The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

She still didn't get it. What on earth did Lane want with her? Was he really after that $20 million ransom? "Why? I have my reasons!" He took another drag from his cigarette, then without another word, pressed the burning end against the back of Quincy's tied hands!

"Ah!"

A scream tore through the silence, pain searing through her skin as the color drained from Quincy's face.

"Will you shut up? You're hurting my ears," Lane's eyes darkened, his grip tightening on Quincy's jaw, delivering a slap that left her dazed. "Keep your mouth shut!"

Quincy was in shock.

Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine falling into the clutches of someone like him.

"Please, let me go... I'll give you the money, okay?"

Lane laughed.

"You think I'm doing this for $20 million?"

"Then why?" Quincy was at a loss. She couldn't fathom any grudge between them.

"The amount Everett made me lose is way beyond a mere $20 million!" Lane still remembered how he was forced out of Eldorria City.

It was more than just a setback.

And now, it was his turn to strike back. Fate seemed to have opened a door for him.

"You have beef with Mr. Lopez?" Quincy suddenly realized, "But, kidnapping me won't make him bow to you! I'm about to marry him, but it's just an arranged marriage by our families. He doesn't care about me the way he cares about Dorothy!"

"What does that matter?" Lane shrugged, "Quincy, have you forgotten? You have another use."

He raised an eyebrow, "You said it yourself, without your antidote, Everett is as good as dead." Quincy's heart sank.

So, he was really after Everett!

"As long as you're dead, where will Everett find the antidote? This only antidote, now in my hands." Lane smirked, proud of his plan. "He'd never guess who'd be the death of him." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"You, you'll be a criminal if you kill me! You'll be sentenced!" Quincy's voice trembled with fear. Thoughts of love and the future were far from her mind. Her very life was at stake!

But to Lane, she posed no threat.

"You dared to poison Everett, I thought you weren't afraid of death."

"But now that you're in my hands, your fate is sealed! Stop dreaming, accept your fate." Lane lit another cigarette.

Quincy wanted to stay calm, but her mind was racing.

If she died here, all her plans would be in vain!

Lage...

I know how much

"Lane, Mr. you love Dorothy. Can't we work together? Why must I die? If you hate Mr Lopez, just kill him, and won't say a word! I can even lure him here for you! Really! He has to listen to me now."

Hearing this, Lane let out a cold laugh.

Narrowing his eyes, he thought of someone.

Someone, who also spoke of partnership!

"I don't trust a word from you women! Heather Garcia also promised to work with me, and look how that turned out?"

He learned from his past mistakes; there was no way he'd fall for that again!

"I'm not like Heather! She was foolish enough to get herself on death row!"
