MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #27 It's Safe
"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-

Gia stared at the pile of swimsuits, her brow twitching in irritation. After waiting for days for the pool to be ready, she could finally schedule her hydrotherapy. But just as she was about to start, Gia encountered an annoying setback.Sophie had purchased five revealing swimsuits. There wasn’t a single full-suit model like the ones Gia was used to wearing in Gothenburg. As she sifted through the pile, her irritation grew, especially when she spotted a yellow bikini at the very bottom.Gia buried her face in her hands, frustrated and confused.For the past few days, Gia had been working hard to get used to the dresses Sophie provided. She could now admit they suited her well. However, Gia refused to wear any swimsuits.The thought of herself in a one-piece swimsuit, with Raven nearby, was enough to make her blush. Let alone the bikini—that was out of the question!Gia slammed the closet door shut in frustration."Are you ready? And what did the door do wrong?" Raven, waiting behind

Gia lowered her head, drawing patterns in the sand with her shoe. Her mind was busy trying to push Raven away, but her heart felt touched because she realized that Raven actually cared for her a little.Raven had specifically called the doctor because he was worried about her condition.“Gia, don’t be moved by such a simple act. Any human would do the same when seeing someone sick! He just didn’t want the hassle,” Gia murmured to herself quietly.But despite her warning to herself, Gia could still feel warmth flooding her heart—a happiness born of feeling cared for. Even that small bit of attention was enough to make her feel joy. But that joy was soon followed by pain.Gia squatted down, watching the waves as they recede before they could touch her shoes. She stepped forward, took off her shoes, and deliberately let the cold sea waves wash over her feet, hoping the sting of the cold could help her forget the ache in her heart.“Understand, Gia!”“He will never be yours.”“He lives in

"Hazel?"Gia’s consciousness stirred slightly upon hearing a voice call her name, possibly Sophie’s. She tried to see more clearly, but her eyes felt heavy.Then, a familiar scent wafted towards her—the scent of disinfectant, the smell of a hospital. But that was all. As she attempted to cling to that conscious thought, sleep, exhaustion, and another force overcame her, drawing her back into slumber.***After a period of unknown time, Gia regained consciousness once more, this time due to a gentle touch on her cheek.The warmth of the hand brought her a sense of comfort, like spring sunlight—familiar, sweet, tender, and sending a feeling of security deep into her soul. But it still wasn’t enough to make her open her eyes.Just before drifting back into darkness, Gia felt a small kiss on her forehead.***Pain and soreness—these were the first things Gia felt. Her body was tired, weak, an

“There’s been a slight change of plans. We cannot return to Norway today,” Raven said, accelerating the car after the traffic light turned green.“What about Al and Frey?!” Gia protested loudly. She had been holding back her longing for them, and Gia was sure Raven felt the same.“Don’t worry. Jasper has sent a plane there. I think they’ll arrive here tomorrow.”"Oh, that’s good.” Gia sighed in relief.“The problem we faced earlier isn’t as simple as I thought. It might take a month or two to resolve. You don’t mind staying here for a while, do you?” Raven knew Gia loved their cabin in Norway the most.Gia quickly shook her head. “I don’t mind being anywhere as long as they’re there and you’re with me.”Raven smiled gratefully, appreciating how easily Gia understood and accepted the situation without making many demands.“Then where will we stay?” Gia asked. Raven was now driving toward the city area.“We don’t need to hide anymore. So I think it is safe to return to my old home.”"Th

However, they immediately faced west. They didn’t notice Gia sitting behind them.Gia felt cornered, as she had no other space to hide or escape. The entrance to Raven’s office was far to the east.Reluctantly, Gia sat still, waiting for them to leave.“You’re not joking, are you?” one of them, a woman with wavy red hair, exclaimed in shock.“I saw it with my own eyes. Sia came out of the elevator with Mr. Lindgren. And you should have seen it. Mr. Lindgren was carrying a coat and a large box, even though he usually never carries anything in his hands when he’s with someone else.”Gia’s heart raced as she realized they were talking about her, making her nervous.The lengthy explanation came from the woman Gia had first seen welcoming Raven. Her short black hair swayed as she nodded enthusiastically.“Is she pretty?” another member of the group asked."Her face is decent. Not extraordinarily beautiful, but sweet and pleasant to look at.”As if she had just passed a challenging test, Gi
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #183 This Is Also Me
Gia’s face flushed with embarrassment. She remembered how nearly everyone had stared at her face and scrutinized her body earlier.“They were just staring; no one made any comments. The rule still stands, Haze. If any of them had commented about you, and I happened to know or hear it myself, I would send them to hell faster than you can blink,” Raven asserted.“Bad comments, you mean,” Gia corrected.Gia didn’t support Raven’s habit of firing or punishing employees, but there wasn’t much she could do when Raven was so determined. Besides, it wasn’t like she could keep track of every employee Raven had let go.Gia made a slight correction, hoping the number of employees fired would be fewer. She also hoped no one would comment negatively about her, so no one would have to lose their job.***“Come in,” Raven said as they arrived in front of a large wooden door engraved with the name ‘Raven Corbin Lindgren’ in gold ink.Raven’s office was located in the most strategic corner of the floo

