The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Eleanor always thought her heart belonged to someone else.

Being with Kenneth was comfortable, convenient. They both had someone else in mind, and that arrangement seemed to work just fine.

But people change, especially when they spend every day together.

Eleanor found herself growing accustomed to Kenneth's presence. He was there when she got home from work, ready to hit the grocery store or cook dinner together. At night, they fell asleep in each other's arms.

This newfound closeness turned what was once an advantage of their relationship into a thorn in her side. The more she fell for Kenneth, the more it hurt knowing he was thinking of someone else. Someone named Dorothy.

Eleanor felt like Kenneth looked through her, hoping to see a face that wasn't hers.
