His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 96 — The Sterling Name
POV: Lewis | Location: LondonHarrison was already in the members' lounge when Lewis arrived.Seven-thirty AM. The kind of hour his father preferred for difficult conversations — early enough that it felt businesslike, early enough that emotion could be bracketed under efficiency.Lewis had taken the first train south from Edinburgh. He hadn't told Yessica he was coming. He'd told her he needed a day.He sat down across from his father.Harrison Sterling at seventy-one looked exactly like a man who had spent five decades being right about everything. Silver-haired, precisely dressed, the unhurried posture of someone who did not expect to be surprised."Lewis." He nodded at the seat. "Coffee?""No."The waiter appeared anyway. Harrison ordered for himself, waited until they were alone, then looked at his son with the particular expression Lewis had grown up trying to decode — not cold, exactly. Measured."You know why I'm here," Lewis said."I imagine I do.""Crestfield Capital. The Je
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 95 — The Return
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghThe girls were back from her father's by ten.Rose went down easily. Claire pushed back for forty minutes with the focused determination of a five-year-old who sensed something was off and decided to make it structural. Yessica sat on the edge of her bed in the dark, finally, at half past nine, and read Lewis's last message again.On the A1. Four hours away. I need to talk to you before I do anything else.She typed back: Come straight here.Then she set the phone down and went to sit at the kitchen table with her laptop, because the thing about Pippa finding the connection between Harrison and Crestfield Capital was that Pippa had only found the surface of it.Yessica had spent the morning finding the rest.It hadn't taken long. Harrison Sterling's name didn't appear in any public filing — he was too careful for that. But the name of his private family office did. One minority position in Crestfield's feeder fund, held through a Jersey vehicle, regi
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 94 — The London Room
POV: Lewis | Location: LondonMarcus was already standing when Lewis walked into the Sterling Industries boardroom at half past midnight."Six board members want your head," Marcus said. "Harrison included."Lewis set his jacket over the chair. "Walk me through it."The subsidiary attack had been precise — an outside investor had quietly built a 19% stake in Sterling Capital Partners over three months without triggering the disclosure threshold. Now they were calling for an emergency board meeting and demanding Lewis recuse himself from the vote."On what grounds?" Lewis asked."Conflict of interest. They're saying your Edinburgh relocation represents a loss of strategic focus. That you've been distracted." Marcus's jaw was tight. "Harrison's been feeding them the narrative for weeks, Lewis. This didn't happen overnight."Lewis looked at him. "My father.""He didn't start the acquisition. But he's been letting it run."The city spread below them, London at 1 AM, all glass and cold lig
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 93: Summer Heat
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghLewis arrived at seven. The tulips were pale yellow — the specific kind of pale yellow that meant someone stood in the shop and thought about it.Yessica put them in a glass on the counter and didn't say anything about the fact that she noticed.The girls were at her father's. She'd accepted Theron's offer two days ago, and she hadn't asked herself too carefully why.They ate Thai from the containers, sitting across from each other at the kitchen table. Work. Rose taking three steps before sitting down with a look of pure self-satisfaction. Claire's horses — she was drawing them on everything now, napkins, receipts, the back of a library letter. Marcus's Christmas present disaster, which Lewis told badly and still managed to make her laugh.Normal. Comfortable. Theirs.But underneath it, a different conversation waited.They both knew. Neither reached for it first.Lewis cleared the containers. Yessica refilled the water glasses. They sat back down,
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 92 — Saturday Morning
POV: Lewis | Location: Edinburgh"Which street," she'd asked last night.He'd told her. She hadn't replied after that.Lewis stood in the Marchmont flat at eight forty-three on Saturday morning, coffee from the corner shop going cold in his hand, and looked at the space that was, as of Thursday, legally his.Third floor. High ceilings. Two bedrooms and a box room that could become a third. The Edinburgh light came through the front windows in a way that made the bare walls look almost finished.Six minutes from Yessica's door. He'd walked it twice.His phone was in his pocket. She still hadn't replied.He'd told her last night — no contingencies, she'd said, so he'd told her — and then silence. Which meant she was processing it the way she processed everything: completely, methodically, alone, before she said a word.He made himself stop checking the phone.She arrived at nine-fifteen.He heard her on the stairs and opened the door before she knocked.She stood in the doorway with Ros
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 91 — Friday, Seven PM
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghHe knocked at six fifty-nine."You're a minute early," she said, opening the door."I'm working on it," Lewis said.She stepped aside. He came in with nothing — no wine, no flowers, no offering. Just himself, coat still carrying the cold of the Edinburgh evening.She'd noticed that. She'd asked for it and he'd done it."Girls?" he said."Rose is down. Claire's supposed to be drawing but she's been watching the door for twenty minutes."From the hallway: "I WASN'T WATCHING.""She was watching," Yessica said.Lewis walked down the hall. She heard Claire's voice shift into the rapid-fire register she only used with him — something about horses, the drawing, a specific shade of brown she needed and didn't have. Lewis's responses were short and real, no performance in them.Yessica put the kettle on.She looked at the kitchen. At the painting on the fridge — four figures, a house. It had been there four days and she hadn't moved it.She knew what she was
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 32 — MOTHER'S WISDOM
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghShe found her father's number before she'd consciously decided to dial it.Theron Lockwood. Edinburgh mobile. The number she'd given him when she first arrived — the number she'd updated him with because she'd wanted one person in her family to know she was safe.
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 30 — THE OTHER WOMAN
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghThe afternoon went slow.That was the problem with knowing. You kept waiting for the door to open.Yessica had shelved the same section of literary fiction twice. Agnes had watched her do it without comment, which was its own kind of comment.Three customers came
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns CHAPTER 25 — FRACTURED TRUST
POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghThe flat was very quiet.Edinburgh in the pre-dawn held its breath. The bakery below hadn't started yet. No smell of bread. No street noise. Just Yessica, her phone, and Catherine Sterling's voice on the other end."I see you're not going to say hello," Catherine
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
