POV: Yessica | Location: Edinburgh

Lewis called back in four minutes.

"Marcus didn't put Marsh in the brief," he said. "The collaboration list came from Harrison's office. Marcus pulled it from the standard Sterling vendor register without checking the names individually."

She closed her eyes for one second.

"Harrison's vendor register," she said.

"Yes."

"Harrison built the brief that was supposed to correct what he did to Bellamy," she said. "And he put Daniel Marsh in it."

"Marcus didn't know

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 146: Tuesday Afternoon

    POV: Lewis | EdinburghYessica read the message over his shoulder.Neither of them spoke for a moment."Don't respond," she said.He was already calling Eleanor.Eleanor answered on the first ring. He read the text aloud. Four seconds of silence on her end."Do not respond," she said. "Not yet. Give me twenty minutes."She called back in twelve."Sienna reaching out directly means one of two things," Eleanor said. "Either the defamation suit has made her legal position uncomfortable enough that she wants to negotiate, or she is setting up a second trap and the text is the opening move.""How do I find out which one?" Lewis asked."You meet with her.""You just told me not to respond.""I said not yet. I needed to pull her background before you walked in blind." Papers moved on Eleanor's end. "Sienna Hargrave is not just a consultant. Her company, Hargrave Advisory, has a prior judgment against it. Interference in a probate case, 2021. Settled out of court. The settlement included a co

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 145: Tuesday Morning

    POV: Lewis | EdinburghEleanor had the recusal motion filed by eight-fifteen.Lewis was on the phone with her when Yessica came downstairs with coffee, and she sat across from him at the kitchen table and listened to his half of the conversation without pretending she wasn't."Walsh recuses today?" Lewis said."The motion is submitted. The court will acknowledge it within twenty-four hours. Walsh will be notified directly." Eleanor's voice was measured. "She will not be able to discuss your therapeutic file with anyone once she receives notice. That protection is immediate.""And my sessions?""Suspended pending the formal recusal confirmation. A week at most. After that you find someone new and document the transition." A pause. "I know the timing is terrible. It is meant to be terrible."Lewis looked at Yessica across the table."Eleanor," Yessica said, loud enough to carry. "How did Sienna know that Dr. Walsh was Lewis's therapist? It was not in any filing. It was not public.""Tha

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 144: Monday Evening

    POV: Lewis | EdinburghLewis was home by five-thirty, which was earlier than he had planned and earlier than Yessica had expected.He came through the door, set his bag down, and looked at her."Eleanor called me," he said."I know.""You met with Regina.""Yes."He did not raise his voice. He walked to the kitchen, poured a glass of water, and drank half of it. When he turned around his face was controlled in the way that meant he was working to keep it that way."Alone," he said. "Without telling me. Without Eleanor.""I knew you would say don't go.""I would have said don't go.""That is why I didn't tell you first." She kept her voice level. "I wanted to hear what she had to say directly. No lawyers moderating it. No one managing it. Just the two of us."Lewis set down the glass. "And?"She told him everything. The specific language. The warning about Ethan's attachment. The accusation of ambivalence. The instruction to stay distant. Her own response.He listened without interrupt

    POV: Yessica | EdinburghThe text came at nine-fourteen, while Lewis was already at the office and the girls were with the nanny.Unknown number. Two lines."I would like to meet. Without Lewis and without lawyers. I think we need to talk. — Regina."Yessica read it twice. Set her phone face-down on the desk. Picked it up and read it again.She called Pippa."Don't go," Pippa said, before Yessica had finished explaining."I'm going.""Of course you are." A pause. "Tell me where so someone knows where your body is."The cafe was near Stockbridge, neutral enough that it did not belong to either of them. Regina was already there when Yessica arrived, hands around a coffee cup, no lawyer, no phone visible. She looked up when Yessica sat down. Did not smile."Thank you for coming," Regina said."You knew I would.""Yes." Regina set down her cup. "You are not the type to avoid a hard conversation. That is actually one of the things I wanted to discuss."Yessica ordered coffee from the passi

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 142: Sunday Morning

    POV: Yessica | EdinburghYessica was on her second coffee when Ethan appeared in the kitchen doorway.Still in his pajamas. Rabbit under his arm. He looked at her, then at the chair where Lewis usually sat, then back at her."Where is Daddy?" he said.It was the first time he had said it. Daddy. Like it was a word he had been practicing in private and had just decided to use."Upstairs. Getting your sisters ready." She lifted her mug. "Do you want cereal?"He considered this seriously. "Can I have the one with the stars?""Yes."She got it down. He climbed onto his chair without being told and set the rabbit on the table facing outward, which appeared to be its standard positioning. Guardian mode.She poured the cereal. Added milk because he pointed at it. Sat back down with her coffee without crowding him.He ate four spoonfuls, then looked at the rabbit."His name is Button," he said."That is a good name.""I named him." A pause. "Mummy said I could.""She was right."He ate two mo

  • His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns   Chapter 141: Saturday

    POV: Yessica | EdinburghThe doorbell rang at nine-fifteen exactly.Yessica was in the kitchen. She heard it. She stayed where she was.Lewis answered. She heard Regina's voice first — clipped, informational, the tone of a woman conducting a handover not a conversation."His medication is in the front pocket. The EpiPen is labeled. He had porridge this morning but not much. He was nervous last night so he did not sleep well." A pause. "He has the rabbit. Do not let anyone else hold it.""Okay." Lewis's voice was careful. "Thank you for bringing him.""I am not doing it for you."Then the door closed.Then nothing for a moment.Then small feet on the hallway floor.Yessica turned from the counter. Ethan was standing in the kitchen doorway in a yellow jacket he had not taken off yet, the rabbit pressed flat against his chest, looking at the room with the specific alertness of a child cataloguing an unfamiliar place.Claire came up behind him from the hallway and crouched to his level.
