The next morning, Annie originally planned to make a cake for Finn as an excuse to approach him and apologize. However, to her surprise, Finn had already left early.

Hearing this from Keelin, she was momentarily stunned.

"Why would he go to the company? Finn never goes to the company, does he?"

Ever since Annie had known Finn, she had never once heard of him setting foot in the company. If there was business to discuss, his assistant would usually come to his house, or they would handle everything over the phone.

There had never been an exception.

That was why the news of Finn going to the company left her somewhat shocked.

"That's right. He even said he'd be there all day and have dinner with his assistant in the evening. He won't be coming back."

Keelin finished speaking and, noticing Annie still lost in thought, asked with concern, "Is something wrong, Sofia? Do you want me to pass a message to Finn?"

Annie snapped out of her daze, shaking off the lingering thoughts clouding her mi

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 43: The genius CEO of Company X will step into the public eye

    Thinking that way, Annie still couldn't stop the ache tightening in her chest. After all, she had once trusted Finn so much.She stepped into the house, looking utterly dazed, her feet carrying her aimlessly into the kitchen. She was so lost in thought that even Keelin grew concerned upon seeing her.“What is going on, Sofia? Weren’t you supposed to bring Finn his dinner at the office?”“Why did you come back looking like this?”Annie let out a small "oh" in realization, placing the lunchbox on the table before replying.“Oh, when I got there, Finn wasn’t at the company. He was probably out having dinner with his secretary.”“Help me clean up, will you? And don’t mention this to Finn—he might overthink things.”Seeing Keelin nod in agreement, Annie finally calmed herself and went upstairs. But once she reached her room, she couldn’t suppress the trembling in her heart. She slid down against the wall, collapsing onto the floor.For Annie, it was a nearly sleepless night.The next morni

    No matter what they thought, Finn remained composed on stage, a confident smile gracing his lips. He glanced down at the audience before speaking in a deep, steady voice."Hi, as you all know, I'm Finn. I'm the CEO of Company X, the financial firm that's been mentioned recently."He smiled nonchalantly."In the past, due to certain inconveniences, I couldn't reveal myself to the media. But today, I'm holding this press conference as a formal introduction."He continued speaking, his words smooth and deliberate, occasionally feigning distraction as he observed Ryan and Hubert's reactions. As expected, their expressions shifted from disbelief to shock, then to unease and guilt.It was obvious they had finally realized who was behind the string of troubles their company had been facing.Finn savored their expressions, then calmly concluded his speech and stepped down from the stage.There was no doubt that by the end of the day, the media would be in an uproar. He could already imagine t

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 45: Goodbye, Finn

    When Annie returned home, the house was steeped in emptiness. It had been unoccupied for a long time, leaving no trace of warmth-only a lingering sense of desolation.She refused to give herself too much time to grieve. After all, there were still many things that needed to be done, and she had no luxury of dwelling in sorrow for too long.With quiet efficiency, she tidied up the house, restoring a sense of order to the space. Then, after a refreshing shower, she prepared two portions of dinner-one for herself and one for Isolde.The night was still young. Carrying the meal with her, Annie goes to the hospital to visit Isolde. She needed to talk to her mother about what was to come.When she arrived, she found Isolde sitting on the hospital bed, staring into space, lost in thought.Since Joyce had been discharged, no new patients had been moved into the room, leaving Isolde alone. There was an air of solitude around her."Mom, I'm here," Annie said gently.Isolde turned her head at t

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 46: But she feels… strangely familiar

    When Sofia entered the room, she realized that Annie and Finn were still sleeping in separate rooms. Infuriated, she stomped her foot in frustration once again."What an idiot. You can't even manage to sleep in the same room as Finn."Noticing that Finn wasn't in a good state today, she decided not to provoke him any further and returned to her room. Seeing Annie's belongings still scattered around, Sofia curled her lips in disdain. Without hesitation, she gathered everything and stuffed them into large bags. Only then did she feel somewhat appeased.Without delay, she dialed Annie's number, her voice seething with irritation."Hey, why are you and Finn still sleeping in separate rooms? Are you stupid?""If you're already living with Finn, why aren't you taking the chance to get closer to him?""What am I supposed to do now?"Annie wasn't particularly surprised by Sofia's outburst-after all, this was just the way she was. Keeping her composure, she patiently guided Sofia on how to soo

    Time passed quickly.At last, the day had come for Annie to leave this country and depart for Country A.She and Isolde stood at the airport, their suitcases in hand, each weighed down by their own emotions. No matter what lay ahead, the road awaiting them would not be an easy one."Annie, do you have any regrets? Are you sure you haven't forgotten anything?"Seated in the waiting area, Isolde gently held Annie's hand, her voice tinged with concern as she noticed the absent look on Annie's face. Annie blinked in surprise before shaking her head.No, she hadn't forgotten anything.But regrets? Yes, she had plenty.She hadn't had the chance to see Finn one last time, nor had she been able to bid him farewell.Annie's gaze drifted toward the bustling crowd moving endlessly around them. With a quiet sigh, she rose to her feet, gripping her suitcase tightly as she turned to Isolde."We should go, Mom. It's time."Lowering her eyes to the ground, she tightened her hold on the handle, exhali

