All Chapters of She Was Never The One: The CEO's Regret: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Adrian, please, can you just listen to me for once?” Sera's voice trembled as she stood across the living room, trying to keep herself composed despite the anger in his face. The argument had already gone on for several minutes, and from the way Adrian stared at her, it was clear that he had no intention of letting her explain herself. “I have told you before, I never meant for what happened to Celine to happen. I would never deliberately hurt my own sister.”Adrian scoffed, his expression hardening as he looked at her. “Your sister?” he repeated bitterly. “Don't stand there pretending you care about her now, Sera. If you truly cared about Celine, she wouldn't have ended up like this. She wouldn't have lost the life she had, and she wouldn't have disappeared from everyone who loved her.” Sera's lips parted as she tried to respond, but Adrian continued before she could get a word out. “You always have an explanation ready, but you never take responsibility. You were there that day,

Dr. Carter's expression softened as she looked at Sera. “Mrs. Cole, I have some good news for you. You're pregnant.” For a moment, Sera simply stared at her, as though the words had reached her ears but her mind had not yet caught up with them. “Pregnant?” she repeated quietly. Dr. Carter nodded with a small smile. “Yes. You're still in the early stages, but the tests are clear.” Sera lowered her gaze to her hands, her fingers slowly tightening around one another. She remained silent for several seconds before finally asking, “Are you sure?” “I'm sure,” Dr. Carter replied gently. “And from what you've told me about your recent symptoms, the nausea and fatigue are most likely related to the pregnancy.”Sera's lips parted slightly, but no words came. The news should have been simple, even joyful, yet she sat there unable to find the right expression for what she had just heard. Dr. Carter noticed her silence and leaned forward slightly. “I know this may be a lot to take in, but you ne

For the first few days after that night, Adrian barely stayed at home. He would leave early and return at odd hours, sometimes remaining in the house for only a short while before heading out again. At first, Sera tried not to pay much attention to it. She told herself that he was simply busy, especially with everything happening around CIG Holdings. The company had been through a difficult period, but there had also been noticeable progress in recent weeks, enough for her to believe that Adrian's constant movement could simply be connected to the work that came with getting the company back on steady ground. Still, as the days passed, his absence became harder to ignore. Whenever he returned, there was always somewhere else he needed to be, something else demanding his attention, and before Sera could even get used to having him around again, he would be gone. She found herself watching the entrance whenever she heard a car pull into the compound, hoping that perhaps this time he

Sera’s voice came out barely above a whisper. “Why?” Adrian looked at her without any change in his expression, his face cold and unreadable. “I’m not here to argue with you, Sera,” he said coldly. “I’m not here to go back and forth over a decision I’ve already made. I’ve considered everything, and I have nothing more to say.” He tapped the documents lightly before pushing them closer to her. “I’ve already signed my part. All that is left now is for you to sign yours.” Sera remained still, her eyes fixed on the papers, but when she slowly tilted her head, she saw Celine sitting beside Adrian, watching her with a faint, satisfied smile. The sight alone was enough to make humiliation rush through her, hot and painful, until she felt it settle heavily in her chest. She quickly lowered her eyes, reached for the documents with trembling fingers, and held them tightly against herself. Adrian picked up his briefcase and rose from his seat. “I’m going upstairs to freshen up,” he said cold

Adrian was already awake when the first light of morning began filtering through the curtains. He stood near the wardrobe, buttoning the cuff of his shirt while checking the time on his phone. His suit jacket was already hanging over one arm, and his briefcase rested on the chair beside him. The quiet movement in the room eventually stirred Celine, who opened her eyes and watched him for a moment before speaking in a sleepy voice. “Adrian, baby.” He glanced toward the bed. “You're awake?” Celine stretched beneath the covers, her eyes following him as he picked up his jacket. “You're going to work already?” “Yes. I have a deal to close this morning.” He slipped his jacket on and reached for his phone again, quickly checking a message from his office. Celine smiled. “You really don't know how to rest, do you?” Adrian gave a faint smile. “Not when there's business to handle.” She watched him for a moment before her expression became more serious. “What about Sera?”Adrian's expressio
