"Fine, you've got three days. Don't play any tricks on me when the time comes!"
The man was about to hang up.
Quincy felt a sting of injustice. Why were so many guys willing to bend over backwards for Dorothy?
This was ten million dollars, not just a thousand! And to hand that over without any guarantee, he must really be smitten with Dorothy.
"Wait a sec! Can you at least tell me your name?"
"Why do you wanna know?"
"No big reason, just curious. We've made a deal after all, knowing your name isn't too much to ask, right?"
The man was silent for a few seconds, and just when Quincy thought he wouldn't divulge his name, he suddenly spoke up.
"Lane."
"What?"
"I said, my name's Lane."
...
As night fell, Everett hadn't returned.
Usually, if he wasn't home by this hour and hadn't gotten in touch, it meant he was probably out playing some charade with Quincy.
Dorothy wasn't upset, more contemplative than anything.
Another person, like Heather, had to get hurt before realizing they'd loved the wrong person, before understanding Everett was unattainable.
He would always stay by her side.
Abigail and Langston had finished their homework and were now chattering about their day at school, their lively banter bringing the house to life.

The readers' comments on the novel: The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires
Sometimes Karen can be such a drama queen and immature....
For some reason I am now feeling suspicious about Kevin's new girlfriend....
I really hope this Perdita person is not a new villain....
I too echoed the sentiments of pppplllleeeaaaassssseeeeee bring this drama to an end. I beg of you!...
Really please finish this book and upload the full story so it can end. It's been drugout for so long!...
The intimate scenes in this story or uncomfortable to read. They either come off as being forced, painful, or simply not enjoyable....
Okay I left a long while ago and came back. Looks like it's been updated but still not done lol. I'll maybe wait 6 months before coming back and it'll probably still be going on. It's like a soap opera instead of a novel...
Kenneth is confirming something I've been thinking about him for several hundred chapters ago and that is he is a future murder suicide perpetrator. And after reading chapter 1275 yeah it's just brought the thought back....
How could Jeffrey throw the knife down at the scene of the crime with both their fingerprints on there?...
Again no update, so is this where it ends? Or post the whole book. Your dragging this out...
