Falling For My Surrogate Mistress
Fiona Woods has spent five years being the perfect shadow—playing Darwin Solomon’s stand-in for a woman he could never have. Her life has been dictated by his whims, her own desires buried beneath layers of quiet endurance. But when she discovers she’s pregnant, everything changes.
Determined to protect her unborn child and reclaim her life, Fiona walks away from Darwin and the toxic world he represents. But Darwin isn’t ready to let her go—and neither are the secrets and enemies circling them both. As lies unravel and hidden truths come to light, Fiona and Darwin find themselves drawn back together, forced to confront the ghosts of their past and the enemies determined to destroy them.
Can love emerge from years of pain and betrayal? Or will their chance at happiness be crushed under the weight of secrets too heavy to bear?

Chapter: CHAPTER 150 The glowing red numbers on Lucian’s watch sent a cold wave of panic through the room. “Damn it,” Darwin hissed, tightening his grip on Lucian’s collar. “What did you do?” Lucian smirked, despite the blood trickling from his temple. “If I die, I’m not dying alone.” Fiona’s heart pounded. There was no time to argue. She lunged, snatching Lucian’s wrist to get a better look at the countdown. 00:25 Thalassa grabbed Fiona’s arm. “We have to get out of here!” But Fiona wasn’t listening. Her mind raced as she examined the watch. It wasn’t just a simple trigger—it was linked to the entire estate’s security system. Lucian had rigged everything. Darwin slammed Lucian against the steel vault door. “Where’s the kill switch?” Lucian let out a wheezing laugh. “You think I’d tell you?” 00:22 Fiona’s hands trembled as she traced the watch’s structure. If she could access the controls, she might be able to disable the detonator. But Lucian wasn’t going to let that happen. With a sudden j

Chapter: CHAPTER 149Lucian’s smirk sent a chill down Fiona’s spine. He was still in control—or at least, he thought he was. Fiona pressed the barrel of her gun harder against his chest. “You’re out of moves, Lucian.” His breath hitched slightly, but his confidence never wavered. “That’s where you’re wrong,” he whispered. Then, before Fiona could react, his hand shot forward—grabbing her wrist. A sharp twist sent pain shooting up her arm. She barely managed to keep hold of her weapon. Lucian took advantage, rolling out from under her and kicking up at her stomach. The impact sent her stumbling back. Lucian bolted. Fiona cursed, pushing through the pain. She wasn’t letting him get away. She sprinted after him, boots pounding against the marble floor. The estate was vast, with high ceilings and corridors that twisted in confusing patterns. But Fiona had memorized the layout from Marcus’s schematics. Lucian made a sharp turn down a side hallway, heading toward a stairwell leading to the underground

Chapter: CHAPTER 148 The message from Lucian burned on the screen like a final, ominous warning. “You think you’ve won? You have no idea what’s coming.” Fiona stared at it, her pulse pounding in her ears. Thalassa leaned in. “We just exposed every secret he’s been keeping. What else could he possibly have left?” Darwin exhaled sharply. “If Lucian still has a card to play, we need to find out what it is—fast.” Marcus was already scanning through Lucian’s known connections. “He’s been operating in the shadows for years. If there’s something bigger at play, it won’t be in these files.” Fiona’s mind raced. Lucian wasn’t the type to bluff. If he had something left, it was something none of them had considered yet. And that terrified her. The group relocated to a secondary safe house just outside Zurich. The walls were bare, the furniture minimal. Every precaution had been taken to ensure it was off-grid, but after Bella’s ambush, no place felt truly safe anymore. Fiona sat at the edge of the worn cou

Chapter: CHAPTER 147 The air in the new hideout was thick with tension. Fiona paced the length of the room, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Marcus was hunched over his laptop, fingers moving rapidly as he worked through Lucian’s remaining assets. Thalassa stood by the window, gun in hand, her sharp eyes scanning for any sign of movement outside. Darwin leaned against the table, studying the encrypted message Lucian had sent. “You’ve made a mistake. Now, I make the rules.” It was a declaration of war. Fiona exhaled sharply. “We need to hit him before he retaliates.” Marcus didn’t look up from his screen. “I’m working on it. His network is massive, but I’ve managed to isolate a few key players who are still operational.” Thalassa turned from the window. “How much time do we have before he strikes?” Darwin’s expression was grim. “Not long.” Lucian had lost a fortune overnight, and men like him didn’t accept losses without making others suffer for it. He would retaliate. The only question wa

Chapter: CHAPTER 146 The safe house in Zurich was dark except for the soft glow of multiple laptop screens. The tension in the air was thick, the only sound being the rapid clicking of Marcus’s keyboard as he worked through Alistair Graves’s financial records. His eyes darted between numbers, graphs, and offshore account details, unraveling a vast network of money laundering and illicit transactions. “His accounts are like a spiderweb,” Marcus muttered, barely blinking. “Shell companies, offshore holdings, crypto wallets. He’s moving billions like it’s pocket change.” Fiona leaned over his shoulder, her gaze narrowing as she examined the figures flashing on the screen. “Can we shut them down?” Marcus exhaled, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Not all at once. But if we hit the right accounts, we can cripple his ability to fund Lucian’s operations.” Darwin, standing near the window with his arms crossed, turned to them. His jaw was set in determination. “Then we do it.” Thalassa, sitting across the ro

Chapter: CHAPTER 145The air inside the safe house was thick with tension. The stolen files sat on Marcus’s laptop, illuminating the dim room with a dull glow. Fiona, Darwin, Thalassa, and Marcus huddled around the screen, their faces etched with disbelief. “These people…” Marcus murmured, his fingers skimming across the keyboard. “They’re not just criminals. They control everything.” The list of names scrolled endlessly—billionaires, politicians, intelligence operatives, military leaders. Each one is tied to William, Lucian, and a secret organization that stretches across continents. Fiona’s stomach twisted. “This isn’t just about revenge anymore.” She looked up at Darwin. “If we expose them, we’re taking on the entire system.” Darwin leaned against the wall, his jaw tight. “That’s exactly what we need to do.” Thalassa scoffed. “Easier said than done. These people don’t just disappear because we drop a few files on the internet.” “She’s right,” Marcus said, rubbing his temples. “If we release this
