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

Xander’s caring nature completely baffled Abigail. She couldn’t figure out why he cared for her so much. She couldn’t restrain herself from asking, “Why do you like me? We hardly met only a few times.” 


Xander cracked a smile and wiped the tears off her cheeks, “You will know about it when you become my wife. I will tell you why I like you, and how much I like you.” 


Xander was telling the truth. He had already planned to reveal his identity to her on their wedding night. 


Abigail pulled her hands back and turned her head aside. Right now, she didn’t want to think about the marriage. Besides, she didn't decide whether to marry him or not. Charles' memory was still vivid in her mind. She couldn’t forget him at all, and Xander’s face didn’t let her forget Charles. How could she think of marrying him in that state? She couldn’t start her life with him who would only remind her about her incomplete love.
