Three years ago, a fire gutted Gordon family, killing Lindsay's parents and leaving her blind. As the anniversary neared, she learned Kyra-the killer-had been spared, and that her supposedly loving husband Matthew had hidden her overseas, then slipped her back to live in their house as his "cousin." Grief hardened into rage. She went in secret to Anthony, Matthew's rival and an eye surgeon, who restored her sight and joined revenge. Matthew assumed a blind wife was harmless. Until Lindsay seized the CEO seat, exposed the past, and sent Kyra to justice. Afterward, however, Anthony wouldn't let go. "Don't use me and leave. I want your love."

The Blind Angel Turns Out To Be A Sweet Demoness Chapter 1 Her Eyes Will Never Heal

"Kyra will be back soon. From this moment on, don't use Kyra's name around Lindsay." Matthew Riley's voice carried from the study, low and smooth, but tinged with a rare, unmistakable joy.

Lindsay Gordon lingered in the hallway outside the study, rooted to the spot. Shadows danced across her wide, unseeing eyes, her body quivering with fear. Her fingertips dug into the wall hard. She could barely breathe, the shock keeping her frozen in place. Kyra Gordon, her adopted sister, was coming back? That couldn't be possible. Kyra was supposed to be gone forever.

Vernon Bennett's voice was barely a whisper in the tense silence. "Matthew, how long do you plan to deceive Lindsay? What happens if her sight ever returns and she sees Kyra, alive and unharmed? Every lie we've told-everything from three years ago-will explode in our faces."

Three years had already passed since Lindsay's near-fatal accident and the blaze that consumed the Gordon estate. Both tragedies had been quietly closed by the authorities. The news of Kyra's death sentence had been brought to Lindsay by Vernon himself, a capable lawyer.

Matthew's gaze turned ice cold, his posture radiating authority. "Lindsay's eyes will never heal. I made Kyra a promise when I sent her overseas three years ago-only three years apart, nothing more. For her sake, I have already married Lindsay. I'll make sure Lindsay never wants for anything. But she has no reason to expect anything beyond that."

A jolt of cold terror sent Lindsay fleeing, her hands groping along the walls as she stumbled back to her room, each step shaky and desperate.

Once inside her room, she lost her balance and crumpled at the side of her bed, drawing her knees close to her chest.

Alone in the pitch-black room, it felt like invisible claws were clawing through her, tearing her apart piece by piece.

Three years ago, everything had unraveled-Kyra's car had come barreling straight toward Lindsay, and shards of glass had carved through her eyes.

Lindsay still remembered Kyra, not satisfied with harming her deliberately, had dragged her bleeding body from the scene to the Gordon family home, where fire had already raged through every room. The memory had been painted in flames and chaos-her parents' and brother's frantic cries mixing with Kyra's wild laughter.

Kyra's words still echoed. "Lindsay, your damned folks took me in when I was little. They told me again and again that they would treat us all the same, but in reality, you got everything good while I got nothing. Even when Matthew and I truly loved each other, they forced Matthew and me apart just so you could marry him. I just decided to burn them all! Ha-ha!"

It had been so overwhelming that Lindsay had blacked out completely. Her next memory was waking up in a hospital bed, crushed and hollow.

Matthew, her fiancé at the time, had handled the funerals and all the aftermath for her. He had even insisted the wedding go on, linking the Gordon and Riley families forever.

For three years, Lindsay had clung to Matthew as if he were the last solid thing in her life. Only now did she realize she'd been trapped in a careful web of deceit.

"Linds, why are you on the floor?" Matthew stepped into the room and rushed straight to Lindsay, gently scooping her up and settling her on the bed.

His fingers brushed her cheek in a gentle sweep as he tucked her hair behind her ear. His voice carried that usual warmth, tender and comforting. "The next time you wake up, just press the bell. If I'm not here, Raelyn will come. Don't wander on your own. I don't want you to get hurt."

Everything about him-the scent of his cologne, the softness in his tone, the way he handled her-bore his signature tenderness. He had always treated her with meticulous care, tending to her needs before she even voiced them.

She now realized that what she had previously thought of as him spoiling her was actually how he wanted her-dependent and unable to contact anyone but him and his people. If she stayed wrapped in the world he built for her, she would never discover any of the lies beneath it. And their unconsummated marriage? It made sense now. Every bit of restraint had been for Kyra.

Lindsay clamped down on her lip until she tasted blood, the metallic tang spreading across her tongue. A scream clawed at her throat. She wanted to demand answers, to rip the truth out of him.

