Chapter 50 - Christmas present

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-23 21:58:28
Christian’s POV

Christmas Eve

Sebastian 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.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    "Love, would you join me for a moment? There is someone I'd like for you to meet." Grace asks me as she gracefully gets up from her chair. "Mom, is it really necessary to have one of your friends bore Love to death?" Sebastian asked. Clearly, she had mastered the ability of her voice not matching the expression on her face because it was obvious that what she really wanted to do was talk to me... about the decision I had made. My time officially running out. "Sebastian, that is no way to talk about my boring friends," Grace says quietly. "Of course, Grace. I'll join you." I say, standing up as gracefully as I can, hoping my calm demeanor hides the growing knot in my stomach. "Sebastian we leave you in very, very good hands," I add as Grace comes to my side and we slowly walk away to a more private spot. Grace turns to face me, her gaze soft but knowing. There’s an air of quiet expectation about her as if she’s been waiting for this moment. “Love,” she starts, her voice gentle ye

    The music swirls around us, carrying us deeper into the dance, the violins weaving a delicate web that we can’t help but be caught in. As we glide across the floor, I feel like we are both part of something bigger than either of us. It's a strange kind of magic... the chemistry between us is undeniable, even if the consequences of it are unclear."Would you like something to drink?" Christian asks as the music stops yet he doesn't let go of me. "Champagne?" He says as the waiter passes and he grabs a glass, gently, grazing my fingers he slips the cup into my hand before reaching out for his own."Thank you," I say softly, lifting the glass to my lips. The bubbles tingle against my tongue, sharp and refreshing."Perhaps this is a good time to tell you I'm a lightweight, three glasses are my proven limit." Anything after that resulted in my vision blurred and my legs shaky. I learned my lesson. Christian chuckles softly at my admission, the sound low and warm in the stillness of the room

    The name Vincenzo Bianchi DeLuca hangs in the air like a shadow, his very being demands attention and there’s no mistaking the authority he exudes even tho the tattoos hint at a rougher side that doesn’t match the polished environment. "How do you know it's him?" I ask Tamara."I've read his profile, there is no mistaking him." Tamara’s tone is low, and her eyes flicker toward him with a mix of intrigue and wariness as Aiden approaches our table."Christian, a word." Christian meets Aiden’s gaze, and for a moment, the air around them crackles with a subtle tension. The playful energy that had been at the table just moments before disappeared, replaced by something more serious.Christian gets up, eyes scanning the table before he walks over to me."I'll be back in just a moment, wait for me here." Christian’s voice is calm, and I answer only with a smile before he walks away."What exactly happened right now?" Sebastian asks unaware of the situation. I didn't even know what I was look

    He didn’t respond. Then, footsteps. Slow, deliberate. He moved closer, and my breath hitched in my throat even though I tried not to let it show. I turned my face slightly toward where I thought he was standing, listening for the soft rustle of his suit, the shift in the air. I didn't need my eyes to feel the gravity of him near me. "You wore a mask, every single day. Lied, to our faces... and you say it was for our own good. You are no better than the bastard I had for a father." His voice was closer now, a whisper laced with venom. "But I am not him." "Perhaps you are even worse. He at least didn't pretend to love us, at least not in the end." Christian says, anger blooming inside of him. "I love you, Christian. More than I ever thought was possible." I say trying to reach him but he pushes back at me, my back against the wall. "Shut up, you lie so well I might believe you for a second." “If I wanted to keep lying, I wouldn’t have told you the truth, I wouldn't still be here

    Four weeks later...The last night in the dark...I am on the edge.I can't take this darkness anymore. I keep telling myself it's soon going to be over, that at least I will be able to act freely, even walk into the world alone free of pretenses. I want my parents to see that the lie is over, and I want Bash to get over everything soon, even if that means that whatever this is I have with Christian comes to an end.We have been living in this penthouse for three weeks now, and every second for me has been hell. His indifference at times is worse than his hate, at least hating me meant he still had me somewhere in his soul, in silence alongside this darkness that was eating at me.If it weren't for Mira I would be completely alone, she is the only good thing here. She told me to take off the bandages while Christian was at work but I just couldn't. He was far too unpredictable, popping in and out at different times as if trying to surprise me by doing something wrong and I didn't feel

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 115 - More secrets

    Hearing the voices of people I love around me made me feel peace, so much so that I never wanted them to leave. In front of them, Christian was the man, the husband I always thought he would be. He was loving, kind, and caring. I never wanted it to end.But all that is good has its end, so did this.My friends were about to leave, at least Grace and Bash would be around. At least not until Christian makes us move again.Tamara and Bash were aside, talking. It is nice to hear that the friendship between them is blooming, hopefully into something bigger and better. Grace pulled Christian away to the office for a moment leaving me alone with Mira."Love, call me crazy but something here doesn't feel right. Are you sure you are as happy as you say you are?" I knew she would sense something, and despite promising Christian I would say anything I needed to let go with someone, and who better than Mira? I need someone on my side, someone to stand in my corner... make me feel less alone."Mira

