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."

"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."
