Chapter 1 Aren’t You Afraid of Death?

  • “Uhm… should I undress and get on the bed first or… help you undress first?” Cherise Shaw asked cautiously, standing at the bathroom door with her body wrapped in a towel.

  • It was her wedding night.

  • The wheelchair-bound man, who was blindfolded with black silk, would be her husband from now on.

  • This was her first time seeing him in person, and he was more good-looking than in pictures. The man had distinct facial features, with a sharp nose and thick eyebrows. His tall and slender figure matched the image of Cherise’s dream man. But alas, he was a disabled, blind man.
