My Blind Fiancée

Ava watched her little son, who had fallen asleep in her arms. He was the most beautiful baby in the world to her. She remembered the great challenge it had been to care for him at the beginning, and the despair and pain she had felt for not being able to see him or attend to him properly. The first time she saw his face, she was amazed. Seeing his tiny and sweet little face was a complete miracle of life.

Some time after his surgery, they removed the bandage from his eyes. At first, he couldn’t see anything. Both the doctor and she had given up hope. Incredibly, after a few days, a faint glow began to appear. Gradually, the images began to take shape. The surgery and the corneal cell implant had been a success, much to her and the doctor’s surprise.

The next morning in Tadeo’s office, Ava spoke with him to find out how much progress had been made in the investigation, as she had not been informed yet. She was worried because things had not progressed.

“Have you managed to gather evidence against my uncle?” she asked nervously.

“Not yet. They are reanalyzing the remnants of the car. Due to the time that has passed, the case documents had already been archived, so I had to request authorization from the judge to take it under my jurisdiction.”

“Time has been wasted on authorizations and paperwork, while Teodoro enjoys freedom and the fortune he stole from me,” she couldn’t believe it was all just protocol.

“I understand your desperation, but we need to find solid evidence against him. That way, he won’t have a way to defend himself or evade justice. Otherwise, we’ll alert him, and he’ll take care of destroying any traces that might be left and that we could use against him.”

“I’ve waited so long; I could wait a little longer,” Ava said, completely disheartened.

“How about we go out for a drink tonight?” Tadeo asked, hoping she would agree.

“Great! Let’s go for a drink and dance,” she replied cheerfully, knowing that her nanny would gladly take care of the little one.

Tadeo smiled, knowing that many things were new to her, and he wished to experience what she hadn’t been able to before – to see the world and show it to her.

In the evening, he picked her up, and Ava came out after a few minutes. She thought the wait had been worth it. She looked beautiful in a little black dress, her hair styled in a high ponytail cascading down her lovely back, which was only covered by two thin straps. Tadeo sighed as he looked at her, approached to greet her, gave her a kiss, and they got into the car.

They arrived at the club and sat close to the dance floor. Ava just wanted to dance. She felt like she wasn’t very good at it, but she let herself be carried away by the rhythm of the music. It was her second time at a dance club, and that night, she hoped to have fun and forget about everything else for a moment.

They had a few drinks, and suddenly, a very rhythmic song caught Ava’s attention. She grabbed Tadeo’s arm and pulled him onto the dance floor without warning, laughing.

The song was rhythmic and very sensual, so Ava started moving, swaying her hips from side to side, always with her eyes closed as her way of feeling the music. Tadeo stood behind her, wrapping his arm around her waist, and they moved slowly to the beat of the song. He could feel the warmth of her body, and it felt great. He closed his eyes too.

Upstairs, in the VIP area, standing by a railing, two men were watching the sensual way the girl was dancing. They were Akiro and Mateo, and they didn’t miss a detail of her dance.

“Brother, do you know that girl?” Akiro asked, curious, seeing that Mateo couldn’t take his eyes off her.

“It’s Grecia De Luca, Bludosky’s girlfriend,” he replied bitterly, still watching her.

“Wow, what a beautiful girl, look at the way she dances,” Akiro said, attentive to her hip-swaying moves.

“If she heads to the restroom, distract Bludosky,” Mateo requested.

“Uh-hmm, don’t get yourself into trouble over a girl, brother,” Akiro cautioned. He knew that getting involved with someone else’s girlfriend meant trouble.

“Just do as I ask,” Mateo insisted, taking a sip of his drink.

“Okay, let’s see what excuse I can come up with to distract him,” Akiro knew that striking up a conversation with him would be difficult, as being friends with Mateo might not sit well with the detective.

After a while and a few more drinks, Ava headed to the restroom, while Tadeo was at the bar ordering more drinks. Akiro approached to distract him.

