All Chapters of My Stepbrother's Regret: Reunited with Twins : Chapter 1 - Chapter 5

OrisWhen I finally opened my eyes, the sight confirmed the one thing I feared.Two lines stood out starkly on the test. Two lines…Pregnant.I blinked as though doing so would somehow change the result. Because it couldn't be. But nothing changed. The two pink lines remained.“Holy shit.” I whispered. I was REALLY pregnant.A sharp knock made me nearly jump out of my skin. My gaze darted towards the bathroom door."Babe, you okay in there?” Perry, my best friend's voice rang through the muffled bass. Usually I would feel soothed by her concern.
