"For how long does one cook bread?" I hear Mira talk as she types into her phone. Every time one of her dates goes badly she comes home and tries to cook something out of the little things we have left in our fridge. Tonight it just so happened that we were out of bread."I think the word you are looking for is bake, not cook," I say as I lean over the couch, stretching my legs in the process as I remove the overheated laptop from my lap."That makes more sense," Mira says as she turns to our oven. "Bake at 375° until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped or has reached an internal temperature of 200°... since when did the internet become so useless? Sounds hollow? How does hollow look like in minutes?" Mira asks as she turns the dial on the oven with frustration I get up and take the phone out of her hand."Half an hour to forty-five minutes... see, the small letters," I say as I tap her shoulder. "Relax Mira, it was just a bad date. You shouldn't get all worked up over

I stood underneath my shower letting the hot water fall down my body as my tears mixed with it. I often cried like this, in hiding then blaming the red eyes on the peppermint shampoo.The interview I had today... I totally ruined it... or the interview ruined me, one of those statements was true I was just trying to figure out which one of them made me feel better.What if this meant we were gonna lose the apartment?What if this meant I would need to move back home?No, absolutely not. That is a kind of low I do not want to sink down to.And Mira? I can't believe I let her down after everything she has done for me. It just feels like all of my luck has run out and no matter what I do I can't catch a break.This job would have been perfect, right up my alley. A chance in the jewelry design world but according to them I lack vision... everything I want to say has already been said.I can already hear my father..."I told you to study something useful that would bring bread to your table

"Love, come on cheer up. You'll find something soon." Our friend Tamara yelled into my ear through the loud music while Mira went to get us something to drink. It's safe to say that this party wasn't enough to bring my mood up and the flashing lights were starting to give me a headache."What worries me the most is the fact Mira would end up on the street because of me and she still has a lot of student debt to pay off, we were barely making ends meet as is." I say back with a level of devastation that eats at me. I was definitely not the light of the party."Not everything is lost, you can always strip," Leon says. Now we have known Leon for quite some time, and despite being almost twenty-eight he behaved like a hormonal eight-year-old boy."Stop it," Tamara says as she pulls back her red wig."Stop what?" Mira asks as she brings back the drinks."Nothing, Leon just told Love she could strip for a living." To which Mira smacks him on the back of his head."Idiot." She says as he rub

"Are you alright?" His voice was so effortlessly seductive, or maybe that's just inside my head as I bit back on my lower lip until I was able to snap out of it. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you." He says as he takes the cane and puts it in my hand in a way that he first takes my hand and wraps my fingers around it while I try not to melt underneath his touch."I'm ok," I say as he helps me to my feet."I tried caching him but he got away." He says as he looks behind him and then back at me."It's alright, the bag didn't have anything important anyway," I say while unable to take my eyes off of him. "I shouldn't have even fought for it.""Well, you probably shouldn't be out alone, especially on a night like this one. It's not safe for anyone, let alone someone in your condition." My condition? What? Stupid?"What makes you say that?" I ask him."I'm sorry I didn't mean anything about it... it's just, well, you know... I thought I saw you, um, struggling a bit back there. With t
Last Updated : 2024-12-05Blinded By Love Chapter 5 - Love, you can do this.
"I can't do this," I say as I stare at a guideline that Mira quickly prepared for me along with some psychology books on how to approach a person with disabilities. It's not the help part I was worried about, it was the lying aspect of it. Mira told me about how a blind person gets by in life, and how one recognizes space. Frequent movements include body rocking, repetitive handling of objects, and hand and finger movements all that seemed easy, but it felt like that because I wasn't in those shoes."Love, you can do this. That man needs help and you need the job. Both of us need you to get the job." Mira says as she hands me the cane.I take the cane from Mira, my fingers trembling slightly as I feel the smooth, cold metal in my hand. It’s heavier than I expected, but I know this is the first step in the lie I’m about to step into. It all feels wrong, a twisted game I’m not sure I’m prepared to play. And Christian... what about the instant attraction I felt for him? The kind of attra

The knock echoes softly through the hallway, Christian’s hand hovers over the doorknob, but he doesn’t turn it right away. After a long pause, he sighs and pushes the door open.“Sebastian,” Christian calls out softly, his voice laced with a tenderness I hadn't expected. “I brought someone to meet you.”The room is dark. The heavy curtains are drawn tight, blocking out any light, and the air feels thick with stillness. I can make out a faint outline of a person sitting in the corner chair. It felt sad.“Who is it now?” The tone is sharp, but there’s a vulnerability that cuts through. “Another one of your... helpers?” Sebastian shifts in his chair as Christia“She’s not here to help. Not in the way you think. She’s just here to... meet you.”I take a deep breath, trying to steady myself, keeping my voice steady and gentle. "

