The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Despise Everett?

"Out with it! Who sent you?!"

"I came on my own."

No sooner had he spoken than Lane, gripping the knife, tightened his hold, and a thin line of blood appeared on the man's neck.

The man just smirked, showing no fear, "Go ahead! I came alone, fully prepared to face death! As long as you promise me one thing that Everett doesn't get to live-I don't care if I die!"

Seeing his genuine fearlessness, Lane started to believe him, at least a little.
