Everett, I don't want to be a burden on you anymore! Go be the CEO you are meant to be, focus on your work, and don't make exceptions for me all the time. You know it makes me feel guilty.
She didn't want her relationship to be muddied with guilt or obligations.
Everett had already sacrificed so much for her in the past. Dorothy knew that standing shoulder to shoulder with him might be a far reach, but at least she didn't want to be the one holding him back.
I do what I do out of my own free will.
Mimicking his tone, Dorothy smiled and teased, Come on, be a sport, will you?
...
I promise you, I won't stay long. Just a few words with Heather and then I'll leave! She's at the end of her road now. If I don't go, I'll regret it once her sentence is carried out.
Throughout her life, Heather had always been competing with Dorothy, always trying to best her. Dorothy understood that a lot of Heather's resentment stemmed from their childhood experiences.
Her mother was the other woman, which inevitably led to Heather being the subject of gossip.
With Bella's scandal making rounds, Heather had to live a life of hiding from a very young age. It was normal for her to harbor some distorted form of hatred.
But now, everything was coming to an end. Her malice, her hatred, it was all drawing to a close.
Putting all that aside, as her sister, Dorothy wanted to be there for her in her final moments.
...
Even though Dorothy managed to convince Everett not to accompany her to the prison, she couldn't dissuade Karen Miller from joining her.
On the day they went to see Heather, Jeffrey Turner drove them, with Karen accompanying Dorothy.
Dorothy, she's on her deathbed. No matter what she says, don't take it to heart. I'm worried she might say something awful or try to scare you... Maybe we should just go shopping instead?
Karen feared what Heather might say, something along the lines of never resting in peace until she had her revenge.
Anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing that.
Soon, Heather appeared, supported by two guards on either side.
Dorothy was prepared, yet she couldn't help but be taken aback.
Heather had become so thin she was almost unrecognizable. Had Dorothy not known she was there to see Heather, she might not have recognized her at first glance.
Heather slowly lifted her head, her gaze murky, glanced at Dorothy, then sat down with the guards' assistance.
I bet you didn't expect this. I gave up my last chance to plead for myself to see you.
Typically, death row inmates would request to see their defense attorney during their second trial.
Dorothy pursed her lips, Because you knew there was nothing left to plead for.
The crimes announced in court, Heather was guilty of them all.
Heather chuckled, her short hair swaying with the motion, Dorothy, you and Everett must be very happy now.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Why didn't Jeffrey call Everett from the office? Lock his door instruct security to not let anyone in and speak to Everett on the phone? Or send him a text giving him a quick summary of what's up and that he's on his way over. That way when he runs into Heather on his way out he informs her Everett already knows....
