#84 I'm Ruining It
Last Updated:
2024-12-24 07:00:29The darkness that blanketed the wedding venue did not diminish its beauty; instead, it added a serene and enchanting atmosphere.
Hundreds of vanilla-scented candles scattered in various corners, akin to the mysterious glow of fireflies, complemented the dim lights from the garden lampposts. Gia silently marveled at the preparation of all this in just one day.
The table where they dined was equally stunning. They meticulously arranged the plates and glasses to match the color theme of the decor. They served warm and delicious food.
"Don’t you want to give a toast? Even though there are only five of us, we’re still your guests!"
Caz nudged Raven, who sat beside him. Max was nowhere to be seen. After offering his congratulations, Max disappeared again to attend

Gia couldn't quite recall how they arrived at their destination. She had fallen asleep comfortably.A few minutes after they took off, Raven helped her remove her veil and tiara, replacing them with headphones to block out the noise of the engine and propellers.After that, Gia began to feel drowsy. She had barely slept the night before, and in the morning, she had been busy preparing for the wedding. Once everything had passed, the peaceful atmosphere of the journey lulled her to sleep.Raven seemed still a little annoyed by the prenup issue and didn’t engage in much conversation.Gia could feel movement as Raven lifted her body, but she was too lazy to open her eyes. She just draped her arm over Raven’s neck and continued sleeping.

Raven carried out the plan wholeheartedly. He didn’t do anything to Gia except tease her—teasing that drove her to the brink of madness. Raven would touch, caress, and trail his fingers over her skin whenever her guard was down.Earlier that afternoon, while Gia was trying to take pictures of the beautiful scenery outside with her camera, Raven suddenly brushed his hand along her neck from behind, threading his fingers through her hair. At the same time, his lips traced her jawline and the base of her neck.His lips sealed that sweet temptation with a kiss on her neck, one that would undoubtedly leave a mark. Gia’s legs turned weak, and she almost collapsed from the sensation. But, as always, Raven stopped just as Gia began to lose herself.Gia nearly dropped a plate into the sink when Raven’

Gia felt movement on the bed where she lay but was too lazy to open her eyes. She merely grunted when she felt a kiss on her cheek.“Haze, I’ll call the doctor if you don’t wake up. You’ve been sleeping too long,” whispered Raven, hugging Gia from behind and peppering her cheeks and neck with light kisses.Gia opened her eyes and saw blue waters and a misty morning atmosphere. “It’s still morning…” she protested. The sun wasn’t even high yet.“Haze… it’s the next morning. You’ve been asleep for twenty-four hours,” Raven said, amused.“Oh wow!” Gia’s eyes widened instantly. Her ability to sleep for such a prolonged duration startled her once again.

"How could he know?! Goddamn it!!"Gia jumped at the sound of Raven cursing at the top of his lungs. It was their fifth day in Lofoten, and during all that time, this was the first time he’d cursed.Placing her camera on the table, Gia walked inside. She was satisfied with the pictures she’d taken for the day. Lofoten’s breathtaking scenery offered countless subjects for her lens. But at the moment, Raven’s outburst was far more intriguing.Raven was still on the phone with Jasper, standing with a sharp glint in his eyes. Gia was sure it was Jasper he was talking to—Raven wouldn’t take calls from anyone else."I can’t take Gia..."Raven abruptly stopped mid-sentence, realizing Gia had entered the room. Eve

“You don’t have to force yourself, Haze. Nobody cares what fork you use to eat your salad!” Raven said firmly, hearing Gia’s sigh of frustration.“No! I have to get this right,” Gia replied determinedly.She furrowed her brows in concentration, earning a smile from Sophie.“I agree with Mrs... Gia," Sophie hesitated. She had intended to address Gia as Mrs. Lindgren, but a deadly glare from Gia stopped her. Gia had made it very clear that Sophie was not to change how she addressed her.Gia wanted their relationship to stay the same. Even though it was technically correct, she felt too awkward being called Mrs. Lindgren.“Gia needs to learn table manners. At least the basics,&rdqu
Last Updated : 2024-12-27MY LOVE IS NOT BLIND #90 The Bithday Party
The journey to the party venue turned out to be far more challenging than Gia had anticipated. She had underestimated the distance between Geirangerfjord and Oslo, which spanned over five hundred kilometers. They had to take a plane to get there.Considering their goal was simply to attend a birthday party, it seemed excessive. But the plane was necessary to shorten the travel time.About an hour and a half later, they finally landed in Oslo. Jasper was already there, waiting for a car to take them to the party.Seeing Jasper’s slick appearance, Gia suspected he would attend the party too. She felt relieved—at least there would be two familiar faces at the party, not just Raven.The three of them sat in the back of the limousine. For some reason, Gia didn&rsq

