All Chapters of Oops! I Left With The CEO's Heart: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“So... are you finally going to admit to yourself that you’re in love with her?”I froze, my gaze snapping to Tony as his words sent my heart pounding out of rhythm.“What are you talking about?” I asked, trying to sound unaffected, but my voice came out low and strained.Tony studied me carefully, his eyes thoughtful. “Shit,” he muttered, letting out a quiet laugh. “You really are in love with her.”He leaned back against the seat, his arms crossed loosely over his chest. “We've been friends for years, Alexander. And in that time, I swear I’d need a thousand fingers just to count how many times you’ve talked about her. And you should see your face when you talk about her. The way your face lights up, the way your eyes smile without you even realizing it. I didn't even know eyes could smile until you talked about her.”He shook his head, amusement tugging at his lips. “At first, I thought maybe you were just fond of her, like a protective big brother. But seeing your reactions now?” H

EMMASIX YEARS LATER“Mama, she’s doing it again!” a little boy’s voice rang from the hallway. “She’s using my toothbrush!”“No, I’m not!” a little girl shouted as she stomped into the kitchen in sparkly socks, her face wearing a guilty expression.I didn’t look up from the frying pan where I was turning the pancake. “Liana,” I said calmly.She pouted. “I couldn’t find mine.”I sighed. “Because you never put it back like I told you. Use your own, please.”Behind her, the little boy appeared, looking adorably annoyed. “She’s going to give me girl germs.”I stifled a smile. “There’s no such thing as girl germs, Liam. You both have the same germs. I made you in the same body, remember?”Liam wrinkled his nose. “Ew, don’t say that, mama.”Liana jammed her hands on her hips. “But I came out of your body first, right? So I’m the eldest. Liam should respect me.”“You were both pulled out within two minutes of each other,” I said, finally turning off the heat as the last pancake finished cook

Feeling my throat tighten, I turned and began walking away. I couldn't afford for my kids to see me disoriented.My feet carried me into the kitchen. I leaned on the counter and dragged in a deep breath. The sound of the game still played softly in the background. Liam's excited squeals, Liana's giggles.“Hey, are you okay?” Celia's voice came behind me.I turned to her, flashing her a smile. “Yes.”“Are you sure? Because I can take care of dinner if you...”“No, no, it's fine. I'm fine Celia. Go take care of the drawings you have to submit. I'll let you know once dinner is ready.”She studied me specifically before nodding and leaving the kitchen. Letting out a sigh, I turned to the kitchen cabinet."Hey, you okay?” Stefano's voice almost startled me.I turned around and saw him walking into the kitchen while watching me with that quiet concern in his eyes.I nodded. "Yeah. I just..." I cleared my throat. "Thank you. For the console you got for Liam. He's very happy. And you brought

ALEXI slowly scrolled through the graphs and reports on my computer screen, pausing every now and then to make sure the projections matched the last quarter. They didn't just match; they exceeded them.Over the years, Miller Enterprises had expanded into more industries, and the returns had been exponential. Especially in the last three years.Three years since I finally gave up searching for her.I leaned back in my chair, dragging a hand down my jaw.The first two years after Emma vanished were chaos. I had poured everything I had into finding her. Contacts. Investigators. Private security firms. I pulled every thread and connection and called in every favor.But it was like she had disappeared off the face of the earth.A part of me always suspected her father had a hand in that. Alden Richards had more connections than I did, and I was sure that he had used those connections to ensure that I never found Emma.Eventually, after two years of searching for her, I finally accepted th

ALEXI left the office earlier than usual and passed by the supermarket to buy some gifts. I was going to my sister's house to see my nieces and nephew.I hadn’t seen them in a while because things had gotten busier, but I missed them. Spending time with them was one of the few things that gave me peace and contentment, even if just for an hour or two.Pulling onto the porch, I immediately slipped the ring off my finger and slid it into my pocket. My sister didn't know about the ring I wore to ward off women. If she did, I would never hear the end of it.Before I could knock, the front door swung open.Tessa stood there with a mock annoyed expression. “Look who decided to show up. I thought you were going to bail again.”“I’m sorry,” I said, stepping forward. “Been a bit caught up.”Her face broke into a smile. “Well, you can make it up to the kids. They’ve been expecting you.”I didn’t even get through the doorway before the stampede began.“Uncle Alex!”“Uncle Al, you’re here!”Litt
