The CEO’s Hidden Love Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires

As the wedding guests filled the grand ballroom, it was clear this was no ordinary ceremony. Among the attendees were titans of the business world, the entire team from Lopez Corporation, and Trust-E Investments, including a vibrant crowd of young professionals. The place buzzed with excitement, and if it weren't for the spacious venue Everett had chosen, it might have struggled to contain the joyous throng. "I stand before you on behalf of the happy couple to express our gratitude for your presence today," the master of ceremonies announced, earning a thunderous round of applause from the audience.

Especially from Karen, who, standing right next to Dorothy, clapped with particular vigor. Her joy was unmistakable today.

Everett gently set Dorothy down on the floor, taking her hand and leading her towards the stage step by step.

As the MC was about to continue, Everett caught his eye and signaled for the microphone, which was promptly handed over. Standing tall and poised, with Dorothy's hand firmly in his, Everett began to speak.

"I don't need to ask Dorothy if she's willing to stay by my side through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. In my eyes, she's always free to choose her path. If... if a day comes when she wishes to leave, it'll be my fault, my failure," he said, his gaze tenderly fixed on Dorothy. "And I, Everett, vow to cherish, to protect, and to love Dorothy for all the days of my life, until my last breath."

"Dorothy, I love you," he declared, a love that transcended life itself.

Tears welled up in Dorothy's eyes, leaving her momentarily speechless.
