The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 559
"Please, can you just give me a break?" she pleaded.
She had never witnessed Everett in such an assertive and unyielding demeanor. That scared Dorothy a bit.
Finally, sensing the tremor in her voice, Everett's resolve softened. Clenching his jaw, he pulled her into his arms after a moment of hesitation.
Both drenched in sweat, they lay in the darkness of the unlit night. They panted heavily as their heartbeats were syncing up in an unspoken understanding.
Neither Dorothy nor Everett spoke again. But the answer they were both seeking had already silently revealed itself.
After holding her for a while, Dorothy ventured softly, "Do you... want me to draw you a bath?"
"What's really got you trapped, Dorothy?"
He couldn't fathom it, nor could he imagine what his parents could possibly hold over her head.
But she remained silent.
"I promise I'll keep Abigail and Langston safe. There won't be any slip-ups. And from now on, my folks won't get a chance to corner you alone again. Okay?"
Dorothy steadied herself and mustered a smile, "It's not about any of that! I trust you to protect our children, and as for your parents... I hardly ever see them."
"Are they using Kenneth's safety to threaten you? Or is it Karen?"
Everett was stubborn. He was determined to guess the reason.
He had spent the day alone in the hospital room, turning over every possibility in his mind. He concluded that, if Dorothy would just let him, he could take care of all her troubles and concerns. He'd even go as far as hiring protection for Kenneth, his rival, if that's what it took!
"No, your parents didn’t threaten me."

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...
