Love at First Sight
Alethea, a young girl from a small village, accepts a tempting job offer to care for a sick employer in the capital city as a way to escape her mother. However, upon arriving at the employer's home, Alethea is shocked to discover that her patient is not the frail, elderly person she imagined, but Sebastian Tarcisio—a wealthy heir who is blind, arrogant, and stubborn. From their very first meeting, Sebastian is rude and constantly insults her, making her regret her decision to take the job. However, her mother has already taken the one-year advance payment, and if Alethea breaks the contract, not only will she face punishment, but her family will also suffer for spending the upfront salary. With no other choice, Alethea is forced to endure. In truth, Sebastian’s insults aren’t because he hates Alethea or doubts her abilities. It’s because he knows that his grandfather, Felix Tarcisio, intentionally placed Alethea in his life in the hopes that they would form a relationship and eventually give Felix a male heir to continue the Tarcisio family line. As time goes on, Alethea begins to realize that Sebastian isn’t as cruel as she initially thought. Beneath his hardened exterior, she sees his vulnerability. And in Alethea’s resilience, Sebastian starts to discover a gentleness within himself that he never knew existed. What will become of their story amidst the shadows of manipulation by Sebastian’s grandfather and the greed of Alethea’s mother? Will Alethea and Sebastian fight for their unexpected love, or will they end up parting ways?

Prologue
“Sir, don't. Please...” Thea sobbed in fear as she pushed Sebastian's sturdy body again. Yet again, her efforts were completely fruitless.
“They want me to touch you.” Said Sebastian, who had managed to unbutton Alethea's uniform and pull it open until Alethea's stomach was exposed. “They want me to ravish you.” Sebastian continued in Alethea's left ear while the man's right hand rubbed Alethea's belly and continued upward under her bra until the man's big hand reached Alethea's round and firm breasts and squeezed them.
“S-Sir... please... don't...” Alethea pleaded with tears in her eyes. But again Sebastian ignored her request, the man deliberately rubbed and squeezed Alethea's breasts until Alethea could only shake her head in fear and kept trying to push Sebastian's body away.
“They think I've gone numb.” Sebastian whispered this time in the hollow of Alethea's neck. The man kissed and licked the neck with the tip of his tongue which overwhelmed Alethea and made her feel even more frightened. “They want me to fuck you and implant my seed in your womb.” Sebastian played with Alethea's other neck which made Alethea's sobs even louder. The push of Alethea's rebellious hands had no effect on the man at all “I'd be happy to do it. Aren't you paid to do that? To entertain me?” Sebastian said in Alethea's ear and deliberately licked away the girl's tears that were streaming down the side of her face.
“No, sir. Please. I didn't come here for that...” Alethea whispered with the last of her strength as she pushed against Sebastian's broad chest. Alethea felt the pressure on her lower body coming from Sebastian's vital organs. She struggled even more, pushing Sebastian with all her might out of fear.
'No, this can't happen. Sebastian can't rape me. Sebastian can't take my virginity! Alethea screamed to herself. 'I've already lost my self-respect. If I lose my virginity, then I have nothing to be proud of.”
And as if from nowhere, Alethea suddenly felt a surge of strength. With one powerful shove, she managed to push Sebastian away, causing him to stumble and fall to the floor. Before Sebastian could regain his balance, Alethea bolted from his room, running toward the only exit she knew, while Sebastian's laughter echoed mockingly behind her.
Alethea kept running, barefoot, clutching her clothes tightly to cover herself. She reached the villa’s exit, but as she stepped outside, two tall, burly men blocked her path. They grabbed her arms, ignoring her exposed clothing, and easily lifted her off the ground.
Alethea struggled, pleading to be let go. She screamed for help, though she didn’t know who might hear her. But the two men paid no attention to her cries. They carried her to the side of the villa and forced her back into her room. Still writhing in resistance, she was thrown roughly onto the bed before the men left, locking the door from the outside.
Alethea was trapped! She tried opening the door, but it wouldn’t budge. Desperately, she pounded on it with her fists, her cries for help just as loud as the furious banging.
"Anyone, please help me get out of here!" Alethea begged desperately. But deep down, she knew there was no one out there. Not the two hulking guards. Not Pierre. Not even Helen.
Alethea’s body trembled violently as she collapsed weakly onto the cold floor. She sobbed, not just from the pain but from the overwhelming fear.
What Sebastian had done to her moments ago was nothing short of her worst nightmare. If she hadn’t managed to escape, Alethea was certain her body would no longer be her own.
"You’re being paid for this. To entertain me." Those two sentences echoed relentlessly in her mind. So did the memory of Sebastian’s hands on her body and the feeling of his lips against hers. It all left an indelible mark.
Alethea wiped her lips with the back of her hand, hoping to erase the sensation of his mouth and tongue. She also rubbed her chest roughly, trying to scrub away the imprint of Sebastian’s touch.
She cried for what felt like hours until exhaustion finally overtook her, leaving her lying motionless on the cold, hard floor.

