My Blind Fiancée

Mateo gradually regained consciousness. He tried to move but couldn’t. He realized he was tied to a chair. He heard Ava’s desperate screams and turned to look in the direction they were coming from, fearing the worst.

Teodoro’s men were systematically killing his bodyguards one by one. He could see that they were bound hand and foot. He hung his head, feeling helpless. Offering them the same food they had brought to him had definitely been a very bad idea.

All his friends were also tied up and grouped in the same area, while he was left isolated, facing the others.

Tadeo, Camila, Morgana, Ima, and Ava struggled desperately, trying to loosen the ropes that kept them immobile. Mateo scanned the area for Max and Akiro but couldn’t find them. He assumed that Miller had also killed them, and a deep pain surged within him.

The kids were gagged, except for Ava and Mateo. Teodoro grinned cynically when he noticed that Mateo had reacted.

“Well, well, look who has awakened, none other than the great Mateo Licciardi.”

“Release them, you imbecile,” Mateo shouted in rage.

“You’ve awakened just in time to see what I’m going to do to your lovely lady.”

He approached Ava, gripping her chin tightly.

“My dear niece, you played with me for quite some time, made me look like a fool. I fell in love with Gracia while you were having your fun behind my back.”

“Unfortunately, that’s what you are, a fool who couldn’t recognize his own niece,” Ava spat at him, and he tightened his grip on her chin.

“You attracted me, but in a way, your presence annoyed me. It reminded me of my idiot cousin. You were a damn blind fool who only got in my way. I should have gotten rid of you a long time ago. I would have spared myself all of this. You have no idea how much I enjoyed finally getting rid of your father. The bastard never missed a chance to throw in my face everything he had achieved. He pretended to care about me, but I know he wasn’t sincere. That day, I made a little calculation error. You survived the accident.”

“You damn monster! How could you murder my parents, my… more than a cousin? Because you were younger, he cared for you like a son. He took care of you since your parents’ death. He only wanted to make a decent man out of you.”

Listening to Teodoro relish the memory of the day he killed her parents filled Ava with intense pain.

“Shhhh, dear, you have no idea what I have in store for you. You’ll want to die soon, but I won’t grant you that. First, I’ll have some fun with you. Don’t worry, Licciardi, I’ll let you watch while I do it. Then I’ll let my men do as they please with her.”

Mateo paled upon hearing that, even more so when he remembered his son. He looked around, but couldn’t see him. He hoped that Lola had been able to escape in time with the little one. That man was completely deranged, and Mateo felt himself going mad in the face of all this.

“Let her go, Miller, and I’ll give you my fortune in exchange,” Mateo was willing to give up everything to ensure Ava’s safety.

“Your generous contribution won’t be necessary, Licciardi. My dear niece will sign over her fortune to me. I’m aware that my dear cousin left her a substantial amount in a bank account.”

Mateo was about to ask about Max and Akiro, but if the deranged Teodoro had caught them, they would be there with them.

Teodoro pulled a knife from his pocket, approached Mateo, and without hesitation, made a cut on the side of his face. Ava, in desperation, pleaded for him to stop. Teodoro grinned macabrely as he saw blood stain his hated enemy’s face. Then he turned to Ava.

“So, niece, will you sign? Or should I continue decorating your beloved Mateo’s face?”

“I’ll sign whatever you want, just let him go.”

“Haha, very well, I’ll let him go for now. There’s nothing more manageable than a love-struck woman.”

Mateo’s face was covered in blood, and his eyes were filled with anger. How he wished he could dismantle Miller with his own hands.

Tadeo approached Ava and forcefully kissed her. She felt nauseated and began to vomit on him.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“You stupid girl, look what you’ve done.”

“You’re a damn pig,” Teodoro raised his hand to deliver a strong blow to the girl’s face, and Mateo clenched his fists, feeling his anger growing.

“That will teach you. Now I’ll have to find something to change into. I imagine I’ll find something among your beloved Mateo’s clothes.”

He retreated to the area where the rooms were located, the six men who were with him stayed on guard. Fortunately, since he couldn’t pay them, most of his men had abandoned him. Among those who accompanied him, one was dressed as a waiter, and Mateo imagined that he was the one who put the sleeping pill in the food.

He prayed to God that Lola hadn’t thought of staying in the room with their son.

The guards were more focused on watching for anyone approaching. Mateo felt someone touch his arms, which were tied behind his back.

“What the…?”

“Shhh, it’s Akiro. I’ll try to free you by cutting the restraints. Máx has gone to get help. He took Lola and your son with him. Fortunately, we hadn’t eaten anything yet.”

He cut the ropes and then hid back inside the house. Mateo pretended to still be tied up. They had to act intelligently. They had been well trained in the military academy, but these men outnumbered them and were armed. Acting recklessly would lead them to death.

Teodoro’s men alerted him to approaching patrol sirens. He ordered them to shoot if they arrived and approached Ava with some documents.

Mateo imagined that it was Máx who had arrived with help. Miller became furious.

“So we’ll have to hurry things up, dear niece. I’m going to untie you so that you can sign these documents and hand over your fortune to me. You’ll be in trouble if you try to escape.”

The guards were focused on the approaching patrol cars. Mateo took advantage of the confusion to get up and attack Teodoro, who, realizing he was defeated, put his knife to Ava’s throat.

“Let her go, Miller!” shouted Mateo, clenching his fists, fearing that this madman would harm Ava.

“You think you’ve won, Licciardi. If I die, she dies with me. Today is the day of her death.”

Ava took advantage of Teodoro’s distraction and hit him in the stomach with her elbow. Mateo ran towards them, grabbing the arm holding the knife. Before he could remove it, Teodoro managed to make a small cut on Ava’s neck, and blood started to flow.

Mateo’s fury increased upon seeing the blood on Ava’s neck.

One of Teodoro’s guards approached, attempting to surprise Mateo, but he was stopped by Akiro, who quickly subdued him.

Mateo tried to grab the knife from Teodoro, who moved back abruptly, then thrust forward, plunging the knife into Mateo’s chest. Mateo couldn’t believe it and locked eyes with Ava as she screamed in despair.

“Hahaha, who would’ve thought, Licciardi, that today it would be your death that occurred,” Teodoro said, looking at Mateo with complete disdain. He felt an immense satisfaction within his chest.

Ava continued to scream in distress, trying to approach Mateo, but Teodoro stopped her by grabbing her arm tightly.

“Where are you going, little dove? You won’t do it, you won’t get close. Now, you’ll come with me. I couldn’t find your bastard, but if you resist, I will return to find him and get rid of him without hesitation.” The poor girl became even more terrified upon hearing this. Her son couldn’t fall into his hands.

At that moment, gunshots were heard. Máx had arrived with the police, which gave Ava the strength to defend herself. She bit Teodoro’s arm with all her might, and upon feeling the sharp pain, he immediately released her. She only thought of running to her beloved.

Teodoro was about to strike her to force her to go with him, but he saw two of his men being chased by the police. He ran towards a boat waiting on the beach and quickly distanced himself, without caring that he was leaving his men behind.

The police had brought an ambulance in case it was needed. Ava screamed in terror as she hugged Mateo. He no longer moved, having lost a significant amount of blood. He lay lifeless in her arms, and Ava’s clothes were completely soaked in blood.

The paramedics pulled her away from him so they could take him, and Akiro had to hold her tightly because she refused to let go. She continued to scream that Mateo was dead.
