Chapter 42

The car was a black saloon with tinted windows and a driver who didn't attempt conversation, which Riley was grateful for because she had nothing left to say to anyone.

She sat in the back with her hands folded in her lap and her spine straight and watched the city move past the window, the evening light catching the glass faces of buildings as they drove deeper into the district where everything was taller and quieter and more expensive looking than anywhere else in the city.

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   UNCLE ASHTON'S CAR

    Chapter 63The hallway was dead silent after the door shut. Riley stopped walking, leaning her back against the wall. Her knees felt weak, and her chest was tight.Ashton stopped next to her. "You okay?"She took a breath, letting her head rest back against the glass. "I can't believe I just spoke to her like that. All those years I was terrified of that woman, and today she just looked... broken.""She deserved every word," Ashton said simply. "Come on. Let's get back to Iris."The ride back to the hospital didn't take long. Neither of them said much in the car, but Ashton stayed close.When they got back to the floor, Julian was standing near the desk."How’d it go?" Julian asked."It's done," Riley said. "Is Iris awake?""She woke up a few minutes ago," Julian said. "Aniya's in there with her."Riley pushed the door open and walked in. Iris was sitting up slightly, looking at Aniya’s phone. The moment she saw Riley, her face lit up."Mommy!" Iris said, her voice still a little rasp

  • THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex   WE'RE DONE HERE

    Chapter 62The hospital room was finally quiet, but the heavy air felt restless.Riley was sitting beside the bed, watching Iris’s chest rise and fall in a slow, steady rhythm. Her little hand was tucked under her chin, her small face completely peaceful in sleep. Standing near the window, Ashton had his phone pressed to his ear, his voice low as he spoke to his head of security.The door creaked open, and Aniya stepped back inside. Julian was right behind her, both of them carrying two paper cups of hot coffee each. He handed one to Aston, squeezing his shoulder gently, while Aniya offered hers to Riley."Sam just called the precinct," Julian said in his usual quiet, measured tone, glancing over at Ashton. "They’ve got both of them processed."Ashton took the cup with a quick nod. "Good."Before anyone else could speak, the screen of Riley’s phone lit up on the bedside table. It buzzed loudly against the wood, the vibration cutting through the quiet room.Riley reached out and pick

  • 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.

    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

    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

The rain fell in heavy, blinding sheets, completely soaking the perfect, neat driveway.Iris gasped, shivering from the biting

    Chapter 2The silence that followed his words wasn’t just quiet; it was deafening. It felt as though the air had been entirely sucked out of the room, leaving Riley gasping. Her mind spun violently as she tried to process the horrible words that had just left Fredrick’s mouth.Bastard child.“Say
