Vienna’s POV

Passport? Check. Wallet? Check.

I ran through my packing list for the third time, my fingers trembling slightly as I zipped my suitcase shut.

I was really doing this. Leaving everything behind. Starting over on the other side of the world.

Bella stood by the door, blinking ferociously. Then, in a sudden burst of emotion, she pulled me into a tight hug.

"Don’t you dare forget about me, V," she whispered, her voice thick. "You better call me the moment you land."

I nodded into her shoulder. "I promise. Thank you. For everything. I couldn’t have done any of this without you."

She pulled back, swiping at her eyes, and then gave me a mischievous wink. "Oh, and… I might have a little surprise for you."

I blinked. "A surprise?"

"You’ll see," she said airily, shooing me toward the door. "Now go chase that Parisian dream."

Still puzzled, I climbed into the car waiting out front. Fred was behind the wheel, and Harold sat in the passenger seat. They both turned to greet me with warm

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 125 - Parisian Dreams

    Vienna’s POVAs I sank into one of the cushioned chairs on the terrace, the breeze carried the scent of lavender and distant bread ovens. Paris stretched out before me in a glittering sprawl.Jacques appeared at my side with a silver tray and a courteous smile. “Champagne, Mademoiselle? A glass to welcome you to your new life?”I smiled, touched by the gesture, but held up a hand. “Thank you, Jacques, but I’m pregnant. No bubbles for me.”His eyes widened with delight. “Ah! The miracle of life,” he said with reverence. “How wonderful.”He returned moments later with a flute of sparkling apple juice and a plate of delicate tapas-style snacks.“Merci,” I said, taking a grateful sip. “This is perfect.”Jacques bowed slightly. “If you need anything else, Mademoiselle, I’ll be just inside.”Left alone, I leaned back and looked up. The stars were beginning to twinkle into view above the sea of city lights. At home, it would be lunchtime now.I pulled my phone from my bag, finally ready to co

    Vienna’s POVThe 10-hour flight crawled by as I journaled, read, and dozed in uncomfortable intervals. My back ached, my feet were swollen, and my nerves were buzzing like static. Paris. I couldn’t believe I was actually doing this. A whole new country. A whole new life.When we finally landed and I stepped into the cool, elegant chaos of Charles de Gaulle Airport, the weight of it all hit me. I was really here. My hand trembled slightly as I clutched my suitcase and scanned the arrivals terminal for the taxi exit.And then I saw it.A tall, middle-aged man in a dark gray suit stood near the barrier. He held a sign high above the heads of the crowd. In neat, bold lettering, it read: "VIENNA McALLISTER."My jaw slackened. McAllister. He had written my new name—my family name. I blinked, almost wondering if it was a mistake. Then I stepped toward him cautiously.“Hello, sir. I’m Vienna,” I said, trying not to sound breathless.He turned to me with a dignified smile and a soft bow. “Ah

    Warren’s POVThe rental car sped down the freeway. The tires hummed against the asphalt as the words from the earlier phone call echoed over and over in my head: "I have some news I think you need to hear…"The second the call ended, I’d spun on my heel and barked at Desiree, "Take my stuff home for me. I’m leaving."She blinked in confusion. "What? Where are you going?"But I was already halfway out the door, ordering the first rental car available. A compact sedan. Pathetic compared to my usual lineup of sports cars, but I didn’t care. I just needed to move.I gripped the steering wheel tight and slammed my foot down harder on the gas. "Come on. Come on," I muttered, willing the car to go faster.The freeway blurred past me, signs flying by unread. My chest tightened more with every mile.By the time I screeched into the airport parking lot, I was a mess. Sweaty, breathless, desperate. I barely remembered to lock the car before sprinting through the sliding glass doors. My shoes thu

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 121 - Tennis, Thongs, and Truth Bombs

    Warren’s POVIt was our final day at Evervale Heights.Desiree had recovered miraculously fast. According to the doctors, her vitals were stable, her wrist had healed well enough, and she’d been cleared for all normal activities again. It felt surreal, how quickly she'd bounced back from the brink of death. Meanwhile, I was anything but recovered. Each day without Vienna felt heavier than the last. I kept telling myself it would fade. That the pain would dull. But all I felt was this… hollow ache. Like my heart had been ripped out and I was too numb to stop the bleeding.Of course, Desiree had taken it upon herself to fill that space."Let's play a game of tennis," she chirped, striding into the lounge area with a racket in hand. "Come on, it'll help shake off the funk. You could use the distraction."I arched a brow, barely looking up from the spot on the wall I’d been blankly staring at for the past fifteen minutes. "You sure your wrist’s ready for that?"She scoffed lightly and w

    Vienna’s POVHarold, clearly trying to ease the tension in the air, said with a smile, "Why don’t we all have dinner together—just the three of us—before Vienna heads off to Paris? A proper sendoff."Fred and I exchanged a look. It was still strange, this new reality between us. But we both nodded."Alright," Fred said. "Let’s do it."We ended up at one of Taste Royalty’s newest restaurant ventures. A sleek, candlelit place with warm lighting and an open kitchen. Over the clinking of silverware and murmured conversation, we spoke about everything. The past, the wild twist of fate that connected us, and what the future might now hold.Fred stirred his risotto, then glanced up at me. "I still can’t believe you’re actually… my sister."I gave him a small smile, equally bewildered. "Tell me about it. Yesterday we were coworkers and… whatever else people thought we were. Today? Blood-related."Harold chuckled gently and leaned back in his chair, his face soft with affection. "Life is stran
