The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

"You..." Everett's lips moved, but harsh words were all he could muster, "It's good you understand."

Dorothy laughed, "Although I don't know your purpose, let me tell you, you won't manipulate me! I'll take the kids. If you disagree, then I'll just have to do it by force."
