CEO's Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Vera felt like she was being played for a fool. The realization twisted like a knife in her chest, but she forced out a cold, mocking laugh.

"You really think I'm that easy to fool?"

The moment she saw the name "Baby" flash across the screen-and the flicker of guilt in his eyes-she knew.

This wasn't just some random contact.

For all she knew, he had been with someone else the entire time they were together.

Sam's expression darkened. "Well, maybe if you'd let me touch you, I wouldn't have needed to find someone else."

Her stomach twisted, the pain of betrayal settling in.
