She wanted to punch him like last night, but she remembered what he did and refrained from doing so. Unable to do anything, she laid her head and accepted the comfort from the man who is the reason why she is crying.After a while, she calmed down from her embarrassment. She pulled away from him and stood up to her feet. She wanted to go as far away from him as possible. So she walked towards the door and opened it, only to find a maid standing outside holding the breakfast tray in her hands. For some reason, Mia doesn't want the maid to find out that Reed is inside her room."Miss, you missed your breakfast" the maid said.Mia gave the maid a small smile."Oh, yes. Thank you. I will take it from here" she mumbled and accepted the tray before closing the door.Mia sighed. She turned and glared at Reed who is now sitting on the bed while resting his hands behind his back."Get out" she snapped angrily.He gave a pointed look at the breakfast."Eat it" he commanded, making her grit her

The next morning, Mia woke up surrounded by warmth. The feeling of being safe washed over her, making her snuggle deeper into the warmth, seeking more safety, especially after her recent experiences. "Stop wiggling" Reed muttered. She is sleeping almost on top of him. One of her thighs is between his and her breasts are squished with his. When she is wiggling like a cat, her hard nipples are innocently rubbing over his torso, making him hard. When Mia heard his voice, her eyes snapped open and she came face to face with none other than Reed. Her head is resting on his naked torso, while she is snaking her arms around him like he is her favourite soft toy. "What are you doing in my room?" She asked with alarm and swiftly pushed away from him. Reed was already expecting this question. So he carried her to his room after he woke up this morning. "Well princess, I should be the one who is asking that question" he pointed out. Mia looked around the room which has black drapes, black

In the downtown, there is a huge 43-storey building with glass walls. It is so tall and intimidating. As the sun's rays are falling on the outer glass walls, the reflecting rays are giving an illusion that the building is blazing in silent fire. The name 'Carter's construction ' is written in bold letters outside the building.On the fortieth floor of that building is where Reed Carter's office is."Is she alright?" he asked Matteo, who works as his assistant in his legal company apart from being his underboss in his illegal company.Matteo doesn't have to ask about whom his boss is talking about. 'I cannot understand my boss's unhealthy obsession towards Miss Vitello. She hates his guts and he wants intel about everything she does. I don't know what he wants to do ' he thought to himself, but wouldn't dare to voice it out loud. He knows his boss would punish him for that."Are you sleeping, Matteo?" Reed snapped when his assistant did not reply to his query right away.Matteo snappe

Mia never thought she would be standing inside that dreaded basement again. She thought she is dreaming again. But the pain after her pinch proved that this is real. She is really standing in the middle of the Basement again. But this time she is not alone. Reed is standing beside her and Matteo is standing near the Basement door."What the..." she muttered.This is the same place where she was held, but at the same time, this is not. The basement where she was held was dark, dingy and dirty. But the basement she is standing now is a beautiful poly house with lots of Blooming flowers. The smell of soil abd the scent of Jasmine's is strong here.Mia cannot believe that this is the same place. No blood or the bodies here. Nothing that is making her feel nostalgic. She moved around the basement and found every inch filled with flowers. She sat on the ground, ignoring the mud. She remembered about how she suffered here in this very place. But now, this place changed beyond recognition. N

"Are you alright?" Reed asked Mia softly. It's been ten minutes from the time she stumbled into his lap. And she is still sitting there with his arms protectively wrapped around her waist.Mia sighed. She is feeling tired and sleepy. She ruled it off thinking that it must be because of work and disturbed sleep. Sometimes she still experiences nightmares, not as intense as they used to be. Those nights, she would slip inside his room and will sleep beside him. That helps a lot."I am fine, just a little tired and hungry" she muttered.Reed frowned. "You didn't eat your lunch yet?" he asked her. It was already ten past two in the afternoon and she didn't eat yet."Did you?" She countered.He was busy with work and did not think about his lunch."No" he muttered.Mia pulled back with a grin."Then let's go. I know a very good deli nearby. You will love their deep-roasted turkey sandwich" she said excitedly and pulled him along.When Matteo saw that his boss is going for lunch, he frown
