See You, Blind World — Novel

About

In a world where love feels like a distant dream, Olivia Leander grapples with the suffocating weight of her family's expectations and the cruelty of her peers. Bullied relentlessly and dismissed by her mother, she finds herself trapped in a cycle of despair. The harsh words of her uncles echo in her mind, a constant reminder of her perceived failures. As she hangs on the brink of hopelessness, will she ever find a way to break free from the chains of her family's misguided love?

When the darkness closes in, Olivia's only solace comes from her little brother, Oliver, whose innocent kindness offers a fleeting glimpse of hope. But with her family's harsh methods of "tough love" escalating, Olivia's struggle becomes a battle for survival—not just against her physical pain, but against the emotional scars that threaten to consume her.

Can Olivia reclaim her voice amid the chaos, or will the blind world around her continue to dictate her fate? As she navigates the treacherous waters of family loyalty and personal identity, the question remains: how far will she go to find the light she so desperately seeks?

See You, Blind WorldChapter 1

Bullied by classmates and called a loser by my mother.

In desperation, I committed suicide due to depression.

My father, Richard Arnouts, helped me to take a leave of absence from campus, but the three of my uncles opposed it.

"You guys are spoiling her, that's why she's so pretentious."

"Just hang her upside down to the balcony and starve her for three days and nights!"

I desperately begged for mercy, but my family ignored me.

My mother's words "It's all for your own good" explained everything.

I was finally relieved when I was lying on the ground injured, I could not take care of my younger brother, who was burned and disfigured.

"Mom, if I die, I'm no longer a loser, right?"

——

"Dad, Mom, I'm dying, please put me down ..."

The feeling of hanging upside down was so uncomfortable. My brain was congested, my eyes hurt so much and I felt like I was suffocating.

"Did you hear that? I've already started begging for mercy."

"Depression and suicidal thoughts are all bullshit!"

My uncles drank and laughed, completely ignoring my pleas for mercy.

"You guys are spoiling her, that's why she's so pretentious."
