Chapter 1

Madison Young stared at me, stunned. "What did you just say?"Under the weight of everyone's stares, I repeated myself slowly and clearly, "I said, I'm willing to marry Grace."Madison's neatly shaped brows pulled tight. "Caleb Vaughn, have you lost your mind? You really want to marry a blind girl?"Connor Vaughn let out a laugh. "Come on, bro. Even if you're mad at Maddie, you don't have to throw your future away on a blind girl."I stared coldly at both of them.Madison and I had been close since we were kids. For the longest time, all her attention had been mine until Connor showed up and disrupted everything.In my past life, when the two of them started pressuring me to marry Grace as a joke, I got into an argument with them. They had stormed off, their faces dark with anger.I'd known, even then, that Connor had been sneaking around with the heiress of the Young family. He was never serious about Madison. I warned her not to get close to him, but she turned her back on my

Hearing Dad's tired voice on the other end of the line, something tightened in my chest.I remembered the way he'd looked last time—cuffed and shoved into the back of a squad car.My fists clenched."This time," I said firmly, "don't partner with the Young family."He sounded confused, but I insisted. And in the end, he agreed, "Alright. Whatever you say."I finally let out a breath.By the time I hung up, the car had pulled up in front of the bridal shop. I got out and helped Grace out of the car. We walked in together.The moment we stepped into the store, I spotted Connor. He was standing in front of a display, his eyes glued to a sleek designer suit, practically drooling over it."If Caleb wore this suit," he said dreamily, "he'd look amazing, huh?"Madison stood beside him. At his words, her brow twitched. "Don't mention his name. He's lost his mind. Honestly, though, Connor, you'd look better in it than he ever would."Connor gave an awkward little laugh. "Really? I mean,

"You think you can cheat and still expect our families to stay in business together?" Madison snapped. "Aren't you worried I'll cut ties with your father? What happens to your family's empire if there's a gap in funding? Can you afford the consequences?"I had just finished adjusting Grace's dress when I turned to look at Madison. "Sorry, but I already told Dad to pull out of that deal. We've cut ties with your family. Completely.""You… you canceled the deal?" Madison's face turned pale, disbelief tightening around the edges. "Caleb, are you seriously throwing away everything for a blind girl? You're really going to burn everything down just to spite me? Have you lost your mind, or has she bewitched you?"Connor's brows knit together. He started patting his pockets, then suddenly froze. "My ring! Where the hell is my ring?!"He turned toward us with wild eyes. "Did she take it?!"Instantly, every pair of eyes in the boutique landed on us.I stepped protectively in front of Grace

Chapter 4

Everyone in the boutique was staring at the woman beside me now with stunned expressions.Connor’s face twitched. "Mr. Ward, you’ve got it wrong. She’s just a blind girl. She’s not a Bellamy.""Shows what you know." Mr. Ward shook off his hand and snapped coldly at the staff, "What are you all standing around for? Escort these two out. Now."A group of store employees stepped up, surrounding Connor and Madison."Sir, ma’am, please leave."Madison frowned. "But Connor’s ring really is missing. Even if you’re kicking us out, shouldn’t we at least try to find it first?"Mr. Ward’s face flushed red. "Are you implying that Miss Bellamy would steal your cheap little trinkets? If you don’t believe me, we can pull the surveillance footage right now!"At the mention of "surveillance", Connor’s face went paper white. "The cameras... I thought your cameras were broken?"Mr. Ward shot him a withering look. "They've been repaired days ago. This is a high-end store. What kind of place wouldn

