Stealing Your Heart

Reality and imagination intertwined into a hot mess as she reverted to her primal instincts to own him for the night. All logical thought left her, and all that was left was a shell acting on its own volition.

The passion and attraction engulfing made her sink deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, she heard him say, “I missed you so much.” Unwittingly, tears brimmed her eyes as she felt a hand caressing her belly nonstop.

She surrendered herself to his arms as he kissed her incessantly. He had the power to drive away all her fear, and as a result she fell into a peaceful sleep.

The next morning, Lin Xinyan turned around and tried to hug him, but all that was left was a cold, empty space beside her.

She slowly opened her eyes and realized that the other side of the bed was left untouched, it was clear that no one was around. Even so, what she experienced last night felt so real to her.

She felt that she wasn’t dreaming last night because of how familiar the voice and the scent were. She quickly got out of bed and opened the bathroom door but no one was inside. Maybe he isn’t here anymore. She hurried to the kitchen and heard a sound. Is that him?

Almost running towards the kitchen, she blurted out, “Zong…”

However, before she could say the name, she saw that the person in the kitchen wasn’t the man she desired. Instead, it was Qin Ya.

Qin Ya came back early in the morning and went to cook something because she was hungry. She asked when she saw that Lin Xinyan was still wearing her pajamas, “You just woke up? I have made some noodles. Would you like some?”

Lin Xinyan regained her senses and ruffled through her messy hair. Was I hallucinating? She turned around to catch a better view of the whole house and noticed nothing abnormal.

How did he appear in the middle of the night?

She rubbed her temples to calm herself down. I must’ve hallucinated. How could he even have showed up in my room?

That doesn’t make any sense at all. Even if he managed to find me, it’s impossible for him to slip into my room without a trace.