The door shuts behind us with a soft finality, and I allow myself a breath, one I hadn’t realized I’d been holding."Thank you so much for doing this," Christian says as we take a few steps away from the door. "I dont know how you did it, but I know you got through to him... something not even his family was able to do." I think that is exactly why they weren't able to get to him in a different way. Family can be smothering, and not always in a good way. "You dont need to thank me, after all, you hired me to help him and that is exactly what I will do in the best way I can," I reply, trying to keep my voice light, but inside, the weight of the moment sits heavy."And I want to take this opportunity to allow you to do whatever you find best, whatever means you find necessary to get through his stubbornness because trust me Sebastian Callahan is one stubborn individual.""Callahan?" I ask."Right, forgive me I dont think I ever formally introduced myself. I'm Christian Callahan." He say

"Are you okay?" His voice is calm, his tone concerned. "I’ve got you," he adds as he helps me stand firmly on my legs again. I feel like an idiot, next to Christian I might as well be blind... the cane in my hands doing me no favors."I'm alright, a bit clumsy... I wasn't paying attention... to the space." I feel something stir inside me, but I push it down and remind myself that this is professional, this is about Sebastian. But it’s hard to ignore the fluttering feeling that lingers, even after he’s released my arm."I guess it will take time to get to know the house, for some reason parts of the house have these steps that separate the room instead of a door. I was the cause of me losing a lot of chases when I was younger." Christian says with a laugh at the memory."I'll make a mental note to remember that... to avoid future accidents." The last thing I need is to be fired for clumsy. "Can we go now?" I ask."Sure, let's go." He says, then proceeds to walk slowly beside me until we

