The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

plaintext

"Anything else?"

Everett frowned, clearly on his last nerve. "I'm swamped, don't have time for this."

"You really don't care if Dorothy makes it or not?"

"Have I not cared? You didn't let her die, did you?"

Everett stopped looking at her, opened the door, and called out, "Kevin, take her away."

"Sure thing, Mr. Lopez." Kevin hurried over with a grin. "Quincy, this way, please."

Quincy clenched her fists.

No need for any more testing.

Everett truly didn't love Dorothy anymore, or at least, not as much as before.

If he had flat-out ignored the antidote, one might guess he was putting on an act, pretending.

If he had agreed to replace Dorothy straight away, it could mean it was all a play, that he still cared for Dorothy.

But Everett did neither!

He was indifferent, even treating it as if it was just another business matter.

He wasn't entirely neglecting Dorothy's wellbeing, but he wasn't as desperate for the final cure as before.

"Mr. Lopez! Dorothy is the mother of your children, don't you care at all? Her health is failing; she might not last a few years even with regular doses!" "That's your concern, not mine."

Everett's final look said it all. "If Dorothy dies, the cops will investigate her death, and you'll be the one they're after, not me."

Kevin chimed in just in time, "After you, Quincy."

Dorothy didn't even know how she managed to get back to Bay Residence.

She felt like a walking corpse.

Because she had never imagined a day when Everett would truly stop loving her, truly move on.

Through all their breakups and makeups, Dorothy now realized she had been too confident, knowing deep down Everett would always be waiting, always come back for her.

But now.

He was truly gone.

Abigail and Langston hadn't come home yet; in this vast house, she was all alone.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The laughter and joy of the past were gone.

The dream she thought was given by fate was finally being taken back.

Dorothy's heart ached so much she couldn't stand straight! She could only curl up, squatting on the floor.

Watching her tears fall one by one, hitting the ground, slowly pooling together...

Suddenly, she grabbed her phone and dialed Everett's number.

The first time, no answer.

The same on the second try.

On the third attempt, Everett's voice finally came through.

"What's up?"

"Everett..." As soon as Dorothy spoke, her emotions overflowed, "I'll do anything you say from now on, I won't be stubborn, I'll trust you completely, please come back, okay?" Everett paused before speaking, "Are you drunk?"

"I'm not, I'm sober." Dorothy's tears wouldn't stop falling, "Please, don't fall for Quincy, don't leave me behind! I can't do this alone, I just can't..."

"Everett, please come back. I don't care about my pride or our fights anymore, I just want you back, I want our family to be whole! Abigail and Langston need you, I... I need you too." She couldn't imagine life without Everett.

She couldn't bear to think what life would be like!

"Dorothy, what's going on?"

"I saw... Quincy went to see you today, you had Kevin bring her up."
