Dorothy found herself abandoned outside the hospital, her gaze locked on the relentlessly closing doors. A lock clicked into place, sealing off her hopes as she lay powerless on the cold ground.
Her heart swelled with frustration, cursed her helplessness, and loathed her inability to do anything in that critical moment.
In her relationship with Everett, Dorothy had always been the passive one, while Everett, the gallant hero, had always been the one to shield her from the storms of life.
As dusk turned to night, the sky darkened ominously.
The evening breeze grew stronger, carrying the earthy scent of an impending downpour.
Soon, the rumble of thunder rolled through the air!
Dorothy's eyes remained fixed on those closed doors. They seemed to draw a clear line between two worlds.
No one could come out and she couldn't go in.
Giant raindrops began to fall, driven by a biting wind, washing away the dried blood on Dorothy's skin and soaking her thin clothes.
Yet Dorothy stayed put, even mustering the strength to prop herself up, inching closer to the barrier that separated her from Everett.
This was as close as she could get to him.
Time lost meaning, and the rain's duration blurred into oblivion. Suddenly, the rain above her ceased.
Slowly, Dorothy looked up to find Kenneth standing beside her, shielding her with a vast black umbrella.
"Dorothy, let's head back," he urged.

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...
