Lahat ng Kabanata ng PREGNANT WITH THE COLD CEO'S BABY: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Kaira's POV."I, uh…" I started but stopped halfway, unsure how to continue. How was I supposed to tell Damian that I suddenly felt like throwing up, right after saying the food was fine? He’d probably think I was lying about the taste, pretending to save the chef.My stomach twisted again, and my face followed, scrunching up in discomfort as the thought ran through my head.When I looked up, Damian’s eyes were already on me. They widened slightly, waiting for me to finish my sentence, but he didn’t say a word.Slowly, my gaze drifted toward the chef I had just saved, then to the chief maid, both of whom looked worried but said nothing. Their brows furrowed, clearly noticing my unease, yet no one dared to ask. Not with Damian right there.I looked away quickly, lowering my head. My face was hot, my body tense, and the nausea only grew worse. I wished the ground would just open up and swallow me whole.Oh no. How do I get out of this?I shut my eyes, embarrassed and helpless, praying

Kaira's POV.It is him.The words slipped out in my mind in a low, shaky whisper as the truth finally settled in.Still held against him, I blinked hard, not wanting to accept what my eyes were telling me. But then he called my name again, "Kaira," his gaze locked on me like he wanted to read every thought in my head.That was when I knew I could not hide anymore. It is really him.My mind scattered. What do I say to him now? How do I act normal after he saw... after everything that just happened? The shame rushed back and my stomach tightened again.No. I shut my eyes fast. His eyes widened a little, noticing it.While I was still lost in thought, trying to decide whether to speak or disappear, Damian helped me stand upright. His hand stayed on my shoulder, warm and steady."How do you feel now?" he asked. His voice was calm and gentle, the kind that made my heartbeat jump even more.I opened one eye slowly, testing the moment, almost afraid of what I would see next.His gaze stayed

Kaira's POVWe stepped out of the elevator at last. Inside, the silence felt tight and airless, as if the walls were pressing in. I could feel Damian’s gaze sharpening on me the whole time, heavy and impossible to ignore, but I forced myself to stay still. I kept my eyes down and my mouth shut. I did not trust myself to speak. One word and everything boiling inside me would burst out.It was the same quiet shell I used to retreat into whenever I got bullied at home or when Tonia’s friends mocked me. Back then, staying calm was easy. But with Damian, it felt impossible. Every small thing about him twisted my chest, irritated my nerves, pushed at a part of me I could not explain. Since he stepped into my life, everything had started shifting in strange, unsettling ways.We approached the car. It was the same one he used when he showed up at my house. He seemed attached to it, almost protective of it.My eyes drifted to Mr. Stewart before I realized what I was doing.Then it hit me.Oh m

Kaira's POV"Why did you do it?"The question came out of me in a hoarse whisper before I could stop myself.Damian’s brow lifted slightly. He didn’t answer.... and just watched me, confused, waiting.I cleared my throat, trying to recover. "Ahem… you know what I meant. I mean…"My face twisted with irritation as my thoughts scrambled uselessly. I knew what I wanted to ask, but the words just wouldn’t come out in order."Why? You don’t like it here?" Damian asked calmly. "If you really don’t...""Says who? I so love it here."The words fell out of my mouth before I even realized what I’d said.I froze.Wait… what? What did I just say?I hated being near Damian. My skin was on fire, my heart was a mess, my brain wasn’t even mine anymore... and yet I still didn’t want to leave when I had the chance? That wasn’t me. That was… I don’t know. A malfunctioning version of me.Damian didn’t look away and just kept staring quietly.Sheepishly, I bit down hard on my thoughts.Why is he looking

"She's safe, for now," Jeremy said in a low voice.As soon as Tony heard the word safe, he breathed out a long sigh of relief before Jeremy could even finish the sentence.To him, that was all that mattered."Thank God she's safe." He muttered under his breath, shutting his eyes as if that alone could calm the storm crashing in his chest.He stayed like that for a moment, breathing, grounding himself, before his eyes slowly opened again, and he looked up at Jeremy with worry still clinging to his features, but a bit steadier than before."What did Don orchestrate this time? Did Kaira notice anything...?"He paused.The next question trembled on his lips, heavy and sour, like he was afraid to even let it out.His throat tightened. "Did she... see them?"He asked it quietly, almost like he was terrified of hearing the answer."Anything like me?" he finally asked after a long pause.Jeremy let out a long sigh before answering."Is that what matters to you? Whether Kaira finds out what rea
