MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #24 You Want What?
After three days of knowing Caius, this may be the first time Gia has seen him thinking seriously."The full story would be long and involve many people, so I'll just give you the simple version."Gia raised her eyebrows, curious. It seemed Caius wanted to be honest, but he was restrained by something he couldn’t freely discuss."I approached you because I know that the women with Raven are usually fake.""Fake? Fake women?! Do you mean transgender?"Gia couldn’t hide her surprise. She wasn’t homophobic, but Raven seemed very normal, especially considering how passionately he had kissed her before."What? Ha...ha...ha..."Caius burst into laughter, tears forming in his eyes at Gia’s wildly off-target guess. Gia eventually smiled a little, realizing she had gone too far."Not that kind of fake, Gia!" Caius wiped his tears. "I wonder what Raven’s reaction would be if he knew you were questioning his manhood.""There’s no need to bring this up with him!"Gia panicked. She knew Raven woul

"Hello? Hellooo…" Caius snapped his fingers in front of Gia's face, as his question was only met with silence."Huh? What? Sorry, I was daydreaming a bit." Gia ran her fingers through her hair, trying to pull her wandering mind back into focus."You’re daydreaming again, Gia. You've been in this state since the day before yesterday. Every time you're quiet, your eyes go blank, lost in thought. What’s really on your mind?" Caius sounded like a sulking teenager."Sorry. I'm just struggling with planning the training schedule.""Huh? But isn't everything with Raven’s schedule set? What are you still thinking about?"Gia silently cursed at herself, realizing her excuse hadn’t fooled Caius. He was right, of course. Raven's schedule was already arranged.“It is. But Jasper’s coming back tomorrow. I need to coordinate with Raven's usual work schedule.”"Oh, I see.” Caius believed her this time.Gia lowered her gaze to the tea in her hand. She didn’t like lying to Caius. But she also couldn’t

Gia gently pressed Raven's ankle, loosening his stiff muscles. Since starting to walk with a wheeled walker, Raven's leg muscles, which bore much of the strain, had become sore.Gia became aware of this only after observing the peculiar movement in Raven's leg, as he had not expressed any complaints.After what Gia referred to as "that unfortunate night," they had once again become distant, mirroring their initial separation following Willow's arrival. Raven worked hard without complaining, and the atmosphere between them was strictly professional. No teasing, no sarcasm, no touch.It was a perfectly healthy work environment until Gia discovered that Raven was silently enduring the pain in his leg.“You may not want to talk to me, but please at least tell me if something’s wrong with your leg. Your condition will worsen if this is left untreated!” Gia growled, trying not to raise her voice.“I don’t want to talk to you? You’re the one avoiding me, Haze. Not me!” Raven immediately con

"Take a left, then stop at the house with the black gate," Jasper instructed Gia, giving her directions."We’re not going home?" Gia asked, not recognizing the area. Raven's house was situated in an urban area, but this one appeared to be deep in the forest, surrounded only by trees and darkness, with no other light source besides their car's headlights."No. It’s too risky," Raven replied."What about Marlow?" Raven asked Jasper."I already sent a message. They've evacuated," Jasper answered.Gia didn’t need to ask further. She was incredibly curious about the conversation unfolding between them. She wanted to know what was happening and why they were being attacked, but she realized this wasn't the right time, especially with Jasper sounding tenser than usual. His wounds needed attention."We’re here." Gia saw the black iron gate, covered in creeping vines."Press the green button located on the left side of the dashboard," Jasper instructed.Gia searched briefly. "This one?" She fo

Gia awoke with a startle, momentarily confused.“Nightmare?” asked Raven.Gia turned to see him seated on a single sofa to her left. Raven looked like a model, sitting with one leg crossed over the other, holding a classic teacup in one hand. Elegant and mysterious. He had also changed into a neat suit, complete with sunglasses. Last night, his clothes had been stained with Jasper's blood."Control yourself, Gia. Wipe your drool," Gia thought to herself, blinking to dispel the intoxicating sight.“Did he do this on purpose?” Gia grumbled inwardly.“How’s Jasper?” Gia asked. The sofa where he had slept was already empty.“Upstairs, cleaning up. He’s fine. No fever or infection,” Raven replied.“His arm needs a sling to keep his shoulder stable.” Last night, Gia was unable to locate one.“It’s taken care of. The doctor who came last night provided him with a cloth sling.”“Doctor?” Gia was surprised a doctor would come to such a remote place.“A lot happened while you were asleep, Haze.

