he couldn’t bring himself to pick up the pen.
Silence hung heavy in the office, driving Eleanor to the brink of madness. “Say something! Either speak or sign!”
His wordless stare unnerved her, sending a flicker of panic through her veins.
“If fate doesn’t want us to divorce, then we won’t,” Dominic finally said, his voice steady.
Eleanor froze, her heart plummeting into her stomach.
“Are you crazy? She killed your brother’s daughter! She’s going to jail!” she screamed.
She’d known coming back to ask Dominic to sign a new agreement was a bad idea-her worst fears were now
confirmed.
“Then I’ll wait for her to get out. Is that acceptable?” Dominic replied flatly.
“You…” Eleanor was so enraged she could barely speak, her vision swimming with fury.

agreement and tore it to shreds, the sound of paper ripping echoing in the tense air.
Seeing the destroyed papers, Eleanor roared, “Dominic!”
“Fate has spoken,” he said calmly, as if discussing the
weather.
The word “fate” sounded bitter and mocking to Eleanor’s
ears.
She pointed a trembling finger at him, her voice shaking with rage. “You’re… you’re crazy! Truly crazy!”
Dominic took another slow drag on his cigarette, turning his gaze to the window.
He said no more, but his silence only stoked Eleanor’s anger further.
With a final huff of exasperation, she spun on her heel and stormed out of the office.
Jason was waiting outside, his expression anxious.
He hurried in the moment Eleanor left, only to find the:49

“Mr. Hawthorne,” he greeted cautiously, stepping over
the debris.
“Find out the real reason behind the Smith Group’s actions quickly,” Dominic ordered, his voice still cold from the earlier argument.
Jason nodded. “Yes, sir.”
The Smith Group was now like a rabid dog, tearing into Hawthorne Group’s assets without mercy.
“And bring me another phone-one she hasn’t received calls from before,” Dominic added.
Nearly every number he’d used to reach Aurelia had been
blocked.
Her hatred for him now was deep, unbridled loathing.
Jason fetched a new phone in record time. Dominic took it, his fingers brushing the screen as he dialed Aurelia’s number immediately.
Back at Starlight Hill, Aurelia had locked herself in her room, the door a barrier between her and the rest of the 19

world.
Gareth had someone keeping watch, growing increasingly concerned about her prolonged silence.
Sensing her distress, he’d ordered an investigation into her conversation with Grace-only to learn the elderly woman had passed away shortly after Aurelia’s departure.
Sebastian’s call came through just as Gareth was reviewing the report. He answered promptly, “Mr. Smith.”
“What’s wrong with Aurelia? Why isn’t she answering her phone?” Sebastian’s deep voice rumbled through the line, laced with undercurrents of worry.
“Ms. Smith met with an elderly lady today. Her mood shifted drastically afterward. She locked herself in her room as soon as she returned,” Gareth explained.
“What did they discuss?”
“I’m not sure, sir. No one else was present during their conversation,” Gareth replied, his tone cautious.

room for argument.
Gareth’s heart skipped a beat at the urgency in
Sebastian’s voice. “The elderly lady has passed away, sir. There’s no way to ask her now.”
Sebastian fell silent, the line quiet for a long moment.
Final words?
Words that had shaken Aurelia to her core.
Who was this lady?
“She was someone who looked after Ms. Smith at the orphanage,” Gareth replied.
“Did she and Dominic finalize the divorce?”
“No. Sarah was in a car accident on her way to the courthouse with the divorce papers. The car exploded, but she was rescued. The papers were destroyed in the blast,” Gareth said.
The mention of a car accident made Sebastian’s breath gatgh. “Did Dominic orchestrate this?”

“We’re still investigating the cause, sir. It’s too early to confirm if Mr. Hawthorne was involved,” Gareth replied carefully.
Could Dominic have done it?
It was plausible-he’d fought the divorce every step of the
way.
“Get to the bottom of it. Our people don’t suffer injuries for no reason,” Sebastian ordered, his voice hardening.
“Yes, sir.”
Sebastian ended the call abruptly.
Inside her room, Aurelia’s phone rang, cutting through the silence.
She stared at the screen for a moment before answering, and Dominic’s voice filtered through.
“Since the first divorce didn’t go through, let’s call it off. It must be fate.”

How did the Hawthornes deserve to live?
Before tearing them apart, her mother in heaven would never let her leave the Hawthorne family so easily.
She couldn’t walk away without making them pay- without avenging the mother she’d lost.
Her calm response took Dominic by surprise.
He’d expected her to shout, to rage-to lash out as she had so many times lately.
Instead, her voice was soft, even laced with a hint of a smile, a gentle, familiar smile.
Could she really feel that way toward him now?
Dominic wondered if he was hallucinating, the sound of her sweet, smiling voice from their happier days echoing in his ears.
But those days were long gone. Everything had changed.
