The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 1281

Kenneth couldn't shake off the despair he felt in the hospital, and Lane couldn't forget the shame the world had thrown his way for so long.

All thanks to Everett!

Kicked out like a stray dog, without even a sliver of a chance to turn things around, firmly under Everett's heel.

How could he rid himself of this hatred unless Everett met his demise?

"That would be for the best."

Kenneth could finally let go.

No more rummaging through the house for some antidote.

By the sounds of it, Lane's hiding spot was well concealed.

...

The past few days, the media had been both busy and thrilled.

The CEO of Lopez Corporation had been in the hospital for nearly a week and, with no news leaking out, it only spelled out that the situation was dire!

"Rumors have it that Mr. Everett Lopez is also involved in a gruesome murder case, having been to the police station for questioning before. Whether this is related to his current critical condition remains unknown!"

"Everett, so young, might leave this world, leaving us questioning the future of Lopez Corporation. Can the business legend continue?"

Outside, reporters faced the cameras, spinning all sorts of speculations and guesses.

Dorothy, dressed as a nurse and masked, sneaked a peek outside.

Quite the spectacle, indeed!

"My darling girl, worrying so much for me?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"My bad, I should've explained in more detail! When the time comes, you just need to cry, Kevin will be in on it, and you, Jeffrey, will just handle the grieving. Say nothing, and my 'death' will remain mere media speculation."

Dorothy paused, "...I didn't realize that was an option."

"Can you be happy now? No more sighs." Everett pulled her into his embrace, deepening his voice, "Even if I truly lost Lopez Corporation, trading it for the antidote, I would. I'm only trying to minimize losses within what's feasible, without considering whether I should or shouldn't."

The antidote was non-negotiable.

"Lopez Corporation is your life's work; I don't want you to lose it because of me..."

"The company is my life's work, yes, but you, you are my life." His lips curved, kissing her forehead, then trailing down to her lips, "Which do you think is more important?"
