His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 230: What the Numbers Say
[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)She heard him on the stairs at two in the morning.Not an unusual sound in this house — Lewis moved quietly but he moved, when something was turning in his head and lying still wasn't working. She'd learned the difference between the kitchen light and the living room light from the way it reached under the bedroom door.This was the living room.She got up.He was sitting with his phone face-down on the cushion beside him, not reading, not working. Just awake."Tell me," she said.He told her.She sat beside him and listened to Dr. Chen's message relayed in Lewis's careful, factual version, and when he finished she was quiet for long enough that he looked at her."You're not going to ask me how I feel," she said."Not yet.""Good." She looked at the dark window. "Because I don't know yet. I need to be in that office tomorrow before I know anything."He nodded.They went back to bed. Neither of them slept particularly well. Neither of them mention
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 229: False Alarm
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)Hayes arrived in ninety seconds.Lewis stayed in the car and watched the app feed. The upstairs hallway camera showed nothing moving. No figure, no shadow, no further alerts from any other sensor.Hayes came out of the house two minutes after going in.He crossed to the car and Lewis lowered the window."Clear," Hayes said. "Every room. Ground floor, upper floor, garden. Nothing.""Then what triggered the hallway sensor?""Rose." Hayes's expression was completely neutral. "She threw a shoe at the motion detector. It's now on the floor. She appears to have done this deliberately and found it entertaining."Lewis looked at the app. The hallway sensor was still reading active because the shoe was sitting directly under it."She's two," Lewis said."She's a very effective two," Hayes said.Lewis got out of the car. "Thank you for coming.""That's what I'm here for." Hayes looked at him. "Lewis. You've had three weeks of genuine threat, multiple securit
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 228: Monday
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)The name was Harrison Sterling.Lewis sat with that for the length of the drive home and didn't say it to Yessica until the children were in bed.She heard it and was quiet for a moment."The board wants your father as executive chair," she said."Three board members proposed it. Gerald hasn't formally endorsed it yet." Lewis looked at the kitchen table. "He'd have oversight of governance and shareholder relations. I'd retain full operational authority as CEO." A pause. "It's not designed to limit me. It's designed to stabilize the optics — a Sterling name at chair level signals continuity and accountability after the fraud investigation.""Have you spoken to Harrison?""No. I found out forty minutes ago.""Then you should." She looked at him. "Tonight."Harrison answered on the second ring. He'd been expecting the call — Lewis could tell from the way he picked up, not the usual three-second lag of a man reaching for a phone in a different room."Y
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 227: His Right
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)Yessica handed him the phone without comment.He heard the end of it — Regina's voice, controlled but strained, saying David had a consultation booked for Friday. He handed the phone back and pulled out of the car park."She wants to talk to Eleanor," Yessica said."Eleanor handles family law, not just ours." He drove. "She should call her today.""I know." Yessica was quiet for a moment. "He has the right, Lewis.""I know that too.""Regardless of the welfare statement, regardless of what we know about his connection to Sienna's network — he is that baby's biological father and a court will recognize that.""Yes.""So the question isn't whether he has standing. The question is what kind of co-parenting arrangement protects Regina and the baby while giving him appropriate access."Lewis kept his eyes on the road. He understood the logic. That didn't mean the first five seconds of hearing it felt simple."I want to talk to him," Lewis said.Yessica
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 226: Twelve Weeks
[POV: Yessica] (Location: Edinburgh)Dr. Sarah Chen's office was on the third floor of a building on Lothian Road, quiet enough that you could hear the traffic below and calm enough that it didn't matter.Yessica had been here before. Twice, for Rose. Once for a check that had turned into a referral for postpartum support. She knew the specific quality of the silence in the waiting room and the specific way the chairs were arranged so that people waiting alone didn't have to sit beside strangers.Lewis had come with her. He was beside her now, reading nothing on his phone with the concentrated focus of a man who needed something to do with his hands."You've been to twelve-week appointments before," she said."Yes.""And you're still doing that thing with your phone."He looked up. "What thing.""The thing where you scroll without reading and refresh without checking." She looked at him. "It's fine. You're allowed to be nervous.""I'm not nervous.""Lewis."He put the phone in his p
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 225: The Last Architect
[POV: Lewis] (Location: Edinburgh)Eleanor said the name clearly, the way she always delivered difficult information — no cushioning, no preamble."Margaret Holt."Lewis stood at the kitchen counter and ran the name through everything he knew.Margaret Holt. Edinburgh charity circuit. Patron of the arts. Fifties, well-connected, the kind of woman who appeared in the Edinburgh Evening News twice a year beside someone receiving an award she'd funded. He'd shaken her hand at a cancer research gala two years ago. She'd been standing beside Catherine, which he'd noted and then immediately filed away as irrelevant because everyone on that circuit had stood beside Catherine at some point."How long?" he said."Cairns believes she's been coordinating Catherine's external affairs since before the fraud investigation." Eleanor paused. "Not running it. Coordinating. Moving instructions between Catherine and the active network members, providing resources, ensuring continuity. She's the reason

POV: Lewis | Location: Edinburgh"You've been talking to my board," Harrison said."Our board," Lewis said. "I'm still CEO."A pause. The specific pause of a man recalibrating. "For now," Harrison said."Yes," Lewis said. "For now. Which is why I'm talking to them." He moved to the window. The Edin
