Love at First Sight
Alethea, a young girl from a small village, accepts a tempting job offer to care for a sick employer in the capital city as a way to escape her mother. However, upon arriving at the employer's home, Alethea is shocked to discover that her patient is not the frail, elderly person she imagined, but Sebastian Tarcisio—a wealthy heir who is blind, arrogant, and stubborn. From their very first meeting, Sebastian is rude and constantly insults her, making her regret her decision to take the job. However, her mother has already taken the one-year advance payment, and if Alethea breaks the contract, not only will she face punishment, but her family will also suffer for spending the upfront salary. With no other choice, Alethea is forced to endure. In truth, Sebastian’s insults aren’t because he hates Alethea or doubts her abilities. It’s because he knows that his grandfather, Felix Tarcisio, intentionally placed Alethea in his life in the hopes that they would form a relationship and eventually give Felix a male heir to continue the Tarcisio family line. As time goes on, Alethea begins to realize that Sebastian isn’t as cruel as she initially thought. Beneath his hardened exterior, she sees his vulnerability. And in Alethea’s resilience, Sebastian starts to discover a gentleness within himself that he never knew existed. What will become of their story amidst the shadows of manipulation by Sebastian’s grandfather and the greed of Alethea’s mother? Will Alethea and Sebastian fight for their unexpected love, or will they end up parting ways?

Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 42 – Packing Up
"Pack up all of Shareeza's things," Sebastian ordered right after lunch."Papa?" Shareeza looked up at her father with pleading eyes. It was clear the little girl was reluctant to part with him. Alethea suspected that her reluctance had something to do with the pinch she had received earlier."Your mother is back, and you have to return to school," her father said, making the little girl's eyes well up with tears."I don't want to go home. I don't want to go to school. I just want to be with you," she said, still looking sad."Do you want to be a smart girl?" Sebastian asked, making Alethea suppress a quiet sigh.Why was "being a smart kid" always the go-to argument for adults whenever a child didn't want to go to school? Why didn't they ever ask why the child didn't want to go? A child refusing to attend school didn't automatically mean they were lazy or unintelligent. There could be a reason—a trigger—that made them reluctant to go. Maybe it was because they found the school environ

Alethea didn't clean herself in Sebastian's room because she felt unworthy. After wiping away her tears, she put her work clothes back on and tidied up the room as if nothing had happened. Once she was sure Sebastian's room was spotless, she took the soiled sheets out and headed straight for the laundry room.Fortunately, she didn't run into anyone inside the villa while she made her way to the storage area. Perhaps Helen had taken her place looking after Shareeza while she was away. As for Pierre, he would undoubtedly remain by Sebastian's side.After loading the laundry into the washing machine and turning it on, Alethea walked back to her room. Just like on the first night when Sebastian took her virginity, she scrubbed her body over and over again, washing herself harshly. But this time, she no longer cried.Sitting at her small vanity while drying her damp hair, Alethea studied her own reflection. Her face looked bare without any makeup. She appeared exhausted, with dark circles

"Don't you want to do it?" Sebastian asked when he didn't feel Alethea move, while the man's hand was still gently rubbing Alethea's back, seemingly coaxing."I-I've never done it, sir." Alethea answered honestly.She looked down, staring into Sebastian's eyes that seemed to be looking back at her even though she knew he could not see. Her gaze ended at Sebastian's pink lips and Alethea swallowed nervously."Just do as you wish." Sebastian said still in a coaxing tone while his thumbs began to move to rub the outer area of Alethea's breasts.Alethea bit her lower lip, but slowly lowered her head. Either afraid of Sebastian's tantrum or curious about the sensation, Alethea pressed her lips against his.It felt warm, and soft. Then, with curiosity, Alethea starts to kiss Sebastian's thin upper lip and suck on it. Sebastian's fingers squeezed Alethea's back impatiently.Moving her head to the other side, Alethea's lips take over Sebastian's lower lip. Sebastian held back his impatient mo

Sebastian's words lingered in Alethea's mind, making it impossible for her to enjoy dinner. Anxiety and dread gnawed at her, filling her thoughts with uncertainty about what the night had in store for her.Dinner passed in a blur. Alethea couldn't even recall what she had talked about with Shareeza. Her heart pounded harder every time she noticed the food on Sebastian and Shareeza's plates slowly disappearing."I'll take care of it," Helen said when Alethea reached for the dishes. Alethea looked at the older woman as if asking for permission to handle the cleanup, but Helen simply shook her head."There's no point in stalling. You already know where you'll end up," she said with a faint smile.Taking a deep breath and trying to hold back tears, Alethea made her way to Shareeza's bedroom. Sebastian was already there, sitting at the edge of the bed while Shareeza was wrapped snugly in her cartoon-themed blanket."Good night," the little girl said, surprisingly not asking Alethea to read

