The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Text messages sinking into the abyss, one after another.

Aurora was about to try a voice call request, when she suddenly paused, realizing something.

She and Felicity had always been tight as thieves, it didn't make sense for her to ghost her over Langston's drama.

So...

There could only be one explanation-

Felicity hadn't checked her WhatsApp.

And had probably changed her phone number too.

"Looks like she's really set on cutting ties."

But with her brother in his current state, she couldn't just stick to his side 24/7! God forbid he goes on another bender...

Frowning, Aurora dialed another number.

"Hey? Aunt Karen!"

"Abigail, what's up? What's got you calling out of the blue?"

"I'm trying to get in touch with Felicity!"

Silence fell on Karen's end, followed by a hesitant stutter.

"Umm... well..."

"Aunt Karen, my brother just got through a surgery for a perforated ulcer, and ever since he's been back, he's been drinking like there's no tomorrow. I'm scared for him! Please, let me talk to Felicity, just a one-on-one chat! Whatever the outcome, at least I'll have tried to do something for my brother."

Seeing her brother like this, she couldn't just stand by!

Even if it meant guilt-tripping, she was past caring.

"Ah!" Karen let out a long sigh, "Abigail, you've grown up around me, you know me. If there was any hope left for Felicity and Langston, I'd be the first to want things fixed. You wouldn't even have to ask, I'd talk to Felicity myself."

"But, but Felicity clearly loves my brother!"

"Some things, love alone can't fix."

"Abigail, you're about to get married, you've got plenty on your plate. Focus on you and Craig's wedding! As for Felicity and Langston, it's truly over."

With Aunt Karen putting it that way, Aurora could only shrug it off.

"Alright, I get it."

...

Felicity's first stop was Elusaratta.

A place to marvel at glaciers and icebergs, its only downside the biting cold.

Departing from the airport in

Coperdenia, by her third day there she

e was battling a fever soet

medication barely helped.

Yet, she pushed through to witness the Northern Lights.

Breathtaking.

Such beauty was beyond words, only truly appreciated by being there, feeling the awe firsthand.

Felicity even toyed with the idea of settling down there!

To be surrounded by such splendor every day.

By the fifth day, the fever had

subsided, and bundled up in a thick down jacket, she followed her guide across the Arctic Circle, stopping at Congrulus Vakor.

The sight of the Northern Hemisphere's largest ice cap was like stepping into a pristine paradise!novelbin

She finally understood why friends, post-breakup, craved a change of scenery.

Being anonymous, where no one knew your name or age, simply sharing in the beauty before you, could make you forget so much.

By the time she returned to civilization, half a month had passed.

Settling into her hotel bed, it hit her that she hadn't checked WhatsApp in ages.

Seeing Abigail's message, Felicity's first instinct was to call back!

But her finger hovered over the WhatsApp screen, ultimately deciding against it.

Seeing how long ago the message was sent he must be out of the hospital by now. After all this, he probably hated her even more.

Though she didn't reply, after lying there for a while, Felicity dialed her mom.

"Mom!"

"You little rascal, finally decided to check in, huh?"

"Hehe! It's so cold here, my phone keeps freezing, so I just turned it off." It wasn't like she had much else to do.

After a brief pause, Karen suddenly asked, "Felicity, are you coming back for Abigail's wedding?"
