Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 204

Chapter 204 A Blow That Shattered the Past

After leaving Starlight Hill, Grant went to meet a client

first.

When he got back to the company, someone from the secretary department rushed to tell Miles that Dominic had shown up.

Miles’ face darkened immediately. “Why didn’t you report it before letting him in?”

Things between Dominic and Grant had gone completely sour lately. Whatever friendship they’d had was long

gone.

Dominic couldn’t just waltz into Fletcher Group anymore like he used to.

“The thing is, Mr. Hawthorne barged right in,” the secretary explained. “We couldn’t stop him.”

Miles frowned harder when he heard it was a forced entry. “How long has he been here?”

Miles sighed. No wonder there hadn’t been time to warn anyone. Dominic hadn’t given them a chance to react.

The secretaries had clearly been rattled by his aggressive push past them.

Miles hurried to catch up with Grant.

As they walked, he lowered his voice. “Mr. Hawthorne is already in your office.”

Grant stopped dead, his expression turning ice cold.

“Should you avoid him for now?” Miles asked. “I can go deal with Mr. Hawthorne first.”

Whenever Dominic came looking for Grant these days, it was never for anything good.

Miles was genuinely worried the two would start throwing punches again.

In his eyes, Dominic had turned into a loose cannon.

He had destroyed his own marriage beyond repair, yet now he snapped at anyone in sight.

He seemed convinced that Aurelia’s wanting a divorce must have been someone else’s instigation.

Had he completely forgotten everything he had done over the past six months?

His relationship with Lauren was murky at best, yet he wouldn’t allow Aurelia to ask for a divorce. He was being utterly unreasonable.

Grant’s reply was short and sharp. “No need.”

Miles scratched his head. “But…”

Before he could finish, Grant strode toward the office, shrugging off his trench coat and tossing it to Miles.

Miles caught it neatly. Then came the suit jacket, followed by the tie.

Even in those abrupt motions, Grant managed to look effortlessly polished.

The entire secretary department stared in stunned silence.

They could all tell that Grant looked like he was about to beat Dominic senseless, and yet they couldn’t help thinking that even a handsome man heading into a fight still looked good doing it.

He yanked off his tie last, flinging it back into Miles’ waiting hands.

The

next second, he shoved the office door open and

stormed in.

Miles tried to follow, but the door slammed shut in his

face.

He could only wait outside, resigned.

One bold secretary edged closer and whispered, “Miles, is Mr. Fletcher about to fight Mr. Hawthorne?”

Miles shot her a sideways glance. “Got nothing better to do?”

She shrank back and stayed quiet.

Miles pressed his ear toward the door, listening closely. He didn’t want Grant at any disadvantage.

Dominic’s temper was no secret.

If he really lost control, the entire office could be reduced

to rubble.

Inside the office, Dominic was still clutching his stomach. The pain hadn’t eased, and his face looked pale.

The sight of Grant made his expression twist even darker.

Grant loosened the cuffs of his sleeves as he approached.

Dominic instinctively leaned back a little.

Instead of heading to the sofa, Grant pivoted and drove a hard fist straight into Dominic’s face.

A heavy thud echoed through the room.

Dominic’s vision went white for a second.

It felt like his skull had rattled from the impact.

Eyry surged once he recovered. “Grant, how dare you!”,

He staggered to his feet, ready to fight back.

But just as he lunged toward Grant, Miles-who had been guarding the door-rushed in and grabbed Dominic from behind.

“Mr. Hawthorne, calm down, please calm down. Whatever it is, we can talk, don’t resort to violence.”

Miles barely got the words out before Grant landed another punch.

Dominic hadn’t even touched him. Hearing Miles preach calm now pushed him over the edge.

Who exactly needed to calm down?

Grant had started it without a word, and now this?

Dominic roared, “Let go of me!”

“Stay calm, please, just stay calm!”

Miles held on like a vice while Grant slipped in yet another hit.

Both Dominic and Miles froze for a beat.

The room felt bizarrely tense.

Dominic struggled desperately, trying to shake Miles off, but Miles held on like glue, refusing to let go.

“Don’t fight, Mr. Hawthorne!” he kept shouting.

“Who the hell is doing the fighting? Get off me!”

After taking two solid punches, Dominic was seeing red- he wanted to tear into Grant.

Stealing his wife and now beating him like this?

The office descended into chaos.

Miles acted like he was breaking up a fight, but he was really just pinning Dominic in place for Grant to land blows unchecked.

Five minutes later, Dominic was dizzy and swaying on his feet.

As Grant wound up for another, Miles finally jumped in front, blocking him.

“Mr. Fletcher, that’s enough. Any more and someone could get seriously hurt.”

Dominic felt like his liver was in agony. He glared viciously at Miles.

“Are you fucking blind? Who’s the one that needs to calm down?”

He was cursing uncontrollably now.

Grant stepped forward again, aiming a kick, but Miles grabbed his leg. “Sir, stop-it’s over!”

Dominic could barely stand straight. It really had to end.

Dominic bellowed, “I’m calling the cops! Is there no law around here?”

“Are you serious?”

Grant let out a cold, mocking laugh at the word.

At Miles’ urging, he finally sat down.

Dominic shouted back, “I’m shameless? I’m not the one stealing someone else’s wife!”

Grant’s voice stayed even. “Do you really not remember why she married you in the first place?”

Dominic’s hysterical rant cut off abruptly. He hadn’t expected Grant to say that-and the sharp look in his eyes threw him completely.

For a split second, their stares locked, and Dominic felt a guilty pang.

That shift in Grant’s tone stunned him.

He wondered if Grant knew some secret.

Seeing Dominic fall silent, especially the quick flicker of guilt in his eyes, Grant’s gaze grew even more piercing. “She never really wanted you at first, did she?”

Dominic froze.

When Grant said that, Dominic felt as though a piece of his heart had been carved out, leaving behind an ynbearable emptiness.

Grant continued, “You used to say she loved you so much. Dominic, how exactly did you get her? Were you just deceiving yourself, or have you truly forgotten how

chased her back then?

“Have you forgotten what made her fall for you in the first place?”

Dominic yelled, “Shut up!”

Every word felt like a needle stabbing his heart.

He couldn’t bear to hear more.

Grant’s words felt like a blade, viciously carving into a heart that already seemed hollow beyond repair.
