My Love Is Blind

Chapter 1

"Hello. Julia, where are you?"

"Papa, I'm on my way home. You don't have to worry, okay?"

"Are you sure, dear?"

"Yes, papa. I am."

"Okay, dear. Your mom and I are expecting you. Love you."

"Love you too, Papa. Bye," she replied hanging up.

Julia was smiling over her dad's constant worry about her. She has always been her daddy's little girl and would want to keep it that way, even if it meant getting married to Jeremy Walker whom she had no feelings for, all to keep her dad's company from crumbling.

The sky was starting to frown with thickening clouds, the trees swaying in the wind, which was bound to happen, considering it was spring.

Julia wished the rain would wait till she got home because she hated driving during a downpour. However, by the looks of it, her wish wouldn't come true as the rain could suddenly start, which caused Julia's mood to dampen. To add to that, her car suddenly broke down.

"Please, don't do this now," she muttered trying to make the engine roar back to life, but sadly, that didn't happen.

She picked up her phone and tried calling her dad to let him know what had befallen her so he would send a chauffeur over and also to give directions to the chauffeur who would come pick her up, but there was no signal due to the present condition of the weather.

"Great, just great!" She exclaimed already annoyed.

Julia decided to go see if she could find any mechanic around instead of just sitting in her car and hoping for a miracle. So, she got out of the car and started with the hopes of finding one. She was on the outskirts of the city and wasn't familiar with the environment.

After walking for quite some time, the downpour started, Julia was so confused because she was far from her car now and didn't know if she should go back to the car or seek shelter at the house that was in her view. She pondered on her options for some seconds before deciding to go with the latter option. So she ran to the house, knocking on the front door but got no answer.

Julia was frightened by the crash of the thunder and rushed into the house. After recovering from the shock, did she realize that she had already entered the house uninvited. She noticed the living room, it was a nice modern living room with a couch, a love seat, two armchairs, a glass coffee table, and an LED TV with a fireplace just below it. There were occasional tables on each side of the fireplace with side lamps on each of them. On the wall were framed pictures of nature, this person sure has a thing for nature, she thought to herself as she couldn't take her eyes off the beautiful pictures.

"Who's there?" Julia heard someone say.

The voice startled her and at the same time sent shivers down her spine. She wondered why she felt excited just by hearing the sound of this stranger's voice. It was a deep masculine voice with an English accent. Julia turned towards the direction of the voice and her eyes were met with a charming male. He had light brown hair, thick eyebrows, a pointed nose, kissable lips, and stubbles which she instantly fell in love with. But what captivated her most, were his bright blue eyes which she could get lost in. His 6ft1 statue made him even more perfect, she would say he looked like a Greek god, but with the accent, she would settle with him being a charming prince.

"Who is it?... Tyler is it you?" The guy said bringing Julia out of her daydream.

His question made her nervous but at the same time, she wondered why he was asking such a question when she was only a few feet away from him. She was shaking not only because she was nervous but also because she was cold after getting wet from the rain. She took a deep sigh, finding some kind of strength before speaking up.
