The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"No way! Absolutely not!" Karen immediately shot back, her voice laced with determination. "Have you ever stopped to think that if you change, will Dorothy still be Dorothy? Everett fell in love with you for who you are, not for someone you might become."

Everett, the town's golden boy, had his pick of women, all vying for his attention.

But it was Dorothy who caught his eye, and his affection for her wasn't fleeting; it was deep and enduring. It was her uniqueness, her own kind of magic that charmed him.

"He's struggling."

"Then show him more love! Everett doesn't want you to change. If he did, he could've made it happen a long time ago. Does he really need to scheme and strategize for something simple?" Dorothy blinked, slightly confused... Karen always had a way of making weirdly good points.

"Look, he planned on marrying you from the start. Could he have forced you? Sure, if Everett wanted, he could've made it happen. He could've dragged the whole city hall to Bay Residence to get your signature if he wished!"

"And when you guys hit a rough patch, he waited for you. Don't tell me Everett couldn't have tracked you down and kept you by his side forcefully?" Karen scoffed, "Even Jeffrey could come up with such a scheme, and there's no way Everett wouldn't know that. But he didn't want to force you; he wanted you to be with him willingly, happily."

"You're right."
