THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex HE'S TRYING TO TAKE HER
Chapter 85Principal photography wrapped on a Tuesday, and by Thursday, Riley found herself standing in her kitchen at seven in the morning holding a manila envelope that had been slid under her apartment door sometime in the night.There was no return address. Just her name, typed in flat block letters across the front.She set her coffee down and opened it slowly, half expecting a magazine clipping, a fan letter, something harmless. Instead, three pages of legal letterhead slid out into her hand.PETITION FOR MODIFICATION OF CUSTODY, the header read.Her stomach dropped straight through the floor. She read it twice, her eyes catching on Frederick's name typed neatly beside the words "Petitioner," and beneath it, a list of claims that made her hands go cold. Unstable work schedule. Exposure to unrelated adult partners. A minor residing in two households without consistent supervision.Her phone was in her hand before she'd finished the second page. Ashton picked up on the second ri
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex LEAD THE WAY
Chapter 84The pen felt heavy in Riley’s hand, but as her signature slid across the final page of the contract, a sense of closure settled over her. She scanned the document one last time...The Shadow’s Edge, Supporting Lead, principal photography set to begin in three weeks.Her agent, sitting across from her in the sunlit glass office, leaned back with a wide smile. "Congratulations, Riley. This contract elevates you into a completely different bracket. The studio is already locking in your wardrobe fittings.""Thank you, Greg," Riley said, handing the signed pages back across the desk. "For everything."Leaving the agency building, she walked out into the cool afternoon air, pulling her coat around her shoulders as she reached for her phone. She dialed Ashton’s number, tapping her foot against the pavement as it rang."Hey, sweetheart," Ashton’s voice came through, warm and unhurried despite the faint background noise of the hospital page system. "Tell me you just signed it.""I

Chapter 83The ride to her apartment was quiet. Iris didn't wake up once, sleeping soundly in the back seat the entire way. When they pulled up to the building, Ashton carried her himself, laying her down gently on her bed while Riley pulled the covers over her shoulders.Stepping out into the hallway, Ashton pulled Riley close, pressing a firm kiss to her forehead. "Tomorrow morning. Ten o'clock sharp. We start your first driving lesson.""I'll be ready," Riley whispered.Learning to drive turned out to be far more complicated than either of them anticipated.Between Ashton’s unpredictable surgeries at the hospital and Riley’s packed schedule with script reads, finding time was a nightmare. What should have been a quick week of practice dragged out into a full month.They had to snatch hours whenever they could. Some mornings, Ashton would pick her up at seven before his shift started, taking her to the empty top floor of the hospital parking garage to practice parking. Other nigh
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex LET'S LEAVE IT PARKED HERE FOR NOW
Chapter 82Riley stared at the frame of the SUV, her breath catching in her throat as the keys sat heavy and warm in her palm. The paint caught the soft light spilling out from the open front door, and that massive red ribbon across the hood looked almost ridiculous sitting in the middle of the driveway."Ashton, no..." She shook her head, her voice dropping to a breathless whisper as her eyes darted from the car back to his face. "This is too much. I can't take this.""You can, and you're going to," Ashton said. He stepped closer, wrapping his large hand over hers and forcing her fingers tight around the leather key fob. "You’ve spent the last few months taking taxis in the pouring rain or waiting around for me to finish a twelve-hour shift just to get across town. You’re a lead actress now, Riley. You need your own set of wheels, something safe that belongs entirely to you.""He made the dealer install those extra child locks on the back doors, too," Aniya called out from the porc
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex YOU... YOU BOUGHT ME A CAR?!
Chapter 81Frederick took a slow, heavy step forward.Riley didn't wait for him to speak. She turned on her heel and walked back toward the soundstage doors, her face set into a cool mask. She had nothing left to say to him."Riley...wait!" His voice was hoarse, stripped of the booming authority it used to carry. Before she could reach the heavy metal handle, his fingers snagged the sleeve of her coat.She yanked her arm back instantly, spinning around with a sharp look that made him recoil as if he’d been burned. "Don't touch me."His hands hovered in the air before dropping limply to his sides. He looked hollowed out...the sharp, arrogant lines of his face collapsed into deep, exhausted folds."I... I just wanted to see you," he said, his voice unsteady. "How are you doing?""I'm fine," Riley said evenly, her tone flat enough to leave a message."And Iris?" He swallowed hard, his bloodshot eyes searching her face. "How is she?""She's fine, Frederick." He shifted his weight, his g
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex IT WAS FREDERICK
Chapter 80Riley looked at Ashton, her heart swelling at the sincerity in his eyes, but she gave a small, gentle shake of her head."Ashton," she said softly, reaching down to squeeze his hands tightly instead of kissing him, hyper-aware of Iris sitting right beside them, watching through a mouthful of pancakes. "We can't just move in. I have my own place, and Iris needs a bit of consistency right now after everything she's been through."Ashton’s smile faltered for a fraction of a second, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face before settling into something warm and understanding. He returned the squeeze of her fingers, his thumb brushing over the back of her hand. "Riley, you know there's more than enough room here for both of you. You don't ever have to worry about anything again.""I know," she murmured, leaning into his side just enough so their shoulders touched. "And I love what you’ve built for us here...it means more than I can ever say. But we're not ready to com
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM? TAKE IT
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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S BIGGEST REGRET: Losing His Plus-size Ex YOU ALSO BROUGHT YOUR BASTARD CHILD
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

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