“Straighten your back, don’t slouch. Once you bow down, you lose.”Automatically, Gia straightened her back and neck, even though her posture wasn’t bad initially. As a physical therapist, she knew how to position her back correctly.Raven hissed that final piece of advice from the corner of his mouth while flashing a smile at the host.Jasper adjusted his already elegant tie unnecessarily. Max, who had been trailing behind them earlier, was nowhere to be seen. It seemed Raven’s command to enter hadn’t meant entering the party venue itself.“Count Lindgren! Velkommen, jeg er veldig glad for at du kan delta.”(Welcome, I’m glad you could join us.)Haakon Magnus, the prince, w

Haakon and Mette opened the party with a speech of gratitude, mentioning several names specifically to pay their respects, including Raven and Edvin.Finally, they called the birthday boy to the front. Svvere Magnus slowly descended, accompanied by a servant. He had inherited Mette’s pale blonde hair, but his face was a replica of Haakon’s—slightly flat chin, high nose, and wide, friendly eyes.Those eyes squinted when he saw the crowd of guests below. Fear and shyness overcame him. He looked like he wanted to turn back, but noticing this, Mette quickly approached and coaxed her son forward.As Mette stroked Svvere’s head, briefly brushing aside his hair, Gia’s heart clenched. She caught sight of a hearing aid attached to his ear. The handsome little boy, it turned out, had a hearing im

"Yes. Just a few days ago,” Gia answered smoothly, without hesitation. Quite convincing.“And you?” Martha pointed at Matteo. “What happened to Dion?”Gia didn’t know who Dion was, but based on the context, he seemed to be Haakon’s usual bodyguard.“He’s sick. Resting,” Matteo answered coldly and briefly.The sunglasses hid almost all of his facial expressions. The other bodyguard glanced at Matteo. He surely knew it was a lie, but he didn’t interfere.“Really? I didn’t know he was sick. He seemed fine yesterday,” Martha said, looking surprised. She trusted Matteo but was puzzled by the sudden illness.“A severe flu,” Matteo added to clear Martha’s remaining doubts.“What about Natalie?”After hearing Matteo’s reasonable explanation, she turned back to Gia. This time, Gia knew that Natalie was the name of Mette’s usual assistant.“She had a sudden family emergency. They couldn’t be left alone. She left unexpectedly yesterday.”Gia inwardly groaned as she realized she had unintentional

Svvere laughed as he listened to Gia’s criticism.“It’s not pleasant at all. I hate it too,” Svvere said.“Does it have to be like this every year?” Gia questioned the gloomy tradition, secretly wishing Svvere didn’t have to go through it annually. It would be too sad if he did.Svvere nodded with exaggerated enthusiasm. “It’s annoying, isn’t it? But thankfully, Mamma replaced it with another party.”“What do you mean?”“When the formal party ends, Mamma hosts a second birthday party the next day. It’s more relaxed, with just cousins and a few close relatives attending.”“That’s wonderful!”Svvere nodded and smiled, knowing the additional party was meant to cheer him up. No wonder he grew up to be such a cheerful young man despite enduring such odd traditions. Mette had ensured that Svvere’s childhood was as normal as possible.Gia’s admiration for Mette grew a little more. At first, she had judged the family for holding such a stiff and formal birthday party.But while they adhered t

Gia hugged Al one more time before handing him over to Marlow. Sophie and Marlow would take care of them. Eventually, Marlow was summoned back to Geirangerfjord, leaving Sophie unable to handle them alone.Fortunately, Al and Frey no longer relied heavily on breast milk since they ate complementary foods. The frozen breast milk supply was also enough to last for a week.Frey immediately reached out his hand as soon as Gia freed hers. He always felt jealous whenever his older brother received more attention, whether from Gia or Raven.Sensing Gia’s unease, the little girl nestled her head against Gia’s neck and wrapped her arms around it in silence, offering comfort and reassurance.“I’ll be back soon, sweetheart. Wait a little longer. I’ll bring Daddy home,” Gia whispered.Frey missed Raven the most. He often cried and became fussy at night, his only way to express how much he missed his father. Gia understood the meaning behind those cries, which made her feel even more devastated.W

“I think this works,” Sophie said, pulling out two suits—one in blue and the other in black. "Go ahead, try them on."Gia nodded obediently and took the two suits into the fitting room. She complied because she understood the necessity of it all. After checking herself in the mirror twice, Gia finally nodded. The suits Sophie had chosen fit her petite frame perfectly."How is it?" Sophie asked."I think they’re fine," Gia replied."Great! Now all we need is to find a party dress.” With quick movements, Sophie handed the two formal suits to the sales assistant for processing."Add these too," Sophie said, pointing to two more outfits she had picked earlier.Gia was already content with the first two suits, but Sophie thought two were far too few. There was no point in arguing with Sophie about the number of clothes. Gia had to comply, or things would drag on unnecessarily.After paying for the purchases, they moved to another boutique specializing in evening and cocktail dresses.Choos

