The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

Jeffrey wasn't clueless about his mistake; he just couldn't grasp why Karen always brought up divorce like it was her go-to solution. It made him feel like he didn't have a place in her heart.

How could two people, who had built a life together and even had kids, resort to talking about splitting up at every disagreement? And Karen wasn't just talking-the seriousness in her tone, her unwavering resolve, it all signaled she meant business.

But then, your sincerity won me over. You promised a change, swore off bars and ex- girlfriends, and I chose to believe you. I gave us a chance. But you let me down."
