His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 254: Regina Told Ethan the Truth
Lewis got the text from Regina at 7:48 in the morning.He needs you. He's asking for your house.He didn't call to ask what happened. He just texted back: Send him over. I'll be here.***Ethan arrived twenty minutes later. Regina drove him herself, and whatever had been said between them in the car had clearly been enough — because Ethan walked through the front door, dropped his bag, and sat on the kitchen floor against the cabinet with his knees pulled up to his chest.Not his usual spot. Not anywhere near it.Lewis crouched down. "Hey. You want to talk or just sit?""Sit first.""Okay."Lewis sat on the kitchen floor too. They stayed like that for a while, the breakfast sounds of the house moving around them — Claire upstairs getting ready for school, Rose arguing with her cereal bowl somewhere, Grace's radio playing down the hall.After about five minutes, Ethan said: "She told me.""Yeah," Lewis said. "I know."***Ethan told him what he'd heard. The money. Sienna. The evening t
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 253: The Last Summer Before Everything Changed
The children were already running for the beach before anyone had pulled a single bag from the car.Lewis and David stood at the open boot with armloads of beach tents, sunscreen, and portable cribs, watching their four combined children disappear down the path toward the water."Every year," David said."Every year," Lewis agreed.Grace was strapped to Yessica's chest in the carrier, head turning slowly, cataloguing this new smell — salt air, something she had no category for yet. Ollie was on David's hip, pointing at things and naming them with absolute authority.***The first evening settled around them easily. Barbecue on the deck. Children's voices carrying up from the sand below, mixing with the sound of the waves. The babies in portable cribs, the sea air doing something remarkable to infant sleep schedules. Adults with wine and finally, genuinely lowered shoulders.Lewis sat on the deck railing with his glass and looked at the group of people in front of him.Four years ago,

The dinosaur theme had been executed with full commitment.Green and yellow decorations, a banner in teeth-and-claws font, and a birthday cake shaped into a T-Rex mid-roar — the kind that required seven tutorial videos and strong feelings about fondant. Lewis stood in the doorway with Grace in the carrier against his chest and took it all in.Ethan was at the car before Lewis had finished parking."Daddy! You came!"He knew Lewis was coming. He'd been told. He'd called that morning to confirm. The knowledge did not reduce his enthusiasm by a single degree.Grace, seven months old and strapped to Lewis's chest, watched Ethan bounce around with the steady, evaluating attention that was becoming her signature. New category: very loud person. Filed.***Regina moved through a full house with genuine ease. David had taken charge of the children's activity schedule and was currently refereeing a balloon game with rules nobody had fully agreed on. Baby Ollie, eleven months old and newly mobi
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 251: Catherine Is Gone
The call came at four-thirty in the morning.Yessica heard Lewis on the phone from the bedroom, heard the specific quality of his silence afterward, and got up without being asked.She found him in the kitchen in the dark. She sat beside him without saying anything."She's gone," he said."I know," she said. Because she'd understood from the silence.***The funeral arrangements fell to Lewis by default. Catherine had spent decades alienating everyone who might have helped carry that weight, so it was Lewis who chose the casket, the flowers, the chapel, the times. He did it methodically and without visible emotion, which Yessica had learned to recognize as how he handled things that were too large to feel all at once.She helped him. She sat across the funeral director and gave opinions when asked and kept her own feelings about Catherine Sterling carefully managed, because today was not about those feelings. Today was about her husband.The service was small. Thirty people, perhaps f

The holiday planning had started as a spreadsheet.Two households, eight people, two infants, five children across a thirteen-year age range. Dietary requirements, nap schedules, Ollie's current developmental phase where he considered everything within reach a personal snack."Seven-bedroom house," Regina said over the phone. Lewis could hear Ollie investigating something in the background. "Outside Edinburgh. Sea views, enclosed garden. Big enough that we won't be on top of each other.""Send it."She sent it. It was perfect and expensive, and Lewis booked it before Yessica could see the full price.The group chat had evolved from functional to genuinely entertaining. David replied to everything with extremely specific logistical follow-ups. Regina added three items to the packing list for every one removed. Yessica had started labelling categories: Essential, Probably Essential, Arguably Essential, and Lewis Is Going To Think This Is Not Essential But He's Wrong.Ethan, during his w
His Billion-Dollar Regret: The Forgotten Wife Returns Chapter 249: Grace Is Finally Thriving
Dr. Pemberton read the chart, then looked up with the expression of a doctor who had been waiting a long time to deliver good news."She's caught up. Properly on the growth curve now. She's not 'failure to thrive' anymore — she's just going to be petite." He smiled. "You did it."Yessica cried.Not the helpless kind. Not the kind from those early weeks when every hour felt like falling. This was the crying of someone who had carried something heavy for a very long time and had finally been told she could set it down.Grace, for her part, was wholly unconcerned. She stared at the examination room light with the fixed concentration she brought to all sources of illumination, as if she were cataloguing them.All developmental milestones met. Social smiles. Tracking. Head control. And sleep — five, sometimes six consecutive hours — which had turned their household from a survival exercise back into something resembling a real life.***Dr. Sarah Chen had the afternoon slot."Mood assessme

POV: Yessica | Location: EdinburghDr. Gillies's practice was a twenty-minute walk from the Grassmarket.They didn't talk much on the way. Not because the silence was uncomfortable — it wasn't. It had the quality of two people moving toward the same thing with their own separate versions of dread,
