My Blind Fiancée

The expression on Ava’s face clearly showed that she was utterly terrified.

“Oh no, sir, I’ve heard about that on various shows. There’s no way I’m jumping from a height. I still have all my screws properly fastened in my brain, which allows me to think rationally.”

“Haha, so that means none of us are sane then.” Mateo found her response amusing.

“I don’t know, but it seems so.” She didn’t want to come across as rude; she was just being honest about what she thought of them.

Minutes later, Ava found herself wearing the harness.

“I don’t know how you managed to convince me.” Mateo and his friends definitely had a great power of persuasion.

“We’ll be tandem jumping again, so hold onto me tightly.”

Mateo told her just before they jumped. This time, Ava’s scream was much louder. Moments later, her body was rising and falling as she dangled in the air.

Fear quickly turned into adrenaline. Mateo was absolutely right. Just like when they jumped before, she felt more alive than ever.

When they were back on solid ground, Ava thanked Mateo.

“I have to thank you again. I didn’t think I could feel the way I do now.”

After the euphoria of the moment, she felt happy, fulfilled, alive.

“I’m glad to know you’re having fun.”

“It’s much more than that. I feel like I’m finally living. I was tired of being confined; it’s been so many years.”

“I truly am sorry.” He leaned in to kiss her gently, not caring that there were people around watching them. He had never shown public displays of affection to anyone before.

Akiro and Ima couldn’t believe what they were seeing, and neither could the rest of their extreme sports companions. Some of the girls there felt both envious and surprised. Mateo was a true Adonis, but despite their advances, he had never paid them any attention, making them think he wasn’t interested in women. That moment proved otherwise.

After returning to the village for breakfast, the van took them to where the helicopter was waiting. They flew to Milan with Ima and Aiko. Throughout the journey, Mateo held Ava’s hand, occasionally planting a kiss on it. Akiro still couldn’t believe it.

“Tonight will be spectacular. I’ve gone all out for the opening of this club. Even though it’s very similar to the one in Naples, I appreciate you coming with me, my friend.”

“You know I wouldn’t miss it for the world, buddy. I know how important it is to you.”

Upon arriving, they stayed in one of the most renowned hotels. Just like at the cabin, Mateo requested adjoining rooms for them. Ava found it strange that he had left after their arrival and hadn’t returned all afternoon. By dinner time, there was a knock on her door. She felt excited, thinking he had returned, but her heart sank when she opened it. It was room service, delivering the food Mateo had ordered.

As the night approached, Ava started to worry. What if something had happened to him? She hadn’t charged the special phone he had given her, and it was now dead. Shortly afterward, there was another knock on her door. This time, a girl holding several boxes stood there.

“Mr. Licciardi has sent me. I’ll help you get ready. He has chosen some things for you.” The girl seemed very kind.

“Place them on the bed, thank you. I’ll take a quick bath, be right back.”

She quickly took a shower and then opened a large box. Inside, she touched a soft and lightweight fabric – a dress.

“It’s a beautiful dress, miss. Mr. Licciardi has excellent taste.”

“Could you describe it, please?”

“Of course. It’s a pearl-colored dress with thin straps. It has a deep back neckline, and the fabric is silk. I’m sure it will accentuate your figure wonderfully.”

In another box, there were a matching pair of stilettos, and in a smaller box, a beautiful necklace and delicate earrings, along with a lovely bracelet.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“There’s also very fine lingerie in this box, miss.”

Ava held the lingerie in her hands and could feel that it was made of lace.

An hour later, she was ready. Just as the girl had described, the dress highlighted every curve of her body. Side slits revealed a portion of her fair legs, and the silk fabric cascaded gently, caressing her skin. As she put on the shoes, she realized they had a low heel – Mateo had thought of everything.

The girl lightly applied makeup, as Mateo had requested. Ava didn’t need heavy makeup to look good; her natural beauty shone through. The girl styled her hair in an updo to showcase the dress’s back neckline. Finally, Ava applied a touch of the perfume he had sent as well.

“You look spectacular, miss. Mr. Licciardi will be even more enamored.”

Ava blushed at the comment. Just as the girl was leaving, Mateo arrived. He was taken aback by how beautiful Ava looked – she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, and he wasn’t exaggerating.

“You look gorgeous. Shall we go?”

Ava turned to grab her purse, and Mateo was left speechless. When he saw the dress on the mannequin earlier in the day, he liked it so much that he hadn’t realized how revealing the back neckline would be.

Ava was at risk of catching a cold; the fabric was so lightweight that it accentuated all her curves. He was worried that she would spend the whole night trying to shield herself from the lecherous gazes of men who he was sure wouldn’t be able to stop staring at her.

Ava was tall, though not as tall as he was at 6’3″, with pronounced curves. Her breasts were well-sized, verging on large for her slender frame. He hadn’t noticed her fantastic figure because he always ended up mesmerized by those beautiful blue eyes.

He himself had a good physique; he had been into extreme sports since he was young, and he usually worked out daily. His body’s muscles were well-defined, and his blue eyes were lighter than Ava’s. His brown hair made him look younger than he was.

He certainly didn’t feel comfortable with the idea of taking her to that place. If Akiro wasn’t his best friend, he probably wouldn’t attend. For a moment, he considered making up any excuse to get out of it, but he couldn’t do that to his friend – Akiro was always there to support him.

He took Ava by the arm and led her towards the elevator. In the lobby, he noticed the reactions of the men there – they were looking at her with desire. In contrast, the women’s reactions were different; he could sense envy in their expressions.

The chauffeur was already waiting for them. They got into the car, and soon they arrived at the club. Before getting out, Mateo placed a black mask over Ava’s face. He put on a slightly smaller black mask that matched the custom-tailored suit he was wearing.

“Is this a costume party?” Ava asked innocently, unaware of what was going on.

“Something like that,” he replied with the first thing that came to mind, trying to avoid more questions from her.

The chauffeur opened the door for them. Mateo immediately put his arm around Ava’s waist, feeling her tensing up as she felt his touch. If only she knew that he felt the same way. Upon entering the club, he handed over a peculiar black card with golden letters. The massive guards stepped aside to let them pass.

Inside, the music wasn’t blaring; it was at a moderate volume, something Ava appreciated. She could hear that the place was seemingly packed – there were a lot of laughter and murmurs. The scent of tobacco lingered in the air.

As soon as they saw them, Akiro and Ima approached with big smiles on their faces.

“Hello, welcome to Akiro’s new club. We’ve arranged the best table for you, right in front of the dance floor.”

Mateo felt relieved knowing that at least Ava wouldn’t see what was happening on that dance floor.

“Thank you, my friend.”

“We hope you enjoy the evening, Ava.” Mateo shot Akiro a glare.

“Thank you, I hope so,” she replied with a smile. Poor girl had no idea about the kind of place she had stepped into.

Mateo kept adjusting his shirt collar repeatedly, a clear sign of how uncomfortable he felt. If Ava could see the decor of the place, he was certain she would run away.

The decoration was excessively exotic, with cages hanging all around, scantily-clad women moving sensually inside them. Everywhere he looked seemed to be screaming “sex, sex.” The attendees were millionaires and businessmen seeking to fill the void in their lives with intense sensations, and this was the right place to find them.

To gain membership for entry, a multitude of requirements were demanded, along with signing a confidentiality agreement and paying a hefty sum. Every member could bring a guest under their full responsibility.
