Vienna’s POV

Desiree giggled, eyes bright as she scrolled through her phone. “It’s your ex—Lauren!” she squealed, practically bouncing on the couch. “Wow, she hasn’t changed a thing. Still stunning.”

I halted just inside the living room. I remembered the ex Desiree had once eagerly shown me. The one who looked disturbingly similar to me.

Warren barely glanced over, eyes fixed on the TV. “Mm-hmm,” he grunted, disinterested.

I tilted my head slightly, watching him carefully. Was that lack of reaction genuine indifference? Or was he trying not to stir up trouble, pretending not to care?

“When did you two even connect?” Warren asked lazily, eyes still on the screen as he stretched an arm over the back of the couch.

“Oh, just today,” Desiree chirped. “I saw she’d followed me on Instagram, so I peeked at her profile. She’s killing it in Europe, you know—huge career, so sophisticated. Really impressive, right?”

She emphasized the words with a sly edge, her tone dancing just shy of smug. My f

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 59 - Between Friend and Rival

    Vienna’s POVFred didn’t answer Ashley’s bold question right away. Instead, he gave her a calm, even look and said, “Ashley, don’t joke around like that.”Ashley gave an innocent shrug, her voice light but edged. “I’m just saying… you’ve never taken any other pastry chef out for coffee after work. Not even me—and I’ve known you my whole life.” She let the words hang between us, her eyes glancing pointedly from me to Fred.Fred sat back slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the side of his cup. “Ashley, I was concerned because Vienna made an unusual mistake today. I thought something might be on her mind. That’s all. Just concern for a new colleague.”Ashley leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm. “Oh? But if there’s no special feelings, Fred, why did you personally go to explain the delay to the customers today? That’s never happened before. You’ve always sent the manager.”Fred’s jaw tightened slightly. “Ashley,” he said, his voice sharp, “as the CEO of Taste Royalty, I don’

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 58 - Crashing the Conversation

    Vienna’s POV"I know," I rushed to explain, my words tumbling out faster than I could control. "It probably sounds crazy after everything, but… things have been complicated. He’s really trying, and…" I trailed off, realizing just how messy and tangled my feelings were. And how inappropriate it was to expose all of it to my boss.But Fred just gave a slow, thoughtful nod. His green eyes studied me carefully. "That’s… big news," he said softly.I forced a small, slightly nervous smile. "Yeah. I suppose it is.""Well," Fred added after a moment, "children need their father, after all. I can understand why you’d want to give him another chance."That sentence made something in my chest tighten. I let out a small breath. "Thanks. But let’s, uh, steer back to work, if you don’t mind," I added quickly. "Probably not the smartest idea to pour out my personal life to my boss."Fred chuckled, his gaze softening. "Fair enough. But just so you know, you can always talk to me. We’re a team here."

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 57 - Shaky Hands, Heavy Heart

    Vienna’s POVI arrived at work, hair slightly disheveled, heart pounding. My legs felt heavy, and my head was foggy—partly from lack of sleep, partly from the emotional weight I’d been dragging around.Ashley walked up just as I was pulling open the staff entrance. "Ah, another early bird!" she chimed brightly, giving me a sideways grin.I forced a weak smile. "Yeah… can’t seem to sleep in these days."As we headed into the changing area to slip on our uniforms, Ashley kept chatting, her voice light and cheerful. "I was thinking we could experiment with the raspberry mousse later—Fred wants to tweak the texture for the new menu, maybe add a hint of basil. What do you think?""Mhm," I murmured, only half-listening.Inside, I kept nodding as she floated ideas. But my mind was far away—drifting back to this morning. Warren’s sleeping face, his voice murmuring softly: Come back, come back. My stomach clenched. Was he calling for me… or for his ex? The thought wouldn’t leave me alone, coi

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 56 - Dressed to Disrupt

    Desiree’s POVAs we sat together at the breakfast table, I watched Warren glance at his phone for the fifth time in as many minutes. I knew who he was looking for.Vienna.It was clear I was no match for her. Not in his eyes.Though honestly, he must be blind—he had an absolute bombshell sitting right in front of him.I sighed softly, letting just a flicker of frustration slip before smoothing it over with a well-practiced pout. "I promise I won’t bring those things up around Vienna again, okay?" I murmured, my voice soft, laced with just the right amount of vulnerability. "Please don’t be angry with me, Warren."Predictably, he softened. His expression eased as he reached up, giving my shoulder a small squeeze."It’s alright. I’m not angry," he said, his voice low, a hint of warmth creeping in. "I know you didn’t mean anything by it."I gave a small, weary nod, rubbing my eyes and letting out a delicate yawn. Just enough to tug at his protective instincts.He frowned, concern flashin

  • Regretful Heart: CEO's Tears Over Her Pregnancy   Chapter 55 - Echoes of Her Absence

    Warren’s POVI jolted awake, my heart hammering against my ribs. My T-shirt clung to my chest, damp with cold sweat.A nightmare.I turned sharply, reaching for the other side of the bed—but it was cold. Empty."No," I whispered, a knot tightening in my stomach. I sat up abruptly, running both hands through my hair, trying to shake off the lingering images."It was just a dream," I muttered under my breath.Just then I heard soft movement across the room.I turned my head, and there she was—Vienna—standing at the closet, sorting through her clothes. She was still in her nightgown, her auburn hair pulled into a loose bun.Relief flooded me so intensely I almost laughed.In the dream, Vienna had been walking away from me. Her back stiff, her footsteps determined. No matter how much I called after her, no matter how I reached out, she never turned back.But now, here she was. Against all odds, she really had come back to me yesterday. "Morning, V," I murmured, my voice thick with leftove
