Chapter 48

Ashton’s gray eyes went completely dark with anger as he stared at the woman standing in his doorway. He immediately stepped in front of Riley, using his tall frame to shield her completely from the woman's mean glare.

"What are you doing here, Hailey?" Ashton asked, his voice freezing cold.

Hailey just smiled, a slow, nasty expression that did not reach her eyes at all. She walked further into the office, her high heels clicking loudly.

She acted like she owned the place, casually

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   THEY NEVER COME NEAR YOU OR IRIS AGAIN

    Chapter 61The quiet click of the latch echoed through the room as Ashton stepped back inside. Aniya was sitting in the armchair beside the bed, speaking in a soft whisper as she helped Riley fold a few fresh clothes she'd bought on her way, and pack away the other things. On the bed, Iris was sleeping deeply. Her chest rose and fell in a steady, easy rhythm, and the thin oxygen cannula under her nose gave off a soft, quiet whistle with every breath.Riley looked up the moment Ashton walked in. Seeing him, a tired, genuine smile broke across her pale face. The dark shadows under her eyes were heavy, but the panic that had consumed her for the past twelve hours was gone."Everything okay out there?" she asked softly, standing up from her chair.Ashton pushed down the cold anger still lingering in his chest, forcing his shoulders to relax and his face to stay calm. "Yeah. Just Julian giving me an update on security. The whole floor is locked down." Riley let out a long breath, her h

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   DOESN'T COME ANYWHERE NEAR THIS FLOOR

    Chapter 60The word was barely more than a scratchy breath against the inside of the plastic mask, but to Riley, it sounded like thunder.For two agonizing seconds, the room stood entirely still. Riley’s heart slammed against her ribs so hard it felt like a blow. She scrambled closer to the edge of the bed, her hands clutching Iris’s warm fingers like a lifeline."Iris?" Riley choked out, fresh tears instantly blurring her vision. "Baby? Oh my God... Iris!"Iris blinked slowly, her long eyelashes heavy as she adjusted to the soft morning light filtering through the blinds. Her gaze drifted across the white ceiling, looking disoriented and heavy with sleep, before slowly focusing on her mother’s tear-stained face.A tiny, weak crease formed between the little girl’s brows. Beneath the mask, her lips parted again. "Mommy... why are you crying?" Riley let out a wet, breathless laugh, pressing a fierce, desperate kiss against the back of Iris’s small hand. "I’m not sad, baby. I’m just.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   LEANED FAINTLY INTO HIS PALM

    Chapter 59Ashton didn't answer right away. He closed the short distance between them, his hands reaching out to grip her shoulders gently. His palms were warm, but his face was drawn pale, his jaw locked in a hard, tight line."Ashton..." Riley’s voice cracked, her fingers digging into his forearms. "Please. What is it?""The flush they administered hours ago should have completely cleared her system by now," Ashton said softly, his voice gravelly with a restraint he was clearly struggling to maintain. "The attending doctor said we have a thirty-minute window left for her reflexes to kick in naturally." Riley felt the floor sway under her feet. "Thirty minutes? What does that mean? What happens after thirty minutes?""If she doesn't start responding or stirring in the next half hour, it means the compound isn't just sitting in her bloodstream...it's affecting her central nervous system," Ashton met her eyes, holding nothing back. "We need to see some movement before that clock ru

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   WHAT DID HE SAY? WHY DID HE LEAVE?"

    Chapter 58Frederick’s smile didn't fade. He adjusted his stance, leaning slightly on his cane, completely unfazed by her outburst."Get out of here, Frederick," Riley spat, her voice shaking with raw disgust as she took a firm step forward to block the entrance. "You are not needed here. Leave!""I'm not going anywhere, Riley. Not until I see my daughter and get a clear answer about what happened to her.""Your daughter?" Riley let out a short, hollow laugh, her fists clenching at her sides. "She wasn't your daughter three weeks ago when I begged you for help with her surgery and you told me to let her die. She wasn't your daughter last week when you went on television and swore I cheated in you and gave you a child that isn't yours. Get out of here, Frederick." Frederick lowered his head slightly, his eyes cold and dark. "What I say to reporters is business, Riley. What matters right now is that my ten-year-old daughter is lying in an ICU because of you. You're reckless and inco

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   OHH MY GOD, YOU DID THIS TO HER

    Chapter 57Riley pulled her chair closer to the edge of the mattress, resting her chin on her arms near Iris’s elbow. Her eyes burned, dry and heavy with exhaustion, but she refused to let her eyelids close. Not even for a second.If someone could send a laced bottle to her front door using Ashton’s name, they could walk into this room. In the middle of the night, with the floor quiet and the hallway empty, anyone in a lab coat could step behind that curtain. She stayed wide awake, watching the slow rise and fall of the blanket over Iris’s chest, her pulse jumping at every soft squeak of rubber soles in the corridor.Around four in the morning, two light, hesitating knocks rattled against the ICU glass.Riley snapped her head up, her body going instantly rigid. She stood up, smoothing her palms against her jeans, and moved toward the door. She grasped the heavy handle, pulling it open just a few inches to keep her body blocking the frame.When her eyes met the woman standing in th

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   I'LL BE BACK AS FAST AS I CAN.

    Chapter 56Ashton pulled her off the floor, his hand firm on her waist until her legs stopped shaking. He retrieved her phone, slipped it into his coat pocket, and guided her straight down the corridor toward the intensive care unit.The heavy doors opened into a quiet room lit only by the soft, blue glow of medical screens. The air inside was cold, carrying the sharp scent of antiseptic.On the bed in the center of the room, Iris looked impossibly small under the thin hospital sheet, but her frame stretched out across the mattress in a way that made Riley's heart break all over again. Her cheeks were drained of color, her skin an unnatural, pale gray under the lights. A soft plastic oxygen mask covered half her face, misting with every shallow breath. Thin wires stretched from her gown, tracing back to the monitors above her head.Riley’s steps slowed. The sight hit her like a blow, knocking the remaining air right out of her lungs. Her chest tightened so hard she couldn't catch

    Chapter 5Riley didn't hesitate. The woman who had fiercely slapped him the night before disappeared under the crushing weight of a mother’s desperation. Slowly, agonizingly, she lowered her battered, aching body onto the gravel driveway, her knees digging into the sharp stones right beside his dr

It was completely different from the freezing, rainy night Riley had just escaped.The nurses had rushed Iris through a set of double doors into a separate treatment room t

    Chapter 3The moment they stepped out the front door, a sudden, loud crack of thunder shook the whole sky.The clouds burst, and a massive downpour slammed into the ground. The rain fell in heavy, blinding sheets, completely soaking the perfect, neat driveway.Iris gasped, shivering from the biting

    Chapter 1“Mom, are you really sure he’s going to show up?” Iris’s voice had a hollow, heavy ache that no ten-year-old should ever have to carry. As Riley ran the brush through her daughter's dark curls, the strands slipped from her fingers. Today was Iris's golden birthday, a day that should ha
