CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Thick smoke filled Karina's lungs, choking her until she felt she might suffocate at any moment.

Even with a damp towel pressed against her nose and mouth, she knew their time was running out. If rescue didn't arrive soon, they wouldn't last much longer.

She turned slightly, looking at the man beside her.

Wilfred was holding her tightly in his arms, his body a protective shield against the flames that danced dangerously close.

Her nose stung, and an overwhelming wave of emotion surged through her. For the first time in years, she felt the urge to cry.

at any second, and there was no guarantee either of them would wake again.

It wasn't logical, but Karina couldn't stop herself. In a voice barely audible, hoarse from the smoke, she whispered, "In our next life, I still want to be with you."

She felt a firm squeeze on her waist-it was Wilfred's hand, strong and deliberate.

He didn't say a word, but his message was crystal clear: "Don't say such things."
