Raven stopped mid-sentence, struggling to find the right words to describe Gia's condition. But he had no better word for it than "miserable." With limited options, Raven finally sat down, adjusting his position to make Gia more comfortable. It took about five minutes before Gia’s tears finally subsided.
"I’m going to take off the tape on your mouth so you can breathe a little easier. And I’ll also untie your hands. But for your eyes, I can’t. The tape is too close to your hair and lashes. I’m not sure I can remove it without hurting you, especially your eyes," Raven said softly as Gia’s sobs quieted.
Gia felt Raven’s hand gently touching her face, wiping away the tears that had seeped out near her nose.
"Are you ready?" Raven prepared to remove the tape from her mouth. Gia nodded.
"Sorry..." Raven pulled the tape off with a quick motion to minimize the pain, but Gia

MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #44 I've Seen Everything
Gia pressed her lips together as her mouth felt so dry.“Ehhmm…” Gia cleared her throat, trying to produce saliva to ease the dryness.“Haze? Are you awake?”Gia sat up abruptly, making her head spin. She looked around in search of the voice’s source and saw the man who had turned her life upside down for months now.He looked perfect, as always. He stood tall, handsomely dressed in a black shirt and blue trousers, his eyes shielded by clearly expensive sunglasses. Gia noticed his jacket, which he might have worn earlier, lying on the sofa.She covered her face with her hands, trying to calm her racing heart, and the blood suddenly rushed warm through her body. Once again, Gia marveled at how Raven’s mere presence could make her so happy.He was Gia’s greatest weakness. Despite Gia's limited experience with love, Raven clearly eclipsed all her past encounters.“One moment... I hav

Gia's brain froze instantly. The realization that she'd just changed clothes in front of Raven didn’t settle easily in her mind.“You… You… But you…” Gia stammered, unable to process her embarrassment.“Yes. I can see, and I just saw you changing clothes. Twice, actually,” Raven repeated, holding up two fingers to emphasize.“You were still wearing sunglasses!” Gia exclaimed, pointing at Raven. The glasses made her think he was still blind.“Oh?” Raven took off his sunglasses and placed them on the table. His sharp black eyes now looked directly at her, not with the empty gaze of before. He could truly see her.“The doctor advised me to wear them often. In daylight, too much light strains my eyes and gives me headaches,” Raven added patiently.“WHY DIDN’T YOU SAY ANYTHING?” Gia shrieked, flinging herself onto the sofa and burying her face

The sudden downpour pounding against the window perfectly captured Gia’s unsettled mood. She didn’t know how to react to Raven’s statement.Then came the surprise, as Raven appeared calm. Gia had imagined Raven would at least be angry and lash out. Beyond that, she was curious—she wanted to know why Raven didn’t see this as a big deal, why he hadn’t brought it up at all before she asked.But above all, Gia felt relieved. She was relieved that she no longer needed to deceive Raven. The invisible weight that had been dragging on her heart for months vanished the moment she heard Raven’s words.Gia took a deep breath, steeling herself to accept the consequences of her deceit. She sat silently, clutching the edge of her skirt, awaiting Raven’s reaction. But as the minutes passed, neither spoke; both sat quietly, lost in thought.Gia glanced sideways, seeing Raven in his usual pose, head resting on his hand. Unab

"Rave? Answer me!" Gia demanded firmly.Raven exhaled deeply before finally replying. "They kidnapped you because they thought you were my wife," he murmured softly."WHAT?! What idiot would believe that I'm your wife?"Gia finally understood why the man in the hat had mentioned “not his type,” and the slick-faced one had said “his wife.” They doubted Gia's status as Raven's wife due to her stark differences from Raven's previous girlfriends."Well... someone believed the lie I told in Katastari and went looking for you." Raven looked down, clutching his phone."So you mean, they kidnapped me to get something from you?" Gia deduced.Raven nodded."Who ordered them to kidnap me?""The same person who once tried to kill me in the hospital.""That’s not an answer, Rave! I want a name!"Raven shook his head. "No! I can answer all your questions, but not that one. You’re better off n

"But... why? I have to work! What does "maybe a year" mean? I can’t just up and leave my life like that!" Of course, Gia couldn't accept it that way.Raven snorted dismissively. "Leave your life? Your life revolves around your apartment and the hospital! You call that a life? Pfft! Even my cat has a more exciting life than you do!" Raven mocked."You don't have a cat!" Gia snapped."I do. He's in Sweden. Want to see him?""NO! Come on, Rave, be serious for once. I... can't... just... leave... my... job... like that."Gia was furious that Raven was only responding casually to all her objections."Haze, you can't stay in London right now. The person who came after me is still alive and well. And now he knows for sure that you have a connection to me. Do you think he'll stop hunting you down after this? The first chance he gets, he’ll try to hurt you again, just to get me to comply with him."Gia fell silent immediately.

Gia buried herself completely under the blanket. But the damp, musty smell from the bed kept reminding her that her room wasn't much different from the front room.She had been lying there for about two hours, feeling only anxiety and fear. There was no drowsiness or fatigue.Gia now officially hates storms in general. If the snowstorms in Gothenburg were enough to keep her awake, the howling storm outside was even worse.The house's poor state amplified the sound. Wind seeped in through the gaps in the ventilation holes—which seemed untouched for decades—creating a roaring, hissing echo throughout her room. Gia was almost in tears after hearing the eerie howling for over two hours. She desperately wanted to go back to Raven's brightly lit room.Gia didn’t care about her pride anymore, but knowing that Raven's room was quite far and she’d have to cross what felt like a haunted house, she hesitated. She might die of fright on

Gia woke up quickly, sitting up straight without her usual sluggishness. She hoped Raven hadn't seen her messy sleeping face, but the space beside her was already empty. Raven was up.Gia didn't see the rumpled sheets and bed cover. Raven had indeed slept there, even if Gia hadn’t seen it. Following the events on the sofa, Gia slept restlessly. She didn’t know when Raven had fallen asleep.Gia hugged her knees and buried her face there, thinking about how strange her life had become these past few months. Nothing had gone according to plan. She only wanted an ordinary life—an ordinary job. Perhaps she would fall in love with an ordinary man, and if their fates aligned, she would marry him—a straightforward, everyday aspiration.Falling for someone else’s fiancé wasn’t normal. It was closer to foolish. But there was no turning back. Her heart resolutely wanted Raven.“Should I try flirting with him?” G

"I still feel like this is over the top," Gia said as she sat beside Raven."Seatbelt," Raven reminded her."Oh... forgot." Gia pulled the seatbelt from behind her back and fastened it."Whether overdone or not, you should be grateful to go out instead of complaining." Raven started the convertible, pulling it out of the old neighborhood.Gia glanced back, and as she expected, the house looked like a castle, even from the outside.She was sure she’d find a French noble’s name if she researched the previous owners before Raven.It no longer surprised Gia that they were now in rural France. Gia no longer found Raven's ability to relocate at any time to be astounding. They were in Eze, a small village in the southwest of France, facing the Mediterranean Sea. The creepy old castle gained some charm from being in such a beautiful area."It’s not that I’m ungrateful, but isn’t this excessive? You expect u

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

"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
