Billionaire’s Regret After Losing Her (Aurelia) novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Good to You

Aurelia froze, caught completely off guard.

Before she could react, Dominic reached out and gently ruffled

her hair.

“You’re such a sweet girl, how’d you get so worked up over fighting and killing? You really want your husband to break the law?

“I can’t do that. If I end up in jail, you won’t have a husband to take care of you anymore.”

Aurelia stared at him, stunned.

This was classic Dominic. Every single time their argument hit a breaking point, he’d pull this kind of switch-up. Using playful, teasing words to sweep all the ugly stuff under the rug.

Back when things hadn’t blown up this bad, Aurelia might have let him get away with it, depending on her mood.

But now? Now everything was different.

Aurelia swatted his hand away hard.

His hand froze in mid-air

Dominic didn’t seem to mind one bit. “Alright, alright. Don’t be mad. I said I’d give you an explanation, and I will.”

Aurelia had no clue what kind of explanation he was talking about. But beneath his smiling, casual tone, there was an undercurrent of dead seriousness that she couldn’t miss.

Before Aurelia could say a word, Dominic’s phone started buzzing loudly.

He glanced down at the caller ID. In an instant, his smile vanished completely.

He answered the call. “Talk.”

The aura around Dominic was so dangerous that it made the air feel heavy. It was like the man who’d been teasing just a second ago never existed at all.

Aurelia couldn’t make out what the person on the other end was saying, only that it was a man’s gruff voice.

After listening for a few seconds, Dominic let out a sharp, bloodthirsty laugh. “Want to negotiate? Fine. Have her come apologize to my wife in person.”

As he said it, Dominic’s eyes flicked instinctively to Aurelia.

side.

And Dominic wanted… an apology?

She’d just told him Marilyn had almost killed her. And now all he wanted was a lousy apology?

How ridiculous.

So her life was worth so little in Dominic’s eyes?

She was so lost in that bitter thought that she didn’t catch the

rest of what Dominic said to the caller.

It wasn’t until Dominic’s warm palm covered the back of her hand that Aurelia snapped back to reality.

She looked up at him, her eyes calmer than they’d ever been.

In that moment, Aurelia thought maybe she’d never been important to Dominic at all.

Even though she’d almost lost her life, it could be fixed with. nothing more than a single “sorry.”

“Did you hear all that?” he asked, his voice soft again.

Aurelia nodded slowly. “Yeah. I heard.”

Listening to his gentle tone now, she felt an unprecedented wave of irony wash over her.

She’d heard it. She’d heard him barter an apology for the life she’d nearly lost.

What a grand, generous apology that was. He’d really gone out of his way for her, hadn’t he?

Dominic kept going, like he genuinely thought he’d done something good. “Satisfied now?”

Aurelia bit down hard on her lower lip, hard enough to taste blood.

Satisfied? So this was the so-called explanation he’d promised her?

Dominic smiled, like he was proud of himself. “Marilyn’s never bowed her head to anyone in all her years in New York.”

Aurelia let out a sharp, mocking laugh. “Well, then, I must be so honored. This explanation of yours is really something else.”

So, because Marilyn had never apologized to anyone before, Aurelia was supposed to be grateful for this measly gesture?

Aurelia’s lips twisted into a cold, sarcastic smile.

Dominic fell silent.

The air in the hospital room grew thick and oppressive all over again.

He pulled his warm palm away from hers, his face darkening as he looked down at her.

“You’ve turned all of New York upside down these past few days,” he said. “Whatever punishment you wanted them to face, they’ve faced it, haven’t they?”

Aurelia held her breath, her chest tightening..

She just stared at him, saying nothing.

He thought she’d caused all this chaos just to punish them?

She met Dominic’s eyes, and for the first time since they’d gotten married, she saw clear, unmasked danger in them.

Dominic was genuinely angry, angry at how she’d targeted

Lauren.

Aurelia laughed coldly, the sound sharp and bitter. “Are you trying to say I should stop now? That I’ve done enough?”

“What more do you want?” he pressed, his voice low and dangerous.

Aurelia didn’t back down, her gaze locking with his. “I went through all that trouble, and now Lauren’s little dream of marrying you is completely shattered. Are you disappointed too?”

Punishment? If they were talking about punishing Lauren, then yeah, this time it was more than enough.

All Lauren’s scheming over the past few months had been for one thing-marrying Dominic.

Now, if she dared to go through with it, every bit of the current public backlash in New York would be proven true.

If she really wanted to marry Dominic, she’d have to be prepared to never set foot outside her house again for the rest

of her life.

Dominic’s jaw tightened.

“I know you’re upset about what my mom did,” he said, his voice stiff, “but when you first joined the Hawthorne family, Lauren was good to you.”

Aurelia almost laughed out loud.

Good to her?
