LOGINAlethea, 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?

She had already made her decision, and she would continue her journey back to the capital with Sebastian and the others.“So, we’re going to get married?” Sebastian asked after they had traveled dozens of kilometers, stopping briefly at one of the rest areas while the ambulance continued on its way to the hospital Sebastian had chosen.Thea turned to him, her eyes filled with confusion.“What do you mean?”“Earlier, what you said to your mother… you said you wanted to be my woman. That means you’re going to marry me,” Sebastian replied with a sweet smile.“You know that’s not what I meant,” Thea said shyly, turning her flushed face away—clearly not because of the heat.“Then what did you mean?” Sebastian asked back.“I said it because I was corn
“Everything is ready,” Isam informed everyone gathered in Thea’s grandmother’s room.After consulting with the doctor, Thea finally decided to accept Sebastian’s offer to take her grandmother to the hospital in the capital. The ambulance had been prepared, and not only a nurse but even a specialized doctor had been requested to accompany the journey.“I’m very sorry. The facilities in this hospital are still very limited. And as doctors, we also have our own limitations,” said the doctor who had been caring for Thea’s grandmother. As a layperson with little medical knowledge, Thea could only nod in understanding.For the trip, Thea’s grandmother would be transported by ambulance, while Helen, Pierre, Thea, and Sebastian would follow in a car provided by Pierre, driven by Sebastian’s personal chauffeur. The car Sebastian had previously used was now driven by Maxin
Thea opened her eyes and felt an ache in her left arm. When she lifted it, she saw an IV needle attached there. She frowned, then turned to look at the IV bag hanging above.“You’re awake?”Thea turned and saw Sebastian emerging from behind one of the walls.“What happened?” Thea asked in confusion, trying to sit up.“You fainted,” Sebastian replied, helping adjust the bed’s backrest so she could sit more comfortably.“Fainted?” Thea repeated, bewildered. Sebastian only gave a slow nod in response. Even he was puzzled—had she really forgotten what had caused her to faint?Not long after, Helen, Pierre, and Maxine appeared. They had just returned from a very late lunch. The three of them looked at Thea with the same confusion Sebastian had shown.“What happened?” Maxine whispered. Sebastian shook his head; he
Sebastian looked at Thea, lying pale-faced on the bed of a VIP hospital room, right next to the ward where her grandmother was being treated.Sebastian was deeply shaken when he heard the news that Thea had fainted in the middle of the negotiation between Pierre and her mother. He rushed to her room the moment he received the message and found Thea being treated by a medical staff.“Don’t you dare go back on your word, Sir,” Hera said to Pierre as the nurse hooked an IV into Thea’s hand.Sebastian glared at the woman, furious at how she still prioritized money over caring about her own daughter’s condition. But as if her soul had long since died, she showed no shame or discomfort at all.“How is she?” Sebastian asked the doctor examining Thea.“There’s no serious problem.