Alethea accompanied Shareeza as she played in the afternoon. Since Sebastian had forbidden them from playing on the grassy yard for fear that there might be another snake, they spent the afternoon in the living room, playing traditional games that Pierre had taken out from storage."What is this?" Shareeza asked when she saw a dark blue plastic congklak board in Pierre's hands."This is called congklak, Miss," Alethea informed her."Ohh..." she responded, nodding as if she understood. "And this?" she asked, pointing at a clear plastic bag filled with dried seeds."These are dried soursop seeds. Do you know soursop, Miss? The fruit with green skin and white flesh?" Alethea tried to explain. The little girl frowned and shook her head."Does it taste good?" she asked curiously."It's delicious. It's sweet but sometimes a little sour. It's usually great for making juice, syrup, or mixed into shaved ice desserts." Thinking about soursop suddenly made Alethea crave sweet and tangy soursop j

Alethea stepped out of the bathroom after hearing an impatient knock from outside—it was Helen."Was your stomach so bad that you had to occupy the bathroom all by yourself?" Helen asked curtly, eyeing Alethea, who still looked pale."Sorry," Alethea murmured weakly as she stepped out and held the door open."No need to apologize. I just need to use the toilet." Helen pushed past Alethea to enter. "Oh, and I've reheated your lunch. Eat it before it gets cold again. You know I hate wasting food," she added before closing the door and locking herself inside.Alethea took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, a faint smile forming on her lips.Even though Helen often spoke in a cold or even sharp tone, her actions clearly showed care. Alethea felt grateful, even if she never had the courage to say it out loud.She walked over to the bar table, where a steaming plate of rice and a large piece of spicy chicken sat alongside a glass of warm water.Sitting down, she pulled the plate closer, prep

Alethea opened her eyes and stared at the unfamiliar ceiling. She frowned and sat up, only to realize that she was in her employer's bedroom."What happened?" she asked herself in confusion, rubbing her forehead. Her memory flashed back to when she was in the garden."A snake?" Alethea furrowed her brows. "Yes, a snake." Earlier, Shareeza had screamed the word snake, and in her panic, Alethea had jumped to grab Shareeza. However, the dizziness she felt made the world spin, and everything went black."Did I faint?" she wondered as she stood up. "For how long?"Alethea looked around for a clock in Sebastian's room but couldn't find one. She had forgotten that Sebastian disliked the ticking sound of a regular wall clock. He had also said he didn't need a digital clock because he couldn't see it. Instead, he usually checked the time using his smartwatch.Not wanting to waste time overthinking, Alethea decided to tidy up Sebastian's bed. As she lifted a pillow, she caught the scent of his

"Call a doctor here immediately," Sebastian ordered as he made his way to his room, noticing that Pierre had neither taken any action nor given any instructions."The nearest hospital is forty-five minutes away, Sir. And they're not your personal doctors whom you can summon whenever you want. If you want her to be examined, we'll have to take her there ourselves," Pierre replied in his usual flat tone."Then let's go now," Sebastian said, about to turn toward the door, but Pierre blocked his path."We'd still have to wait in line, and that would take a long time.""Then what do you suggest? Didn't you say she needed to be examined to find out why she fainted?" Sebastian snapped."Actually, I don't need a doctor to figure out why she fainted. But if you insist on having her checked, I already instructed Andrea to call a paramedic before telling him to take Alethea to her room," Pierre answered, still with his composed demeanor. The man was clearly much calmer than Sebastian, who couldn

The throbbing in Alethea's head turned into dizziness, causing her vision to blur. The increasing heat of the sun and the pattern in front of her made her feel nauseous.She placed her drawing pencil down and stopped coloring. Choosing to close her book, she noticed Shareeza looking at her with a puzzled expression."What's wrong? Are you bored?" Shareeza asked, surprised.Alethea smiled and shook her head but immediately regretted it as it made her head feel like it was spinning. Shareeza observed Alethea closely, then pulled out some tissue and handed it to her."You're sweating. Are you hot?" the little girl asked, looking at the thin cardigan Alethea was wearing.Alethea wiped her forehead with the tissue Shareeza gave her, but Shareeza had misjudged. Alethea wasn't hot; she was actually feeling a chill, and the sweat on her forehead was cold sweat, not the kind from heat."I'm going to get some water. Do you want me to bring you something from the kitchen?""Can I have some juice

Prologue
“Sir, don't. Please...” Thea sobbed in fear as she pushed Sebastian's sturdy body again. Yet again, her efforts were completely fruitless.“They want me to touch you.” Said Sebastian, who had managed to unbutton Alethea's uniform and pull it open until Alethea's stomach was exposed. “They want me to ravish you.” Sebastian continued in Alethea's left ear while the man's right hand rubbed Alethea's belly and continued upward under her bra until the man's big hand reached Alethea's round and firm breasts and squeezed them.“S-Sir... please... don't...” Alethea pleaded with tears in her eyes. But again Sebastian ignored her request, the man deliberately rubbed and squeezed Alethea's breasts until Alethea could only shake her head in fear and kept trying to push Sebastian's body away.“They think I've gone numb.” Sebastian whispered this time in the hollow of Alethea's neck. The man kissed and licked the neck with the tip of his tongue which overwhelmed Alethea and made her feel even more ...