    "People are still talking about the wedding. It's the talk of every event since." Grace says as we sit at the table. Christian is right next to me, holding my hand, his thumb tracing the side of my knuckle. It feels nice. Too nice. "And no one thinks you are pregnant anymore, so now they believe it's true love." Bash comments. "Good, because it is. As true as it gets," Christian says as he kisses my cheek. I smile. It is so hard to be in this darkness. The voices around me keep surprising me. Every movement strikes a nerve within me, and I have to pretend to be relaxed. "Why didn't you tell us about doing the surgery?" Bash asks. "We wanted you to see firsthand that the surgery you will go under would work because she will be taking off the bandages just before you go under. That will give you all the training you need to go there without a doubt in your mind that this will work." Christian’s words are calm like he’s presenting a plan instead of revealing something deeply personal.

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 113 - Or what?

    Love's POVI think I understand Bash now better than ever. Being trapped in the dark was horrible. No wonder he felt the way he did. Even when I knew well that this would last only four weeks, walking around with my eyes bandaged up was hard. even harder than I imagined it would be.But one thing was good... as long as I couldn't see I wouldn't have to look at the hatred that grew inside Christian's eyes. This situation goes from bad to worse. The silence between us felt like it was splitting me in two. I could feel Christian beside me, his presence so tense, so tightly wound. I couldn’t see his face, but I didn’t need to. I could feel the sharp edge of his anger cutting through the air between us. The hatred I’d seen in his eyes before, that dark, simmering look, now felt like a constant companion. He didn’t even have to say anything. I could feel it in the way he handled me, the way he spoke, the way he didn’t speak.But I liked the fact we were back home. Perhaps that way I won't fe

    "How long is this going to take? We have a plane to catch." That's not true. It's not like my private plane would go somewhere without me, but I wanted out of this doctor's office as soon as possible."I thought you were returning in a month. If it's supposed we just did the surgery she wouldn't be recovered by now. The world won't believe it." The good doctor says as Love glances up at me."Plans change. Tell her what to do to fake it, she's good at that." I was on edge. Playing nice was so hard and I needed all the willpower I had to do this charade infront of my family, not him."We would need to bandage her eyes... keep her like that for about three to four weeks. And even after that she would need to use sunglasses outside for a period of time... pretend to adjust." Somehow that sounded perfect in my head. She would, even for a short four weeks be forced to walk around blind. She would get to taste her lie on her own skin. "She can do it," I say as I glance at her. "In fact, wrap

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 111 - Crushed under the weight of the betrayal

    Christian's POV I hate her. But somehow I hate myself more for still loving her. I hate how I still want her, and I hate even more the thought of another man having her. The image of the doctor's hand on her filled my chest with rage. She was mine. In every way possible, she was mine. Mine to torture, mine to punish, mine to hate. I wanted to break her. I wanted to watch her unravel beneath me until she knew, without a doubt, who she belonged to. My own torment, my own suffering, would be her punishment. But would it be enough? Would it ever be enough? I have never wanted anyone as much as he wanted her, but with every passing day, the love I thought I had for her had twisted into something darker. The same shade of dark I once felt for my lying father. He was the first and only lesson I need to understand how much a lie can destroy a life. He lied to my mother, he betrayed another woman. He would lie and leave us, his family, to be with someone else. A woman who probably just wa

    I didn’t know how I felt anymore. I still loved him, but a part of me was starting to fear him. The love that once felt so pure, so effortless, was now tangled in a web of control and lies. Every interaction, every word exchanged between us, left me more uncertain. The warmth I once felt in his touch had turned into something that made my bones feel frozen.I wanted to reach out, to say something that would make him hear me, make him understand the pain that I was going through. But every time I opened my mouth, the words felt wrong, twisted by the fear of saying the wrong thing, of pushing him further away. Every time I tried to speak, I felt like I was walking on a tightrope, the fear of falling into his wrath too great.After spending a week and a half not leaving the villa, he finally decided to leave. Here he would just casually reach for my hand as we walked but he did not talk much. At a spot with a beautiful view, he asked a stranger to take a photo of us, and he hugged and eve

  • Blinded By Love   Chapter 109 - An act

    Christian kept his word. To the outside world, we were this perfect, happy newlywed couple. So in love, so eager to start our honeymoon. But behind the facade, everything was different. Every touch, every word, every look felt hollow. His arms around me were nothing more than a carefully constructed performance, a show for the people around us. As we walked through the airport, I couldn’t help but feel the weight of the eyes on us. The casual paparazzi snapped their pictures, capturing our smiles, our closeness, and the image of a perfect couple. But it was all just that, a picture. A snapshot of a life that didn’t belong to us.Christian kept his distance from the photographers, his presence almost protective. He would always make sure no one got too close, his hand gripping my arm just a little tighter whenever the flashes started. In that moment, I felt both protected and imprisoned, wrapped in a cocoon of control that had nothing to do with love and everything to do with appearanc
