HIS FORSAKEN WIFE HIS GREATEST REGRET
They took her daughter—
They thought they won.
They underestimated her.
Roberta Riggs was the invisible wife of a powerful billionaire—silent, obedient, and easy to overlook.
When her husband, Jace Riggs, reveals he has a secret son with another woman, Roberta’s world cracks. When he demands that their seven-year-old daughter, Ziva, risk her life to save that child… it shatters.
And when Ziva dies—after the hospital neglects her for a VIP patient—something inside Roberta breaks beyond repair.
Betrayed by her husband.
Destroyed by the people she trusted.
Silenced by a powerful family.
Roberta loses everything.
Until she meets him—Brett Temples.
The man she had a reckless one-night stand with years ago.
The man who unknowingly played a role in her daughter’s death.
He’s powerful. He’s married.
And he doesn’t remember her.
But he will.
And when he does, he offers her something dangerous: power… and revenge. But revenge is never simple.
And when their love begins to grow in the ashes of betrayal, one final truth threatens to destroy it all.
They made one mistake—
they didn’t make sure Roberta stayed broken.
She rose.
Now she is done begging. Done forgiving. Done being the woman they could control.
She’s coming back with power.
With secrets about her past, they tried to bury.
With a truth that can burn an empire to the ground.
And this time—
She’s ruthless.
She’s not asking for justice.
She’s taking it.

Chapter: The Betrayal Behind the ComfortRoberta’s POV"Mommy." Ziva's voice was very quiet. "I want to save Nolan.""Ziva""I want to." She looked up at me. Her eyes were dry, but her face was doing the thing it always did before the real cry came, the way she held everything in with every muscle. "I saw him today. He's not okay. He doesn't look like he's okay.""That's not for you to worry about""If he dies, everyone will hate us." Her voice broke on the last word. Then the tears came, fast and hard, the kind she'd been holding in for a long time. "And I'll eventually hate myself, Mommy. I'll hate myself forever because I could help, and I didn't, and he died""I saw him, Mommy. He's really sick. His hands were shaking. His skin was grey. He can't run. He can't play. He might really die.""Ziva""He's my brother." Tears streamed down her face. "Even if he was mean to me. Even if Grandma says I don't count, he's still my brother. I don't want you to get in trouble with Grandma Irene." Another sob ripped through her."I want

His hair looked like a movie star.My heart jumped."Mrs. Alvarez, that's my daddy! That's Jace Riggs!"Mrs. Alvarez looked. Some kids looked too. I sat up straight. I wanted everyone to see.

At my classroom door. In his suit."Ziva." He smiled at me. A real smile. "Come on, princess. We're going on an adventure."I grabbed my backpack so fast I almost fell. I waved to Ryan. I wanted her to see. See? I told you. That's my daddy.In the car, there was a boy in the back seat.He was small. Pale. His head looked too big for his body. His eyes were dark and quiet.

Chapter: Her Only Crime Was Being a GirlRoberta’s POVThe second I saw Ziva standing at the bottom of the stairs, her little face pale and frightened, something inside me broke.I crossed the room before I even thought about it and pulled her into my arms.“Grandma?” Ziva whispered.But Irene looked straight at her.“You have a brother, Ziva. His name is Nolan. He’s very sick. He needs your help.”Ziva blinked up at her, confused.“Your father has been taking care of him,” Irene continued. “Now you need to take care of him too. That’s what family does.”“No.” My voice cracked like a whip. “You will not talk about my daughter like she’s some tool to save your illegitimate grandson. She is a child.”“She’s old enough to understand duty,” Jace said.Without even flinching.Ziva’s lower lip trembled.“Did I do something wrong?” she asked softly. “I’ll be good. I promise.

Chapter: The Secret Child Revealed - FlashbackRoberta’s POVOne month ago, I had a healthy daughter who laughed too loudly and called me Mommy. She wrapped her little arms around my waist and looked up at me with those big bright eyes.Until that night.“You had a son,” I said, pacing the living room. My voice shook anyway. “With another woman. And you kept him a secret for five years. Is that what you’re saying, Jace?”“Sit down, Roberta.”He said it so casually that for a second I just stared at him. Then I sat.“His name is Nolan,” he said. “And he’s sick. Very sick.”My hands went numb.“Who’s the mother?”“That doesn’t matter right now.”“Who is she, Jace?”His jaw tightened.“What matters is that Nolan needs a bone marrow transplant.” He paused. “Ziva is a match.”I stared at him.Then I understood.“No.”“Roberta”“No. Don’t.” I stood so fast the room tilted. “Don’t tell me you have a son and then ask me to hand over my daughter.”His expression hardened.“She’s his sister.”“How do you even know she’s a match?”Silence.T

Chapter: The VIP Who Stole Her Only ChanceRoberta's POV"Someone help me!"My voice ricocheted off the hospital walls. Ziva burned in my arms—five years old, skin like paper, breath shallow enough to stop my heart.The nurse at the front desk set down her pen. Slowly. Like I was an interruption."Ma'am, please lower your""Don't." I slammed my palm on the desk. Ziva's head lolled against my shoulder. Her lips were pale. Her eyelids bruised purple underneath. "She had surgery. Something went wrong. She needs a doctor now."The nurse's fingers hovered over her keyboard. "What kind of surgery?""Bone marrow transplant.""Which hospital?"The question landed like a slap.I opened my mouth. Nothing came out."Ma'am. Which hospital performed the procedure?"My throat closed. How do you explain that your husband took your daughter—your daughter—to save his bastard son and you weren't allowed to come? How do you say those words out loud without sounding like a monster?"I don't know."Both nurses looked up."You don't know.""No."Th
