Chapter 47 - Take the chance to be loved again

last update Huling Na-update: 2025-01-20 15:51:25
"What are you doing home?" Mira asked me as she stepped down from the ladder where she was hanging up Christmas lights, her eyes landed on the bags I had just set down on the floor leaving a loud thud. "What are those?"

"The dresses Grace wants us to wear to the party." Along with the expensive accessories and beautiful masks. Hopefully, it will be enough to cover the dread on my face. I walked past Mira and sat down on the couch... it looked more like if I let myself fall down onto it like a sack of potatoes before placing my head in my cold palms.

"Love, are you ok?" No, absolutely not.

"She knows, Mira," I say before slightly lifting my heavy head. "Grace knows that I lied... she knows I'm not blind."

Mira froze for a moment, then she placed the ladder against the wall, the Christmas lights now forgotten in her hands.

"How? How did she find out?" Her voice dropped, low and careful, as if she was afraid of what came next. I leaned back into the couch, trying to steady myself.

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 48 - Wish

    Christian's POVI stood by the window watching the car drive in and sit in park just waiting to see Love step out... our conversation was short and I didn't have the chance to tell her everything that had rested on my mind since yesterday. She agreed to go to the party with me and for a second there I thought that was just about the first yes I was going to hear from her... but yet again she retracted from me. I could feel my heart beat in my chest as the car's engine finally cut off. I watched closely, hoping to see her make her way toward the door with that grace of hers, the one that always seemed to leave me breathless, even when it wasn't intentional. But as the door opened only my mother stepped out and made her way to the house alone."What are you doing glued to the window?" Mom asked as she entered the house, our driver left her shopping bags on the side table and left. "Love won't be returning today." She says as she leaves her bag aside. "Why? Did something happen?" Did s

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 49 - The obsession

    "Where is everyone today?" Sebastian asks as he walks inside with Marley on a leash. To think that just several weeks ago he refused to leave his room, let alone the house. He seems more calm, as the storm that used to live inside him has passed. I wasn't sure if he was as happy as we would have liked but he was more present, his voice was heard more and for that I couldn't be more grateful. "In here. Your brother and I were just talking about the New Year's Eve party. Perhaps this is the year you finally decide to join us." Mom says. Sebastian has been avoiding being in the public light for years, sometimes they even speculate as to just where he is.Sebastian shrugged, letting Marley tug at the leash for a moment before he pulled her back with a soft mutter of her name. "I don't know," he said, his voice unsure, though there was still a hint of that guarded tone I’d grown used to over the years. "A big party full of people isn't really my thing." He didn’t look uncomfortable in hi

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 50 - Christmas present

    Christian’s POVChristmas EveSebastian ended up calling Love last night telling her that she should in fact take some time for herself and her friends. I believe his words were We are going to miss you but we also dont want you to get sick of us.The only person sick without her presence is going to be me...but that is why I needed something... an excuse to go and see her, even if it was for just a minute. And that perfect excuse was a Christmas present.The question was what to get her? What would show her just how much she meant to me without it being too much or making things weird? I could already tell that I was walking a fine line when it came to Love. I didn’t want to overdo it. But I wanted her to know that I was thinking of her.I also wanted to get her something that she could keep close to her side at all times, something that would remind her of me, make me present in her every thought the same way she occupied mine. Something personal, with meaning, something small, intim

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 51 - Time away from me

    I thought about going to her apartment tomorrow yet I lacked the willpower to stay away today. So with the gift in my hand, I stood in front of her apartment door ready to knock, and let my eyes fall upon her beauty, tho the person who ended up opening the door was Mira. "Good evening, Mr.Callahan. What brings you here?" She asks even tho she knows the answer. "Good evening... hope I'm not much of a bother I just came to give something to Love. Can I see her?" Mira's eyes land on the box perfectly wrapped in red paper with a golden bow on top. "Love is in the shower... but come in, you can wait in the living room while I go and get her." I stepped inside, my shoes clicking softly against the floor. Mira stepped aside to let me in when the small dog came to bark at my feet."Calm down Charlie, this is... a friend," She says as she scoops him up in her arms. Mira gestured toward the living room, her expression unreadable as she moved toward the hallway. “I’ll let her know you’re here.

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 52 - Forever is a long time

    I could feel the slight tension in her posture as my hands settled on the small of her waist, but I held her there, not in an overpowering way, just enough to keep her close, to make her stop talking for a moment."Christain..." Love said as she put her hands on mine, yet she didn't try to escape my touch or step away from our closeness. The small gesture was enough to tell me that she wasn’t afraid of the closeness, even if there was still hesitation.“Love,” I said her name softly, almost like a plea, as if asking her to hear me beyond the words, to understand that there was no rush, no pressure. "There are a lot of things going through my head right now..." She says as she intertwines her fingers with mine, and my heart starts beating with more force than ever, sounding like drums in my ears. "I just need a bit of time to make a decision of what might be best... for both of us.""That is easy Love, on my part the best thing for me is to have you in my life... forever," I say as I s

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 53 - Merry Christmas!

    Love's POVChristmas morningI sat at the kitchen island with a coffee cup in my hand and stared down at the perfectly wrapped gift box Christian gave me. I shoudnt have accepted it in the first place, everything that I say yes to just bineds me more and more to him when I have no idea of what it is that I should do.One second I was convinced that nothing was possible, that there was nothing to look forward to but then Grace's and Mira's words played on and on inside my head making me think that I do have a possibility of actually having what my heart desires so much. That I could have Christian, a man who in more ways than one is the perfect man... the man of my dreams, something I didn't think was possible after Daniel.I took a sip of my coffee, the rich taste grounding me, but my thoughts were anything but steady. I knew that I was on the edge of a decision, but it felt like I was standing on a cliff, unsure if I could take a step forward or if I’d fall. And if I did fall, would I

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 54 - A detail that I could change

    New Years Eve"Wow, now we thought we looked amazing but look at you Love. It's obvious Grace picked out the best for you." Mira said as Tamara whistled when I stepped out of my room and walked through the hall towards them."You look like a movie star... no like a princess... something out of a fairytale... Snow White for sure, I mean look at that long black hair falling off the shoulder against the red fabric..." Tamara said as she took my hand and made me give them a little spin. "Love, you are a vision.""Stop it you two." I could feel the heat rise in my cheeks as I twirled around for them, a soft laugh escaping me. "You're making me blush," I said. In reality, I knew what they wanted to do... pump my self-esteem to the roof knowing how stressed I was feeling. I practically ate everything out of our fridge because the nerves would otherwise eat me.Mira raised an eyebrow at me, crossing her arms with a teasing smile. "God I wish I had those curves." "Mira what are you talking abo

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 55 - Enjoying the night

    When we reached the table, Christian gently pulled out the chair for me, his voice low and smooth as he said,“You’ll be comfortable here, I’ll make sure of it.” He made sure I was settled before seating himself beside me.Mira and Tamara were already there, smiling and chatting, but when they saw us, the conversation quieted a little, and they both gave me knowing glances, Mira's eyes twinkling with mischief, while Tamara looked at me with a softer expression. "Mr.Callahan, thank you again for the invitation," Tamara said as she leaned back in her chair.Christian gave Tamara a polite smile, his posture was relaxed but always composed. “It’s my pleasure, Tamara. I’m glad you could join us tonight,” he replied smoothly, his gaze briefly flicking to me before something called for his attention."Please, forgive me there are some people I need to say hey to but I will be right back." Christian gave me a gentle smile before standing, his eyes lingering on mine for a moment as if assuring

  • 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."

    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.
