    Despite his resources and capabilities, he could have easily manipted Dorothy into staying by his


    side. But he didn’t. He couldn’t bear the thought of Dorothy getting hurt. He wanted Dorothy to be

    “But she’s already hurt you so much! I can’t stand to see it anymore, Everett! Just give me the word,


    and I’ll find out who her husband is and let him know who he’s messed with! If that doesn’t work. Il


    confront her! make Dorothye back to you, even if it means dragging her back!”


    “No.“Everett’s voice finally broke, barely able to conceal his destion Treally love her, but it’s time for


    me to let go.”


    Instead of returning to the construction site, Dorothy went back to her hotel.


    Shey down on the bed without even taking off her coat or setting down her purse.


    Everett’s voice kept reying in her head.


    Truth be told, she missed Everett. She wanted to record his voice and listen to it when she felt like she


    was losing control, so she could find some sort of peace.


    Like a junkle finding relief in their addiction,


    But reality wouldn’t allow it.

    a conflict, it’s definitely Jeffrey’s fault. Don’t worry, at least in my presence, you won’t get hurt.”

    didn’t want to embarass Lane, but she also didn’t want him to harbor any illusions.
