Vienna’s POV

The next morning, as I dropped Oliver off at daycare, he kept tugging on my sleeve. "Daddy pick me up today? You promise?" he asked for the third time.

"Yes, sweetheart," I said, forcing a smile. "Daddy will pick you up."

I tried not to let my frustration seep into my voice. Every reminder of Warren only sharpened the dread of seeing him again.

At the bakery, the pungeant smell of disinfectant greeted me. The pest control team had declared everything clean, safe, and fully operational again.

Still, I wasn’t about to take chances. Today would be a marathon of scrubbing, double-checking, and triple-checking until every surface gleamed.

Just as I tied my apron, my phone buzzed. A text from Raphaël:

"Got your missed call. U OK?"

I stared at the words, hesitating. Then I exhaled and hit call. Time to face this.

"Vienna…" he answered. His voice was low, like the night hadn’t given him much sleep. I already knew why.

"Raphaël," I said softly. "Good morning."

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 337 - Safe & Sound

    Vienna’s POVEdward stroked my hair with slow, deliberate gentleness, his touch grounding me in a world that still felt tilted off its axis."Shhh… you’re safe," he whispered, again and again. His low voice was warm and steady—like an anchor I didn’t know I needed until that moment.Across from us, Ashley was wrapped tightly in Fred’s arms. Her makeup was smudged, her chest rising and falling too fast, but she was safe. Fred rubbed her back, murmuring something into her hair.He lifted his gaze to Bella, who was standing nearby, arms wrapped around herself. "Security handled it?" he asked over Ashley’s shoulder.Bella nodded weakly. "Yeah. They dragged him out the back. Police should be on their way. He’s gone."Fred exhaled a long, shaky breath. "Okay. That’s it. We’re staying together for the rest of the night. No more splitting up, no wandering off. We stick as a group."The bachelor party and bachelorette group merged in a messy, chaotic tangle—men hugging women, women crying into

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 336 - Useless in Emergencies

    Vienna’s POVThe panic attack hit me before I even understood what was happening.My vision blurred. My lungs locked. This couldn’t be happening. Not tonight.That man…It was him.The same thug who had taunted and tortured Warren. Who had touched me in ways that still made my skin crawl. Who had laughed while he yanked at my clothes just to watch Warren break.The memory slammed into me so violently I stumbled back, clutching my chest as the streetlights spun in a dizzying dance."No. No, no, no…" I whispered. The words barely scraped out. My breath shattered into sharp, painful gasps.He approached with that same cruel grin I still saw in my nightmares."Well, well," he crooned, eyes sweeping over me. "Miss me, sweetheart?"Ashley stepped between us without hesitation, her voice firm despite the fear flashing in her eyes. "Back. Off. She’s been through enough."He didn’t.Instead, he grabbed her arm."Hey! Let go—let go of me!" Ashley struggled, twisting, but his grip only tightened

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 335 - Chef of Chaos

    Ashley’s POV"Morning, fiancée," a low voice brushed against my ear. "Ready for your big day?"I blinked awake, still tangled beneath the sheets, to find Fred’s face hovering inches from mine. His dark blonde hair was a sleepy mess. His smile was entirely too smug for this early in the morning. For a moment I simply stared, my brain foggy. Then everything snapped into place."Oh my god." I shot upright so quickly I startled him. "Today is my Bachelorette!"Fred burst out laughing. "I knew it. I knew you’d be more excited about this than the wedding.""I am not!" I protested, even though we both knew it was only slightly untrue. "It’s just… Today is going to be fun. Weddings are stressful. This is fun."He stretched out, arms behind his head. "Good to know where I rank compared to glitter, giggles and cocktails.""Oh hush." I leaned down to kiss him. "You always rank first. But today? Today is Vienna’s masterpiece.""Well, if anyone can create a masterpiece involving alcohol, chaos, an

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 334 - Dangerous Date

    Vienna’s POVThe urge hit me out of nowhere.Absolutely uninvited.Completely illogical.And so, so dangerous.Kissing Edward—actually wanting to kiss Edward—was the kind of complication my life did not need right now. Not with Warren. Not with Oliver. Not with my still-fragile brain and my barely-rebuilt sense of stability. Not with everything happening around Desiree’s trial.So I tore my gaze away and stared very intently at the bead of condensation sliding down my glass like my life depended on it.Of course, Edward noticed immediately that something was off."Hey," he said softly, leaning just a little closer. "You okay?""Yep," I blurted out, way too fast. "Totally fine. Just, uh… strong drink." I held up the glass like Exhibit A.He tilted his head. "Mm-hm. Sure. Because you’re always this jumpy after half a cocktail."I widened my eyes at him. "Hey, don’t mock me. These things are basically liquid betrayal. I wasn’t prepared."A smile tugged at one corner of his mouth, but he

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 333 - Unexpected Urges

    Vienna’s POVThe four of us fanned out across the graveyard—me, Edward, Noah, and Bella—calling Lily’s name until our voices blurred into the wind. The place felt endless, rows and rows of stones stretching out under the gray afternoon sky. My stomach tightened more with every step. The thought of Lily somewhere here, alone and scared, made my chest hurt."We’ve covered this whole section," Noah called, worry carved into every line of his face. "She has to be close."Bella was already jogging ahead again, her voice hoarse from shouting. "Lily! Lily, sweetheart, please answer me!"Then a small, devastating sound cut through the quiet.A little sob."Wait," Bella whispered. She whipped around a tall marble headstone and gasped. "Oh my god—Lily."We all rushed toward her. Lily was curled up in the grass, pressed against the stone as if trying to disappear into it. When Bella scooped her up, Lily clung to her like she was drowning.Her whole little body shook."I’m so sorry," Bella whis

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 332 - Lost Lily

    Vienna’s POVI poked my head into the living room where Oliver was busy building a mountain out of cushions. "Sweetheart," I said gently, "Grandma and Grandpa are going to watch you for a little while, okay? I have to help Auntie Bella with something important."Oliver looked up, concerned. "Is she sad?""Yeah," I said softly. "But I’m going to help her. You stay here and be good?"He nodded solemnly. "I will. Can I show you my racetrack when you’re back?"My heart squeezed. "Of course."I kissed the top of his head, then hurried to find my parents. They took one look at my face and didn’t ask questions."Go," Celeste said firmly. "We’ve got him.""Call if you need anything," Harold added.I was already halfway out the door.The instant babysitting service was definitely one of the perks of living with my parents. One I knew I’d miss the day we finally had a place of our own.The drive to Bella’s place was a blur of headlights and worst-case scenarios running through my mind. When I f
