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

Xander was delighted to see Abigail cook something for him personally. He couldn’t wait to taste the food. But his entire mouth began to burn the moment he drank the spoonful of soup. He resisted the impulse to gasp. 


Xander moved his eyes to her. The excitement in her eyes stopped him to give the actual feedback on her cooking. She had tried to cook for the first time in her life. He didn’t want to disappoint her. 


He mustered a smile, despite the burning sensation of his tongue, and replied, “Not bad, not bad…” 


“Really?” Abigail’s smile grew wider with excitement. She took the opposite chair and put some meatballs on his plate, “Taste these too.” 


Xander smiled awfully and nodded. Then he observed the meatballs carefully. Those looked nice though. Driving his concerns away from his heart, he took the meatball and ate it. He felt like chewing rubber.
