The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 412

Kenneth couldn't even bear to think about it—if one day he received news of Dorothy's death...

He was certain it would drive him mad.

"I know you mean well, but I have no choice but..." Dorothy hadn't finished her sentence when Kenneth suddenly stood up and headed for the door.

She paused, then hurried after him, grabbing his arm. "Where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going to find Everett! I need to know what the hell he's up to! Your mother's already dead because of him. Does he also have to take you down before he's satisfied?"

"Don't." Dorothy blocked his path. "Kenneth, I promise you, I'll take extra care. We can't draw attention to ourselves until the security systems in Byte 7 are back online."

She was determined to make everyone who had hurt her mother pay, but now wasn't the time to tip them off.

"You're walking straight into the lion's den! Dorothy, I'm terrified of losing you."

He couldn't imagine a life without her or the torturous schemes their enemies would concoct once they set their sights on Dorothy.

"I've got it under control. Don't worry." Dorothy was ready to move forward.

She should've known it wouldn't be so simple to end things.

It wasn't as easy as she'd hoped; there were bound to be complications.

Kenneth held back, knowing he had no standing to keep persuading her. In the end, he could only make a small request.

"You can work at the Lopez Corporation, but you have to let me drive you to and from work every day!"

Dorothy had guessed as much.

"You wouldn't leave no matter what, would you?"

"No, I can't leave."

"Fine." Dorothy laid out her terms. "You can stay in Eldorria City, and you can drive me to work, but you have to go on the blind dates your family has set up."

Kenneth froze, his brows furrowing. "Did my parents talk to you?"

Dorothy shook her head, her voice soft. "No, but Kenneth, you should have a family of your own. You can't spend all your time on me; it's a huge burden!"

Kenneth just looked into Dorothy’s eyes, his lips barely moving. "Do you really want me to go on these blind dates?"
