Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 101
A Step Into the Unknown Fiona and Darwin didn’t speak as they left the airstrip. The weight of everything that had happened—the fights, the betrayals, the victories—still clung to them. But for the first time, it wasn’t a burden. It was a reminder. A lesson. They had survived. Now, they had to figure out how to live. The ride back to the city was quiet, the hum of the engine the only sound filling the space between them. Fiona watched the world blur past the window, her thoughts tangled. A fresh start. She had said those words, had meant them, but starting over wasn’t as easy as just saying it. What did a fresh start even look like for her? She had spent years pretending to be someone else, living under false names, running from shadows. Who was she without the fight? Without the need to constantly look over her shoulder? Darwin’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. “We should talk about where we go from here.” Fiona turned to him, searching his face. “You mean us?” He nod

Unfinished Conversations The city stretched out before them, glittering under the night sky. Fiona had spent so many nights staring at these lights, wondering if she would ever feel like she belonged. Tonight, for the first time, she wasn’t wondering—she was certain. She wasn’t running anymore. She belonged here. Darwin swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching her carefully. “So what now?” Fiona sighed, leaning back in her chair. “That’s the second time you’ve asked me that in the past week.” “And I’ll keep asking until I get a real answer,” he said. She looked at him, studying his face. There was something different about him. Less guarded, more open. Darwin had always been a man of control, but now? Now he seemed… willing to let go. Maybe they both were. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “For the first time in years, I don’t have a plan. I don’t have to survive. I just have to… be.” Darwin smirked. “You make it sound like a bad thing.” “It’s not,” she said quickly. “It’s j

A New Routine Fiona had never imagined what a normal life would look like for her. For so long, every day had been about survival—dodging enemies, escaping traps, and planning her next move before the past could catch up to her. Now, for the first time in what felt like forever, she woke up in the same bed for more than a few nights in a row. It was… strange. Her new apartment was modest—far from the luxury she had grown accustomed to during her time with Darwin, but that was exactly why she had chosen it. Tucked away in a quiet part of the city, it was the kind of place where people minded their own business, where she could be anonymous for once. No grand mansions, no security guards, no constant looking over her shoulder. Just her. Well, and Darwin. “You keep staring at your coffee like it holds the meaning of life,” he commented from across the small kitchen table, a smirk tugging at his lips. Fiona blinked, realizing she had barely taken a sip. “Maybe it does,” she mutte

Morning Stillness For the first time in years, Fiona woke up without the weight of uncertainty pressing against her chest. The city was still blanketed in the soft glow of dawn, streaks of gold filtering through her curtains. The world outside was moving, but for once, she wasn’t scrambling to keep up. She lay still, listening to the steady rhythm of her own breathing. It was a simple thing, yet it felt so foreign—to wake up without fear dictating her every move. No crisis to solve. No threats lurking just beyond her sight. The scent of coffee drifted through the air, rich and inviting, pulling her from her thoughts. She turned over and saw Darwin standing by the kitchen, his sleeves rolled up, his hair still slightly messy from sleep. He looked at home in her space, as if he belonged there. The sight sent a warmth through her, one she wasn’t sure she was ready to name. “You’re making a habit of this,” she murmured, stretching her arms above her head. He glanced over his should

A Meeting with Shadows Fiona stepped into the dimly lit lobby of the Kingston Grand Hotel, a five-star establishment known for hosting the city’s elite. The marble floors gleamed under soft golden lighting, and a faint scent of expensive cologne and freshly brewed coffee lingered in the air. Her heels clicked against the polished surface as she moved toward the elevator. She had dressed carefully—professional, poised, but not ostentatious. A fitted black blazer over a deep emerald blouse, paired with sleek trousers. It was a subtle armor, one she had learned to wear when facing men like Andrew Lennox. Her grip tightened around her clutch as she stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the twenty-second floor. Lennox had chosen a private suite for their meeting. That, in itself, told her everything she needed to know—he wanted discretion. The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime, revealing a plush hallway lined with dark wood paneling and gold accents. A waiter

A Warning Too Late Fiona stood frozen on the dimly lit sidewalk, her phone still pressed against her ear. Darwin’s words echoed in her mind: “If she takes this path, she won’t walk away from it.” A warning. A threat. Or both. Her fingers tightened around the flash drive in her pocket. She scanned the street, searching for anything—anyone—out of place. The city hummed around her, indifferent to her turmoil. “Fiona?” Darwin’s voice pulled her back. “I’m here,” she said, voice steady despite the unease curling in her stomach. “Come to my place,” he said. “Now.” Fiona hesitated. Going to Darwin meant bringing him into this mess. And after everything they’d just been through, was that really fair? But the weight of the flash drive in her pocket reminded her that fairness had never been part of the equation. “I’ll be there soon,” she said, hanging up before she could second-guess herself. She took one last glance at the Kingston Grand Hotel before hailing a cab. Whatever she had

