His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 246: She Said Goodbye to His Father
Lewis helped Harrison into his shirt that morning.Harrison had asked to be dressed properly. No hospital gown, no compromise. A real shirt, his navy cardigan, his hair combed.He looked at himself in the handheld mirror when they finished and said, "Good enough."Lewis set the mirror down. The car would arrive at half past ten. He had twenty minutes, and he spent them sitting in the hallway outside his father's door, listening to the house breathe.He heard the car before he saw it.He opened the front door himself.The woman who stepped out of the supervised transport stopped him cold. He had prepared for Catherine Sterling — sixty-five, prison-aged, diminished.He had not prepared for the degree of it. Her hair had gone entirely white. She was thin in a way that looked like something systematic had taken place over a long time. She wore dark trousers and a pale blouse, nothing like the armored designer suits she had built her identity around.Her hands, clasped in front of her, sho
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 245: He's Dying
Yessica found Harrison on the kitchen floor at half past seven in the morning.He was conscious, which was the first relief. His eyes were open, tracking, and the moment he saw her, he said, very clearly, "Don't make a fuss."His voice was wrong. Slower than usual. One side of his mouth had gone slightly slack.She was already dialing 999 before he finished the sentence.The paramedics were efficient. Harrison was not pleased with any of them.At the hospital, the neurologist was a careful woman who looked Yessica directly in the eye when she delivered the news."Recovery is unlikely. We're talking weeks to months, potentially. We'll need to discuss what he wants regarding care."What Harrison wanted was to go home.Lewis arrived within an hour, still in his work jacket. Pale. The particular pale of someone who'd been bracing for news without realizing they were bracing.Yessica held his hand in the corridor. He didn't cry. He asked the right questions, nodded at the right times, and
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 244: She Filed a Request
The call came on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after the vow renewal.Lewis was standing in the kitchen, mug in hand, when Eleanor's name lit up his screen. He set down the coffee and answered."She's filed a request." Eleanor didn't waste time on a greeting. "Supervised meeting. Her parole conditions allow it if both parties consent and I facilitate."Lewis didn't respond."She wants to see you. Her words—I'm reading directly—*I want to apologize to my son. Explain myself. Seek forgiveness before I die.*"Through the baby monitor on the counter, he could hear Yessica moving upstairs. The creak of the floorboards he kept meaning to fix. Ordinary sounds. The kind he'd spent years fighting for."Before she dies," he repeated. "She's sixty-five.""Prison aged her. Whether that's medical fact or rhetorical strategy, I genuinely can't say."He looked at Grace. Four weeks old, asleep in her bassinet, her tiny fist curling against the fleece blanket. Technically, she had no grandmother. She h
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 243: Her Last Move
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)"Officers on your street now. Do not open the door."The doorbell rang again.Lewis watched the entry camera feed on his phone. Patricia Lorne stood on the front step with both hands at her sides, perfectly still, looking directly into the camera lens like she knew it was there.She did know. She'd been in this house before."Lewis." Donna's voice came through the landline, fast and tight. "The person from the alley — he's at your garden gate. Male, heavy jacket, hood up. He's not police. He's waiting.""For what?""I don't know. He looked at his phone, then at the back of your house."Lewis covered the landline and said to Yessica, "Back door. Now."She moved without argument, crossing to the back door and turning the deadbolt. Lewis locked the kitchen window and then texted Logan: Back gate. Male. Hood up. Yours.Logan replied in eight seconds: Already on him.Through the front camera, Patricia Lorne pressed the bell a third time. Still patient.
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 242: The Call
[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)The landline rang once.Lewis looked at it from across the kitchen. Neither of them moved for that one second — just long enough to register that this was not an accident, not a misdial, and not something they could ignore.He picked it up on the second ring.Yessica watched his face."Who is this?" he said.A pause. Then his expression did something she could read clearly — not fear, not anger. The specific neutrality he deployed when something required him to stay completely controlled.He put it on speaker.A woman's voice, careful and unhurried. "Mr. Sterling. I'm not going to give you my name. But I need you to know that what's happening tonight isn't what Victoria told Patricia Lorne it was.""Then what is it?" Lewis said."Victoria told Patricia the plan was to retrieve something from your property. Documents she believes prove her wrongful committal. She said no one would be harmed." A pause. "That's not the actual plan.""Who authorized

[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)DCI Hargrove said eleven minutes.Lewis was already moving."James," he called down the hallway. "All three children upstairs. Now."James appeared from the sitting room doorway without question. He assessed Lewis's face in one second, turned back, and said something quiet.Footsteps followed — Rose protesting being lifted mid-sentence, Ethan asking what was wrong, Claire already silent in the specific way she went silent when she knew something was real."Kitchen," Yessica said to Moira. She pointed to the back of the house, away from the front door and the street-facing windows. Moira moved. No argument. She'd seen enough of their life to know when to stop asking.Lewis kept DCI Hargrove on the line."What do you know about tonight's plan specifically?" he asked."The call Catherine made to the monitored number lasted four minutes and twelve seconds. Our analyst's interpretation, based on prior intercepted communications, is that she gave Patrici
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 159: Tuesday Night
POV: Lewis | EdinburghHe kept his voice even."Tell me exactly what he said," he said to Regina."He said the house was too loud and the lady screamed and he does not want to go back." Regina's voice was controlled. Not triumphant — that was what he noted first. Just controlled. "I am not calling

POV: Lewis | EdinburghLewis came through the front door at quarter past nine with a box of Claire's forgotten art supplies tucked under one arm.Yessica was standing in the middle of the hallway, not moving.In her hand was a cream-colored envelope with a legal firm's return address."What is that
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 120 — Eleven Minutes
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghThe room was smaller than she'd expected.Cream walls. A table. Two chairs facing the registrar's desk. A window with a view of the car park and, above the rooftops, the tip of Edinburgh Castle in the late morning light.No flowers. No music. No guests.Just Lewis
