POV: Lewis | Edinburgh

Harrison was in the sitting room when Lewis arrived, a blanket across his lap that he had clearly not chosen for himself. He looked better than the hospital version — more color, more irritation at being stationary.

"You got her message," Harrison said.

"Last night." Lewis sat across from him. "Ask Harrison why. That was all she sent."

"Yes." Harrison looked toward the window. "She told me she was going to send it."

"So she asked your advice about the judgment."

"She did.

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 257: Ethan Read Regina's Letter Five Times

    The letter arrived as a message first.Ethan — I found something when I was clearing out old boxes. A letter I wrote you the night I found out I was pregnant. I never sent it. I don't know if you want to read it. You don't have to. But it's yours if you do.He'd stared at it in the car on the way home with Mama Yessica and said nothing.That night he typed back: Send it.***It came through at 9:47 PM as an email attachment. Five pages, handwritten, scanned.Mum's handwriting, smaller and more careful than it was now. Eleven years old, the date at the top.He opened it. Read the first line.Then he closed it and put the phone face-down on his duvet.He wasn't ready. Not yet.***He was ready the next morning.He sat on the floor with his back against his bed, the phone in his lap, and read every word.She wrote about the night. About Sienna and the money. About finding out she was pregnant six weeks later and not sleeping for three days straight because she didn't know what to do.She

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 256: Regina Told Ethan the Truth About the Money

    Mum sat across from him. Dad-David was on his left.In the corner, Ollie stacked blocks without a care in the world.Ethan wished he was Ollie right now."Ethan, honey," Mum said. "Daddy Lewis told me you have questions about how you were born. I'm going to tell you the truth. It's a complicated story, but you're old enough to hear it."His heart was going too fast. "Okay."She took a breath. Then she said it."Eleven years ago, I met your daddy at a work event. We talked one night. That night, you were conceived. But I didn't tell him I was pregnant. I made the choice to keep you secret from him for three years."Ethan waited. "Why?"Mum's hands twisted together in her lap. "Because of a woman named Sienna. She paid me money to spend an evening with your daddy."The room tilted."Someone paid you," Ethan said. "To be with Daddy.""Yes."Mum didn't look away. "I took the money. I was young, I needed it, and I told myself it wasn't a big deal. But then I found out I was pregnant. With

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 255: Ethan Had One Question About the Board Meeting

    Lewis called Marcus back at 11:22 PM, standing in the kitchen with the lights low and the house quiet above him."Tell me what you found," he said.Marcus didn't waste time. "There's a board member — James Morton — who's been researching Ethan's conception circumstances. Specifically the Sienna connection. He's planning to raise it at Monday's meeting."Lewis said nothing."His position," Marcus continued, "is that Lewis Sterling's illegitimate son represents a reputational liability for the company. He's going to propose a public distancing clause. Something that formally states Ethan has no succession rights and no association with Sterling Industries.""He's ten years old.""I know.""He's my son.""I know that too." Marcus paused. "Lewis, Morton has three other board members aligned. This isn't going to be a quiet objection. He's coming in with documentation — the Sienna trial records, the original paternity filing, newspaper coverage. He wants to force a vote."Lewis put his hand

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 254: Regina Told Ethan the Truth

    Lewis got the text from Regina at 7:48 in the morning.He needs you. He's asking for your house.He didn't call to ask what happened. He just texted back: Send him over. I'll be here.***Ethan arrived twenty minutes later. Regina drove him herself, and whatever had been said between them in the car had clearly been enough — because Ethan walked through the front door, dropped his bag, and sat on the kitchen floor against the cabinet with his knees pulled up to his chest.Not his usual spot. Not anywhere near it.Lewis crouched down. "Hey. You want to talk or just sit?""Sit first.""Okay."Lewis sat on the kitchen floor too. They stayed like that for a while, the breakfast sounds of the house moving around them — Claire upstairs getting ready for school, Rose arguing with her cereal bowl somewhere, Grace's radio playing down the hall.After about five minutes, Ethan said: "She told me.""Yeah," Lewis said. "I know."***Ethan told him what he'd heard. The money. Sienna. The evening t

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 253: The Last Summer Before Everything Changed

    The children were already running for the beach before anyone had pulled a single bag from the car.Lewis and David stood at the open boot with armloads of beach tents, sunscreen, and portable cribs, watching their four combined children disappear down the path toward the water."Every year," David said."Every year," Lewis agreed.Grace was strapped to Yessica's chest in the carrier, head turning slowly, cataloguing this new smell — salt air, something she had no category for yet. Ollie was on David's hip, pointing at things and naming them with absolute authority.***The first evening settled around them easily. Barbecue on the deck. Children's voices carrying up from the sand below, mixing with the sound of the waves. The babies in portable cribs, the sea air doing something remarkable to infant sleep schedules. Adults with wine and finally, genuinely lowered shoulders.Lewis sat on the deck railing with his glass and looked at the group of people in front of him.Four years ago,

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 252: One Big Family

    The dinosaur theme had been executed with full commitment.Green and yellow decorations, a banner in teeth-and-claws font, and a birthday cake shaped into a T-Rex mid-roar — the kind that required seven tutorial videos and strong feelings about fondant. Lewis stood in the doorway with Grace in the carrier against his chest and took it all in.Ethan was at the car before Lewis had finished parking."Daddy! You came!"He knew Lewis was coming. He'd been told. He'd called that morning to confirm. The knowledge did not reduce his enthusiasm by a single degree.Grace, seven months old and strapped to Lewis's chest, watched Ethan bounce around with the steady, evaluating attention that was becoming her signature. New category: very loud person. Filed.***Regina moved through a full house with genuine ease. David had taken charge of the children's activity schedule and was currently refereeing a balloon game with rules nobody had fully agreed on. Baby Ollie, eleven months old and newly mobi

    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

    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

"Before proceedings. Which means he's moving before either of us has responded to the first message." She loo

    POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghShe answered on the second ring.Not because she was ready. Because standing in the Edinburgh kitchen watching a phone ring while Pippa stared at her from across the counter was not a sustainable position."What did you send him?" Pippa said, in a whisper, exactly
