Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 172

Chapter 172 Dominic’s Love Shattered Completely

All of Westchester County seemed shrouded in a bleak, oppressive chill.

Eleanor, consumed by rage, lunged forward as if to tear Aurelia apart. “You vicious woman, you should just die!”

Aurelia responded with a single punch, knocking Eleanor

away.

Eleanor crashed to the ground once again.

The already explosive tension escalated further as Dominic roared, “Aurelia!”

His shout rang out sharply.

When Aurelia turned to look at him, his hand was already

raised.

Yet the instant their eyes met, his hand froze in midair.

Aurelia glanced at his raised hand and then met his gaze again, silent and unmoving.

Dominic’s breathing grew heavier and heavier.

Seeing Dominic hesitate, Eleanor screamed from the side, “Hit her! Go on, hit her! Dominic, Adrian’s child was killed by her, and you are still protecting her?”

The call Eleanor had just received was about the child.

Over the past two days, she had also sent people to search for Lily.

The call had been from her people, telling her that Lily was already dead.

Tears streamed down Eleanor’s face as she shouted, “Adrian is dead, and we could not even protect the child he left behind. That was Lily, the healthy one. Leo is in intensive care, his life hanging by a thread, and now even the healthy Lily is gone!”

With each word Eleanor spat out, Dominic’s raised hand seemed closer to striking Aurelia.

Aurelia took a step back.

At the

same moment, Dominic’s hand came down. But:36

face.

His fingertips merely grazed her cheek.

That slight contact was enough to snap Dominic out of his blind rage.

Aurelia looked at him coldly.

Meeting her utterly emotionless gaze, Dominic felt as though something inside him had suddenly collapsed, leaving a hollow void.

“You actually dodged?” Eleanor screamed as she struggled to her feet.

Aurelia did not even look at her. She spoke flatly, “Are you done?”

As if worried Dominic might not understand, she added, “Do you really think this marriage still needs to continue?”

Eleanor’s voice went sharp with fury. “You think you still have a place in this family?” she snapped. “After everything you have done?”

Eleanor had completely lost control.

At that moment, she wanted nothing more than to throw Aurelia out immediately.

She truly had gone mad. Lily was dead, and she felt as though her own mind was breaking.

Ignoring both Aurelia and Dominic, she ran upstairs alone.

Doors slammed violently upstairs, followed by the sound of things being dragged and thrown around.

It was clear Eleanor was packing things up.

Dominic felt an enormous emptiness in his chest as he looked at Aurelia, as though she were a stranger.

After a long moment, he spoke with difficulty, his voice strained.

“How could you be so cruel?” Dominic demanded. “She was not even a month old. She was still so small.”

Lily was dead.

At that moment, Dominic realized that everything he thought he knew about Aurelia had been wrong.

He had loved her deeply, to the very core.

And now, that love made him feel like a complete joke.

Aurelia looked at him coldly. “Lily may not have been a month old,” she said, “but at least she saw the world for a few days. My two children never even had that chance.”

Dominic’s anguish did nothing to soften her voice.

Hearing her say this in such a voice made her sound every bit like the vicious woman they accused her of being.

Dominic was furious. He stepped forward and seized her by the throat. “Aurelia, how did you even dare?”

His eyes were red with rage.

In the next instant, Aurelia lifted her leg and kicked him squarely in his most vulnerable spot.

Dominic cried out in pain and released her immediately.

Aurelia had no intention of explaining anything further. After all, even a clear, undeniable recording could be dismissed by him as AI-generated.

With someone like that, no explanation would have made. any difference.

Even if she talked until dawn, he would not listen to a single word.

Aurelia rolled up her sleeves slightly. “Are we signing the divorce agreement, or are we going straight to the courthouse?”

Dominic said nothing.

Her tone was indifferent, as if she felt no attachment to this marriage at all.

Aurelia continued, “I suggest going straight to the courthouse. It is faster. No, actually, just do it by agreement. Let the lawyers handle it.”

The more she spoke, the calmer she became.

So calm it was as though she were talking about someone else’s life, something that had nothing to do with her.

And because of that calm, the look in Dominic’s eyes grew increasingly dangerous.

“So you would not even spare a child, just so you could divorce me sooner and be with Grant?”

Aurelia fell silent.

The child. Grant.

Those were exactly the two things she least wanted to hear mentioned in their marriage.

She did not respond. Instead, she coolly pulled out her phone and sent a message to Gareth. [Come to Westchester County immediately and pick me up. Bring plenty of people, and bring weapons.]

Lily was dead.

She did not need anyone to tell her that her marriage to Dominic was truly over.

This was the outcome she had wanted, the outcome she

had been waiting for.

But Lily…

There was nothing Aurelia could have done. Lily had been born to a mother like Lauren, and that alone explained everything. She had no reason to grieve over a tragedy she had never caused.

Seeing Aurelia remain silent only fueled Dominic’s anger. “Lily is dead, and you think you can just walk away cleanly?”

He turned and sat down on the sofa, still not lighting a

cigarette.

He looked at Aurelia and said, “Was I too good to you before, to the point that you thought even if a child died, I would never hold you accountable?”

She stared at him.

Before Aurelia could respond, Eleanor came rushing downstairs with an armful of belongings. “Get out! Get out of here! I am telling you right now, I will call the golice. I will send you to prison, and you will spend the

rest of your life there!”

She flung the items Dominic had bought for Aurelia out the door, shouting about calling the police.

Aurelia did not care. Everything Eleanor threw out had been bought by Dominic anyway. She had never touched them, so they were not hers to begin with.

She simply looked at Dominic. Dominic stared back at her coldly.

It was obvious that on the matter of calling the police, he was now in full agreement with Eleanor.

After all, the night before, when he left Westchester County, he had already said that if she did not bring the child back, he would call the police and have her arrested.

Aurelia shrugged.

As Eleanor turned back again, preparing to go upstairs to throw out even more things, Aurelia calmly dialed the police.

Eleanor had just reached the stairs when she heard Aurelia say into the phone, “I want to report a case.”

She continued, “This morning, I reported a missing child. We have now received information that the child is dead. Yes. The child died while in the kidnappers’ custody.”

Eleanor froze.