    Seeing the impatience flicker across Annie’s face, Isolde, standing beside her, asked in confusion,"Is something wrong, Annie? You don’t look pleased."Not wanting to dampen Isolde’s mood, Annie forced a smile."It’s nothing, Mom. Just Sofia calling—furious over something trivial again. You know how she is—always losing her temper over the smallest things."At the mention of Sofia, a fleeting sadness crossed Isolde’s eyes."I’m sorry, Annie. Perhaps I spoiled her too much when she was little, and that’s why she grew up so arrogant and selfish."Seeing Isolde blame herself, Annie gently took her hand."It’s not your fault, Mom. That’s just who Sofia is. Let’s not waste our thoughts on her anymore.""Come on, let’s head to the hotel I booked. It’s a great place—I’m sure you’ll love it.""And after that, how about we go try the local specialties? Consider it a little celebration for our fresh start."—That afternoon,Finn and Mike were inspecting a nearby shopping center. Following the

    At the same time,At a renowned charity gala, Finn and Sofia were just about to leave when a swarm of reporters suddenly surrounded them. Countless microphones were thrust in their direction as if everything had been meticulously arranged in advance. While Finn was still caught off guard, smiling in confusion, the corners of Sofia's lips curled into a faint smirk."Finn, Sofia, do you have any plans for marriage shortly?""We've heard that Sofia stayed by Finn's side, caring for him without fail when he was blind. When will the two of you tie the knot?""That's right! When will we have the honor of reporting on your wedding?"Suppressing her excitement, Sofia blinked and turned slightly toward Finn. Finn, of course, was utterly taken aback by the sudden turn of events. Just as he was about to respond, Sofia swiftly cut in."Thank you all for your concern for Finn and me," she said sweetly.Feigning shyness, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her delicate face turning a lovely

    Sofia did not return home that entire night. At the same time, Finn was working overtime at the company.In the middle of the night, Max stepped into the office, lowered his head slightly, and spoke calmly."Your stepbrother, Hubert, said he had tried to contact you multiple times, but since you didn't respond, he came directly to the company to see you. He said that if we refused to let him in, he would wait outside until you finished work.""But don't worry," Max continued evenly. "I stood firm and didn't allow him inside. He had no choice but to wait out there.""The night is cold and dark, so after standing outside for about an hour, he couldn't endure it any longer."Max recounted the events with an air of indifference."But before he left, he was furious. He shouted that he would make you regret this. That he would ensure the one you love most would abandon you as well."Finn listened, already having an idea of what Hubert intended to do. But he couldn't be bothered to care."

  • The Blind Billionaire's Fake Fiancée   Chapter 68: Try again in your next life

    Hubert put on a sycophantic smile, carefully laying out his plan to Sofia."What do you think about becoming my fiancée after Finn fails this project? Although we don't have real feelings for each other, we can always build them over time."He gazed at Sofia, trying to appear deep and affectionate."Not to mention, I'd love to see Finn crumble under everyone's scrutiny. Losing such a crucial project and his fiancée simultaneously-now that would be a devastating blow."Hubert reveled in the thought, his eyes gleaming with satisfaction. His excitement grew, his voice rising unconsciously-completely oblivious to Sofia's expression, which had turned from indifferent to outright disgusted.She regarded Hubert with unveiled contempt."If that's your plan, then forget it. I have no interest in playing a fake couple with you."At the very least, Finn was handsome and wealthy-pretending to be his fiancée would at least have some prestige to it. But Hubert? He had absolutely nothing going for h

    After Sofia entered Finn's office, Max frowned in confusion and asked him,"Boss, why are you indulging Sofia like this? Letting her into your office-what if she causes trouble?"His brows furrowed as he clenched his fists, looking as if he was ready to march in and drag Sofia out himself.But Finn remained calm. He took a leisurely sip of his tea, his voice unhurried."So what? I want to see exactly what she's up to.""Instead of constantly worrying about Sofia and Hubert's schemes, why not give them the chance to act? That way, we can figure out a countermeasure more quickly."Only then did Max finally grasp Finn's intentions. He let out an "Oh" of realization, impressed by his boss's foresight. Finn merely smiled, offering no further explanation.His gaze, however, remained fixed on the surveillance feed displaying Sofia's figure in his office.Sofia didn't make any immediate moves. Instead, she strolled around the room, casually taking in the arrangement of the furniture-playing t

    In the office, Finn was staring intently at his computer screen, barely blinking, completely absorbed in the upcoming project. Max knocked politely before stepping in, as always carrying a thick stack of documents in his hands."Boss, I think we need to talk right away."Finn lazily tore his gaze from the screen, took a sip of coffee, and then looked up at Max."What is it? Is something important?"Max studied Finn as if searching for the right words. After a brief pause, he let out a sigh."I don't know if Sofia has gone through some kind of shock recently or has an agenda, but she's been coming here every single day-just like before.""Every day, she shows up flawlessly made up, playing the role of a devoted fiancée, bringing you lunch. She even subtly probes me about the company's current business situation."Back when Sofia had finally stopped showing up, the one who felt the greatest relief was none other than Max. After all, every time she appeared, Finn would leave him to handl

