Dorothy dreamed Amanda taunted her with that typical snooty tone of hers, "See, even if I killed your mom, you couldn't do a thing about it!"
Every time, that nightmare jolted her awake, leaving her staring at the ceiling until dawn's early light.
"I really thought you two were inseparable," Karen confessed after seeing the Bay Residence listing marked as 'sold'. That was when she began to believe their story was coming to an end.
Dorothy pondered for a moment, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Truth be told, right from the start, I felt we were never meant to be."
Such a vast chasm between them, so many hurdles; how could it last with only Everett hacking through the brambles alone?
"Let's drop the gloom and doom! From now on, I won't even mention that name around you. Besties forever, right? So, let's put this behind us. Are you dropping by after work?"
"Not today, got plans."
The last thing Dorothy wanted was another uncomfortable run-in with Jeffrey after their last bitter encounter.
"Alright then, you're busy; I won't keep you."
"Alright."
After hanging up, Dorothy noticed several WhatsApp messages from Stephen.
Stephen: [Ms. Sanchez, I came across a few points in the due diligence files that I'm unclear about. Would you be able to clarify?]
Dorothy frowned slightly but replied: [Send them over.]
Stephen: [It's a bit complicated. I think it might be easier to discuss in person. Can I swing by your office?]
Her office? Dorothy definitely wouldn't agree to that.
[Wait for me at Austin's office, I'll come to you.]

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...