Bound By Duty, Captivated By Love 69 – Mr. Noam Tarcisio
“Mr. Tarcisio has returned.”Thea heard that statement from Helen just as she came back to her room after putting Shareeza to bed.“Mr. Sebastian is back?” Thea asked in return, since she hadn’t received any updates from her employer. A few days earlier, Sebastian had told Shareeza he would take her on a holiday once he returned.“Not Mr. Sebastian, but Mr. Noam Tarcisio,” Helen clarified.“So?”“He asked me to contact you and tell you to come here.”“When?”“Tomorrow.”“What about Miss Shareeza?”“Just bring her along. If Mrs. Eireen gets upset, I’ll defend you,” Helen assured her, and Thea simply nodded. “I’ve already informed the driver,” Helen added, and after Thea promised she would come with Shareeza, the call ended.The next day, Thea dressed Shareeza up as sweetly as possible. She put the little girl in a cute matching outfit and tied her hair with an adorable pink clip. Thea wanted Shareeza to look lovely before meeting her great-grandfather.“Pappous doesn’t like me,” Sharee

“I’m going to Milan,” Eireen suddenly announced one morning before breakfast.In the twenty days Thea had been living at Eireen’s residence, it was rare to see the woman at breakfast—let alone looking this ready to leave.“While I’m away, take good care of Shareeza. Make sure she goes to school and all her lessons according to schedule. Don’t let her skip anything,” the woman said—words Thea didn’t hear often. Eireen hardly paid any attention to Shareeza. Even when the little girl complained of being tired and asked for a short break from her routine, Eireen would explode and say things that were harsh and unpleasant to hear.“Do you want to grow up stupid?” “Don’t be spoiled. Just because you’re a little tired doesn’t mean you can stop studying.” “You’re a Tarcisio. One day you’ll have to run your father’s business. Don’t be weak over trivial things—life isn’t as light as your little headache.”Thea had heard all of these things. And strangely, seeing Eireen now reminded her of her

On the tenth day of Sebastian’s absence, Thea accepted an invitation from Olivia, one of Shareeza’s nanny’s friends, to leave the school grounds in search of some snacks.“Don’t you have any plans to continue school? I mean, go to college. You don’t want to pursue it?” the girl asked as she slurped her ramyun at a small food stall about a hundred meters from Shareeza’s school.“I’m not that smart,” Thea replied honestly. “Besides, I don’t have the means to go to college, especially in a big city like this. I’m just a servant. My salary barely covers my meals.” She didn’t have the heart to admit that she currently had absolutely nothing—except for the money in her bank account, which she didn’t even know the amount of.“I was pessimistic at first too. I came to this city with nothing but guts and a promise—my foster brother once promised to help me go to college here. But after thinking it through, I felt bad about adding more burden on my siblings, so I decided to take a break first.

"Are you currently in a relationship with someone?" Edward asked suddenly, making Thea pause for a moment."Is that something you need to know?" Thea responded calmly."Not really, I'm just curious," Edward replied, looking slightly awkward at Thea’s still flat expression."No. I don’t have a boyfriend." The answer left Thea’s lips without hesitation. Slowly, a smile returned to Edward’s face. To him, it was a sign that he might still have a chance to get closer.Throughout the dinner, they talked about many random things. To Edward’s surprise, Thea turned out to be a pleasant conversationalist. However, from time to time, he found himself frustrated because all his efforts to make the girl smile or show interest never really worked.It wasn’t because he was arrogant, but Edward knew he wasn’t exactly the kind of guy who was hard to like. He realized that he looked decent, and although he wasn’t as rich as Sebastian, he was financially stable. From school to his working life now, many

It was nine o’clock at night. The house had started to quiet down. After successfully putting Shareeza to sleep, Thea wandered through the house, where most of the lights had already been turned off. She walked to the kitchen and filled a one-liter bottle with water, just as Jasmine had suggested earlier—as preparation for what might be a hot and stuffy night in the small storage room where she was staying.Thea didn’t realize she was being followed. Only when her hand touched the doorknob did a voice call out from behind her.“Thea.”She turned quickly, slightly startled. Edward was approaching with relaxed steps, though his intent was clear.“Can I help you with something?” Thea asked politely, withdrawing her hand from the doorknob and standing under the dim corridor light.Edward scratched the back of his neck. “Umm… so. We just had dinner, I know. But honestly… I’m kind of hungry again,” he said with an awkward grin.Thea raised an eyebrow. “Would you like me to make you someth

Thea returned to her temporary room and immediately noticed something was different. Her bag was no longer where she had left it. A sense of unease crept into her chest. She quickly opened her phone wallet—relieved. Her debit card was still there.Of course. Eireen wouldn’t be interested in the debit card of a girl like her. Besides, the balance inside probably wasn’t worth much in her eyes.But Thea didn’t need to think hard about who had rummaged through her bag. No one else would be bold—or cruel—enough to do it but Eireen.Fortunately, the black card Sebastian had given her was already hidden away beforehand. If that card had gone missing, Thea knew she wouldn’t be able to accuse anyone without proof—and there was no way she could ever replace its value.Letting out a long sigh, Thea leaned her back against the cold wall of the storage room.This wasn’t the life she had dreamed of.But this was the life she had to live now—whether she liked it or not.Compared to her past, this li
