Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Are You Saying You Had a Miscarriage?-1

Dominic and Aurelia had a huge blow–up in the hospital room.

No matter what he demanded, she wouldn’t budge on suing

Lauren. Not an inch.

Chloe had been waiting outside the whole time. But when she heard Dominic say, “She fell last night and her wound split open–blood was everywhere…”

That was it. Chloe stormed in, done with his bullshit.

“Dominic, are you out of your damn mind? What did she do wrong by marrying you? Why are you torturing her like this?

“You bring up Lauren every single damn day. Do you even know that Aurelia was hemorrhaging last night too?”

Unbelievable.

She’d never seen someone throw their own wife under the bus this hard.

Lauren took a nasty fall and bled all over last night–totally her own doing. She tried to stop Dominic from dashing to Aurelia.

The met Dominic’s dangerous glare head–on. “Because of 9:49

that bitch, your wife had a miscarr-”

“Chloe.”

Aurelia cut her off.

Chloe looked at Aurelia, who shook her head slightly. She bit back the rest, nodding.

“Fine. If you’re gonna throw your wife away like that, then just divorce Aurelia already and go be with that homewrecker for the rest of your life.”

She was about to lose it.

But before she could say more, Dominic cut in, his voice sharp.

“Were you about to say she had a miscarriage too?”

Chloe: “…

་་

Aurelia: “…”

Dominic’s gaze went straight to Aurelia.

“Tell me. Did you have a miscarriage?”

Aurelia’s eyes turned ice cold. She didn’t say a word, just stared

at him.

Dominic’s lips curved into this weird smile, then he turned and walked out.

The moment the hospital room door closed.

Chloe looked at the door, then at Aurelia.

“What’s his deal? Acting like you’re faking it. God, the actual faker is right under his nose, and he’s completely blind to it…”

She couldn’t even finish. She just paced in circles, fuming.

Aurelia sighed. “I told you before–he didn’t even believe I was pregnant. How could he possibly believe I had a miscarriage?

“Everything I say? He thinks it’s just me trying to keep him here. Trying to pull him away from Lauren.”

That was their marriage now. In a nutshell.

Dominic didn’t believe she’d been pregnant.

And she didn’t believe there was nothing between him and

Lauren.

Chloe shook her head. “You’re about to divorce him anyway. Who’d want him to stick around?”

How ridiculous.

Aurelia shrugged. “Maybe he never thought I’d actually go through with the divorce.”

Chloe: “…”

Actually–yeah. That tracked.

The whole Hawthorne family thought that since Aurelia came from an orphanage, marrying Dominic was like winning the lottery.

Without Dominic? She had nothing.

The whole family, even Dominic, were convinced that Aurelia couldn’t leave him and wouldn’t dare to.

So this whole divorce thing? Just her throwing a tantrum. That’s all.

Buzz.

Aurelia’s phone vibrated. A message from Lauren.

[Dominic came. You lost again.]

Aurelia’s eyes darkened.

Chloe saw Lauren’s message too. Before Aurelia could even react, she snatched the phone right out of her hands. 4/6

“Wait–hold up.”

Then, she quickly took a screenshot.

Aurelia frowned. “What are you doing?”

“Saving evidence!”

Sure enough, right after Chloe took the screenshot, Lauren deleted the message.

She’d only given Aurelia enough time to read it before deleting it.

Chloe let out a sharp laugh. “Look, this homewrecker is pretty worried about Dominic seeing her true colors.”

If she wasn’t scared, she wouldn’t have deleted it.

Chloe shoved the phone back to Aurelia. “Now you can reply.”

Aurelia glanced at Chloe.

Chloe raised an eyebrow. “She’s worried about Dominic knowing what she’s really like. You’re not afraid, right?”

Aurelia smirked. Of course, she wasn’t afraid.

She immediately typed back. [Wasn’t it supposed to be five 5/6 minutes? Guess you didn’t totally win either?]

She might not give a damn about that bastard anymore, but she sure as hell wasn’t losing face to the mistress.

Lauren’s reply came fast. [Only six minutes over. Are you actually feeling proud? How pathetic…]

“Screenshot! Now!” Chloe urged.

Aurelia captured it instantly.

The second she took the screenshot, Lauren deleted the message again.

So Aurelia fired back two messages of her own.

[Just some trash anyway. You seem pretty happy picking up scraps.]

[Don’t worry, you’ll be even more pathetic than me soon.]

