The Blind CEO Who Sees Through Me
Sophia Ward never imagined her life would spiral this way. One moment, she’s struggling to keep her family afloat; the next, she’s kidnapped by Adrian Vale—a ruthless criminal who threatens her family’s very existence if she doesn’t obey his orders. His mission? Infiltrate Blackwood Enterprises and manipulate its enigmatic CEO, Desmond Blackwood, into signing a contract that could change everything.
Every choice she makes is a gamble. Every lie she tells is a risk.
Desmond Blackwood has always lived by control and calculation. Blind yet unyielding, he’s nothing like the whispers that surround him. And when Sophia steps into his world—fragile, terrified, yet stubbornly brave—he senses a storm in her heart he can’t ignore.
Then Sophia Ward walked into his life. Fragile, terrified, yet strangely bold. She carried secrets he didn’t yet understand—and a courage that defied her circumstances.
Something about her stirred something in him he hadn’t felt in years. Curiosity. Protection. And perhaps, against all reason, something more.
With the fact he knows, she is hiding a dangerous secret of her own— He still leans in more for her to trust him because somehow that matters to him. But in a world where trust is a luxury, Desmond would have to decide: Could he risk believing in her, even if it might cost him everything? And Sophia must navigate love, danger, and deception. Can she protect her family without losing herself—or the one person she never thought she’d trust

Chapter: Chapter 5: First ImpressionsThe first day of a lie always feels heavier than the truth.SophiaI stand in front of the frosted-glass doors leading to the CEO’s office, my palms damp despite the cool air of the executive floor. Everything up here feels different.Quieter.Sharper.Deliberate.I inhale and knock.No response.After a few seconds, I push the door open.The office is empty.I freeze.The receptionist clearly says Mr. Blackwood is inside. So where is he?Should I wait outside?Call out again?But the room is silent.My heart thuds in my chest.Maybe he steps out for a moment.Slowly, I step inside and close the door behind me.And then I allow myself to look.His office.It isn’t flashy or overly luxurious. It’s refined. Controlled.Like him.Dark walnut panels cover the walls. The black marble floor reflects faint streaks of silver like quiet lightning. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the city, but the blinds filter the light into soft shadows.There’s no clutter.No unnecessary decoration.A long

Chapter: Chapter 4: Obsession and CuriosityControl begins to slip when unexpected integrity refuses to bend.DesmondPeople assume darkness is my weakness. They are wrong.The real weakness is doubt. And tonight, it sits across from me in the form of a rejected partnership contract.I clench my fists, frustrated, trying not to dwell on it. It's late. I can tell from the humidity. The temperature has dropped slightly—the air conditioning adjusting to evening mode. The traffic outside slows, but here I am with no intention of leaving anytime soon. Most of my staff have gone home; their footsteps faded one by one an hour ago. But I remain because my work has just begun.Furiously, I type on my laptop, suppressing the pain in my hands, trying to distract my mind from the failed proposal I received—a deal with Ardent Global Holdings. International. Ruthless. Selective. And their CEO thinks I am a liability. Not because my company lacks profit. Not because my strategies fail. But because I cannot see.My jaw tightens. In five years,

Chapter: Chapter 3: Homecoming and ShadowsHome feels safe, but threats still linger.SophiaThe familiar creaking of the door pulls me out of my thoughts as I push it open. I abandon my heels in the foyer, hang my purse on the hook, and rest my back against the door.What a day.The tantalizing scent of sauce wafts through the air, mixing with the clashing of cutlery and utensils.Home.Forcing my aching body to move, I walk toward the kitchen, passing our tiny vintage living room.“I’m ho—”I don’t get to finish.“Surprise!!!”My mum and younger brother stand there with wide smiles and even wider arms. A simple banner hangs behind them, slightly crooked, with Congratulations written in bold marker.“You guys…” I breathe, warmth spreading through my chest.“We got your text,” Mum says, as if that explains everything. “Come here, my child.”I don’t hesitate. I fall into her arms, into the familiar softness that always makes everything feel manageable.“Congratulations on getting the job, Sophie.”That’s when it truly sinks in.

Chapter: Chapter 2: The InterviewTrust is earned, even when survival is at stake.Two weeks laterSophiaI’m nervous. Blackwood Enterprises is nothing like I imagined. It’s more than that.The building towers over the city like it owns it. Sleek black glass panels reflect the morning sun, blinding and cold—just like the reputation of the man who runs it.My palms are damp, and my lips feel dry from constant licking.I force myself to find composure. Two months. That’s all I have.I inhale deeply, adjust the strap of my bag, and step through the revolving doors, forcing my breathing to slow. The lobby is vast—polished marble floors, lush furniture, quiet voices echoing softly. Everything about this place screams power. Precision. Control.The sharp click of heels echoes across the bright space. Employees in expensive corporate attire move with purpose. Everyone seems to belong here.I don’t. But I have to.I approach the receptionist, who greets me with a warm smile.“Good morning. How can I help you?”“I’m here for t

Chapter: Chapter 1: Torn in BetweenSophiaMy hair was yanked back painfully from behind, forcing me into an awkward position on my knees. But that wouldn’t stop me from pleading.“Please! Please, I’m begging you, don’t do this… he’s already hurt. We just need time. Just give us some…”Yelp.The sharp sound of impact rang in my ears. It took me a second to realize who the attack came from—and who the victim was.Me.He had just slapped me.I swallowed the bitter taste of pain and humiliation, knowing that if I said anything else, I wouldn’t be lucky enough to receive just a slap. My breath came in shallow gasps. Each exhale was a desperate attempt to steady myself. My knees burned against the rough ground. My legs trembled, as though the weight of the moment might crush me entirely. “My father is in a coma. If you harm him again, he won’t survive it,” I thought, clinging to the only leverage I had.“Do I look concerned? You’ve got some nerve if you think you can bargain with me.” His voice was low, calm—and far more ter