“Detective, it’s nice to see you here,” he pretended to be pleased, knowing he would have to figure out how to repay the favor to Mateo later.

“Mr. Tadoshi, you have a good spot here, different from the one you have in Ravena,” he said, making it clear that he knew his preferences along with Mateo.

In the restroom, Ava left and headed down the hallway. She felt a bit dizzy, not being used to drinking. Suddenly, she felt like she bumped into someone, and she recognized that unmistakable scent. She looked up, and there he was.

“Buonanotte, bella,” Mateo greeted her with a smile.

“Mr. Licciardi, what a coincidence to find ourselves here,” she replied nervously.

“I see that destiny insists on bringing us together,” he said as he approached her.

“Do you really think so?” she couldn’t help but ask, coquettish.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“Definitely,” he smiled in a way that she found irresistible.

Mateo said this just before kissing her passionately. Ava responded in kind, and suddenly he let go of her and looked at her in surprise.

“Your lips,” he said, gazing at her intently.

“What’s wrong with my lips?” she asked anxiously as she touched them. What could be wrong with them?

“That taste and the way of kissing are unmistakable, but no, it can’t be, I must be hallucinating. Maybe it’s the whiskey. You can see, and the color of your eyes isn’t the same,” she opened her eyes wide, of course, she knew what he was talking about.

“It’s better if I leave, Mr. Licciardi. My boyfriend is waiting for me. This shouldn’t have happened,” Ava scolded herself mentally for not resisting; she had come dangerously close to being discovered.

She quickly distanced herself from there. Mateo tried to reach her but couldn’t find her. When he kissed her, he had closed his eyes and could feel that it was Ava he had in front of him. Her taste and aroma were so similar. His head was in complete turmoil.

He returned to Akiro’s side, and upon seeing him return, Akiro politely bid farewell to Tadeo.

“Just in time, the detective was heading over there. He was a bit nervous about his girlfriend. He asked me if you were here, and when I said yes, his expression changed immediately. His nervousness was evident. I think he has already realized your interest in his girl. By the way, it seems he was at the club’s grand opening.”

“Wow, I didn’t think he’d be into bondage. By the way, you won’t believe what just happened to me,” Mateo said, running his hands nervously through his hair.

“What?” Akiro replied curiously, noticing that Mateo seemed very distressed.

“I kissed Grecia, and for a moment, I had the sensation that I was kissing Ava. I swear, it felt the same as when I used to kiss her.”

“Friend, you need urgent therapy. You’re starting to worry me with this,” Akiro was honest; Mateo was becoming obsessed with Ava.

“I don’t know what’s happening to me with this girl, but I need to find Ava. It’s not possible that she’s disappeared into thin air. I fear she might have fallen into Teodoro’s hands. That’s why I feel so bad about wanting Grecia ever since I met her. It’s just that I see so much of Ava in her.”

“Brother, be careful. Since you met Ava, you’ve changed. Before, you didn’t take anything seriously. Now, you can’t stop thinking about her, even though she decided to leave you. You did nothing but help her, and it didn’t matter to her. You fell in love and showed it, so if you fall for someone else, you shouldn’t feel guilty.”

Mateo turned to look at the table where Ava and Tadeo were sitting. She noticed and took Tadeo by the collar of his shirt, pulling him towards her. Without saying anything, she kissed him, and he eagerly responded to the kiss. He had been wanting it for a long time. After a moment, Ava pulled away, and Mateo didn’t know why, but it bothered him a lot. Tadeo was that girl’s boyfriend, and he had no right to feel that way.

“I’m sorry, Tadeo. I shouldn’t have done that. It’s just that Mateo keeps watching me, and I think he’s recognizing me,” she said, embarrassed. She didn’t want to encourage his feelings any further.

He felt a tightness in his chest. For a moment, he had hoped that she reciprocated his feelings. He became disappointed when he found out why she had done it. Ava felt guilty for using him that way.