"Wait." Raven stopped Jasper from entering the elevator, then pressed the button for the top floor, marked P. The elevator doors closed.“If you want to change clothes before meeting the occupants of this building, you’ll have to do it here. Right now."That was the reason Raven had prevented Jasper from entering the elevator. She explained this before Gia could accuse her of being cruel for leaving Jasper behind.“Once these doors open, a room will be full of employees working under the board of directors. So, you need to change now.”That wasn’t a fabricated excuse, but Gia still had to think twice before doing something so bold. She would be undressing in a public space, even inside an elevator.At the moment, her outfit wasn’t appropriate for making a good impression. She had dressed casually, thinking today’s event was just about picking Raven up from prison—an occasion that didn’t require fancy attire."How about it?" Raven asked."What about you? You’re changing too." Gia point
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #181 My Other World
"Take good care of her!""No need to tell me!" Raven snapped upon hearing Matteo's message.As they left the prison, Matteo expressed his desire to return to Italy again. He had urgent matters to attend to.Seeing no way to stop him, Gia finally gave up, trying to persuade him to stay. Raven kindly lent one of his planes to Matteo to take him to Italy.“Send my regards to Aria and Vero,” Gia said.Matteo nodded, briefly hugged Gia, and gently touched her face. “Take good care of yourself. Come visit as soon as you finish your business here.”“Sure,” Gia nodded confidently. Matteo then walked up the plane’s stairs, waved his hand, and the door closed behind him.“We need to take off soon, too,” Raven said, leading Gia toward another plane Jasper had prepared.But just as they were about to step forward, Raven’s phone vibrated. “What now?" Raven asked, answering the call with an annoyed expression.“What for? Isn’t it clear that I..."Raven paused momentarily, listening to what was undo

Yesterday, the political world of Sweden was shaken when Prime Minister Ronald Errikson suddenly resigned from his position. He cited health reasons, but three people in the car knew the reason.Gia was sure Caius knew since she had shared everything in that room with Jasper.“I hope Queen Silvia lets him go,” Gia muttered, shivering as she recalled Caius’s mother’s threats.“Don’t worry. My mother loves making threats, but considering her calculated moves so far, I think she’ll forgive him,” Caius replied confidently.Gia felt a bit sorry for Robert, who had also been manipulated by Willow. Yet, remembering what the two of them had done made Gia feel nauseous.“I met your brother. You two look alike,” Gia said, steering the conversation to a lighter topic.“I’m better looking, of course,” Caius smirked, refusing to back down.“Yeah… sure,” Gia conceded half-heartedly as Matteo snorted in disgust.That was all they said about Daniel. Gia fell silent, unable to comment further. She did
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #179 The Fall
Gia stared at the building in wonder, then turned to Matteo, who was frowning as he tried to park the car neatly.The remaining parking space was narrow, requiring full concentration to fit their car in without grazing the vehicles on either side.“Are you sure we’re in the right place? We’re supposed to pick Raven up from prison. Why did you bring me here?" Gia protested as Matteo turned off the engine.“That building is Tabellen 4 Sollentuna, the highest-security prison in Stockholm,” Matteo explained.“Are you sure you didn’t mix up the address?” Gia asked, still doubtful."No, Gia. You can read the nameplate over there.”Gia wanted to argue again, but when she read the nameplate, she froze.She realized the tall building was indeed a prison. However, since the exterior was entirely covered in glass, it didn’t look like a typical prison but resembled a modern office building. From this angle, the sunlight reflecting off its surface made Gia squint slightly, even though it wasn’t ho
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #178 Almost Done
Matteo uttered the keyword “materialistic” and sparked an idea in Gia’s mind.King Gustaf greatly valued money if it served the nation’s interests. Taxes were the answer—essential to the country’s finances, with the funds allocated for the people’s welfare. He would never willingly lose that much money in an instant.Lindgren Corp likely contributed at least ten to fifteen per cent of the nation’s tax revenue. This is a small percentage, but in monetary terms, it was immense. The sum was roughly equivalent to the nation’s needs for two months. Losing it would disrupt the economy.Gia regretted not realizing this sooner, but it seemed Matteo had prepared it as a final negotiation card if all else failed. Still, she felt proud of herself for quickly deciphering Matteo’s brief hint.Once again, laughter erupted behind Gia. “I like your style, Gia. I really do…” Queen Silvia clapped in delight. She enjoyed the drama Gia brought and seemed thoroughly satisfied. “Someday, I’ll invite you
MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #177 The Business
CRASH!As Queen Silvia finished her sentence, an ashtray flew through the air and slammed into the wall behind Ronald. King Gustaf had thrown it. He snatched the ashtray from the table and hurled it with all his strength in Ronald’s direction.His fury had reached its boiling point. Anyone could understand the implication behind Queen Silvia’s words about “spreading legs.” Imagining Willow doing such a thing with Ronald was enough to make Queen Silvia’s disgust apparent.Especially for King Gustaf. Though he found it hard to believe his wife’s words, Ronald’s increasingly bowed head confirmed the truth.Gia covered her mouth, trying to stifle her gasp. She hadn’t expected Willow to stoop so low to achieve her plans. Matteo, however, seemed utterly unbothered, the only one in the room unimpressed by the unfolding drama. He’d witnessed far more shocking events in the past.“I knew that girl was disgusting! But you are even more repulsive for accepting her. She’s the same age as your dau
