THE BLIND BILLIONAIRE LITTLE STRAY The weight of decisions
That evening, Xavier sat in his study. The man he had been speaking to on the phone stood a short distance away, hands clasped behind his back. In front of the desk stood three women—quiet, tense. These were the candidates for the personal assistant position. The one who would assist him everywhere he went. Xavier wore his sunglasses. Yes. He couldn’t see them. Silence stretched, thick and uncomfortable. After a long moment, he turned his head slightly, his voice calm. “Why don’t you choose for me, Mr. Josh.” Josh straightened at once. “Of course, sir.” The three women stiffened, each holding her breath. Mr. Josh looked at the three women, confusion written across his face. Then he turned to Xavier, who was tapping a single finger against the arm of his chair, slow. “Sir… why don’t you try them all?” Josh suggested cautiously. “See… feel who you want?” Xavier went quiet, silent long enough for the room to feel smaller, heavier. Then he stood. The first woma

The corridors of Saint Veridian Medical Center smelled sharply of antiseptic. Dr. Halden moved from room to room, clipboard in hand, checking on patients and noting details. He spoke quietly to a guardian in the pediatric ward, offering reassurance as the child slept. Nurses passed by, whispering softly, keeping the routine moving.When he stepped out of the last room, a nurse approached, looking nervous.“Doctor Halden… someone is waiting for you in your office,” she said.Halden frowned but didn’t hesitate. “Thank you. I’ll see them now.”He walked down the hall, his shoes tapping on the polished floor, and unlocked his office door. Inside, a man stood with his back to him, staring at a photograph on the wall. Simon.Simon turned slowly, a small smirk on his face. “She’s… pretty,” he said casually, nodding toward the picture.Halden’s eyes narrowed. “Didn’t you say tonight?”Simon chuckled. “I was passing by,” he said smoothly. “Thought I’d drop in and say hello.”He moved further

The black car rolled into the lot in front of ColeTech, slowing smoothly before coming to a stop. The engine settled into a low hum before going quiet.Xavier remained seated in the back.His fingers tapped once against the leather armrest, slow and deliberate. He didn’t move when the door opened.Outside, Greg—his business assistant—had already stepped out of the car. The driver stayed where he was, eyes forward.Xavier’s phone buzzed in his hand.He answered without hesitation. “Yes?”The voice on the other end was efficient, slightly hurried. “Sir, I’ve shortlisted three candidates for the personal assistant position.”Xavier tilted his head just a fraction. “Bring them to my estate tonight.”A pause. Then, “Understood, sir.”The call ended.Xavier set the phone aside and leaned back, hands folding neatly in his lap. Greg opened the door wider.“Sir,” Greg said quietly.Xavier stepped out.The moment he did, nearby staff paused in their movements. Conversations lowered. A few head

Ayla gave a small, hesitant smile. “Oh… Mr. Andrew.”He didn’t return the warmth. Instead, his grin widened, sharp and mischievous. “About the money,” he said, tilting his head slightly, the movement casual but threatening. “Today’s the deadline. You do know that, right?”Ayla’s stomach twisted. “Honestly… I forgot,” she murmured, her voice barely steady.“That’s not my problem,” he said, his tone flat. “Do you have the money or not?”She shook her head, her words rushed. “No… my mother—she’s in critical condition. I spent everything I had on her care.”Mr. Andrew’s eyes flashed, and he flared suddenly, the grin twisting into something sharper, crueler. “Look,” he barked, stepping closer. “My boss isn’t exactly forgiving, and if I can’t collect, I’ll be the one paying the price. I took pity and lent you that money… and now you can’t pay me back?”Ayla froze. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came. Didn’t he hear her? Couldn’t he see her situation?He didn’t give her the cha
THE BLIND BILLIONAIRE LITTLE STRAY What the morning brought
The steady beep of the machine pulled Ayla out of a shallow, restless sleep.She stirred, her neck stiff, her cheek pressed awkwardly against the edge of the bed. For a moment she didn’t move, just listened—to the machine, to the quiet hum of the hospital, to the fragile rhythm of her mother still being here.Slowly, she stood and walked to the window. She drew the curtain aside and pushed it open a little. Cool morning air brushed against her face, carrying the faint sounds of the city waking up—distant cars, muted voices, life continuing outside these walls. She closed her eyes briefly, breathing it in, as if it might steady her.She turned back to the bed and yawned, stretching until her back ached. Her eyes burned from crying, from not sleeping, from pretending she was strong when she wasn’t.o She looked down at her mother. Pale. Too still. She reached out and carefully adjusted the blanket, smoothing it like she had done a thousand times before.“Good morning, Mom,” she whispere

Clarissa settled back into the seat beside Xavier, crossing one leg over the other. She angled her body toward him, clearly determined not to be dismissed so easily.“So, Mr. Xavier Cole,” she said lightly, swirling the drink she’d collected earlier. "you’re single, right?”Xavier exhaled through his nose, a slow, restrained sigh. His fingers moved to his jacket pocket, fumbling briefly before finding his phone. His expression remained closed, patience thinning.“Do you want to call someone?” Clarissa offered, leaning in a little. “I can help you.”He didn’t respond. His thumb moved with practiced precision as he unlocked the screen, navigating by memory alone. Clarissa watched, brows lifting despite herself.“You seem to know your way around a phone,” she remarked.Xavier let out a quiet scoff. “I’m blind,” he said coolly, “not incompetent.”The words landed flat, sharp enough to end the conversation. He selected a contact, the one at the top without hesitation and lifted the phone t
