All Chapters of Regrets From Ex Won't Win Me Back: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

"You have loads of nerve, don't you?" As Eliza's figure vanished beyond Zenith's glass doors.Isabella's mother muttered something under her breath. James Sr. responded, "Calm down," but there was little conviction in his voice. He stirred his coffee absently. "There is nothing to be gained by creating a scene here."“Calm down?” She snapped, throwing her napkin onto the table. “That ungrateful little—” She caught herself, looking at the surrounding tables where diners were beginning to take notice. She lowered her voice to a harsh whisper. “We brought her up! Took her into the fold like she was one of ours. And this is the thanks we get?”With an astonished look on his lips, James Jr, who had been drinking an expensive gin and tonic, sat back in his chair. "You didn't exactly act with good intentions when you did that, Mother, and I hate to tell you that. Let’s not rewrite history.”She shot him a warning look. “Don’t you dare speak to me like that?”James Sr. pinched the bridge of h

When Seth and Louis arrived, the Daily Grind was almost deserted save for a woman in the corner booth who appeared anxious. Mrs. Thompson gripped her coffee cup with shaky hands, her gaze flicking to the door every few seconds."Mrs. Thompson?" Seth approached carefully, keeping his voice low. "I'm Seth Donovan. We spoke earlier. This is Louis Martinez, my colleague."She nodded quickly, gesturing for them to sit. "I remember you. Thank you for coming. Both of you." Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I've been...I've been carrying this for so long."She reached into her oversized purse and pulled out a manila envelope, worn at the edges like it had been handled many times. Her fingers lingered on it before she pushed it across the table."My husband..." she paused, swallowing hard. "He wasn't always a good man, but he was thorough. Kept records of everything. Insurance, he called it."Louis picked up the envelope while Seth studied Mrs. Thompson's face. "Why now?" he asked gently.

The night was endless, a fight Eliza couldn't win. JJ's fever raged like a fire, his tiny body too hot, his cries piercing. Her designer blouse—once a symbol of her old life—was now wrinkled, stained, and clinging to her as she darted back and forth, wet napkins in hand, trying to cool him down."Shh, baby," she whispered, though her voice was barely there. "Mommy's here."But nothing worked. JJ’s cries only grew louder, echoing off the thin motel walls. The cheap room felt smaller and smaller, closing in on her with every minute. No money for a doctor. No help. Just her and her sick little boy.She tried everything she could think of—cold clothes, gentle rocking, soft lullabies. The tricks she used to pay others to do were now her last hope. The hours dragged, heavy and cruel.Finally, sometime before dawn, JJ’s cries stopped. His fever eased, and his breathing slowed. Eliza sat on the edge of the bed, completely exhausted. She had not slept, nor even rested her eyes even for a secon

Isabella walked into the hospital cafeteria and looked around the room until she saw Eliza seated in a booth in the corner. The woman appeared smaller than Isabella could recall, and a frightening vulnerability had taken the place of her normal self-assured manner. Eliza had a mixture of desperation and hope in her eyes as Isabella drew closer. "Thank you for coming," She said in a voice that was almost audible, a little bit above a whisper. "Start talking," Isabella responded, sliding into the seat across from her. "What's going on? Why I'm I here?"Eliza's story spilt out - the medical crisis, Jackson's abandonment, Richard's rejection. She explained JJ's critical need for a blood transfusion and how she'd exhausted every possible option. "You're AB negative," Eliza concluded, "and you're his only hope."Isabella listened carefully, her initial anger slowly giving way to concern for the innocent child caught in this web of adult complications. She thought about JJ - a child who ha

Isabella, Seth, Louis, and Frederick gathered in a little corner out of sight during the break. There was enough tension in the room for a knife to pierce it. Isabella paced while her heels clicked on the ground. "I do not like this," she said, running her hands through her hair. "Barrett is too confident. What if Richard actually walks free?"Frederick leaned back in his chair, a knowing smile playing on his lips. "That's exactly what I want them to think."Seth raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?""I'm playing dumb," Frederick explained, his eyes gleaming. "Let them attack our evidence. Let them think they're winning. They have no proof of Richard's innocence - not a single piece. But me?" He tapped his briefcase. "I'm just getting started."He turned to Louis sharply. "Tell me you collected everything by the book. We can't have any of it thrown out on technicalities."Louis shifted uncomfortably. "About that evidence...There's something else you should know," he said, his voice