This time, Gia enjoyed her flight more. She still declined all offers of alcoholic drinks, opting instead for tea and coffee.In front of her, Raven and Jasper were deep in conversation, their heads nearly touching as they discussed something.The interior of the plane, with leather seats arranged facing each other, resembled the living room in Raven's house from before."I'll finish this now," Jasper said, shifting away and reaching for his laptop, signaling the end of their work discussion."And why do you sound like you're sighing? This is the sixth time you've taken a deep breath." Raven turned to look at Gia, who was indeed frowning in annoyance."It's nothing. I'm fine. Just eager to see Katastari."Raven chuckled. "Let me guess. You're annoyed because I won't answer your questions about last night's attack."And Gia was grateful Raven couldn't see her reaction. To her, he seemed almost like a mind reader. His accuracy at guessing her thoughts was uncanny. Hearing her silence, R

NGUUUUNG!The loud noise, resembling the sound of a drill, made Gia frown. As her eyes opened, she realized she was in an unfamiliar place.The room was beautiful—minimalist decor, white paint, and a large, four-poster wooden bed. White drapes hung from each corner, creating a classic look that matched the room's overall theme. Gia blinked, trying to recall the last thing that happened to her.KATASTARI!Gia sat up, taking in her surroundings more clearly. To her right was a wide glass wall revealing a stunning blue sea, bringing a smile to her face. Raven hadn’t lied about how beautiful this place would be.NGUUUNG!Gia jumped. The humming of machinery sounded again. "What is that noise?" she thought.“Is it bothering you? I can tell them to stop if you like.”Gia turned her head quickly to the right. Raven stood beside the bed with his cane.“When did you get here?” Gia quickly recovered from her surprise.“Before you woke up.”“Doing what?”“Training, of course.” Raven raised his c

Gia pushed Raven's wheelchair along the path she had seen from the room earlier. The wheelchair moved smoothly as the path was paved with thin stone slabs set into the ground, creating a flat surface.Her eyes caught sight of a price tag sticking out from the sleeve of her trench coat. Clicking her tongue, Gia pulled off the tag and tossed it away.All the clothes in "their" closet remained brand new, as none of Gia's clothes from Sweden had arrived. According to Raven, the house had beenvacated.The evacuation order had come so suddenly. Sophie and Marlow had only managed to bring a few essential items for Gia, like medical equipment and her supply of medicines.Gia could only accept the dozens of new clothes provided for her. It wasn't that she was ungrateful, but the person who selected the clothes had very different tastes from hers.Gia’s casual wardrobe usually consisted of plain cotton pants and comfortable T-shirts, but nearly all her new clothes were dresses. Some were ankle-

MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #199 As Always (end)
King Gustaf held Raven’s hand tightly for a moment. He was aware that their happiness depended on each other.He kept his eyes on Raven as their hands separated.“Well then, I’ll take my leave.” King Gustaf saw no reason for further pleasantries, so he turned around immediately. But before taking a step, he glanced back.His gaze focused on Lonan, who had remained silent and lowered his head after declaring he would be a witness.“I truly wished you had married Willow, but I couldn’t force her. I’m sorry. And please forgive Willow for her mistake this time.” His eyes flickered toward Raven as well, not just Lonan. Then, finally, he stepped out.Two deep sighs of relief filled the room as the door closed—one from Lonan, one from Raven. Raven picked up his phone, checking something. Maybe he was telling Jasper to cancel a plan.“King Gustaf will keep his promise because he will never let Willow’s name be tarnished in the eyes of society. He always avoids scandals so that Willow can live
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #198 The Promised
Gia didn't know who Tilda was, but Raven's intense reaction made her suspect something. Raven clearly cared about whoever Tilda was."Why can't I mention her name? She's Willow's mother!"Gia's suspicion proved correct. King Gustaf disgustingly uttered a name that would surely shake Raven. He mentioned someone Raven loved as dearly as her own family. It was a deceitful move.Raven's face burned with anger, yet the furrow in her brow showed she was thinking. That name had driven her to get engaged and save Willow's life. The inner battle flared up again—this time, it was Raven's turn."For Tilda's sake, I beg you: don't press those charges. And please hand over that recording. You surely don't want to ruin Willow's life, right?""He ruined himself without my interference. You only sped up his plunge into ruin by continually excusing all his misdeeds." Raven stopped using the formal "you" when addressing King Gustaf. Merely mentioning Tilda's name ignited deep emotions within her."You
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #196 She's Insane
King Gustaf stared at Al and Frey. "Are they your children?" Gia wanted to answer with a scathing remark with the word idiot, just like she'd used earlier to respond to Lonan's question. It was blatantly obvious who Al and Frey's parents were. "Yes," Gia replied politely. The time when she could curse at the king had long passed. "Then you must understand my feelings. The feelings of a father who must do everything to protect his child." King Gustaf quickly turned to Raven. Unfortunately, his emotionally charged statement was met with a mocking laugh from Raven. "No. I can't understand your feelings. Because I'll make sure these two don't grow up to be manipulators who casually stab others in the back," Raven retorted sharply. King Gustaf's jaw tightened in anger. "What's going on?" Gia demanded. Seeing Raven provoke the king's anger, she felt some satisfaction, but she still didn't grasp the full context. "I'm filing charges against Willow. This time, I'll ensure she
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #195 The King is Coming
"Oh... My... God...," Lonan muttered as he saw Raven enter carrying Freya. Gia followed behind, with Al playfully twirling around her neck.They had to wrestle a bit while heading to the hospital. Al began teething and fussed whenever things didn't go his way.Freya, who always imitated her older sibling, considered crying together a fun activity. As a result, Gia and Raven had to fight through a torrent of tears before they could leave the house."They…"Lonan shot a disbelieving glance. He rarely saw Raven accompanied by a cute baby; in his opinion, it didn't seem right. In fact, Gia used to feel the same—but that was then. Gia feels something is missing without Freya clinging to Raven's chest.It wasn't Gia's idea to bring them to the hospital; Raven requested it. He wanted to introduce Al and Freya to their uncle. It was a common wish, and Gia simply couldn't refuse."Are they twins?" Lonan asked."You don't eat enough apples. How can you ask such a stupid question? The answer is
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #194 Foolish Of You
Gia peeled the apple on the table and cut it into smaller pieces. That wasn't how she ate apples—she preferred whole ones, eating them with the skin on.The apple wasn't for her. After placing it in a bowl, Gia carried it to the patient's bed and set it on the table. The person sleeping in that bed jumped awake at the sound of movement and footsteps.Gia glanced sideways, and their eyes met. Too late to look away, she could only huff in irritation.Lonan looked toward the bowl of apple. "I thought you'd never do something kind for me again."Gia snorted. "Exactly! I didn't do this for you. I did it for Raven. He'll be upset if he finds out I still despise you."Lonan gave a bitter smile. He had set his hopes too high. Gia always tried her best to be kind to him because she knew that if she kept showing her dislike, Raven would end up sad. Gia understood that feeling well—it reminded her of the time she watched Matteo and Raven argue.Of course, that argument couldn't compare to the ha
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #193 He's Gonna Be Fine
Raven felt a little calmer after Gia invited him to sit. Although he still felt anxious, his breathing steadied. He leaned back in his seat while gripping Gia's hand.Doctors had been operating on Lonan for about four hours, and they still hadn't given any news about his progress. Based on her experience, Gia could only guess that the knife must have injured one of his organs—she couldn't tell how severe the damage was.The wait felt like hell to Raven. He no longer displayed any emotion, as if his tears had drained every ounce of feeling. The overwhelming memory of his parents leaving haunted him, and he clung to the hope that Lonan would pull through.All his anger melted away and gave way to hope. He no longer cared about Lonan's mistakes—they now seemed insignificant.Whenever a lousy memory threatened to overwhelm him, Raven squeezed Gia's hand, and Gia stroked Raven's arm gently. Gia reminded him of other parts of his life that still awaited him, assuring him that his world woul
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #192 It's Not Your Fault
From the beginning, Willow never planned to jump in or be fooled by Raven's blatantly apparent lies. Willow orchestrated this drama to get close enough to Raven so that they could hurt him.Now, Willow screamed in anger as their plan failed once again. Willow didn't care at all that Lonan collapsed and bled because of what they had done."Lonan!"Raven finally realized what was happening and roared Lonan's name. He tried to catch the falling body but couldn't manage it well."No!" Raven roared again when he saw the red stain spreading across Lonan's stomach.Gia pushed aside the nearby guards and ran toward them."Help him, Haze… I beg you," Raven whimpered. He clutched Lonan's head as Lonan began losing consciousness.Gia studied the wound that kept bleeding. The knife is still stuck there.Gia pressed her hand against the wound to stop more blood from flowing out and to prevent Lonan from going into shock from excessive blood loss."Call for help!" Gia shouted. Many ambulances waite
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #191 Toxic Till The End
Yesterday's mini forest that once looked peaceful and comfortable had transformed into a warzone. Gia now understood why all the police were downstairs. The royal guards had taken over their duties—not just the ones earlier on the stairs, but a much larger force now spread across the roof. Their primary purpose here wasn't Willow but because their master was also on the rooftop. King Gustaf stood roughly five meters behind Willow, trying to coax her down. Willow had already stepped outside the safety railing, facing the open air, her hands still gripping the rooftop's edge barrier. "Don't jump! Willow!" Gia could faintly hear his desperate pleas. "I should've made that barrier taller," Raven muttered. The railing would have been sufficient to prevent someone Gia's height from climbing over. But Willow, tall as a giraffe, stood only a few centimeters shorter than Raven. Her perfectly proportioned body—especially those long legs—made it easy for her to vault the barrier.
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #190 The Problem
“What's going on?!" Gia demanded, staring at Raven. Her face was pale, and her hand covered her mouth, holding back a torrent of curses.“How did she get in?!” Raven shouted, still directing her question to Jasper at the other end.After hearing Jasper’s response, Raven lowered the phone from her ear. Her eyes shifted to Lonan, who now looked as if he were having a heart attack."You gave her your pass card?" Raven asked quietly.Lonan shook his head. “She came to apologize yesterday... I didn't know... she must've taken it then.”He straightened up and rushed toward Raven.“We have to go there...,” Lonan said, shaking Raven’s arm."Why?"“Can someone explain what's happening?” Gia hated being left in the dark.“Willow is trying to kill herself. She's on the roof of the Lindgren Tower, ready to jump,” Raven explained.“She...” Gia couldn’t find the right words—Willow was beyond crazy.Raven didn’t look at Gia as he spoke. His eyes were fixed on Lonan, who kept shaking his arm.“We hav
