For days, Dorothy had barely eaten a thing, so when she was suddenly pulled into a warm embrace, she didn't have the strength to resist!
Before she could even see who it was, she heard a man's pained intake of breath—
She had accidentally bumped into his injured chest.
"Everett, you—mmph!"
Her protest was cut short as her lips were claimed in a fierce, punishing kiss.
Everett's kiss was desperate, biting, as if he was venting all his frustrations on her!
Tears sprung to Dorothy's eyes as she struggled, but she ceased her movements when she detected what seemed to be the metallic scent of blood.
He was so tall, she had to tilt her head back to meet his kiss.
"Why did you stop resisting?" Everett's voice was husky, like gravel scraping together.
"Let me go!"
"You care about my pain, don't you?"
"That's not it!"
Everett's eyes were clear and cold, his lips stained with blood, making them appear even redder. "I told you, you're not allowed to die."
"Yes, and here I am, alive, aren't I?"
"But you were about to jump!"
Dorothy's vision had cleared significantly, the illusions shattered by his presence, allowing her reason to partially return.
"I wasn't. I was just looking."
"I can't trust your words anymore. You're lying to me; you want to die. You want to leave me!" Everett's grip on her didn't loosen, pressing her close to him, even though it caused him immense pain.
He even thought the pain was good, a sign that both were still alive.
Dorothy slowly looked up at him, finally softening, exhausted.
"Everett, I think… I might be sick… I can't control my actions."

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...