Chapter 5

I thought I was just getting married. It turned out I was marrying a hidden powerhouse.A moment later, a hand reached past me and quietly closed the window. The cool breeze vanished.I turned to Grace. Her eyes were still lowered, and her expression was calm."My vision should be fully restored in about a week," she said softly.I nodded."Then we'll hold our engagement party a week from now," I told Nico.After dropping Grace off at her home, the car circled back to the Vaughn estate.As soon as I stepped inside, I spotted Connor sitting in the main hall. He looked pale, but the moment he saw me, his eyes reddened with rage. "You piece of shit, Caleb!"I snorted. "You embarrassed yourself, and now you've got the nerve to curse me out?"He crushed the cheap plastic cup in his hand and growled, "Don't think you're untouchable just because you latched onto someone rich. I stole Madison from you once. I'll do it again with Grace."His shamelessness actually caught me off guard

Chapter 6

The bathroom was pitch-black. I couldn't even see my hand in front of me.Strangely, it reminded me of another time I'd been locked in a bathroom back in middle school. A group of classmates had stolen my uniform and tossed it into the girls' restroom. They dared me to go in and get it myself.I went, and the second I stepped inside, they slammed the door behind me.Back then, it was Madison who had broken down the door and pulled me out.Now? She was probably sitting next to Connor, whispering and laughing with him like nothing ever happened.The air in the room was cold and damp. I sank down beside the door and closed my eyes for a moment.I didn't know how long I sat there before I heard footsteps outside. I immediately slapped the door and called out, "Hey! I'm locked in here. Can you help me get the door open?"The footsteps paused.Then a familiar voice, which was shaky and uncertain, answered, "Caleb? Is that you?"My hand froze mid-knock."It's me, Madison. Don't worr

Chapter 7

"You… you hit me," Connor choked.Madison's face was stony. "You're damn right I did. Don't think I don't know what you've been doing to Caleb behind my back."Connor's eyes went wide. He turned to me, furious. "You! You piece of shit! You turned her against me! You just can't stop poisoning Maddie against me, can you?"He lunged toward me, fists clenched. Fortunately, before he got close, Grace's bodyguard shoved him aside.Without even a glance back, Grace grabbed my hand and strode toward the exit with me.Neither Connor nor Madison showed up again for the rest of the engagement party. Clearly, they knew how much they'd embarrassed themselves.…With the party behind us, it was time to plan the wedding.After that disaster, every time Connor saw me, he ground his teeth. I got sick of looking at him, so I moved into Grace's villa. Her place was double the size of mine.Each day, after finishing up our wedding planning documents, I'd sip tea on the balcony, admiring the garde

Chapter 8

Grace looked at me, a smile tugging at her lips without her even realizing.She told me that back in high school, she had transferred in as the new kid. Quiet, withdrawn, and never one to socialize, she didn't fit in. It didn't take long before the class started isolating and bullying her.People threw trash at her and carved nasty things into her desk. She never really cared, she said. None of it ever meant anything to her.She never expected a boy to actually stand up for her and scold the bullies, just for her.She gave me a long look. Suddenly, the memory came rushing back.I remembered that moment. I'd just started to come out of my shell back then. Walking past another class, I'd seen a girl's chair being tossed out into the hallway while everyone jeered.For some reason, it reminded me of myself. Before I even thought it through, I stepped into the classroom and yelled at them.I got lucky that my voice was strong enough and my anger loud enough that they backed off.Now

Chapter 9

Grace's security team had already locked down the entire perimeter, prepared for anything.I stood on the stage, my eyes lowered, and met Grace's gaze in the crowd.Steady. Deep. Certain.For a moment, I reached out my hand to her as an invitation.She stepped forward, about to take it when a voice tore through the hall."Don't marry her!"Madison.She was dressed in a white gown, clutching a bouquet of roses as she ran toward me.A team of security guards scrambled to catch up, trailing behind her.Whispers swept through the guests like wildfire.Madison stood right in front of me, holding the bouquet to her chest."Caleb," she said breathlessly, "I've known you for over a decade. We grew up together. No one knows you better than I do. I admit I hurt you. I've made mistakes. I'm sorry. I really am."I know you're still mad about what I said, but please, don't throw your life away on a stranger you've only known for two weeks."She held out the bouquet with one hand. With
