Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession

"Mrs. King, why is your face so red? Did you fall sick again?" Dr. Xiao stroked his old beard as he admonished Ella for half a day.

The old man only stopped reluctantly when Adrian came to stand beside Ella after finishing his phone call.

But still, Ella heard him mumble ’A sin! A catastrophic sin!’ under his breath.

Before Dr. Xiao left, he said, "For today’s session, I have already started the arrangements. Once you feel ready, we can start it in an hour."

Ella nodded to him, even as a layer of cold sweat covered her hands.

Suddenly, a warm hand wrapped around her own, "Nervous?"

Ella turned to Adrian. After a beat, she shook her head slowly, "Dr. Xiao’s treatment is rather unconventional so I just don’t know what to expect."

Adrian pulled her into his arms, "Expect me to be there."

Ella looked up at him with a smile, wondering how he managed to say something so cheeky with a straight face, "What else?"

"Anything else is needed?" Adrian raised a brow.

"Of course, how can you be enough..." The words had yet to leave her mouth when she was pinned against the cold wall.

And all the breath was knocked out of her lungs as Adrian captured her lips in a fiery kiss, in the middle of the desolate hallway.