A Race Against Time The city was just beginning to stir when Fiona, Darwin, and Marcus left the penthouse, slipping into the black SUV Marcus had waiting outside. The streets were quiet, the usual morning rush still an hour away. Fiona’s grip tightened around the flash drive in her pocket. There was no more time to hesitate. “Thalassa is expecting us,” Marcus said from the driver’s seat as they pulled away. “She’s already setting up secure servers to analyze the files.” Darwin nodded, staring out the window. “Good. We need to know exactly what we’re dealing with.” Fiona exhaled. “We already know enough.” They had proof of corruption, of backdoor deals that spanned countries. But more importantly, they had a target on their backs now. Darwin turned to her. “Knowing isn’t enough. We need a plan that doesn’t get us killed.” She looked at him, a ghost of a smile touching her lips. “That’s assuming there is one.” His expression darkened. “There is. And we’re going to find it.”

A Trap Set in Motion The warehouse fell silent. The voice outside was familiar, too familiar. Fiona felt her blood run cold. Darwin’s eyes flickered to hers, reading the realization in her expression. He reached for his gun. “Who is it?” he asked under his breath. Fiona swallowed hard. “Nathan Greaves.” Marcus stiffened. “That’s impossible. Greaves is dead.” “Or so we thought,” Fiona whispered. Lennox let out a ragged breath. “You don’t kill men like Greaves that easily.” A slow clap echoed from outside. “I’ll give you credit, Fiona,” Greaves called out. “You’ve been a thorn in my side longer than I expected. But this ends tonight.” Fiona felt Darwin tense beside her. His grip on his gun was steady, but his jaw was clenched tight. Thalassa pressed herself against the wall, peering through a gap in the metal paneling. “Three cars, at least six men armed to the teeth. We’re boxed in.” Lennox let out a dark chuckle. “You have no idea how much I regret getting you involved in

Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 177
The Ravenport compound burned in the distance, thick black smoke curling into the night sky like a dark omen. Sirens wailed from far off, but they wouldn’t arrive in time. Morrigan’s empire—fortified with secrets, silenced voices, and betrayal—was falling. And Fiona stood at the edge of the cliff overlooking it all, wind tangling her hair, eyes unblinking.Darwin limped to her side, blood soaking through the sleeve of his jacket. He glanced at the burning facility below and then at Fiona. "We did it," he said.Fiona’s jaw clenched. "Not yet. Morrigan’s still out there."From the moment they entered Ravenport, they knew they were walking into a trap. Morrigan had prepared for their arrival, planting explosives along the perimeter and stationing loyal guards disguised as medics and engineers. But what she hadn’t counted on was Sofia regaining consciousness and feeding them a map—hand-drawn, shaky, but enough.Inside the compound, Thalassa and Marcus were still securing the data vault. T
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 176
The morning after their quiet moment on the balcony, Fiona woke to the distant hum of tension that had become all too familiar. The events of the previous night—the confrontation, the narrow escape from the stronghold—still weighed heavily on her mind. Yet, there was something more pressing now. Their next move, the one that would finally bring them face-to-face with Morrigan, loomed like an unspoken promise. The safe house, typically a place of refuge, now felt like a pressure cooker. Fiona paced the length of the room, her thoughts a whirlwind of strategies and concerns. They had been living on borrowed time for too long. Morrigan had always been one step ahead, controlling the narrative, pulling the strings from the shadows. But now the game has changed. And Fiona wasn’t about to let it slip through their fingers. Darwin’s voice, calm and steady as always, broke the silence. "We need to discuss our next steps." His presence was like an anchor in the storm that raged within her.
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 175
The night was thick with silence, but beneath it, an unsettling buzz hummed in Fiona's chest. She stood on the balcony of their temporary hideout, her hands gripping the iron railing as if the pressure could somehow steady her racing thoughts. The city sprawled beneath her like a sleeping beast, the lights flickering like distant stars. It was hard to believe that just hours ago, they had breached Morrigan’s stronghold, driven her back into the shadows, and nearly taken down everything she had worked for. Yet, despite the victory, the air felt heavy, like a storm was brewing on the horizon, and it had little to do with the danger still lurking in the wings. Fiona’s mind kept drifting back to Darwin. The last few hours had been a whirlwind—so much action, so much chaos—but the moments that lingered in her mind were the ones shared with him. The quiet ones, when he had let down his guard, and she had seen the man beneath the mask of the CEO. "Fiona?" The low, familiar voice pulled her

