Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 35 - Shadows & Revelations
Third Person POVVienna looked over at Fred as they walked through the cobbled streets of Kingsford. Fred’s expression was somber, his eyes fixed ahead.“I don’t usually talk about this,” he said after a long pause. His voice was thick with restraint. “But after what you witnessed today, I guess I owe you the truth.”“You don’t owe me anything,” Vienna said softly. “But I’m here if you want to share.”“It started three years ago,” Fred began, his words measured and heavy. “Jason—my younger brother—was in his final year at Crestford University. He was sharp. Driven. Kind-hearted in a way that made people believe in things again. He wanted to become a human rights lawyer.”Vienna listened intently, already sensing the shift in tone. The weight of what was coming.“But then,” Fred continued, his jaw clenching, “he caught Desiree cheating on a final exam. She had bribed a TA for the answer key. Jason reported her. He thought it was the right thing to do. He believed in accountability.”

Vienna’s POVI rolled my eyes, letting out a slow sigh. “Not this again, Warren.”His eyes burned into me, sharp and cold. “So you’re telling me this guy just happened to show up here? Just like he conveniently turned up at the restaurant the other night?”I narrowed my eyes. His accusations were as exhausting as they were ridiculous. “I told you already—I met Fred for the first time at the restaurant. We talked about work. He offered me a position. This is a work meeting,” I said, my tone flat and measured.“Yeah, right. The ‘work’ excuse again.” He leaned in slightly, voice dripping with sarcasm. “Tell me, how long have you been secretly seeing him?”I fought to keep my voice level. “This is strictly professional, Warren. Fred tasted my pastries. He liked them. He offered me a role as head pastry chef at Taste Royalty.”Just for a second, I allowed myself a flicker of pride. This was the opportunity of a lifetime. But Warren scoffed, cutting it down without a second thought.“Right.
Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 33 - Twisted Truth
Vienna’s POVI rushed after Fred, my heart pounding with panic. "Fred, wait!" I whispered harshly, trying to catch up to him. I reached for his arm, but he was too fast.He cut through the cafe like a blade, not even glancing back at me. He was heading straight for Warren and Desiree, seated in the back corner. I picked up my pace, anxiety clawing at my throat.The last thing I wanted was for my work life to become tangled with the emotional disaster that was Warren and Desiree. Fred was about to become my boss—I couldn’t let him get involved in my divorce.But I only caught up with Fred as he reached their table."Please—don’t," I whispered.Warren looked up. His eyes met mine first—guilt flaring instantly in his expression. "Vienna…" he breathed. "What are you—"Then his gaze shifted. He spotted Fred beside me. The guilt evaporated, replaced by something harder—jealousy, suspicion, and unmistakable anger."Oh," Warren said, his jaw tightening. "I see what this is."But before I cou
Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 32 - Where It All Began
Vienna’s POV2 a.m… 3 a.m… 4 a.m… I watched the hours crawl by on the bedside clock.I lay curled up on the unfamiliar hotel bed, wrapped in too many layers of blankets. I had never felt more lonely. Sleepless. Scared.I pressed my hand gently against my belly. The new life beneath my palm was grounding and terrifying all at once. "I’m so sorry, little one," I whispered, my voice shaking. "I’m sorry I chose the wrong man. I’m sorry it’s all so messed up. But I have to protect you now. I have to protect us."My tears seeped into the pillow beneath me as the darkness outside began to give way to gray light.There was no point in trying to sleep now. I hadn't slept all night anyway—just lay there, playing scenes over in my mind like a movie reel that wouldn't end. The image of Milo in my arms. Warren's face when I walked out. The sound of Desiree’s voice behind me, smug and victorious.I rolled out of bed slowly and forced myself upright. I took a quick shower, then pulled on a fitted
Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 31 - The Silk Line
