Blissfully Ignorant Novels & Stories

This was the type of school where everyone knew everyone. The three of us balanced each other out. "How did you finish the pop quiz so quick?" Bea looked at me with wide eyes, noticing the paper turned upside down on my desk. She looked baffled. I shrugged. "It was easy." Bea groaned quietly. "Yeah—easy for the smartest person in the world. Also known as you. You are the smartest person in the world, my friend." "Maybe—the smartest person in the room." Jade laughed softly, hey eyes trained on her quiz as she finished writing.

They kept staring at us hungrily the whole time, as though we were supposed to be their meals. I could only take my seat while feeling uneasy. After that, I began eating my food numbly. I even spotted a few familiar faces around me. Those people didn't know me, but I often saw them on the news. Many of them were VIPs. They looked like educated gentlemen on TV. One of them was even famous for his love and adoration for his wife. At that moment, I finally understood why Oceanica Cruise wanted to hire blind masseuses. Blind people were the only ones who didn't know who these guests were. It was impossible for them to expose any secrets here.

Matthew's First-Person POV Evelyn Carter said, "I lost a game back at the bar, so I just picked some random guy to do the dare with. I didn't expect him to be this easy to fool. I pretended to be blind and stayed with him for a whole year, and he actually believed it without question." Lewis Ross pressed on with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Don't you ever get bored having to keep this up for so long?" Evelyn fell silent for a moment.

I could even smell the sweat on them, the raw, tangled scent of beasts. Marielle noticed me first. Her eyes were unfocused, and her makeup was smeared. She flashed me a slow, deliberate smile full of provocation. She moaned loudly and asked, "Adrian, ah... darling, tell me... am I better, or is she better?" Adrian's breathing was rough, like a bull in rut. "You. It's always you, baby. No one feels better than you." Marielle looked at me triumphantly. She deliberately pressed her chest against the table, rolling her shoulders as she stuck her tongue out at me and cried out, "Oh Alpha... my Alpha. Fuck, oh yes... fuck... no one is better than you."

I don't know why I'm telling her off but I feel I should. "What? Leave me to be happy. And ignorant. It really is bliss." I laugh and shake my head at her. "You are so crazy." "Sometimes you have to be. It helps." She nods. "How are you feeling?" "Strange. I know I'm not supposed to read into it, because it is what it is, and everything is still so bizarre, but part of me wants to slip away into ignorant bliss." I borrow her words. "Why can't you?"