The sun rose over Zurich like a blade of gold slicing through steel-gray clouds. Inside the safe house, the world was still. The boy—Alex—lay curled beneath the thick blanket, his small hands clenched around the edge as if bracing himself for whatever might come next. Fiona stood by the window, watching the street below. There were no sirens. No helicopters. No immediate signs that their extraction had triggered global alarm bells. But the silence itself was suspicious—too calculated, too calm. “They're watching,” she said quietly. Darwin stood behind her, arms crossed. “You think they let us go?” “I think we took a piece they weren’t ready to lose. And now they’re deciding whether to recover it… or erase it.” Darwin’s eyes flicked to Alex’s room. “They built an entire system around him. That chair wasn’t just a monitor—it was a throne. And he was their king.” “No,” Fiona said sharply, turning to face him. “He was a prisoner.” Darwin didn’t argue. Marcus entered the room carr

The screen glowed faintly in the dim room, casting long shadows across Fiona’s face. Project Eidolon. The name alone sent a chill down her spine, but it was the word underneath—Ascension—that twisted something deeper in her gut. It didn’t sound like a simple codename. It sounded like a goal. Darwin leaned forward, brows furrowed as he scanned the documents. “These blueprints... this isn’t just tech infrastructure. It’s neurological. Advanced AI integration. Cognitive manipulation.” Marcus tapped through a few files. “This is way beyond anything Morrigan was doing. It’s years ahead—synthetic brain mapping, emotion prediction modules, even something labeled neural override. I don’t even know what that means.” Fiona spoke slowly. “I think it means control.” There was a long silence. Thalassa entered, looking exhausted, her jacket dusted with snow. “Interpol traced the remaining off-grid assets from Morrigan’s empire. Guess where the trail leads?” Fiona braced herself. Thalassa dro

The halls of the international tribunal were filled with murmurs and media flashes as Morrigan Zayne was escorted through its arched gates in handcuffs, flanked by federal agents. Her posture was upright—chin lifted, spine stiff—but even Fiona could see the cracks beneath the surface. The queen of shadows was finally exposed, her empire in ruins, and her secrets unraveling under the scorching light of justice. Fiona watched from the observation deck above, arms folded as reporters barked questions into the void. Every news station across the globe was tuned into this historic moment. The collapse of the Echelon, the fall of its most enigmatic leader, and the brave few who had torn down its walls. “This almost feels… peaceful,” Fiona said quietly, her voice lost in the buzz of cameras below. Darwin stood beside her, hands in his pockets, his expression unreadable. “Peace never comes without cost.” She turned to glance at him. His bruises had faded, but his eyes still carried the s

The twin engines of the stealth chopper whined softly as it descended beyond the tree line, slicing through the early morning mist like a blade through gauze. Fiona sat strapped in, her fingers curled tightly around the straps across her chest, eyes trained on the satellite feed on the mounted screen in front of her. Davenport wasn’t just a fortress—it was a statement. Built along the edge of a mountainous ridge and shielded by state-of-the-art surveillance, it was the last stronghold of Morrigan’s influence, carved out in steel and secrets. It was also the place where everything had started—and where it would finally end. “We touch down in five,” the pilot’s voice crackled through the headset. “Insertion team, get ready.” Darwin checked the chamber of his pistol and clipped it into place. “Remember, we don’t get a second chance at this. Our window is narrow. Foster’s jet was seen landing fifteen hours ago. We don’t know how long he’ll stay.” “Or what Morrigan’s planning,” Thalass
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 170
The private jet cut across the sky like a silver dagger, slicing through clouds on its descent toward Ravenport. Below, dense forests stretched for miles, a thick, green blanket hiding Morrigan’s last stronghold. The landing strip, built discreetly behind a series of abandoned warehouses and guarded by a private militia, was the only visible clue that something significant lurked in these woods. Darwin, seated beside Fiona, stared out the window, his jaw tight. Beside him, Fiona adjusted her black tactical jacket, her eyes hollow with determination. They weren’t flying in with an army. This mission demanded stealth, precision, and a level of danger none of them had faced before. “This isn’t a rescue,” Fiona said quietly. “This is an extraction. We go in, pull what we need, and get out before Morrigan knows we were even there.” Darwin nodded. “We identify what Gabriel Foster is doing there. If he’s meeting Morrigan, we document it. If they’re planning something bigger, we expose it.
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 169
The early morning light filtered weakly through the grimy windows of the temporary hideout. Fiona sat with her hands wrapped around a steaming mug of black coffee, her eyes fixed on the faded map spread across the wooden table. Red and black ink dotted the surface, indicating strongholds, escape routes, and key players loyal to Morrigan. Each mark told a story of manipulation, violence, and the thin web of power Morrigan spun so precisely. But that web was fraying. Across the room, Darwin leaned over a tablet, reviewing the footage from the hotel. Sofia Laurent was still alive—barely—but she had been moved into protective custody under heavy security. Her one whispered word had shifted the tide. Morrigan had gone from shadowy threat to active executioner in the eyes of those still sitting on the fence. And that changed everything. "They tried to silence her," Fiona said softly, her voice tight. "They almost succeeded." Darwin looked up, his expression grim. "But she didn’t die. A