While waiting for Haakon, they enjoyed lunch. Al and Frey needed extra attention during the meal. Mette happily took over Sophie’s role and helped feed Frey. Matteo, on the other hand, wasn’t exceptionally skilled at this.It was clear that Svvere adored Freya. As he sat beside his mother, watching her feed Frey, his eyes never left her. Several times, Gia noticed him gently stroking Frey’s head with affection.Svvere even tried feeding Frey himself, though his hands were clumsy. When he succeeded, he clapped his hands like he had just won a prestigious competition. Frey’s laughter matched Svvere’s excitement, filling the room with joy.Seeing this warmed Gia’s heart a little. She truly hoped that Haakon would provide the answer she was longing for.“She doesn’t want to anymore. You don’t need to force her,” Gia explained, noticing Svvere’s sad expression when Frey refused to open her mouth again.“Is she full?” Svvere asked.“And she’ll probably feel sleepy soon,” Gia replied, explai

Mette’s residence was just as Gia remembered it, though perhaps a bit livelier now that flowers were beginning to bloom in the garden in front of the house. The last time she visited was during autumn when the garden looked much barer.“He’s the prince of Norway?” Matteo still seemed unable to believe that Gia could be close to someone of such stature. He had underestimated Lindgren’s influence before.Gia nodded. “Haakon, Mette’s husband, is the heir to the throne of Norway.”“Let’s see how this unfolds,” Matteo ended the discussion as the car stopped.Al clung tightly to Gia as they got out of the car. The boy always seemed uncomfortable in unfamiliar environments. On the other hand, Frey didn’t seem to care—especially since he was fast asleep in Matteo’s arms.The staff welcomed Gia the first time she visited. Today was special. She saw Mette standing at the main door; naturally, Svvere was with her.“Gia!” Svvere shouted, running toward her. The noise disturbed Frey, but Matteo ca

“It’s colder here,” Gia murmured. She had gotten used to Italy’s climate and forgotten that Norway was several degrees cooler.Italy’s spring temperature hovered below twenty degrees Celsius, but Norway was likely below fifteen. Gia was thankful she had dressed Al and Frey warmly enough.Jasper greeted them on the runway with Max. Their group was quite large, so he had prepared two cars. Besides Matteo, Gia brought Sophie along, as she was the only one who could help her manage the twins. Marlow had stayed behind in Italy and would only join them if necessary.“Geirangerfjord.”Gia pronounced their destination fluently as the car started moving, recalling how patiently Raven had taught her to say the name correctly.A wave of nostalgia hit Gia. Although she had left this country over a year ago, her memories of Norway remained vivid.She remembered how chaotic her emotions were when she first came here. Yet this country was also where she and Raven had gotten married, and it held a sp

Gia’s hands trembled as she listened to the dial tone. The long-distance call only played monotonously, indicating that Caius wasn’t answering.“Is he ignoring you?” Matteo asked.Gia wanted to say yes, but she trusted Caius more than that. So she called again.“Maybe he’s busy,” Gia said, trying to comfort herself while giving Matteo an excuse.The second call nearly crushed Gia’s hope. It, too, was nothing but an endless ringing tone without an answer. But just as the call was about to end, she finally heard a response.“Gia.”“Caz…”“I can’t help you.”Before Gia could even State," her request, Caius cut her off. He had already heard about Raven and guessed why Gia was calling.“I’m not asking for much. I just want to meet your father.”Caius let out a dry, bitter laugh at Gia’s request. “He won’t even meet me, Gia. How could I possibly get you an audience with him? He’s furious because I sided with Raven and didn’t take Willow’s side. I could’ve initially reported your marriage to

Gia honestly forgot about it. The warmth and happiness that had enveloped her these past few months made her unwilling to recall such unpleasant memories.Her mind effortlessly sorted out the fact that Raven was a fugitive and buried it deep in the back of her head. She refused to let that thought disrupt her happiness. But now, that very fact struck her, shattering the beautiful picture of her life at an unexpected moment. It destroyed the perfect world she had tried so hard to maintain.Gia crouched, crossing her arms over her chest, squeezing her arms and shoulders to keep herself conscious.She couldn’t allow herself to faint. Gia kept hurting her own body to stay awake. The pain from her tight grip was enough to hold on to the fragments of her sanity, preventing it from being consumed by panic and fear for the future.“Gia, what’s wrong?” Aria asked when she saw Gia’s phone fall to the floor. She got up and approached her, clueless about what was happening.“What’s wrong? Don’t d
