❝ If love is blind then he won't mind if you feel the writing of braille on my heart, for what you feel is far more important than what is visible to the eye. ❞ *** Claret does not know what love is. Her parents are only names, family is just a concept, as is the word love. She understood prejudice, because she had never been eye-captivating and people did not want to love a girl without a future. One day she gets hired -out of pity- to take care of an ill boy coming from the Khan household, a well-known and wealthy family of three; Kaden Khan, an only child. Kaden became blind at the short age of twelve and has since been through multiple operations to get back his eyesight, none of which succeeded. Now, faced with a person without sight, she can finally be heard by someone who will see her true self inside; the eyes of vanity and prejudice will finally be locked up. Perhaps a future isn't something so far fetched, now. ------ tinyelephantsteps © || all rights reserved