Warren’s POVI stood at the door of the villa, watching helplessly as Vienna's small beige Fiat disappeared into the distance.I had bought her that car a few months after our wedding—a small, sweet gesture of convenience. Something to make her commutes to the bakery easier, safer. Back then, everything between us had felt warm and full of promise. Now, watching her taillights vanish down the driveway, it felt like I was watching the last flicker of our marriage burn out and fade.“Oh, V,” I muttered, the guilt pressing against my chest like a loaded fist. “Why does it have to be like this?”I clenched my jaw and turned on my heel, ready to grab my keys and go after her. I’d bring her home. I’d fix this.But then the front door creaked open in front of me.“Hey, Warren,” came a soft, uncertain voice.Desiree stood in the doorway, her arms crossed tightly over her chest, her expression drawn and pale. The rain made her hair cling to her face, lending her an almost tragic air. She looke
Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 30 - Over and Out
Vienna’s POVI couldn’t believe what I was hearing."You want me to apologize? After what she did?" My voice cracked with disbelief.Desiree sniffled from the couch, rubbing her reddened cheek. "I’m not staying here if I’m going to be attacked for making an innocent mistake," she whined."Then leave!" I snapped. "Get the hell out of my life and marriage."Desiree gasped theatrically."Vienna, please! Can we keep it civil?" Warren interjected, his voice sharp.I turned on him, my pulse thundering in my ears. Grief, rage, betrayal—it all swirled in my chest like a hurricane ready to tear everything apart."Civil? There’s a murderer in this house and you’re telling me to apologize?" My voice shook. "Not only did she kill my cat, but she nearly got me killed too. She blatantly ignored my desperate call for help on YOUR phone. Remember?"Warren threw his hands up. "Those were mistakes, Vienna. I’ve already explained that I was busy at work—""You told me you'd protect me," I interrupted. "

Vienna’s POV"Now now, let’s not jump to conclusions," Warren said, stepping in like the eternal mediator. The peacekeeper who always seemed to lean one way: hers.I clutched Milo to my chest, his little body limp and eerily still. Warren crouched beside me and tried to examine him. But his face remained blank. Unknowing. Useless."I don’t know what’s wrong with him," he muttered, his brow furrowed in confusion."I bet she does," I said softly, my voice laced with accusation as I gently stroked Milo’s fur.Desiree sat up from the sofa casually, twirling a strand of hair around her finger. "I just gave him a piece of chocolate," she said, shrugging. "Didn’t expect him to react so badly."I froze."Chocolate?" I repeated slowly, my voice rising. "Are you serious? Chocolate is toxic to animals, Desiree. Deadly. And don't you dare stand there and act like you didn't know that. You wanted him gone the moment you moved in."She rolled her eyes and groaned. "Oh, here we go again. You always t
Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 28 - Shattered Promises
Vienna’s POV“You should do it, V! It’s an amazing opportunity.”Bella’s car glided quietly through the polished villa district, its tires humming against the asphalt. I leaned my forehead against the cool window, watching the tree-lined streets blur past. Fred’s job offer replayed over and over in my mind.“But what about the bakery?” I asked, my voice still raspy from all the coughing. The thought of stepping away from the place I’d built with my own hands—and yes, with Warren’s help too—sent a sharp pang through me.That little shop had been my anchor. My childhood dream was brought to life.Bella glanced over, her hands steady on the wheel. “What about it? You’ll always be the owner, and you’ve trained me well. I can manage things just as well as you, V. It’s not like you’d be abandoning it. You can stop by anytime, before or after your shift.”I bit my bottom lip. “I know. I just… I guess I didn’t expect change to come like this. So sudden. So unexpected.”Bella nodded, her tone
Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy Chapter 27 - The Offer
Vienna’s POV“What are you doing here?” I asked, my eyes widening in surprise as Fred stepped into the hospital room.He gave me a small, apologetic smile. “I stopped by your bakery earlier today, but found it closed. The florist next door told me about the accident. I just… wanted to check in, see if you were okay.”I blinked, momentarily stunned by the gesture. Of all the people I’d expected to walk through that door today, Fred wasn’t one of them. But his thoughtfulness disarmed me. “Oh. That’s… really kind of you. Thank you.”He took a cautious step forward and placed the bouquet gently on the bedside table. The subtle fragrance drifted through the air—clean, calming. Almost comforting.From the corner of my eye, I saw Bella straightening in her chair. Her expression shifted from curiosity to interest, eyebrows arching slightly as she looked him over—then at me, then back at him.I cleared my throat awkwardly. “Fred, this is Bella—my best friend and coworker at the bakery.”He tur
