "I’m... overwhelmed. She’s unlike anyone I’ve ever met." Aiden raised an eyebrow, clearly interested. "Okay, okay. I’m intrigued. Go on. Where did you meet her?" Perhaps I saw her in a dream and pulled her out into this world just for me... but no I had a street robber to thank for that. "I helped her when she got mugged... after that, I offered her a job. She is somewhat of a guide for Sebastian. Working with him, in my own house. Everyday." My own personal torture device. "Wait, she works with Sebastian? Like he actually agreed to have her stay. She must be something special to get through to him." Clearly, he is already impressed, after all, he knows Sebastian. We three were inseparable even tho Seb was older than us, he was always there to get us out of trouble... out of danger. Until I pushed the bar too far and he paid the price. "Well the circumstances were different with her, she helps him in her own special way sinc

Love's POV"Now you stay here, ok Charlie?" I said as I pointed to a pillow on the floor while Charlie looked at me with his confused puppy eyes. "I left you with enough water and food so please no barking... otherwise we will all be homeless in no time.""I dont think he can understand you Love," Mira says as she picks up her bag and walks over to the couch to put on her shoes."You were the one who brought him here Mira, maybe you should explain the rules to him," I say joking and Mira smiles as Charlie runs to her feet."Now do you see how much love he has brought to this place, it feels so much warmer with him here." She says as she plays with him. "It's not for nothing people often go for support animals, they read us better than humans. Dont you, Charlie? Dont you?" I watch as Mira crouches down, Charlie wagging his tail furiously as she scratches behind his ears. His eyes gleam up at her, full of adoration, his small body practically vibrating with happiness.Support animals? No

Mira’s words echo in my head...“You’re already in love with him, Love.” I try to push them away, but they cling to me, impossible to ignore. If there was ever a good time to stop being a dreamer it's now, because Christian is a dream I can allow myself to fall under. Maybe I could be one of those lovers who love from afar, from the safe distance where they hear it the strongest. "Miss Bennett, " the driver called out to me as he held the car door wide open while I was lost in my thoughts. To him, I was a blind person, so he must not have thought much about my slow reaction. "Yes, sorry. I got a bit stuck inside my head." I say as I bend my cane and get into the car, the hum of the engine the only sound accompanying my thoughts. I go back to the idea of a service dog for Sebastian. He needs friends who better than someone who would always be there, always loyal, always present. A wagging tail, and that comforting, grounding presence. It might be exactly what he needs. Someone who can

“What are you doing here?” I ask as I take off my sunglasses, my voice a bit harsher than I intended. I can't possibly understand what kind of police emergency would have her in a support dog training facility. Do they train police dogs here also? Tamara raises an eyebrow at my sharp tone, but she doesn't flinch. Instead, she crosses her arms and looks me over, her police uniform tightening against her shoulders while trying to gauge what’s going on behind my sudden outburst. “I could ask you the same thing,” she replies, a teasing glint in her eyes that doesn’t quite reach the concern buried underneath. “But, since you’re so curious, my TO is teaching me a lesson on..." Her eyes slid down to the cane in my hands. The confusion on her face is evident. She tilts her head slightly, studying me, and then her gaze shifts back up to meet mine, more focused now. "Why are you walking around with a cane for blind people?" She asks and I glance back to make sure that the driver is far enough

"I think we made the right choice," Christian says as we exit the facility with a Golden Retriever on a lease. Marley was the first dog that ran up to my legs the second we entered the room. I can't believe I even lied to the dogs when all I wanted was to drop on the floor and start playing with them. And pretending to be blind in a place filled with people associated with real blind people made me nervous, afraid they would be able to see through me. Perhaps I was just still under the impression after Tamara found out about my lies. "Hey," Christian says, his voice gentle as he falls in step beside me."You okay?" I force a smile but I dont look at him, trying to push the panic away. "Yeahh." I bite my tongue at the informal tone I took. "Yes, Mr.Callahan. I just got a little lost in my thoughts... wondering how your brother will react to Marley... I'm excited." Lie. I lie to you again. Even if it's a small thing now, it adds to the pile that one day will outgrow me. "Sebastian will

