# Kaira

I slipped out of the house like a shadow, my heart pounding with each step. The travel box felt heavier than I expected, my arms aching as I struggled to drag it to the roadside. When a cab finally pulled, I practically threw myself into the backseat.

The ride felt endless. My palms were sweaty as I gripped the door handle, constantly glancing behind us to make sure no one was following.

When we arrived, relief flooded through me. The neighborhood was nothing like ours. It's quiet, orderly, lined with trimmed hedges and clean sidewalks.

No one peeked through curtains or whispered on front porches. People here minded their own business.

I pulled out my phone with trembling fingers. "Hello? I'm here."

As I slipped the phone back into my pocket, someone grabbed my wrist. Hard.

"What...?" I gasped. My phone nearly slipped from my grip, but I held on tighter, my knuckles white.

The man in front of me looked like he'd been living on the streets for weeks. His hair hung in greasy tan

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Unexpected Revelation

    # Kaira's POVThe tension in the room felt suffocating as the two police officers stepped inside. Each step echoed on the floor like gunshots.One was older, with graying hair and eyes that looked like they’d seen too much. The other was younger, in his thirties, with sharp cheekbones and alert eyes.The younger officer went straight to Aunt Martha, pulling out a notepad. "Ma'am, can you explain the situation here?"But the older officer stood frozen, his eyes locked on Damian. His brow furrowed like he was trying to solve a puzzle. He kept staring, tilting his head slightly, as if Damian's face was pulling at some buried memory."Is she telling the truth?" Uncle's voice cut through the tension as he stared directly at Damian.We all turned to look at him. The room held its breath.Damian remained silent, but his jaw tightened. A muscle ticked in his cheek, like he was holding back words threatening to escape.The silence wrapped around me like chains I couldn’t break.Did he think

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Surprise

    # Kaira's POVHe was dressed completely in white. A white suit that looked like it cost more than my entire wardrobe. White sneakers that gleamed like they'd never touched dirty ground. A silver watch that caught the light with every movement. Even his phone was white. Everything about him screamed luxury and power.His expression had changed completely from the man I remembered. Before, he seemed lonely and broken in ways that made my heart ache.But now... now he looked like he owned the entire world. The way he spoke, the way he barged in without even greeting Uncle or Aunt Martha. And Vincent—Vincent, who had seemed so confident and well-off before, was now bowing to him like a servant.So Damian worked at De&J Enterprise? Who was Damian really? Could it be that he was the boss Vincent had spoken about?"You remember me, don't you?" His voice was deep and commanding. His big eyes looked straight into mine, as if trying to bore through my soul. That confidence that screamed wealth

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Damian's Return

    # Kaira's POVThe atmosphere was suffocating, like someone had punched the air out of my chest as I stared at Uncle.My hands trembled at my sides like leaves in a storm. My legs were weak, ready to give in at any moment.How was he home this early? That’s impossible. Uncle never returns at this time...The questions crashed through my mind like waves, but no answers came. My legs gave way slightly. The house suddenly felt like a prison with walls closing in on me.And then it happened again at the most unwanted moment possible.Nausea is unstoppable... especially the kind caused by pregnancy.I pressed my hand to my mouth, fighting the wave of sickness rolling through my stomach. But it was useless. My stomach contracted painfully, twisting like someone was wringing it out.Tonia mockingly twisted her lips, her eyes lighting up with cruel delight."See that, Dad?" Tonia’s voice sliced through the tension like a blade."She's welcoming you with her stinky vomit." She let out an evil l

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Facing The Dawn

    # Kaira's POVAfter pulling myself together, I whispered, "Let go of me."He said nothing. His arms stayed locked around me like chains.I forced myself out of his grip. My hands shook as I stepped back.I shot a glance at him, then looked away quickly. How was I supposed to react? Sad? Angry? Frustrated? Like his innocent little sister? I didn't know anymore. So I just held everything inside, where it burned like acid."I'll leave first," I said. My voice came out weak and broken.Tony stood silent, his expression folded in on itself—blank, but tight around the eyes.I walked to the roadside. Each step echoed too loudly on the deserted street, like I was being followed by the sound of regret.I kept expecting to hear him following, but the silence stretched behind me like a wound.Maybe I shouldn't have left like that. Maybe I was too harsh. Too rude. Maybe I hurt him.When did things get so complicated? When did facing him become so hard?A bus appeared in the distance. Its headligh

    # Kaira's POVHis name was Damian.I remembered that night. A few weeks back. Just another late shift at The Glass House... But something about that night felt different.He sat alone at the far end of the counter, shoulders slumped, eyes locked on his drink like it held answers he was too afraid to speak aloud.Dark circles shadowed his face. His expensive clothes hung loose, like he was trying to disappear inside them.I knew that look. When life kicks you enough times, you start recognizing the same bruises on someone else.He kept glancing at me. Those sad eyes, quietly pleading. My chest tightened. I forced myself to look away, to keep wiping glasses like I didn’t feel it.I wasn’t here to save anyone. And I wasn’t about to throw myself at some sad-eyed stranger nursing a broken heart.Everyone has problems. Everyone.A man slid onto the stool next to him. At first, I thought the stranger wasn't alone—until the man stood, head bowed in deep respect.It was Marcus. The owner of Th

  • PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY   Memory's Return

    # Kaira's POVI jolted up soon, faking a smile awkwardly.Oliver's eyes flickered uncertainly."I… I need to step out for a bit. Don’t worry about me, okay?" I said after collecting myself. My heart was still racing, but not as wildly as before."Can I come with you?" he asked calmly."No. There's no need to come with me. I promise to be back for you, okay?" I said, letting out an awkward smile."Take care then," he said without arguing much."Mm-hm. Thank you." I nodded.A moment of silence.Just as I turned to walk toward the door, something flashed in my memory—and I froze."Food!" I blurted out."If you need food..." I began, gesturing awkwardly."I will order for you. What do you want to eat?" I asked.Oliver was staring at me."It's fine. You can cook when you're back," Oliver replied with a small smile."Don't!" I blurted before I could stop myself."Don't wait for me," I added."Why? You said you would be back, right?" he asked, unsure."Yeah, I did... I did say that, but..."
