All Chapters of Hate To Love: The CEO's Regret: Chapter 131 - Chapter 135

Laura’s POV The moment Richard’s lips brushed mine, everything inside me froze. It wasn’t passion—it was panic. Reality hit hard, clearing the fog that had been blinding me for weeks. What was I doing? I stepped back immediately, breathing hard. “Richard, no. This isn’t right,” I said, my voice trembling. “I’m married. I can’t do this to Elijah.” He looked shocked, guilt written across his face. “Laura, I didn’t mean to—” “I know,” I interrupted before he could finish. “But that doesn’t make it okay.” I rubbed my temples, trying to calm the pounding in my chest. “You’re Elijah’s friend, for God’s sake. What just happened can’t happen again.” He lowered his head, his voice rough with regret. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have crossed that line.” The air between us grew heavy. The garden that had seemed peaceful moments ago now felt suffocating. I wanted to move, to say something that could fix the awkwardness, but before I could, my phone started ringing sharply in m

Laura’s POVThe hospital room was heavy with silence, broken only by the faint beeping of the monitors and the occasional rustle of a nurse in the corridor.

Luna’s POVThe house was quiet, the kind of silence that made every creak in the floorboards feel amplified. I had spent the morning cleaning, trying to distract myself from the gnawing anxiety I’d been feeling all week. But no amount of sweeping or organizing could erase the flutter in my stomach, the unshakable feeling that something was about to change—something big.I closed my eyes for a moment, pressing a hand to my lower belly. It had been subtle at first—nausea, slight fatigue—but now it was undeniable. I was pregnant. My heart raced as I imagined telling Jaden, picturing his reaction.
