All Chapters of Oops! I Left With The CEO's Heart: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Later in my office, I was halfway through cleaning up the curve of a balcony rail on one of our upcoming housing designs when there was a knock on the door."¿Sí?" I called out, my eyes still on the screen.My secretary peeked in. "Stefano Aguirre está aquí para verte."“Stefano?”She nodded.I grimaced slightly. This wasn’t the first time Stefano had dropped by my office, but he usually texted or called first."Let him in," I said.The door opened, and Stefano stepped in, his signature dazzling smile on his face. One of his hands was tucked behind his back like he was hiding a gift for a magician's act."Hola," he grinned."Stefano," I got up, already smiling despite myself. "I wasn't expecting you."Without a word, he stepped forward and revealed what was behind his back. It was a bouquet of fresh roses. They were gorgeous. They looked like they had been specially handpicked."Para la mujer más bella del mundo," he said with an exaggerated bow.I shook my head and took the bouquet f

ALEXIf someone had told me last week that I’d become the kind of guy who followed a woman around like some stalker, I would’ve told them to fuck off.But here I am. Doing exactly that.I’d seen Emma rush out of the restaurant like her world was falling apart, Stefano Aguirre following close behind her. Both of them jumping into his car like they didn’t have time to breathe.I didn’t think. I just got into mine and followed from a distance.Shame pooled somewhere in my chest, but I told myself it was fine. I wasn’t doing this to win her back or force myself into her life. She’d already asked me to leave her alone. And I was going to.I just needed to make sure she was safe and happy first.I gripped the wheel tighter as they pulled into a parking lot. It was the parking lot of a school.I blinked. What were they doing here? Did she work here too? Was she picking something up? My gut twisted the moment I saw her jump out of the car, not even bothering to close the door before sprinting

I knew Stefano was trying to rub it in that Emma was his, but it still hit like a sucker punch to the stomach, even though I already knew it.Still, I managed to keep my face calm.“If you’re so sure of her love for you,” I began, “then you’ve got nothing to worry about from me. I’m not here to cause problems. I just want to make sure Emma is okay.”His jaw tightened, his nostrils flaring like a bull about to charge. “You—”“Por favor, bajen la voz!” a nurse said sharply from behind the desk, then continued in a deep Spanish accent. “This is a hospital and a paediatric ward at that. If you continue, I’ll have to ask you to leave.”Stefano shot her a quick glare before dropping into the chair with a huff. He muttered something under his breath and crossed one leg over the other, his arms folded tightly like he was keeping himself from exploding.I stayed on my feet a moment longer before sitting on a different couch across the room.The silence between us was heavy and thick with wordl

ALEXFlabbergasted didn’t even begin to cover what I felt after the words that left Emma's mouth.I stood there, frozen, her words echoing in my ears like some kind of hallucination I couldn’t wake up from."You're their father."My whole world tilted sideways. My chest felt so tight that I could barely breathe.Finally, I began moving toward her, my movements slow, my legs stiff like they were unsure what the hell was going on. Then I stopped in front of her.“What did you say?” I asked, my voice low and careful. “Emma… what did you just say?”I had to be sure I hadn’t imagined it. That it wasn’t some cruel joke my brain decided to play on me. I needed her to say it again.Another tear slid down her cheek, and she looked me dead in the eye. “You’re their father, Alex,” she said again. “They’re yours.”I didn’t move for several seconds. My gaze drifted over her shoulder to the backseat of the car, where the twins were pressed against the window, watching us like we were a scene on a s

After Stefano left, I walked quietly back into the kids’ room. Stefano had thoughtfully turned the lights off and drawn the curtains for them, leaving the room dim enough to help them sleep better.Walking forward, I stood over them for some time. Liam’s little chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, his lips slightly parted. Liana’s arm had already found her stuffed bunny and wrapped around it.I sat down on the small couch near the window and let myself sink back into the cushions. Watching them like this… peaceful, unbothered by anything in the world, always made me feel two things at once: peace and fear.They were everything to me. My biggest reasons for keeping on after racing Baltimore. They were mine. Just mine. But now it felt like that was slipping out of my hands.I didn’t realize I was crying until a warm drop landed on the back of my hand. Then another. And another. A sob escaped my throat before I could hold it in, and soon I was shaking quietly as tears ran down my chee
