Vienna’s POV

Half an hour later, I sat curled up in Zanele’s dorm room, clutching a mug of hot cocoa. A colorful blanket was draped over my shoulders.

Zanele walked in from the hallway balancing a tray. "The oven in the shared kitchen sucks," she said, rolling her eyes. "But I did the best I could."

I blinked at the steaming cookies. "Are those… chocolate chip?"

"Well, technically," she said, settling down beside me with a dramatic sigh. "The chips kind of melted into a blob."

"They smell amazing," I said, my voice soft with gratitude. "Thanks, Zee."

She waved it off, but her eyes lingered on me, searching. "I still can’t believe that woman kicked you out. Just like that. No discussion, no warning?"

I shook my head slowly. "None. But I get it… Harold kept her in the dark about me. Must’ve been quite a shock to find me there."

Zanele swung an arm around me. "You can stay here, obviously. As long as you need. I’ll sleep on the couch."

"Zanele, no. You can’t! This is your room," I said, s

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 229 - The Day Out

    Vienna’s POVThe dust from the bakery still clung to my clothes when we arrived at the zoo. Not just any zoo—of course not, with Warren. This was the exclusive Kingsford Wildlife Reserve, the kind of place most people only read about in glossy magazines. The wrought-iron gates were gilded, the entrance guarded by stone lions. A uniformed doorman greeted us by name as though we were royalty."Warren Hale, welcome back," the man said with a deferential bow. His eyes flicked to me, then to Oliver, and his smile softened. "And you must be the guests of honor."I shot Warren a look as he handed off his keys to a valet. "Really? Guests of honor? You’ve been here before?"He grinned. "My father has a membership. I grew up feeding giraffes here instead of pigeons in the park."I shook my head, half amused, half irritated. "Of course you did."But Oliver’s eyes were wide with wonder. He tugged on Warren’s sleeve. "Are there lions here, big man?""Lions, tigers, giraffes, even a panda," Warren

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 228 - Torn Floors, Tied Hearts

    Vienna’s POVThe next morning, when I arrived at the bakery, I stopped dead in my tracks. A massive black truck stood parked in front. Half a dozen men were already unloading crates, tools, and slabs of material.My stomach tightened. Oh God.Warren stood among them like a foreman, arms crossed, his cast barely slowing him down as he barked orders. When he saw me, his expression softened instantly. "Vienna," he greeted, walking toward me with that infuriatingly calm smile. "Told you I’d get things done before your opening.""Warren," I said slowly, eyes darting to the chaos behind him, "what exactly is going on here?""Relax," he said smoothly. "This is how progress looks."I unlocked the door reluctantly, and before I could even step inside, the men surged forward, hauling in equipment. The moment they crossed the threshold, drills and crowbars came out. Within minutes, the bakery I’d poured my soul into became a demolition site.I gasped as two workers ripped up the flooring near t

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 227 - A Reluctant Alliance

    Vienna’s POVMy mother’s words hit me like a punch to the gut. For a moment, I couldn’t even breathe, let alone speak."I can’t let you walk into the same fire I did, Vienna," she said, her voice gentle but carrying that quiet steel that only came from lived pain.I stared at her, shaking my head slowly. "I… I had no idea, Mother. Why didn’t you ever tell me?"Her shoulders sagged as if a heavy memory pressed down on her. "Because I wanted to protect you. But now… you need to know."She folded her hands together tightly on the table. "There was a huge court case, years ago. I tried to prove that the company that built my bakery had used that material illegally, without proper safety disclosures. But they—" Her lips curled with bitterness "—they had the money, the lawyers, the connections. They buried me in paperwork, dragged me through hearings. In the end, they covered the whole thing up."My stomach turned. "So all this time… that’s what caused—" I couldn’t even finish the sentence.

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 226 - Toxic Truths

    Vienna’s POV"Vienna, please, don’t do this." Warren’s voice cracked with urgency, his hand braced against the doorframe. "You know I only want what’s best for you."I crossed my arms, my patience gone. "I told you to leave." My tone was calm, but final.He ran a frustrated hand through his hair, pacing a step before turning back to me. "You can kick me out and stick your head in the sand, but that doesn’t mean your health won’t be affected. Or Oliver’s!"My jaw tightened. "I’ll decide for myself what risks I’m willing to take, thank you very much." I moved toward him deliberately, each step shrinking the space between us until I was at the door, ushering him out with a steady gesture."Vienna, listen to me," he pleaded, his eyes flashing with something between fear and anger. "You don’t understand the damage this could cause. I’ve read the research—""Enough!" My voice rang out sharper than I intended, but I didn’t waver. "This is my bakery. My project. My life. And I will not let yo

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 225 - Safety First

    Vienna’s POVI cleared my throat, folding my arms. "Why are you here, Sophia?"She blinked, as if she’d been caught drifting. Her professional mask slid back into place. "I brought one of my men. We need to do some last checks before the installation is finalized.""Oh… Alright, go ahead," I said, trying to shake off the strange energy. I slipped into the kitchen, scooped a few pastries onto a plate, and brought them out. "Here—you both should try these."The worker gave me a grateful nod. But Sophia’s smile was faint, her reaction far more subdued than usual. Normally, she gushed over anything I baked. This time she simply murmured, "Lovely," and passed the plate along.While they busied themselves with measurements and murmured comments, Warren and I continued chatting at the little bistro table. I couldn’t help but notice the way Sophia’s gaze kept wandering back to Warren, lingering a little too long as she pretended to busy herself with her notes and sketches.I nudged Warren un

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 224 - Envious Visitors

    Vienna’s POV"Do I still…" I echoed, my voice sharp with disbelief. "What the hell, Warren? You walk into my brand-new bakery and the first thing out of your mouth is about some guy I once knew?"Warren’s eyes locked on mine, intense and searching. "Vienna, I know something went on between you and Raphaël. The way you leapt onto his motorbike that night… that wasn’t nothing."I scoffed, folding my arms across my chest. "We were divorced, Warren. Divorced. And we still are. What does it matter to you?"He stepped closer, close enough that the scent of his cologne—faint, but achingly familiar—wrapped around me. My heart betrayed me with a skip. "It matters," he said, voice low and rough, "because I never stopped loving you, Vienna. Not for a single day. And the thought of you… with someone else…" His jaw tightened.I forced myself to retreat a step and rolled my eyes. "This bakery has nothing to do with Raphaël. I wanted to bring a little corner of Paris to Kingsford, that’s all."His b
