“Ephraim said he's not afraid, that he's going to do justice! We've signed the contract of engagement, and if he reneges on it, it's a breach of contract.”
A law firm reneging on a deal? That would be a public relations disaster.
They’d never risk taking such a step.
“Ah, well, at least you’ve got a lawyer on board,” Kenneth said, his brow furrowing with concern but ultimately letting the matter be. “Anyway, how about Karen? I’ve been trying her number, but no answer. Is she still sleeping?”
Dorothy hesitated for a moment, clearing her throat before responding.
“Well… she, uh, she and Jeffrey are back together.”
“What?”
“Kenneth, I get it—you’re worried Jeffrey might break her heart again. To be honest, I wasn’t his biggest fan at first either, mainly for that reason. But after everything that's happened, I think Jeffrey’s serious this time. And Karen really does like him.”
At the end of the day, Karen's feelings for him were what mattered most.
Even if she tried to hide it, Dorothy could see it clearly.
Otherwise, why would Karen be so emotional? She’d tear up watching TV, get weepy over dinner, even let a few tears fall in the shower. Sure, hormones played a part, but it was more than that. She felt trapped, heartbroken, and couldn’t stand the thought of losing the little one growing inside her.
“That Jeffrey’s a playboy, Dorothy. He’s been around the block—trust me, I’ve asked around. My buddies say he's bad news!” Kenneth was, of course, protective of his cousin, and had done his own digging on Jeffrey.
What he found fueled his desire to see them split up for good!
And now, after all the drama of their breakup, they had reconciled?
“She knows all about his past,” Dorothy reassured him.
“So, I’m worried she’s been brainwashed! You know Karen—she melts at the sight of a good-looking guy, and damn it, Jeffrey is… well, he’s got that look.”

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...
