Dominic gritted his teeth so hard his jaw ached. “How is that the same thing?”

Aurelia scoffed, her tone sharp with disdain. “How is it different? If there’s any distinction to be made, it’s just that you’re a man and I’m a woman.”

Her simple, cutting words made Dominic’s temples throb with renewed anger.

When had she developed this knack for staying quiet until the perfect moment, then hitting him with verbal blows that left him reeling?

He’d explained Lauren’s situation to her countless times before. Now, he didn’t want to talk about it anymore.

“You’re being discharged, right? Let’s go,” he said, his voice. tight. “I’ll arrange for a doctor to stay at Oakridge Estate and take care of you.”

After the bleeding incident that morning, Dominic was reluctant to let her leave the hospital.

But he knew her-if he forced her to stay, she’d find a way to

sneak out, and he’d never be able to track her down. He hx Close

He stepped forward to take her hand, but Aurelia dodged him easily, pulling her arm away like his touch burned.

Dominic’s expression darkened further, storm clouds gathering in his eyes. “What? You don’t want to go home?”

Aurelia let out a cold, mocking laugh. “Home? Dominic, are you joking? If that place was really my home, would I have nearly died there?”

Dominic fell silent, the accusation hanging heavy in the air. He couldn’t argue with that.

Aurelia pressed on, her voice laced with bitterness. “And you stood by and watched it happen, didn’t you? Cold as ice. How could I ever dare to…”

Dominic cut her off sharply. “This morning was an accident.”

He couldn’t defend his actions, and he didn’t want to dwell on it. But after what had happened, he swore to himself he’d be more careful-he’d protect her, no matter what.

Aurelia shook her head, her eyes cold and unforgiving. “One accident nearly cost me my life. I don’t want to stick around for a second or a third.”

Dominic’s voice dropped, urgent and desperate. “It will

happen again. I promise you that.”

Aurelia stared at him, her gaze sharp enough to slice through his resolve. “I don’t trust putting my life in the hands of someone like you.”

Dominic had nothing to say to that.

No matter what he said now, Aurelia had a retort ready. It infuriated him, leaving him seething with helpless rage, yet he couldn’t find a single argument to fight back with.

He took several deep breaths, trying to calm the storm raging inside him.

Before he could speak, Aurelia went on, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “After all, when I nearly lost my life, you thought an apology would fix everything. If I’d actually died, who would I have complained to then?”

Dominic snapped, “I said that kind of thing will never…”

“I said I don’t trust you!” Aurelia shot back, her voice rising to cut him off.

Dominic fell silent once more.

Her firm, unyielding declaration hung in the air, turning

Dominic stared at her, his chest heaving with ragged breaths. “So what exactly do you want from me?”

“Divorce!” she said, the word ringing out loud and clear, filled with unshakable resolve.

He’d asked through gritted teeth, and she’d answered with equal determination.

In that moment, Dominic finally believed it. Aurelia wasn’t bluffing about the divorce.

And the thought only fueled his suspicion that something was going on between her and Grant.

His chest tightened, a sharp pain shooting through him.

Dominic trembled with rage, his hands clenched into fists so tight his nails dug into his palms. “Divorce? Don’t even think about it. Not now, not ever.

“Jason is already handling the things you want back. Drop this nonsense and stop making a scene!”

This time, Aurelia didn’t fire back with a retort. She just looked at him calmly, her eyes cold and empty.

Just then, Aurelia’s phone rang, breaking the tense silen

She pulled it out of her pocket, and her lips curved into a faint smile.

Before she could answer, Dominic snatched the phone from her hand. He assumed it was Grant calling.

He opened his mouth, ready to roar into the phone, but Marilyn’s voice cut him off first. “This was your doing, wasn’t it?”

Even through the phone’s speaker, Dominic could feel Marilyn’s rage, thick and venomous.

Dominic frowned, his eyes darting to Aurelia instinctively.

Aurelia stepped forward, calm and unhurried, and pulled the phone from his hand.

She pressed it to her ear, a light, amused laugh escaping her lips. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Mrs. Drake.”

“Cut the crap, Aurelia! You had Grant do this, didn’t you?” Marilyn snarled.

Word came from overseas. The project her company spent six months securing-pouring time, money, and resources into- got abruptly blocked.

The German partners didn’t even bother with an explanation. They just sent a cold, one-line email: We don’t accept exports from your company.

Marilyn knew without a doubt that Grant was behind it. He’d spent years in Germany, building connections and business networks that ran deep. No one else had the power to sink her

deal that fast.

The moment Marilyn got the news, her world crumbled. But almost instantly, she realized who was really pulling the strings —Aurelia.

Grant had never targeted her in all these years. There was no reason for him to strike now unless Aurelia had asked him to.

Marilyn screamed into the phone, her voice hysterical with rage. “Aurelia, you’ve gone too far!”

Her shrill, desperate cries echoed through the room.

Aurelia laughed even louder, her tone dripping with mockery. “Mrs. Drake, you’re joking. In your eyes, I’m not even as good as a dog. How could someone like me possibly mess with you?”

“You…” Marilyn’s voice hitched, choking on her own fury.

Aurelia smiled, her voice sweet and innocent as she aske

unreadable.

Marilyn’s jaw tightened so hard it looked like it might break. “So it really was you?”

Her rage was so intense that it was a wonder the phone didn’t melt in her hand.

One second, Aurelia was pretending innocence. The next, she was practically confessing? It was enough to drive Marilyn insane.

Aurelia replied, her tone light and taunting, “Remember? I’m not even as good as a dog to you. These little troubles? I’m sure someone as powerful as you can fix them in no time, Mrs. Drake.”

Throwing Marilyn’s own words back at her was the cruellest mockery of all.

As Marilyn raged on the other end of the line, Aurelia hung up without a second thought.
