Story

The story

Olivia is an orphan adopted by a wealthy family, but the youngest son, Tyler, pushed her down the stairs and left her nearly blind. To survive, she pretends she can see nothing at all. The family sends her to a suburban villa with money, and she lives quietly there—until an assassin breaks in and, finding her blind, spares her. A strange cohabitation begins: he comes and goes, sometimes cooks, and she, as the landlord, teases him shamelessly, coaxing him into letting her touch his body.

Then Tyler kicks open the villa door, demanding she leave the house his parents gave her. He shoves her down and kicks away her cane, claiming everything as his own. Olivia keeps her eyes lowered—but the assassin is still somewhere near, and she is not as helpless as she seems.
