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."

He shot her a sharp, mocking smirk. "But looking at you now, seems like you're not so innocent yourself. Barely a second after leaving me, and you're already cozying up to another guy. What's wrong, Vera? Was I not enough for you?"

His words grew crueler by the second, his tone dripping with bitterness.

Seeing her standing next to another man ignited something inside him a twisted, ugly fire of resentment and wounded ego.

She had never given herself to him.

But she had no problem giving herself to someone else?

Vera stood frozen, stunned by the sheer audacity of the man she had once cared about.

Had she really loved this kind of person?

Her stomach twisted, the pain of betrayal settling in.
