His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 237: The Name on the List
[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)Lewis came back into the bedroom with his phone still in his hand and told her what Logan had found.Yessica listened without interrupting. When he finished, she sat with it for a moment."She knew I'd say yes," she said."Yes.""Before Dr. Petrie ever called me. Victoria had already arranged for someone to be at that facility on Wednesday morning." She looked at Lewis. "Which means the meeting request wasn't spontaneous. It was staged.""That's what Logan is saying.""Did he find out who the visitor is?""The name on the approved list is Margaret Dunbar. No prior connection to Victoria that Logan can identify. No social media presence. The phone number attached to the visitor registration is a prepaid mobile." He sat on the edge of the bed. "Eleanor needs to know tonight."Yessica picked up her own phone and dialled.Eleanor answered on the third ring, unhurried, which meant she'd been awake."Tell me," Eleanor said.Yessica walked her through i
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 236: What Victoria Wants
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)Yessica was still on the phone when Lewis came back into the kitchen.He read her face before she said a word — the stillness she got when something required her to process before she reacted, the specific quality of composure she deployed when the thing in front of her was not yet categorized.She ended the call and looked at him."That was a Dr. Petrie," she said. "Psychiatrist at the Glasgow facility. Victoria Brennan has completed her assessment." A pause. "She's requesting a supervised meeting. With me. Without you."Lewis was quiet for three full seconds."No," he said."I haven't decided yet.""I'm telling you my position. I'm not making the decision for you." He pulled out a chair and sat down. "Tell me everything Dr. Petrie said."Yessica sat across from him. She laid it out methodically — the discharge planning process, the supervised meeting framework, the clinical rationale Dr. Petrie had offered. Victoria had requested Yessica specific

[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)Lewis was still on the phone with Sienna when Yessica opened Eleanor's message on her own phone.It had arrived four minutes ago. She'd missed it in the kitchen while putting Rose's plate in the sink.Catherine Sterling has filed a civil claim against Lewis Sterling and Sienna Hargrave jointly, alleging breach of fiduciary duty and financial mismanagement. The claim is meritless. Call me.Yessica read it twice. Put the phone face-down on the counter. Picked it up again.Lewis ended his call and looked at her. She held up the screen.He read it. Didn't react visibly. Set his own phone down beside hers."Eleanor already knows," she said."Yes.""What do you need to do right now?""Call her." A pause. "And not tell the children anything is different tonight.""That second one I can manage," Yessica said. "Go call Eleanor."She listened from the hallway while Lewis talked. Not because she was trying to overhear — she was checking on Ethan, who had go
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 234: What She Still Wants
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)Harrison read the letter aloud over the phone.It was three paragraphs. Formal language, solicitor's phrasing, but the substance was unmistakably Catherine's — precise, personal, designed to find the gap in whatever armor the recipient was wearing.She wasn't asking for his forgiveness. She was asking him to submit a character statement to the parole board. A voluntary, independent statement from her former husband attesting to her capacity for change and her low risk of reoffending.She'd framed it as something he owed her. Forty years of marriage. The life they'd built together. Whatever she'd done, she was still a person who deserved to be seen as more than the worst of her decisions.Lewis listened to all of it without interrupting."How did it make you feel?" he asked when Harrison finished.A pause. "Tired," Harrison said. "Forty years and she still knows exactly which words to use." Another pause. "That's not persuasion. It's erosion. She's
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 233: Grace
[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)"Your NIPT results show low risk across all chromosomal markers tested," the coordinator said. "Trisomy 21, 18, and 13 — all low risk. The elevated combined screening indicators do not appear to reflect chromosomal abnormality. This is consistent with normal pregnancy variation in early blood panel results."Yessica sat very still."The overall picture is reassuring," the coordinator continued. "Dr. Chen will discuss the full report with you at your next appointment, but I wanted to confirm the primary result clearly. There is nothing in this screening that requires further chromosomal investigation at this time."Lewis said, "Thank you."The coordinator asked if they had questions. They didn't. She ended the call.Neither of them moved for a moment.Then Yessica put both hands over her face. Not crying — she wasn't crying. Just needing somewhere to put the three weeks she'd spent holding this.Lewis didn't say anything. He put his arm around her
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 232: She Knows
[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)Lewis read Sienna's messages twice and called Eleanor.Yessica listened from across the kitchen while Ethan finished his homework, hearing half a conversation — Lewis's voice dropping lower, Eleanor's responses audible as tone rather than words.When he hung up, she looked at him.He shook his head slightly. Not now. Later.She understood. She gave Ethan her full attention for another twenty minutes until his worksheet was done and Rose came in from the garden with leaves stuck to both knees, declaring she was hungry with the urgent certainty of someone who'd been hungry for several minutes and considered this a personal injustice.Both children were in bed by eight.Lewis was at the kitchen table when she came downstairs. His notes from the day — the board briefings, Marcus's operational summary, Eleanor's texts — were in a loose stack beside his phone."Tell me," she said."Catherine's solicitor notified the Crown's office at four this afternoo
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 73 — Removal
POV: Yessica | Location: Edinburgh"Full removal," she said."Yes," Marcus said. "The motion is drafted under Section 168 of the Companies Act. Ordinary resolution. Simple majority. Harrison only needs half the board plus one.""How many does he have.""Confirmed? Graves and Whitmore. Suspected? On
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 71 — Catherine
POV: Yessica | Location: Edinburgh"Yessica." Catherine Sterling's voice — London, precise, no preamble. "I saw the Chronicle piece. It was well-handled."She hadn't expected that. "Thank you.""I want to be clear about something," Catherine said. "I gave Harrison the information he used. I mention

POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghShe called Lewis at seven forty-three.He picked up before the second ring. "I just saw it," he said."He wants to meet the children this week," she said. "Before proceedings. Which means he's moving before either of us has responded to the first message." She loo
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 66 — Seven O'Clock
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghHe knocked at exactly seven.Yessica opened the door and said nothing. Lewis looked like a man who had spent the afternoon holding a number he wasn't ready to say out loud. She stepped aside. He came in.She had not tidied beyond the ordinary. The flat looked like