Suddenly the air in the car feels thick, suffocating. I glance out the window, trying to find something to focus on, anything to distract me from the tension building between us. But there's nothing that can help me escape this. "Mr.Callahan..." "Christian. Call me Christian, please." He says. His request somehow makes everything feel more personal, more real. Christian. The name hangs in the air, a soft plea in the midst of all the chaos swirling in my mind. "I dont think I can do that," I say, the words leaving my mouth before I can stop them. They feel harsh in the quiet of the car, cutting through the air like a sudden gust of wind. Christian's expression doesn’t change, but I can feel the shift in the atmosphere. He doesn’t push me, but his eyes flicker briefly to me before returning to the road, his jaw tightening just slightly. "It's how I want you to see me. Not just as Mr. Callahan, not just as your boss. I don’t want that distance between us." But I do. It's the only thin

Blinded By Love Chapter 91 - To the Moon and back
"This is getting ridiculous, how much longer are they going to follow us?" Mira asked about the bodyguard that walked behind us in the mall. It was safe to say she didn't like to feel watched, and to be fair neither did I. I spend all of my time pretending while in the house, and now I have to continue doing it outside. "Christian doesn't want us walking around alone, he doesn't think it's safe. I dont know if he is right or not yet somehow I'd rather be safe than sorry. And so should you." But she pretends she is above it, about the worry, about everything that happened."Well if he wants to keep you under wraps, taking you to the high-profile party isn't the best course of action," Mira states as we walk into a high-end dress store."Actually he thinks that being in the eyes of the world would make me safer, and besides it's his birthday party, as his girlfriend I have to be there. And now so do you." Mira gave a resigned shrug and walked deeper into the store, clearly still harbori
Blinded By Love Chapter 90 - Not now. Not ever.
Love's POV"Where do you think he went?" I ask Mira as she pulls some things out of her suitcase while Charlie explores the new room. I still couldn't believe everything that happened. I was attacked, but what I find worse is the fact I wasn't the target, Mira was."I dont know, police maybe. Whatever he thinks will help." She says as she stuffs some things into a dresser drawer. "You don't think the police would help?" I ask her. "You think Vincenzo...""Vincenzo didn't do this." Mira cuts me off. "Trust me, Love. He wouldn't hurt me." I can trust she thinks that but is it really the case?"If you say so," I say as I look down at my hands, playing nervously with my fingers so she comes to sit down next to me."I'm sorry, Love. I really am, this... this should have happened to me, not you. I helped the wrong person it seems and what's worse I think they now want me because Vincenzo protected me." Her blue eyes looked distant as if she was seeing something beyond the room, beyond us.
Blinded By Love Chapter 89 - Change the rules
"Christian, don’t do anything reckless," Aiden said with caution. "We need to be smart." He could be smart all he wanted but right now I was furious and for the first time in a long time I would act in an instant, not planning ahead. Besides this wasn't a negotiation that needed a tactic, this was going to be a statement. "I’m done being smart, Aiden," I snapped, the words leaving my mouth before I could stop them. "He came after Love. He hurt her. And I’ll make sure he never lays a hand on anyone I care about again." The words felt like they were coming from somewhere primal, somewhere deep inside me, a place where reason had no say, only the instinct to protect."Did we find him?" I ask Aiden as he waits for a confirmation on his phone. He was able to track down Love, now my people are breaking many laws to find him... it's only fair, even if I never thought I would need to use my name in such games. "We have him... ironically or not, he seems to like the same places as you," Aid
Blinded By Love Chapter 88 - My fault
Christian's POVI paced around the living room while Mira took Love into her room so she could put on some clothes. I did my best to control my temper around her, but with every passing second, I wanted to go find Vincenzo and smash my fist into his face until it became flat. But I couldn't do that until I knew Love was alright and that she was safe... She can't stay here, so even if I have to carry her out she is coming to live with me so that I can watch over her safety. After all, I am the reason this happened to her. I stood up to him and she paid the price.The feeling of helplessness gnawed at my insides, making my fists clench involuntarily. I needed her to be safe. I could feel it deep in my chest, the relentless desire to protect her, to make sure nothing like this ever touched her again. She was mine, no other could touch her wherever it was with a feather or a finger, hell no one was allowed to look at her, they didn't deserve that privilege.I could hear the faint sound of
Blinded By Love Chapter 87 - I’m not going anywhere