No response after that.

Lauren was probably with Dominic now.

Chloe looked at Aurelia. “Auri, what’s your plan?”

She asked out of genuine concern.

After all, Lauren had the entire Hawthorne family backing her, plus a billionaire mother in her corner.

In Chloe’s mind, Aurelia’s lawsuit against Maplecrest was kinda pointless.

This was like David versus Goliath–her against Lauren.

Aurelia thought for a moment. “Tomorrow, my marriage certificate with Dominic and our divorce papers are gonna be all over New York.”

“Wait–WHAT??”

Chloe’s jaw dropped.

“You’re gonna announce your marriage to Dominic? But this…”

“I’m divorcing him, but if Lauren wants to climb up, she’s gotta wear the mistress label.”

What Marilyn had done in the business world over the years to land those projects?

Yeah, nobody needed a damn explanation.

They were both walking contradictions–using those shady methods to climb up, yet acting scared stiff of rumors, pretending to be these iron–willed “strong independent women.”

And the funniest part?

The thing Marilyn hated most was being called a mistress or a home–wrecker.

Perfect. That’s exactly where she’d hit them!

Chloe was stunned. “Once you announce your marriage certificate with Dominic, won’t Lauren be basically nailed as

the mistress?”

This whole time, all of New York had been buzzing about how Dominic would take over his twin brother’s woman and kid.

And nobody knew Dominic was already married.

Once this marriage certificate went public, it would absolutely explode!

All the gossip would target Lauren directly…

This revenge was satisfying, sure,

But seeing how tough Aurelia was being, with these people, Chloe was even more worried.

“Lauren’s mom definitely won’t let you off the hook. Auri, maybe we should think of something else?”

“Relax. She’s got a rich mommy, and I…”

Aurelia’s voice trailed off.

She closed her eyes for a moment. “I’ve got family who’ll protect me no matter what.”

Family–the word had been so foreign to her world.

But now, saying them filled her heart with warmth.

Chloe looked confused. “What? Family? Yours?”

“Yeah, mine.”

She had family in this world. Real family. The kind who’d fight for her.

Chloe was even more confused. “But don’t you not have any?” 3/7

When she said this, Chloe’s tone was obviously careful.

In her mind, Aurelia had grown up in an orphanage with no family.

That’s exactly why she’d taken care of her in so many ways over the years.

But now she was saying she had family…?

Aurelia nodded. “I didn’t before, but I do now.”

Chloe blinked. “What’s the situation? Is there something I don’t know about?”

Hearing that Aurelia had family, Chloe was shocked at first, then got excited.

Oh my God…

Knowing how determined Aurelia seemed, she’d been so worried.

After all, that old witch Marilyn was seriously not someone to mess with. She really worried that Aurelia’s tough attitude would piss off Marilyn.

Now she was saying she had family? A family that could protect

her? 4/7

Facing Chloe’s curious and shocked expression, Aurelia didn’t hide anything and told her everything that had happened in the past month.

After hearing it all, Chloe was completely blown away…

Germany. The Smith family.

The Smith Group that controlled half the world’s economy, and she was actually the little princess of the Smith Group?

Chloe could barely believe it.

“Auri, wait—you’re saying… Sebastian Smith, the head of Smith Group, is your actual brother?”

Was this seriously not a joke?

Sebastian—the one who topped every international business forum year after year. The living legend.

Aurelia nodded. “I only found out a month ago too. Don’t tell

anyone.”

Chloe shook her head. “But this…”

She was absolutely mind–blown!

break she’d ever get.

And now? Turns out the “nobody” everyone looked down on was actually the lost little princess of Germany’s Smith Group.

And Sebastian–the guy girls all over the world saw as a god- was actually her brother.

“Auri, I must be dreaming. Come on, pinch me.”

Aurelia reached over and twisted her cheek.

“OW OW OW–okay, okay, that hurts! It’s real!”

Not a dream.

“Oh my God, I’m not worried about you anymore. Your brother is Sebastian freaking Smith. You don’t need my help–he’s everyone else’s nightmare.”

Lauren’s wealthy mother was basically an ant compared to Smith Group!

Chloe suddenly got energized like she’d been shot with adrenaline, excitedly pacing around the hospital room.

“Go off, girl. Seriously. Burn it all down. I’m behind you 100%. Wreck them!”

She’d been so worried about Marilyn coming after Aurelia.
