Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 106
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

A Dangerous Game The dim glow of the safe house only working lamp cast long shadows across the room. Fiona, Darwin, Marcus, Thalassa, and Lennox stood around a makeshift war table, studying the blueprints Marcus had pulled up on his tablet. Nathan Greaves’ hideout was a fortress—multiple entry points, but all heavily guarded. Surveillance cameras covered every inch of the perimeter. Armed men patrolled the docks where Greaves ran his operations, smuggling weapons and laundering money. This wasn’t just about revenge anymore; Greaves was rebuilding his empire. And they had to stop him before it was too late. Darwin tapped a section of the map. “Here. This alleyway behind the warehouse is a blind spot. It’s our way in.” Thalassa leaned over, examining it. “That gets us close, but what about the security detail?” Lennox cracked his knuckles. “I still have a few contacts who aren’t loyal to Greaves. If we create enough of a distraction, some of his men might back off.” Marcus smirk

The warehouse was eerily silent, the acrid scent of gunpowder still thick in the air. Fiona’s shoulder throbbed, warm blood seeping through her shirt. Each pulse of pain reminded her of how close she’d come to death—again. But she forced herself to stay upright, blinking away the dizziness threatening to pull her under. She had to focus. They weren’t safe yet. Darwin’s hands were steady as he pressed a piece of fabric against her wound, his expression tight with barely restrained worry. “We need to stop the bleeding.” His voice was calm, but she could see the tension in his jaw, the unspoken fear in his eyes. “I’m fine,” she muttered, though the pain begged to differ. Thalassa crouched beside them, tearing a strip of cloth from her sleeve. “Hold still.” She worked quickly, tying the makeshift bandage around Fiona’s shoulder. “That’ll hold for now, but you’re going to need stitches. And maybe a blood transfusion if you keep bleeding like this.” Fiona smirked weakly. “What, no bat

Drifting Between Uncertainty The sea stretched endlessly before them, a vast expanse of darkness interrupted only by the occasional glimmer of moonlight on the water. The rhythmic hum of the boat’s engine filled the silence, steady but fragile—like the moment itself. Fiona leaned back against the side of the boat, her body aching from exhaustion and injury. The adrenaline that had kept her moving was finally wearing off, leaving behind a sharp, pulsing pain in her shoulder. But she wasn’t the only one feeling the weight of the night. Darwin sat nearby, his fingers curled tightly around the railing as he stared into the distance. His jaw was locked, his expression unreadable. She nudged him lightly with her good arm. “You’re thinking too hard.” His lips twitched, but his gaze remained fixed ahead. “We should have been more prepared.” Fiona sighed, tilting her head back. “We survived, didn’t we?” “That’s not enough.” His voice was quiet but firm. “Surviving means the fight isn’t

A Fractured DawnThe morning light barely broke through the dense canopy surrounding the cabin. The air was thick with the scent of damp earth and salt, a reminder that the ocean wasn’t far behind them. Birds chirped lazily, oblivious to the tension gripping the small group inside the hideout.Fiona sat by the small wooden table, absentmindedly rolling a bullet between her fingers. Her shoulder still ached, but it was a dull throb now, nothing she couldn’t handle. Sleep had been fleeting, filled with half-formed nightmares of Greaves, gunfire, and betrayal. But she was still here. They all were.Across from her, Darwin sipped black coffee, his gaze distant. His fingers drummed lightly against the ceramic mug, the only outward sign of his restlessness.“Thinking about what comes next?” she asked, breaking the silence.He exhaled sharply. “That's all I can think about.”Marcus entered the room, carrying a folder he must have retrieved from his duffel bag. He set it on the table with a h

Under FireFiona’s breath came in sharp gasps as she ducked behind an overturned table, shards of glass crunching beneath her heels. The club was a battleground now—screams, gunfire, and the panicked scramble of elites fleeing for their lives filled the air.Thalassa crouched beside her, gun in hand. “We need an exit. Now.”Fiona peeked over the edge of their cover. Langley’s men were closing in, their weapons drawn, their eyes scanning the chaos. Langley himself hadn’t moved from his booth, watching them like a cat playing with its food.She tapped her earpiece. “Darwin, tell me you’ve got a plan.”His voice came sharp and clear. “Lennox and Marcus are heading to the back entrance. I’m pulling the car around. Get to the alley.”Easier said than done.Thalassa fired a shot, hitting one of the approaching guards in the leg. He collapsed with a grunt, but more were coming. Fiona grabbed a fallen champagne bucket and hurled it toward the nearest light fixture. The bulb exploded, casting

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