But she grasped that since Matthew had easily buried the truth three years ago, he would not hesitate to silence her now if she confronted him, especially for Kyra's sake. Besides, her brother was still in a hospital Matthew had arranged, trapped in a coma, his body ravaged by burns and unable to protect himself. His life would hang by a thread if she ever acted recklessly.

Lindsay refused to crumble or lose her cool-not now, not when everything depended on her to seek revenge. She forced her breathing steady, lifted her head, and shaped her lips into a small, sweet smile. "I had a nightmare during my nap and got scared, so I came to find you. I thought I heard Vernon."

Matthew's fingers tightened on her shoulder, the movement slight but unmistakable.

Lindsay kept her smile in place, pretending not to feel it. "He's your company's legal counsel, right? It must be something about work. You don't have to stay here with me. Go take care of whatever Vernon comes for."

She could feel his eyes raking over her face, searching for cracks. Her heartbeat thudded wildly against her ribs. She had dropped Vernon's name on purpose to gauge whether Matthew still believed she was blind to the truth.

His reply came a moment later. "There are some issues with a project. I might not make it back for dinner."

Lindsay nodded. "Alright, I'll wait for you to come home before I sleep."

Satisfied with her response, Matthew brushed a hand through her hair, leaned down, and pressed a soft kiss against her forehead before walking out.

Only after the sound of the engine faded down the driveway did Lindsay's composure collapse. Her entire body sagged, trembling as she sucked in shallow breaths. Hot, furious tears streamed silently down her cheeks.

After the tragedy that had shattered the Gordon family, Lindsay's world had shrunk to nothing. Her parents had perished in the flames, her brother had been trapped in a coma from the conflagration, and she had been left blind, haunted by nightmares and fear. For three years, she had drifted through life cut off from everyone and everything she once knew.

Every asset Lindsay's parents had built was now entirely under Matthew's management. Her marriage to Matthew was just another chain; the Gordon Group was likely just a quiet division of the Riley empire by now.

Lindsay clung to the bedsheet, her fingernails biting into her skin. That sharp sting was nothing compared to the grief and fury that twisted inside her. All she wanted now was vengeance. She wanted to reclaim every scrap of what had once belonged to her family.

But the cruelest irony was that she couldn't even step out of this house on her own, let alone storm the Gordon Group to challenge Matthew's lies. The first step would be to restore her sight-no matter what she had to risk or how far she had to go.

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.

I was once the princess of the Upper East Side, but now I’m just "debt wrapped in pretty skin." To keep my father alive in a federal penitentiary, I signed a contract I didn't fully understand. I thought it was about restoring my family's name, but producer Barnett Orr treated it like a bill of sale for my soul. Inside his limousine, the air smelled like gasoline and fear. Barnett didn't want a star; he wanted a victim. He bruised my jaw and ripped my vintage silk gown to shreds, laughing because he knew I couldn't fight back without signing my father's death warrant. "Don't forget who owns you, Felicity," he whispered. When he dragged me into Dewitt Knight’s penthouse party, I was a walking disaster. I huddled in Barnett’s oversized jacket, my lip bleeding and my spirit shattered. The elite crowd didn't see a victim; they saw a fallen girl selling herself for a role. A former rival poured red wine over me, and the room erupted in cruel laughter while Barnett told everyone he was just "testing my commitment." I looked up at the balcony, locking eyes with Dewitt Knight. He was a god in a bespoke suit, looking down at me with cold, lethal disgust. He didn't see the bruises or the desperation. He only saw a transaction he found beneath him. "So the rumors are true," he said, his voice cutting through the music. "The Aguilars really will do anything for money now. Even this." I was trapped between a monster who wanted to break me and a man who thought I was trash. No one cared that my father's life depended on my silence. When Barnett cornered me in a guest room later that night, his belt jingling like a death knell, I realized no one was coming to save a girl like me. I fought back with a crystal vase, shattering it against his shoulder, but I was drowning in my own terror. Just as Barnett lunged for my throat, the door was kicked off its hinges. Dewitt stood there, finally seeing the blood on the carpet and the map of purple bruises on my bare back. He chased the monster away, but I didn't feel safe. I locked the guest room door, wedged a chair under the handle, and slept with a silver letter opener pressed against my skin. When I crept into the kitchen at midnight and found him waiting in the shadows, I aimed the blade at his heart. "In this house, no one hurts you," he promised, his voice a low velvet rumble. But in a world where I had already been sold once, I knew that even protection came with a price I couldn't afford to pay.
