LOVE lS BLIND Chapter 1 ARRANGED MARRIAGE

Chapter One

Arranged Marriage

Jane sat at the dinner table, picking at her food as her parents exchanged meaningful glances. She could tell that something was up, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Jane, honey," her mother started, "we have something important to discuss with you."

Jane looked up, her curiosity piqued. "What is it, Mom?"

Her father cleared his throat and took a deep breath.

We have found a suitable match for you, someone who comes from a respectable family and has a promising future ahead of him."

"We've been in touch with Alex's parents, and they've expressed their desire for you two to get married as soon as possible."

Jane's heart sank. She had always hoped that she would at least have some say in the matter, but it seemed that her parents had already made up their minds.

Jane's mind raced as she processed the information. Alex was her childhood friend, and they had always been close. But she had never thought of him as anything more than a friend. Could she really spend the rest of her life with him ?

Jane's fork clattered to the table as her eyes widened in shock. "What?!" she exclaimed. "Married to Alex? But we're just friends!"

"Oh my God" Jane said

Her parents exchanged a knowing look before her mother spoke again. "We understand that, Jane. But this is a decision that we believe is best for both of your futures."

Jane felt her chest tighten as she struggled to process the information. She had known Alex since they were children, and they had always been close. But the idea of marrying him was something she had never even considered.

As her parents continued to talk about the benefits of the marriage and how it would be a good match for both families, Jane felt a sense of panic rising within her. She couldn't imagine spending the rest of her life with someone she didn't love.

Without a word, she pushed her chair back and bolted from the table, tears streaming down her face. She burst through the front door and ran blindly into the night, desperate to escape the suffocating pressure that was closing in on her.

As Jane ran through the streets, her mind was in turmoil. How could her parents expect her to agree to something so life-altering without even consulting her first?

And how could they assume that she would be willing to marry someone she had never thought of in that way?

She found herself at the park, collapsing onto a bench as she tried to catch her breath. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the deserted playground. It was a place she had always found solace in, but tonight, even the familiar surroundings couldn't ease the turmoil in her heart.

Suddenly, a voice broke through her thoughts. "Jane? Are you okay?"

She looked up to see Alex standing in front of her, concern etched on his face. Her tears started afresh as she realized that he must have followed her from her house.

"Alex," she choked out, "I can't do this. I can't marry you."

He sat down beside her, his eyes searching hers. "I know," he said softly. "I don't want this either."

They sat in silence for a few moments, the weight of their situation hanging heavy in the air. Then, Alex reached out and took her hand in his.

"I've always valued our friendship, Jane," he said earnestly. "And I would never want to jeopardize that by forcing you into something you don't want."

Jane felt a surge of gratitude towards him as she squeezed his hand tightly. "Thank you, Alex," she whispered. "I don't know what I would do without you."

They sat together in companionable silence for a while longer, finding comfort in each other's presence. And as the night wore on, Jane began to realize that perhaps there was a way out of this predicament after all.

Jane's parents were frantic with worry as they paced back and forth in the living room. "Where could she have gone? Why would she just run off like that?" Jane's mother fretted, wringing her hands.

"I don't know, but we need to find her," her father replied, his voice strained with concern. "I'll call security and have them search the entire property. She couldn't have gone far."

As her father made the call, Jane's mother clutched her phone tightly, her eyes scanning the windows for any sign of her daughter. "I can't believe this is happening. She knows she's not supposed to go off on her own like that," she murmured, her voice trembling with fear.

The security team arrived quickly and fanned out across the grounds, calling out Jane's name and searching every nook and cranny. But after what felt like an eternity, they returned with no sign of the missing girl.

Her parents' anxiety only grew as they realized their daughter was truly nowhere to be found. "What do we do now?" Jane's mother asked, her voice thick with emotion.

Her father took a deep breath, trying to stay calm for his wife's sake. "We'll call the police. We'll find her, no matter what it takes."

As the police arrived and began their search, Jane's parents frantically started making posters with her picture to distribute around the neighborhood. They also reached out to friends and family, asking them to keep an eye out for their daughter.

The hours passed with no sign of Jane, and her parents felt their hearts sinking with each passing moment. They couldn't help but imagine the worst-case scenarios, and it was taking a toll on their emotional well-being.

Despite their fear and worry, they tried to stay strong and hopeful, clinging to the belief that they would be reunited with Jane soon. They held onto each other for support, praying for her safe return.

Finally, just when they were beginning to lose hope, a neighbor called to say they had spotted Jane in a nearby park. With a mixture of relief and joy, Jane's parents rushed to the park and found her safe and sound.

Tears of relief streamed down their faces as they hugged their daughter tightly, grateful to have her back in their arms.

From that day on, they made sure to keep a closer eye on her, knowing just how precious and fragile their time together truly was.

They were so glad that Jane came back home.

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I married Clive Harrington, the coldest billionaire in Manhattan, under a strict contract that forbade any emotional burdens. When I needed a high-risk surgery to save my sight, I checked into the clinic alone, hiding the procedure from a husband who saw me as nothing more than a legal asset. I thought I could handle the darkness in silence. But while I was blind and bandaged in my hospital bed, my biological mother called, screaming that if I didn't produce a Harrington heir by the end of the fiscal year, she would cut off the life-saving treatments for my disabled sister. I was crawling on the cold hospital floor, desperately feeling for a cane I had dropped, when I touched a pair of expensive leather shoes. It was Clive. He was supposed to be in London closing a multi-million dollar deal, but there he was, watching his "contract wife" groveling in the dark like a beggar. He didn't walk away in disgust. He carried me to a five-thousand-dollar-a-night VIP suite and sat by my bed, listening in chilling silence as another voicemail from my mother filled the room, calling me a "useless broodmare" who was only worth the trust fund disbursements my marriage secured. I expected him to remind me of Clause 34B or hand me divorce papers now that I was "damaged goods." Instead, I felt his thumb brush a stray tear from my cheek, his presence shifting from a statue of ice into a predatory shield. "I thought I was just currency to you," I whispered, my voice trembling behind the gauze. "Just an investment." Clive didn't answer with words. He picked up his phone and called his head of legal with a single, terrifying command: "Kill the Douglas family’s credit lines. Every debt, every lien—trigger them all. If they want a war, I’ll give them a massacre." As he leaned down to kiss my bandaged forehead, I realized the contract was dead. My husband wasn't protecting an asset anymore; he was hunting the people who had dared to touch what belonged to him.
