The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 916
Everett, the CEO of Lopez Corporation, was not known for taking the humble road in love. Yet, here he was, head over heels for a woman for more than a decade, enough time for men like Jeffrey to father a soccer team’s worth of children...
“I can’t stand seeing fear in her eyes,” Everett admitted.
Everett had tried to be more assertive. He had thought about keeping Dorothy close, disregarding her personality and her fears, making her his and his alone. But all it took was a glimpse of panic in her eyes, and he was defeated.
No strategy could work against that.
“Man, you are totally whipped,” Jeffrey couldn’t help but admire, “Remember how I had to pull some crazy stunts to make Karen my wife? I was pretty proud of myself until I saw you. Next to you, I look like a brute, as if I don’t love Karen.”
“Karen and Dorothy are entirely different,” Everett pointed out.
Just by comparing their upbringing, the difference was night and day.
Karen was the apple of her parents’ eye. While Dorothy had carried the weight of her family on her shoulders from a young age.
“Everett, whenever I see how far you’re willing to go for Dorothy, it’s like you’re radiating motherly love,” Jeffrey teased. “I never imagined that capturing your heart required a damsel in need of saving.”
Everett frowned at him. “I only want to save her. Everyone else is irrelevant to me.”
...
This time Dorothy’s unconsciousness was different from any before.
It was as if the TV suddenly lost power, Dorothy was completely devoid of consciousness. When she woke up, she even thought she was still in the car, heading back to the hotel with Everett.
“How did I end up here?”
Trying to sit up, Dorothy noticed the IV needles in each of her arms. Her movement caused a bit of blood to backflow...
“Don’t move,” Everett gently pushed her back onto the bed, waiting for the blood to disappear before relaxing. “You fainted. The doctor said you need to eat well and rest.”
“How long was I out? What time is it?”

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...
