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?"

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?"

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

Her stomach twisted, the pain of betrayal settling in.
