The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

As the seconds ticked by, Dorothy felt her heart sink deeper and deeper.

The horrifying thought crossed her mind - if, if she were violated by Lane... she couldn't bear the thought of living on!

Even though she knew Everett would tell her he didn't mind, that it didn't matter to him, Dorothy couldn't accept it for herself. Suddenly.

There was a scattering of footsteps outside the apartment building.

Dorothy and Lane turned almost at the same time towards the source of the noise-

It was Kenneth.

His hands were tied, and he had been brought here.

"Mr. Lane, here's the person you asked me to bring."

"Alright," Lane gestured with his hand that the messenger could leave, then his gaze landed on Dorothy and Kenneth, a sly smile forming, "What, pretending you don't know each other in front of me? This act is too fake!"

Dorothy looked at the man before her, his face and body covered in wounds and blood, and she nearly lost her composure!

If Kenneth hadn't gotten involved in this mess trying to help her find the antidote, he could have stayed out of it entirely. "Kenneth, if you just come clean about how you've been signaling the outside world, maybe I'll spare your life!"

As soon as Lane finished speaking, Kenneth rasped, "I didn't."

Lane scoffed and kicked him fiercely!

The kick was strong, and with Kenneth's hands tied, it was hard for him to keep his balance. He fell straight to the ground! The thud made Dorothy's heart tremble violently.

"Lane, are you insane? He said he didn't betray you! What did Kenneth do wrong?"

"He said he didn't, so he didn't?" Lane's gaze shifted back to Dorothy, "It hurts you to see him kicked?"

Dorothy didn't dare speak, unsure which word might trigger Lane's temper.

This man had become unreasonable.

Suddenly, from nowhere, Lane had a black handgun in his hand!

Dorothy's pupils dilated at the sight.

"What are you doing?!"

"I've already killed Quincy, adding Kenneth to the list isn't a big deal! Seeing you protect him really pisses me off," Lane gritted his teeth, his voice laced with fierceness, "Why? You can care for Everett, you can feel for Kenneth, this cripple, but you can't have a bit of sympathy for me?"

Dorothy instinctively wanted to rush forward, to snatch the gun from Lane.

At this point, he might just end Kenneth's life with a single bullet in the next moment!

And that wasn't any ordinary weapon.

The fatality rate of a gunshot was well understood by everyone present.

But as she moved, Kenneth

suddenly spoke, "He won't believe anything you say now, I've explained that there's nothing between you and me... but Lane won't believe it."

Dorothy instinctively looked into Kenneth's eyes.

His eye sockets were swollen, half of his face covered in blood.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

Yet...

Kenneth still gave Dorothy a warning glance.

Signaling her not to try for the gun.

It was too dangerous!

"You all think you can play me for a fool, Everett did, and so do you!" Lane stormed towards Dorothy, his eyes filled with resentment, "My patience has run out, today, Dmust have you!"

He advanced, and Dorothy retreated.

But the room was too small...

In just a few steps, she was backed against the wall.
