The Blind Billionaire's Hidden Genius Wife

My father didn’t look at me like a daughter; he looked at me like a bad loan he needed to settle. After five years of being nothing but a monthly expense on his ledger, I was shoved back into the Quinn mansion, smelling the expensive lavender that masked the rot beneath the floorboards. He slammed a prenuptial agreement onto the mahogany table and gave me a heartless ultimatum. "Sign it and marry Harrison Sterling, or I call the care facility in ten minutes and tell them to pull the plug on your mother's life support." My stepmother Lydia told me I should be grateful for this "future," while my stepsister Tiffany kicked a bag with her old, hideous wedding dress at my feet. They told me I was born for nothing but to pay off their debts. I was shipped off in the rain to the Sterling estate, a stone fortress where the housekeeper treated me like a servant and locked me in a pitch-black room. Inside, my new husband—a man rumored to be a blind, unstable monster—hurled a crystal glass at my head and tried to strangle me with his bare hands. I could feel the tremors in his grip and the sickly-sweet smell of neurotoxins on his breath. I realized then that Harrison wasn't the master of this house; he was a specimen in a jar, being systematically poisoned by his own family while cameras watched his every move. My own father had sold me into a death trap, thinking I was just a desperate girl with nowhere else to go. But they didn't know I had been living a double life as a medical prodigy who graduated from Johns Hopkins at nineteen. I pinned my "monster" husband to the floor, pulled a set of silver acupuncture needles from the hem of my dress, and made him a deal. "I’ll give you your eyes back, and in exchange, you help me burn both our families to the ground."

The garden was a maze of high hedges and stone statues. Sera pushed Harrison along the gravel path. It was "sun therapy"-part of her cover to get him away from the house's microphones.

Sophia is on the balcony, Sera murmured. She's watching us with binoculars.

Harrison didn't move his head. Is she?

Sera knelt down to adjust his blanket.

I analyzed the pill I stole. It's laced with a hallucinogen. Scopolamine and something else. It causes paranoia. Rage.

Harrison nodded. That explains the 'episodes'. They want to declare me incompetent. Take power of attorney.

We need to give them a show, Sera whispered. Make them think it's working.

Harrison grinned. It was a sharp, wolfish expression. I can do crazy.

Sera stood up. She suddenly screamed.

Harrison! Stop!

She threw herself backward onto the grass.

Harrison began to shout. He swung his cane wildly, decapitating a tulip.

Get away from me! They're everywhere! The spiders!

He thrashed in the chair, looking genuinely deranged.

Up on the balcony, Sophia lowered her binoculars. She smiled. A cold, satisfied smile. She picked up her phone.

It's progressing, she said into the receiver. He's losing it.

Down in the garden, guards came running. They "restrained" Harrison.

As a maid rushed over to help Sera up, she pressed a piece of paper into Sera's hand. Sera's fingers brushed against the girl's and she felt the distinct shape of a small, cold metal pin-a silver wolf's head, the sigil Harrison had told her to watch for. The maid's eyes, though frightened, gave a single, deliberate nod before she fled.

Back in the bedroom, with the door locked, the adrenaline faded.

You're a good actor, Sera said.

Harrison adjusted his cuffs. I learned from the best. What was that paper?

Sera unfolded the note. Her blood ran cold.

Midnight. The old fountain. I know who really killed your mother.

Sera's heart skipped a beat. Her mother had died of a stroke. Or so she thought.

What is it? Harrison asked. He heard the crinkle of paper.

Nothing, Sera lied. Just a receipt I dropped.

Harrison turned his head. He knew she was lying. He could hear the change in her heartbeat. But he didn't push.

Are you going? he asked.

Going where?

To wherever that note told you to go.

Sera looked at him. I have to.

Be careful, Harrison said. The garden at night... accidents happen.

I was ambushed in my guardian's Hamptons estate by his son's fiancée, Kaitlyn. Accusing me of being a homewrecker, she and her friends began live-streaming my public humiliation.

They shattered the last photo of my parents and then, after I groveled, crushed my mother's locket under their heels anyway. My world was a blur of pain and confusion. Julien was like a brother to me. Harvey, his father, was my legal guardian. The accusation made no sense. Just as they were about to strip me naked for their audience, Harvey arrived, his face a mask of thunder. But the real shock came later, when a terrified Kaitlyn confessed the truth. The attack wasn't about jealousy. It was a calculated act of revenge for a decades-old family feud, and Harvey's own son, Julien, was the secret mastermind who had set me up to be destroyed.