    "Is this all it takes to break you?""A little trick, and you're already trembling?" Calliope's lips curled in mockery. "And here I thought you were so strong, Sofia. Wasn't that why you dared to go against me?"She pushed herself up from the table, her eyes raking Sofia from head to toe with unveiled disdain."Such pitiful strength, yet you thought you could challenge me? You truly don't know your place."Sofia clenched her teeth, seething with rage, but words failed her.She had been too arrogant. Too confident.She had believed Calliope couldn't touch her. That she was untouchable.All because she had Finn's money to fall back on.She had taunted Calliope, provoked her, thinking she could get away with it.Calliope watched as realization flickered across Sofia's face-the color draining, the weight of her mistake settling in.With slow, deliberate steps, she closed the distance between them, smiling coldly."So? Have you come to your senses, darling?""Do you still want to defy me?

    Finn's business trip ended in a haze of uncertainty. However, he began to suspect that his longing for Annie had conjured illusions in his mind.Everywhere he went, he imagined he would see her.Even after returning to his country, Finn remained lost in a fog of confusion, unable to understand what had been happening to him lately. But there was little time for reflection. The moment he arrived back home, he was swept into the relentless rhythm of work, often staying late into the night to handle the company's most critical projects....Meanwhile, Sofia's life was in complete turmoil. Ever since she had openly severed ties with Calliope and ceased playing the role of a sycophant, she had become invisible in the household. The very servants who once flattered her now treated her with indifference, their warmth long gone.Worse yet, when she issued commands, they deliberately ignored her.She had lashed out at them more than once, but deep down, she knew-this was all Calliope's doing.

    After returning, Finn remained dazed. A strange sense of emptiness lingered in his chest as if he had missed something profoundly important.The graceful silhouette of the girl he had encountered near the coffee shop refused to fade from his thoughts, haunting him like a half-remembered dream. Even when he finally arrived back at his hotel room, his mind was still adrift. His unusual demeanor did not go unnoticed-Max, who had been walking beside him, frowned in concern."Boss, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to the hospital for a check-up?" Max asked, his gaze fixed on Finn's slightly pale face.Finn shook his head and pressed a hand lightly against his forehead. Then, without another word, he pushed open the door and stepped inside."I'm fine. Probably just a little tired. I'll be fine after some rest," he said nonchalantly. "You should get some rest too."Max let out an understanding hum. He didn't forget to remind Finn to call him if anything happened-his room w

    Max flattered him with words, but Finn remained indifferent, showing little emotion.After dinner, the two strolled toward a nearby shopping mall. The place was vast, and just as Max had described, it housed numerous renowned handbag brands.It was clear that Max had done his research. At every boutique they visited, he meticulously examined the designs, carefully considering his choices. And, of course, whenever he found a piece he fancied, he would turn to Finn for an opinion before making a decision.Finn, on the other hand, lacked Max's enthusiasm. He merely observed the stores with a detached gaze, occasionally offering a few suggestions regarding Max's selections.In the end, after what felt like an eternity of browsing, Max emerged carrying an assortment of shopping bags from various luxury brands. Finn estimated that his friend had likely spent the equivalent of at least a month's salary on handbags for his girlfriend.Yet, Max showed no hint of regret. On the contrary, he see

    At Finn's company,Max knocked on the door and stepped inside, speaking to Finn in a composed manner."Mike just arrived. He said he has something important to discuss with you. I've already invited him to wait in the lounge. Would you like to see him now?"He spoke in a steady stream, finally prompting Finn to lift his head and glance at him. His voice was calm yet distant."Is that so? Then I'll meet him now."Max nodded. Watching Finn rise from his chair, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly added,"Boss, I almost forgot to remind you.""Don't forget that the day after tomorrow, you'll be leaving for a business trip to City A. I'll send you the final itinerary later today.""I'll also be accompanying you on this trip. Everything has already been arranged."Recently, Finn's company entered into a new partnership with an automobile firm in Country A. Being meticulous by nature and having never collaborated with this company before, Finn decided to make the trip himself to f

    In the days that followed, Sofia underwent a drastic transformation. Previously, she had been somewhat submissive to Calliope, constantly flattering her in hopes of receiving some spending money.But after receiving a billion dollars from Finn, Sofia no longer had any interest in the meager sums Calliope used to give her. At home, she openly defied Calliope at every turn.During dinner,"Sofia, why haven't you been in touch with Finn lately? And why has he stopped investing in our company?""Haven't I told you countless times that you must do whatever it takes to win Finn over? Are you even listening to a word I say?"Calliope slammed her plate onto the table in fury, making both Sofia and Galvin flinch.But Sofia quickly regained her composure. She let out a derisive laugh."What kind of charm do you think I have to make Finn obey my every word? The fact that he's still keeping me as his fiancée is already a huge courtesy-don't be too greedy."Her indifference sent Calliope into a ra
