My Blind Fiancée

Daria pretended to cry, hoping to use what was happening to play the victim in front of Mateo. He covered her with his jacket and led her out of the restaurant.

“I’ll take you to your apartment so you can change, and then if you still want to, we can go out for dinner.”

“Thank you, I’ve never been so embarrassed,” she said, pouting. Mateo didn’t believe that innocent girl look suited her.

They arrived at Daria’s apartment, and he waited in the living room while she went upstairs to change. After a while, he heard her calling him, so he went upstairs and entered the bedroom. She was covered only with a small towel. She approached him, looked into his eyes, and let the towel drop. Mateo admired her body; she had everything and a little more in all the right places.

“How about we have some fun instead?” she said in a sexy tone as she approached him.

Mateo was about to respond, but she gave him a passionate kiss, and he, instead of responding, pushed her away.

“Wait,” he quickly invented something so she wouldn’t think he was rejecting her.

“Don’t you like me?” Daria said while pretending to be on the verge of tears.

“It’s not that, on the contrary, I’m really into you. I just want to take it slow. I don’t want you to become just another one,” he said, hoping she would believe him.

“You’re amazing. I know I’ll be very happy by your side,” she pretended to be happy, although deep down, she was about to explode. Who did Licciardi think he was to reject her?

“Get dressed, I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

“How about we order food and watch a movie instead?”

“That sounds good.” Mateo quickly left the room.

After a few hours, he left the apartment and headed home. He felt exhausted; it was very difficult for him to endure the shallowness of that woman. In the past, he wouldn’t have hesitated to accept her advances, despite her vulgarity, she had a great body. But in his mind, the image of Ava appeared at every moment, preventing him from thinking about touching another woman besides her.

Upon arriving at the mansion, Guido was waiting for him in the living room, and his expression showed that he was quite upset.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

“What does all this mean?” he asked in a serious tone.

“What are you talking about, Grandfather?” he pretended not to know, although he already had an idea.

“About this,” he said, showing him the pictures on his phone, which showed him with Clara and Daria with their breasts exposed.

“Grandfather, it’s not what it looks like,” he tried to explain, even though the pictures made things look much worse than what had actually happened.

“You’ve gone back to your old ways; I thought you had changed,” he trembled as he spoke, his grandson would never change.

“I was with Ava, and it didn’t seem to please you. Now I’m with another woman, and it still doesn’t. I don’t know what you want.”

“I want you to stop causing these scandals; that’s what I want. These pictures from yesterday and now this. You seem determined to be in the headlines for the wrong reasons. Our family is well-known in this country and beyond. You’ll ruin our reputation.”

“You know I’m old enough to not need your consent regarding my behavior,” he said. He didn’t accept Ava and felt entitled to meddle in her life, unaware that Guido was the one responsible for her leaving. He had made unpleasant comments about Ava on several occasions.

Saying this, he went up to his room, leaving his grandfather with words left unspoken. He wouldn’t stay in the mansion anymore; he had a penthouse in a building near the corporate headquarters. He packed some things, placed them in a suitcase, and minutes later, he left, leaving Guido with a sad look.

It had been a month since Ava had left. Things with Daria were going as planned, and soon he would try to convince her to help him obtain Teodoro’s files.

Meanwhile, Ava had become close friends with Tadeo. She was in communication with the Swiss doctor, and as soon as her baby was born, she would travel to Switzerland. She was determined to do whatever it took to regain her sight. Tadeo would accompany her, and she had not yet told the detective about her pregnancy, but she would eventually.

She missed Mateo every day. At first, her determination to regain her sight was driven by her love for him, but she now felt the pain of realizing she had been wrong about his feelings. Her strength to move forward came from her son and her desire for revenge. Teodoro had to pay for what he had done to her parents, sooner or later.

An engagement was the talk of the day. Newspapers and news broadcasts announced that the Italian tycoon Mateo Licciardi was engaged to the beautiful Daría Coswell, a Northern woman living in Milan. Guido didn’t agree with his grandson’s choice but accepted it, hoping that Mateo would finally settle down and leave his wild ways behind. On the front page, Mateo and Daría were seen smiling.

Akiro found himself in Mateo’s office, and as soon as he read the news, he rushed there, realizing the huge mistake his friend was about to make.

“Brother, are you sure about what you’re doing? It’s a significant step you’re taking.”

“I am. Announcing the engagement has given Daría enough confidence in me. Now is the time to ask her to copy Teodoro’s files. She will hand them over to me herself. As for that man, I’ve made him believe that because of the relationship he had with his assistant, I’ve agreed to everything he asked for. He’s very confident; he thinks he has me completely in his hands. What a surprise he’ll have when I manage to gather all the evidence against him.”

“It will be a humiliation for her, what you plan to do after she gives you the documents. It seems that this girl loves you. You shouldn’t give her false hope.”

“She loves my money; that’s different. She’s known for sleeping around to climb the ladder. I had her followed, and what a surprise I got. She’s with me, and then she’s with someone else behind my back. When I asked her to wait before being intimate, she gladly accepted. The reason was that someone else took her desires away. She’s quite a piece of work. You have no idea how many men she sleeps with.”

“Then she deserves whatever is coming,” Akiro replied, realizing he had been mistaken about that girl, thinking she loved Mateo.

“I’ll figure out how to come out of all this unscathed and not be painted as the bad guy. I hope everything goes according to my plans.”

Mateo had everything meticulously planned. If Daría were a different kind of person, he might feel guilty about using her. However, he knew perfectly well that she wasn’t worth it. She believed she was using him to get rich, but as soon as he fulfilled his purpose, she would be in for a big surprise. She had chosen the wrong victim; she had picked the wrong prey.

“Have you found any leads on Ava?”

“Nothing. It’s been eight months since she left, and I haven’t found a single clue. I had the detective watched, but there’s nothing. He’s been followed for a few months, and he usually goes from work to his home, but we can’t find anything connecting him to Ava. Now he’s out of the country. I don’t understand how Ava could forget about taking down her uncle after what he did to her parents. Not knowing about her is driving me crazy.”

“But you’re determined to bring him down. You have to be careful; the guy is dangerous. I’ve heard he operates in the underworld, so he must have dangerous associates.”

“That’s right. For my family and for her, I’m going to bring him down. As long as Teodoro is free, they’ll be in constant danger.”

“I’ll pick up Daría from the airport this afternoon. Her parents insisted she travel to the United States to visit them and buy her wedding dress there. We haven’t even had the engagement party, and they’ve already bought the dress. She’s a difficult woman to endure. I can already imagine the dress she’s going to buy. She doesn’t have an ounce of class, unlike Ava.” He couldn’t help but sigh as he remembered her.

Mateo arrived at the airport, and shortly after, he saw Daría heading toward him with a big smile on her face.

“My love, I’m back. My parents send their regards; they’re dying to meet their son-in-law.”

Mateo approached her, and the woman gave him a passionate kiss. A passing reporter snapped a photo of them; they were the couple of the year. Everyone was surprised because finally, a woman had managed to capture him. It seemed that, after all, he didn’t like men as had been reported countless times.
