Just another night in the city, Karen was tossing and turning on the plush hotel bed and was unable to find sleep.
Her mind was spinning with how she'd break the news to Kenneth, who was still waiting on his passport, all eager to come over to Swevia. What a mess it would be when he arrived to find Everett and Dorothy were doing just fine. He’d be so embarrassed.
After much deliberation, Karen forced herself to dial Kenneth's number.
He picked up a few rings later.
"I was just getting Langston ready for his bath when I heard the phone. What's up? Everything okay with Dorothy?"
"Yeah, she's fine," Karen murmured, her lips pursing in discomfort. "Um, Kenneth, how's the passport thing going?"
Kenneth paused as he sensed something amiss. "I've submitted the application and taken a new photo. You knew it, but why asking again?"
"I just think... maybe you should hold off on coming here. Dorothy's doing well, and the Lopezes haven't given her any trouble."
There was silence on the other end. Though Kenneth said nothing, Karen could feel his disappointment.
"Kenneth, Dorothy said she’d be back in a month. Save yourself the trip, okay? I'm planning to stay until she's settled, and then I'll head back too."
Both cousins knew that no one would dare hurt Dorothy anymore ever since Everett has been brought back to consciousness.
It took an eternity before Kenneth's voice came through softly. "Alright, I won't come. Just take care of her."
"I will."
After hanging up, Karen felt something heavy in her mood, something uneasy and sad she couldn't quite pinpoint.

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...