"I'm calling the ambulance," Aiden says as Christian sets me down on the living room couch while I hold my robe tight."No, please dont. I'm fine." Was I? Absolutely no, between the fear and the now piercing pain in my head I was the furthest thing from fine. But an ambulance in this case would also mean the police and I can't risk it, not without knowing more about the man who broke in, and for that I needed Mira."You say that because you can't see yourself," Christian says as his hand gently examines my neck. "You are very hurt, the bruises on your neck, the blood on your head... they cut open your lip..." Christian listed my injuries, his voice getting more furious by the second.I shake my head, wincing slightly at the pain that shoots through my body. "I’m not calling the ambulance, Christian. Mira should be home any minute now, she can take care of me." The words come out more strained than I intended, but I need him to understand. I can’t risk this becoming bigger than it alrea
Blinded By Love Chapter 86 - The fear isn’t gone
I blink in shock, sprawled out on the floor, my robe hiked up and my hair over my face as Charlie barks wildly, his tail wagging furiously, clearly not understanding the situation. For a second, I just lie there, trying to collect myself as I hear quick footsteps through the chaos. I removed the hair from my face just in time to see a man grab me by the throat and pull me up to my feet as my scream was silenced with his hand over my mouth. My heart races in my chest, and panic surges through me like a tidal wave. The grip on my throat is firm, too firm, and I can barely breathe. My vision starts to blur, my head spinning from the force, but I fight to stay conscious. The hand over my mouth muffles my scream, and I'm helpless in his grasp, my body frozen in shock.Charlie is still barking, but the man doesn't seem to care. His eyes are cold, and calculating, and I can't make a sound, can't fight back. He’s too strong, and I can feel the pressure building in my chest."Hey man, stop. Th
Blinded By Love Chapter 85 - Not that simple, is it? Nothing ever is.
Love's POV"Dont forget the sexy pajama set, although I think Christian will be fine with you sleeping naked... covered in sweat and glued to his skin," Mira says as she stands by my bedroom door and overexposes her words with body mimics. "Mira, stop it. I don't even know if I should go there," I say as I sit on my bed. I don't know how much longer I will be able to keep pretending." I don't want to keep pretending."Love, come on. Relax and go, enjoy your time with him. Be happy." She says. But what she wants is for me to leave, she doesn't want me here, and I do not want to leave her alone. Especially now that she got bad news at work and will be stuck here thinking about it alone."How about you join us and we all do something together, perhaps it would be good for you and Christian to get to know each other better.""Yeah no, I won't be a third wheel. Besides I have to go take Charlie for a walk but first I need to buy a new leash because he chewed through the one we had." And sh
Blinded By Love Chapter 84 - A warning
A sharp edge slices through me, sharper than the anger I’m trying to keep in check. My mind flashes to Love, her smile, her warmth, everything she represents to me. She’s not just some pawn in this game, she’s everything. And for him to drag her into this... my chest tightens with a simmering fury. I push forward almost making Aiden stumble back as I look at Vincenzo dead in his different colored eyes that aren't cold but are filled with fire."You stay away from Love. Dont name her, dont even think about her." Vincenzo doesn’t flinch as my fists are clenched, but I force myself to remain still, to keep control...just barely, just enough.He tilts his head, his lips curling into that signature smirk that always seems to make my blood boil. "Oh, Christian..." he murmurs, his voice oozing with malice. "You shouldn't show your week spot so openly, not if you want to stay in the game." His words hit like a slap to the face, but I don’t back down. I’m past playing nice with this bastard."
Blinded By Love Chapter 83 - Highly unethical
Christian's POVLove left with my Mother and Seb and I had to come back to work. Today was an important meeting to settle our transporter for the gold if we wanted the shipment to arrive on time for production. It took some time to look over possible firms, Aiden isn't happy until he makes a thorough investigation and that is exactly why he is my right hand and my best friend. It doesn't matter all the money he has and his own obligations with his family companies he makes sure not to leave me alone, the same way I do it for him, whenever he needs me."Mr.Callahan, the meeting is about to start. The representatives are already seated." My assistant says as she enters my office."Is Aiden there," I ask."I'm sorry but I think he is not in the building, his card wasn't registered yet. Do you want me to hold the meeting for a few minutes... stall a bit?" She asks as she looks down at her tablet."No need, Im comeing." I stand up, straightening my suit as I head toward the conference room.
