# Kaira's POV

The ride to the apartment was exhausting from start to finish. I wrestled my heavy bags on and off the bus, regretting the morning bus over a taxi, even if it had saved me a few bills.

The thought of leaving Oliver alone gnawed at me. And Camille’s urgent call… the one I couldn’t return, no matter how many times I tried.

I wondered if it was a poor network or my phone acting up again.

"Great," I muttered.

"Finally charged and still useless?" I let out a frustrated scoff, shaking my head at the phone.

* * *

Soon, I reached the apartment. Loud screaming from inside the house welcomed me.

I heard Camille and Jason's voices arguing as usual.

Those two...

Maybe it wasn't as urgent as I'd been worrying about.

My guess was right about her being at the apartment. I could imagine the questions they must have bombarded innocent Oliver with. How would he react? He wouldn't remember them... I wasn't even sure if he knew them from before he lost his memory. I had never seen them mee

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Unsaid Words

    # Kaira's POVI wondered what my response should be in a moment like this. Should I tell him what I was really thinking?After being quiet for a while, I finally broke the silence."Tony, I..." But he cut me off before I could finish."See, I... I can't really talk to anybody the way I talk to you. Nothing like that.""I don't really know what to say other than the fact that I've missed you." His voice was intense, his expression looking completely sincere.What was he trying to say?"What do you mean by..." The words came out as barely a whisper, but I still got interrupted before I could finish."Come on, let's go." His expression slipped back to neutral, leaving me confused."Their coffee tastes the best. You haven't tried it, right?" he said, pointing toward the cafe. He was faking cheerfulness that didn't come from inside.I stayed quiet, not even trying to fake a smile like him. My expression was flat.Let's just get this over with. I knew my decision wouldn't be the best for To

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Vanishing Act

    #Kaira's POVTony vanished from the scene so suddenly that I thought my eyes might be playing tricks on me. I rubbed at my eyes and forced them open wider, but still nothing.The thug and the man with the gun were gone too.It was like nothing had happened, but I knew it was real.I could see people still scattered around the area from the sound of the gunshots.What was this? Why couldn't I find him from my position? My head throbbed like someone was hammering nails into my skull. My fingers trembled, and so did my entire body. My heart kept pounding so hard and loud that I could barely breathe.Without thinking, I threw myself into the road. Car horns blared around me, but I kept going. If they couldn't stop for me to cross, so be it. The light wasn't even green yet, and they were being this aggressive, causing a traffic jam.I wondered where the road safety officers were instead of sticking to their assigned posts.Cars screeched to a halt around me. Drivers rolled down windows to

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Ambush

    # Kaira's POVAfter Camille and Jason had sent me off, I sat in the cab unable to shake the feeling about Tony. My mind kept playing different scenarios, imagining how our meeting would go in the most positive way possible.Soon, within an hour, I reached the location Tony had asked to meet. The ride there felt overwhelming, like my chest was being squeezed by invisible hands."Thank you, sir," I bowed to the driver before leaving.He was a young guy who seemed to be in his early thirties or late twenties. He kept staring at me through the rearview mirror, smiling in a way that made me wonder what was wrong. Could it be because of my worried expression? I had been completely lost in thought.I had only noticed his staring just a few minutes before the ride ended."Um... excuse me, please?" Instead of driving away, he stopped me. His voice sounded awkward and uncertain.I paused before turning around, my eyebrows raised in question."Wait, please. Spare some time," he said, moving his

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   The Urgent Summons

    # Kaira's POVThree hours earlier, I’d sat straighter on the bed, waiting for Oliver to mention the phone I’d found. His gaze never lifted from his food. Each bite felt like a silent brick wall, so I matched his quiet, pretending my mind wasn’t spinning.After our meal together, I returned to Camille and Jason, who had also finished eating. This time, I couldn't escape until I told them what they were dying to hear.They circled me like a pair of cats scenting a secret. I told them what I could. Though I didn't reveal much about Oliver, I told them he was my friend. I explained the accident Oliver had saved me from and how the doctors diagnosed him with amnesia afterward. Camille's elbow slid onto the small table she had just finished eating from. Their faces tilted forward and they listened with their full attention, leaning forward like they were watching a movie they had been dying to finish.And about how I had left home... I told them everything about cutting ties with my family,

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Oliver has a phone!

    # Kaira's POVI glanced toward the sound, and so did Camille."Our order is here!" Camille jumped up and rushed to the door before anyone else could move.Jason just raised his head slightly toward the door without saying anything, then slipped his phone into his pocket.I watched him suspiciously but tried not to let him notice.Camille paid for the orders... something I should have done, but she’d never allow it. That’s why she rushed to the door."Hey! One of you should come help me," her voice rang out, directed at us."Kaira," she specified."Coming!" I responded quickly and was about to stand up when Jason held me down gently."Let me," he said."Uh, sure." I sank back into my seat, still wondering why he’d stopped me.Jason walked over to her."Thank you, sir. Take care," she said respectfully, bowing slightly to the deliveryman. Then she locked the door after he left.When she turned around and saw Jason, her expression darkened. "Why are you here? I called Kaira," she said,

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Torn Loyalties

    # Kaira's POVOliver seemed to be talking. His mouth moving, his worried expression was sharp and clear, but his voice was only a distant hum.My mind refused to let go of Tony.Should I meet with him and clear things up? But I had to make sure he didn't know about my new place. Of course I should meet him... If anyone deserved an explanation, it was him. I owed him that much. And I need to ease his worry, but that would be all. No more worrying over me—especially if it could stir up trouble with his family. I wouldn’t drag him into my mess."But where had he been? Was it last night or before dawn? What was he even doing these days?" No answers came.I shook my head, trying to push the thoughts away.I glanced at my phone again, thumb hovering over the screen.Then my hand typed a response: "[Okay, brother. Where do you want us to meet?]"I squeezed my eyes shut and hit send.I let out a deep sigh of relief. "Yeah... It's the right thing to do," I muttered.A gentle tap on my shoulder
