His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 111 — On Record
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghShe called Harrison at eight AM the next morning, while Lewis was doing the school run with Claire.He answered on the first ring. She'd noticed he always answered quickly now. Like he was waiting."The RIAS nomination," she said. "You listed yourself as lead draughtsman on the Canongate elevation drawings.""Yes.""Why."A pause. Not evasion. Harrison pausing was different from Harrison avoiding — she'd learned to tell the difference."I am seventy-one years old," he said. "Sterling Industries will be Lewis's in five years, formally, though it's already his in practice. My name will be on a building in the City of London that I commissioned at forty-eight and a boardroom I occupied for thirty years." Another pause. "The Canongate drawings are the first thing I've designed since I was twenty-six. I wanted it on record before I run out of time to put things on record."Yessica looked out the kitchen window.The garden. The gate with the good latch. A
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 110 — Ask
POV: Lewis | Location: EdinburghIt happened on a Tuesday.No particular reason. No planning. Lewis had specifically not planned it, because planning it would have made it a performance, and he'd spent two years learning the difference.It was a Tuesday evening, six weeks into the new house. Rose had a cold — not serious, just miserable, the particular low-grade misery of a fourteen-month-old who couldn't understand why her nose wasn't working. She'd been up twice the night before. Lewis had taken the two AM shift because Yessica had a seven AM site meeting at Canongate.They were in the kitchen after the girls were down. Yessica was going through drawings at the table — Bellamy Holdings project, red pen, the focused expression she got when she was finding errors. Lewis was washing up. Just the domestic machinery of a Tuesday night in a house they'd been living in for six weeks.He turned off the tap.Dried his hands.Looked at her at the table."I want to ask you something," he said.
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 109 — The Room
POV: Lewis | Location: EdinburghHe'd spent four hours on the bookshelves.Floor-to-ceiling, both alcoves flanking the chimney breast, exactly as Yessica had described on the day they'd first viewed the house. He'd sourced the same oak as the existing shelving in the hallway so it matched. He'd checked the measurements twice. He'd even grouped the books she'd already unpacked by the system she used at Bellamy Holdings — subject, then author, then date.He'd thought it would make her happy.He was wrong.Yessica came home at six from the client meeting, walked into the room, and stood in the doorway.Thirty seconds of silence."You went in my room," she said."I wanted to surprise you. The shelves—""I can see the shelves." Her voice was completely level. That was worse than anger. "Lewis, I told you. This room was mine.""I know, I just thought—""You thought." She turned to look at him. "You thought, so you made a decision about my space without asking me.""It was supposed to be—""
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 108 — Moving Day
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghThe removal van arrived at seven-fifteen.Claire was already dressed, sitting on her packed boxes in the hallway of the old flat, wearing her good coat with the brass buttons because she'd decided moving day was an occasion."Are we going now," she said."Soon," Yessica said."That means not now.""It means soon."Claire considered this, found it inadequate, and went to supervise the removal men instead.Lewis arrived at seven-thirty with coffee and a look that said he hadn't slept much. He handed her a cup without speaking. She took it."How's the flat," she said."Empty," he said. "It was never really — I don't know. I was always waiting.""I know."Rose was in the carrier on Yessica's chest, watching the removal men with the focused attention of a one-year-old who had decided large strangers carrying furniture were extremely interesting.By nine AM the old flat was hollow. Just walls and the marks where bookshelves had been and a rectangle of slig
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 107 — What Sienna Wants
POV: Lewis | Location: EdinburghLewis called Sienna directly.She picked up on the third ring."The Granville Terrace offer," he said. "That's you."A pause. "Yes.""You're trying to buy our house.""I'm trying to buy a house." Her voice was careful. "I didn't know it was the specific one you'd chosen until my agent sent me the address this morning. By then the offer was already in."Lewis looked at Yessica. She was watching his face, reading it the way she'd learned to over the past year.He put the call on speaker."You could withdraw the offer," Lewis said."I could," Sienna said. "But I'd like to explain something first.""Go ahead.""I'm leaving London," she said. "Permanently. I gave notice on my flat two weeks ago. The Edinburgh office — the one Harrison funded — I've bought out his stake in it. It's mine outright now." A beat. "I'm moving here. That's not about you. That's not about Lewis. It's about the fact that I built something here and I'm not going to let Harrison Sterl
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 106 — Hart Books
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghHart Books smelled like it always had — paper, old wood, the particular warmth of a building that had been heated by the same cast-iron radiator for thirty years.Her father was behind the counter when she walked in.He took one look at her face and said, "I'll put the kettle on."That was Theron Hart. No preamble. No pretending the expression on her face meant something other than what it meant.The shop was quiet on a Thursday morning — one customer in the poetry section, another browsing cookbooks near the window. Her father moved through to the back room and she followed, past the shelf of staff picks he'd been curating since she was nine years old, past the framed photo of her mother at a bookshop in Lisbon, 1991.He handed her a mug.She sat on the stool she'd been sitting on since she was small enough to need a step to reach it."How long have you known I almost moved to Glasgow," she said.Theron wrapped his hands around his own mug. "Pippa t
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 7 — THE CONFRONTATION
POV: Yessica | Location: New YorkShe sent the message at seven AM.Not impulsively — she'd been awake since five, lying in the grey pre-dawn with the draft on her phone and her hand on her stomach and the silver box in the drawer, running the decision forward and backward until it stopped feeling l
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 10 — THE RECKONING
POV: Lewis | Location: New YorkThe letter was on the kitchen counter.Lewis had read it four times before he noticed his hands were shaking.By the time you read this, Claire and I will be somewhere you can't follow.He set it down.Picked it up.Read it again."Yessica." Her name came out broken.
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 24 — THE REUNION
POV: Lewis | Location: New YorkPippa was already seated when Lewis walked in.Arms crossed. Back straight. The expression of someone who had agreed to this meeting and was already regretting it.Lewis ordered two coffees at the counter — black, no sugar, the way he'd watched Pippa drink it at a do
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 21 — THE BUSINESS DEAL
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghThe shop opened at nine.Agnes unlocked the door at eight forty-five and handed Yessica a broom without explanation."Start with the front step," Agnes said. "Edinburgh rain brings everything in."Yessica started with the front step.Pages Poetry was exactly what