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!Everyone cheered at the time of saying goodbye to the old year and welcomed the new while watching the spectacular fireworks. I smiled, hugged my friends, and then turned to Christian, whose eyes sparkled with something deeper than just the reflection of the fireworks. The energy in the room was electric, everyone buzzing with the excitement of a fresh start.This was my new start. Ours.I felt his arms wrap around me as he pulled me close, his breath warm against my ear. "Happy New Year, Angel," he whispered, his voice sending a shiver down my spine. "Happy New Year," I replied softly, my fingers grazing his jawline as I lifted my face to meet his tho I was still scared of meeting his eyes. I feared that if we connected he would know that his Angel was a liar. I put all of my faith in Grace and that she had a way of getting me out of this even if this lie hung over my head for the rest of my life."I thin
Blinded By Love Chapter 66 - It was so easy to be happy
Love's POVIt was so easy to be happy.It was easy not to think about anything else that wasn't Christian, to allow myself to be fully consumed by him and everything that he is. His smile and the look in his eyes were all too much, and yet, they were everything I ever wanted. I could lose myself in him and not mind it at all.His touch became everything I craved and I knew that soon enough I would be addicted to him, in the best... and worst way possible."It seems everyone abandoned our table," Christian says as we walk back into the ballroom, hand in hand, fingers interlocked, and I can’t help but smile, the warmth of his hand grounding me."They must be close by." I say as I see Tam approaching with Mira right behind her. They seemed tense, well Tam seemed tense Mira had that posture she did when she pretended everything was fine when it wasn't."Ohh here come your friends... do you mind if I leave you just for a second, I promised Seb I would save him from Mother's friends and I k
Blinded By Love Chapter 65 - Hell of a ride
My mind races as I stare at the message on my phone Until we meet again. I can feel my pulse quicken, the earlier adrenaline rush settling into a simmering confusion and anger. How could he have gotten my number? And why do I feel like I’ve just been played, even though I’m supposed to be the one in control here?I glance around the room, as though expecting him to reappear from the crowd, his sharp eyes locking onto mine once again, but there’s nothing. No sign of him. Not even his men. It’s like they were never here at all, as if they melted into the shadows, vanishing without a trace."Can we go now?" Tamara asks as she reapers behind my back."What?" I ask before I can read the angry face that event that beautiful mask couldn't hide. "It's not New Year yet, there is still an hour until midnight.""I lost my good mood." She says."Why? Who called you?" I ask."My TO." Uhh no. "Your new friend must have done something.""First of all he is not my friend, tell me what happened." She
Blinded By Love Chapter 64 - I get the feeling you like trouble
"You think I would be willing to put myself in the hands of a criminal?" I ask and Tamara’s expression doesn’t flicker. She meets my gaze with a calm, almost bored like she’s been expecting this question."It's about layers Mira. You might not fall for the criminal part... but what about the handsome part or the generous part..." She says as she glances at the necklace. "Perhaps you would fall for the part where he makes donations to hospitals, or funds the schools, cleans the streets, and builds workplaces... You Mira could fall for the gentleman part of him to the point that the criminal thing wouldn't bother you so much... because that is who you are Mira, you put things on a scale and pick the lesser evil, even when you dont want to admit it." Her words settle like a stone in my stomach. Damn her for knowing me so well."But if you already know all of this about him, about the people that work for him... why did you want to come to this party then?" I ask Tamara. She called me car
Blinded By Love Chapter 63 - Untouchable
Mira's POVLove and Christian left the table and from the corner of my eye, I could see them disappear from the public eye while I was left at the table feeling like a sitting duck while everyone's eyes rested on me. More specifically on the thing hanging around my neck. Why did he do that? Who in their right mind gives away such a valuable thing to a stranger?"Girls will you excuse us for a moment, I know it's a bit rude to leave you in an unknown aviromant but Sebastian and I have some hoseting to do. I'm sure you understand." Grace says as she gets up and walks over to her son. I'm still trying to read her, from what Love has told me about her she seems a good person... with things to hide. People who tend to help others keep secrets are usually the ones who are the best at hiding their own. I would know.There’s a certain air of mystery around Grace, the way she holds herself it’s almost as if she’s always thinking two steps ahead, anticipating the reactions of everyone around he
Blinded By Love Chapter 62 - Angel
The cool night air hits my skin as Christian leads me out onto the balcony, the sounds of the ballroom fading into the distance. I shiver slightly, but it's not from the cold it's because of him."Where were we? I thought we were still at the party. Or did you transport me to another planet?" My nerves make my mouth says the worst joke if one could even call it that."Uhh that would be a great power to have but for now I'll have to be happy with that I can whisk you away even if it's just a simple balcony..." He says as he touches my cheek so elegantly, so tenderly that it almost feels like being grazed by a feather. "Any place, any time is more special with you." I let my face fall into his palms as his words made my knees weak."Do you want me to melt?" I ask, my eyes closed, simply enjoying having him so close. Christian chuckles softly, the sound deep and warm, vibrating through me like a pleasant hum. His touch is steady, grounding me as his hands gently cradle my face. "If I wan
Blinded By Love Chapter 61 - One hell of a talk
Love's POVI laugh at Christian stories about the wealthy society and the secrets they hide between them, who knew they were as mortal as the rest of us when he saw Mira walk back into the ballroom and he had to give up his seat?"Took you long enough, the final piece is here," Tamara says to Mira as she comes back to the table and sits down."Yeah well, I just had an encounter with your favorite criminal," Mira whispers as she glances at the table where Mr.DeLuca is taking a seat himself. Between the conversation with Grace and Christian, I didn't even notice his absence."What? Why would he talk to you?" Tamara asks surprised."Perhaps because I am an extremely beautiful woman," Mira says ironically as Grace and Christan watch as the last jewel is brought into the room, covered with a red, silky sheet. "I dont know why, Tam. He was just there when I left the restroom. I have to say, up close and even with that mask he is quite striking." She whispered. I could see the curiosity in h
Blinded By Love Chapter 60 - Have we met before?
Mira's POVI swear one could live in one of these restrooms, it's almost, almost the size of my last crapy apartment we luckily dont have to stay in anymore. The real luck is never seeing the landlord's face again because otherwise I would get highly motivated to use my medical practice for the wrong reasons. So thank you, Christian.I took off my mask and studied my reflection in the mirror, eyes running over the familiar face, but something felt different tonight I barely recognized the person looking back. Especially not in this dress that came straight out of a movie... God how good it would be to live like this every day... they say money doesn't buy happiness but boy does it help.I couldn’t help but laugh softly at the irony of it all. Just a few months ago, I was counting pennies, hoping I’d make it through the next day. And now I’m standing in a room full of people who are the pennies, the ones with the power, the money, the history that means something. They weren't like me,
Blinded By Love Chapter 59 - Promise
The atmosphere between us shifts immediately like a switch being flipped. Christian’s voice, low and steady, holds an undeniable weight. He holds me closer, his arms wrapping around me in a way that feels protective, almost possessive. I take a deep breath, feeling the gentle sway of the dance floor beneath us, the music filling the spaces between us, and my mind races. Christian’s eyes remain steady, his expression full of hope... even more so he seems sure that my answer is going to be positive."Christian... ye..." "Good evening ladies and gentlemen." A woman's voice suddenly interrupts us as the music suddenly ends and everyone turns. "We oh so hope that you are having a wonderful time at the gala yet I'm here to ask you to return to your seats as the fundraiser auction is about to start. I would also like to remind you all that all the funds collected here will be distributed to countless medical research facilities and in the names of those who will shortly have better health c
