After his encounter with Bella, Reid stepped out into the cool Texas night, the door closing behind him with a soft creak. Boris, his loyal head of security, waited for him outside, his expression a mix of confusion and concern. The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the farm."Boris," Reid began, placing a hand on his shoulder, "You stay here overnight. Watch over Bella. She and the child are my top priorities now."Boris furrowed his brow, his usual stoic expression reflecting his uncertainty. "But sir, what about your safety? Shouldn't I be with you?"Reid shook his head, a small smile playing on his lips. "Boris, my safety is of no concern tonight, I have the rest of the team with me. Bella needs protection, and I trust you with that task. Besides, I want you to get to know her. She'll be an essential part of my life."Boris blinked, trying to process the unexpected turn of events.

After Reid released her from his arms, after a few seconds Bella hurriedly retreated to her room, shutting the door behind her with a soft click. She slid down the door, her heart pounding erratically, emotions swirling like a tempest within her. Flustered and enticed by Reid's unexpected reaction, she needed a moment to collect herself. Her knees were still trembling, and her heart was beating really loudly.Rushing to the small ensuite, she splashed her face with cold water, attempting to regain control over her scattered thoughts. The cool water served as a balm, soothing the intensity of the moment. Leaning on the sink, she stared at her reflection in the mirror, still feeling the imprint of Reid's touch and his passion.

"I'm not joking, Bella."For a moment, she stood there, speechless, grappling with the enormity of his statement. When she found her voice, it was laced with incredulity."Why? Why would you want to marry me all of a sudden?"Reid met her gaze with unwavering intensity. "You're mine, Bella.
