Hayden’s POV

Her silence told me everything before her words ever did.

When we got home, I could still taste the faint sweetness of that bakery on my tongue… the one she insisted we visit, the one that carried something sharp beneath the sugar.

Charlotte.

That name rolled through my head again, quieter this time, like a secret only I was meant to keep.

The sound of her steps followed me across the marble foyer, lighter than usual, hesitant. She was nervous… I could hear it. Her breathing was un

  • For The Blind Billionaire    Fatal

    Charlotte POVStanding in Hayden’s room felt surreal, though it wasn't supposed to be.For weeks, I had avoided this place like it was haunted… like it carried too many ghosts of everything that had gone wrong between us. The kiss with my sister, the doubting, the blaming and the scheming, everything.. Now, the room was quiet.Too quiet.The curtains were half drawn, letting in soft afternoon light that spilled across the bed. I took a slow step forward, my heart tight in my chest, like I was trespassing even though I was his wife.It had been weeks.Weeks of chaos. Fear. Accusations. Handcuffs. Jail cells. Betrayal. Near death.And now… it was finally over.Or so I thought.I let myself breathe for the first time since Agnes had died basically, maybe even longer than that.This room right now, it felt like the promise of something normal again.Maybe now we can go back.That hope settled in my chest, though still delicate as glass, but I was something. My steps took me toward t

  • For The Blind Billionaire    Very Adventurous

    Hayden POVThe kiss barely had time to settle before my phone rang.It buzzed sharply in my pocket, the sound cutting through the fragile calm that Charlotte and I had just reclaimed after very so long. Her lips were still warm against mine, her breath still mingling with mine, when the vibration pulled me back into reality.I frowned.Whoever it was had chosen the worst possible moment to call.I pulled back slightly, my hand still resting at the small of her back, grounding myself in the knowledge that she was here, safe and not going anywhere anytime soon. “I’m sorry,” I murmured, already reaching for the phone.She nodded, her thumb brushing lightly against my wrist.I pulled it out and answered.“Hello?”My voice came out sharper than what I intended. But a heavy silence greeted me for a second too long.I was about to cut it and turn back to Charlotte when a voice came through the line. His tone was deep, calm and almost amused. “Put it on speaker, Mr. Maxwell. I want Charl

  • For The Blind Billionaire    The Mass

    The MassCharlotte POVThe cell smelled like damp and stale water. It settled into my lungs with every breath I took. The narrow bench there, pressed cold against my thighs as I sat there, my knees drawn close and my arms wrapped around myself. Harry’s face kept flashing in my mind.The way the gun had clicked on my forehead. That was my life flashing before my eyes.If she hadn’t been interrupted—if Hayden hadn’t walked in… I exhaled shakily and pressed my forehead to my knees.I survived, I reminded myself.Barely.The sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor. My head lifted instinctively, my heart stuttering painfully as keys jingled.The footsteps stopped in front of my cell.“Charlotte Maxwell,” a voice said.I looked up slowly.The officer slid the key into the lock and twisted. The metal door groaned as it swung open.“You’re free to go.”For a second, I didn’t move.“…What?” I whispered.“You’ve been cleared,” he said, stepping aside. “You can leave.”My legs tremble

  • For The Blind Billionaire    The Betrayal 

    Hayden POVI didn't know if I walked in on something good or maybe bad. Harry's reaction seemed the former, but Charlotte reaction told the exact opposite story. Her walking past me like that stayed with me long after she disappeared down the corridor.I stood there, frozen, my cane planted firmly against the marble floor, my other hand curling slowly into a fist.I listened to the echo of her footsteps as they retreated, becoming softer and softer, until the sound vanished entirely. Something was wrong.No… something had happened.I could feel it the way you feel pressure before a storm breaks. The air around me felt heavy when I walked in on both of them. Harry. The maid Charlotte kept circling back to. The one she had insisted on, while I brushed it off because it was easier to believe in loyalty than betrayal. Had Charlotte been right?Or was this house finally breaking her?I turned slowly and began to walk back toward my bedroom, tapping my cane against the floor. Each

  • For The Blind Billionaire    Was That It?

    Charlotte POVThe sound of the gun cocking was small, almost polite.But it shattered something inside me.I froze where I stood, every muscle in my body locking at once as if fear itself had reached into my veins and turned me to stone.My breath caught halfway into my lungs and refusing to move any further.Slowly… so slowly, I turned.Harry stood a few feet away from me.Her arm was extended to me and the gun was pointed directly at my chest. There was no hesitation in her eyes, no fear our doubt. It was clear to me that she's done this before maybe more than once. My knees threatened to give out.“Please…” The word fell out of my mouth before I could stop it, my tone weak. “Please don’t… don’t do this.”My vision blurred instantly, tears stinging my eyes as my heartbeat pounded loudly in my ears. “Give me the phone,” Harry said calmly.“I… I don’t have any phone,” I stammered, shaking my head. “I swear. I don’t. Please, Harry, I didn’t—”“Don’t lie to me,” she cut in sharply,

  • For The Blind Billionaire     The Truth 

    Charlotte POVThe room felt emptier after the lawyer left.It wasn't just quiet, it felt hollow, as if the walls themselves had absorbed his words and were now echoing them back at me. Arrest warrant. I had to be ready because they could barge in at any time. Hayden didn’t speak immediately.I could hear him breathing, maybe thinking of his next words.I stayed where I was, my arms folded around myself, staring at nothing. My thoughts were chaotic and all over the place.Then, finally, he spoke, his tone calm. “They won’t take you.”I turned toward his voice.“What?” My voice came out thin and a little weak. “They won’t,” he repeated, firmer now. “I won’t allow it.”I let out a shaky laugh that surprised even me. “You won’t allow it?” I asked. “Hayden, the police don’t ask for permission.”“They don’t need to,” he said calmly. “Because I’ll make sure it never comes to that.”I stepped closer to him, my heartbeat uneven. “And how exactly do you plan to do that?”He angled his fac
