Abigail was pinned on the wall by a strong man, and she felt a sharp pain in her arms. “Let go of me. You are hurting me.” Tears started accumulating in her eyes, but she still stubbornly looked at the man’s eyes in a challenging way.
The man leaned over her. Their faces were inches away, and his hot breathing was fanning on her cheeks. There were many emotions in his deep green eyes which Abigail couldn’t decipher. After a span of silence, Charles opened his mouth and said, “You are not going anywhere. You are now mine; mine to love, and mine to torture.”

Mr. Reid's Sweetheart

“What? Why are you silent? Say something about him. I can’t wait anymore.” 


Lilian became impatient and poked her arm. 


“What do you want to know?” Abigail pulled her hands back and turned around. She pouted and said, “I don’t know anything about him.” 


“You don’t know anything!” Lilian was surprised. She walked around and stood in front of her. “How could that be?” She looked at her skeptically. “You stayed with him the whole night, and you know nothing about him. Didn’t you find out if he is Charles or not?” 


“No… He is not. He can’t be Charles. My Charles is not so shameless as he is. He is a hooligan, trickster…” 


Lilian interrupted her, and Abigail stopped talking abruptly while her mouth remained open. She realized she said something that she shouldn’t say in front of anyone. Pressing her lips tight, she lowered her head and said, “I mean, my… my friend Charles.”
