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.”
…………..
Charles Shaw is the assistant of Aidan Thompson, the CEO of Thompson’s and Co. But he eventually turned out to be the heir of a multi-billionaire business empire. While working under Aidan, he encountered Abigail Mills, the fiancee of Aidan. Abigail loved Aidan for five years, and she always dreamed to be his wife, but Aidan treated her only as a trophy to be decorated in his house. She was gorgeous, perfect to be the daughter-in-law of the Thompson family. 
He was a workaholic, never had time for Abigail. Whenever she asked him to accompany her, he sent Charles in his place. Initially, Abigail hated Charles from the core of her heart. She didn’t want him to accompany her, but Charles never could refuse his boss, and he quietly followed Abigail, despite his unwillingness. 
Eventually, they both started developing feelings for each other but never expressed it. Meanwhile, Charles learned about the conspiracy of Aidan against Abigail and her family. He wanted to inform her about Aidan’s scheme. However, Aidan and his men killed him before he could reach her. Everyone thought that he died, but he came back after one year with a new identity. What will he do with Aidan? Can he express his love to Abigail this time? Can Abigail recognize him and fall for him again? Or will they fall apart?

Mr. Reid's Sweetheart

Upon his return to the room, Xander discussed the problem facing the overseas branch with his father and the vice president of that branch by video conference. Their meeting lasted for more than an hour. After that meeting, he freshened up and went to dinner at the restaurant. 


He didn’t get time to hang out with the people he brought with him ever since they landed here. He thought of chilling out with them, especially with Abigail. He was in a good mood after hearing Lilian’s words. Now he was confident about winning Abigail’s heart easily. Just that he needed to force her a little so that she could reveal her true feelings for him. With this thought, he went to the restaurant with Riley. A faint smile was never leaving his face. 


Riley also noticed his smile, and he couldn’t control himself from asking, “You seem happy. What is the matter?” 


Xander glanced at him and didn’t reply. The smile on his face only grew wider.
