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

When Abigail woke up the next morning and opened her eyes, she saw Xander sitting on the couch like a king with one leg on another and his hands on his thighs. His eyes were centered firmly on her. 


Abigail's sleepiness was not gone fully. She blinked quite a few times, trying to figure out if he was real or not. Her lips curled up slowly, and she muttered in a trance, “You look so real.” 


Xander had been waiting for her to wake up for a couple of hours. He initially thought of waking her up, but he didn’t do that after noticing her sleeping so peacefully. 


However, when he saw her open her eyes and spout nonsense, he became angry. 


“Are you dreaming?” He exclaimed, his expression somber. 


The smile on her face froze and her eyes widened in shock. She sat up frantically and peered at him incredulously, “When did you come back?” 


“A couple of hours ago.” His tone was harsh with a tinge of irritation. The frown on his face was still there. “You sleep like a log.”
