Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 118
The aftermath of Vincent De Luca’s downfall left a strange quiet in its wake. The air was thick with smoke and the acrid scent of gunpowder. Fiona stood by the shattered balcony doors, staring down at the blood-slicked marble floor where De Luca had collapsed. Even in death, he had a smirk on his lips, as if mocking them from the grave. Around her, the mansion was in ruins—bodies of mercenaries sprawled across the floor, broken glass crunching under the boots of police officers swarming the estate. Their job was done. De Luca’s empire had fallen. But the weight pressing against Fiona’s chest told her it wasn’t over. Darwin stood beside her, silent, his breathing heavy. The adrenaline that had fueled them through the battle was fading, leaving behind only exhaustion and the dull ache of injuries. His suit was torn at the shoulder, blood—some his, some not—soaking the fabric. She turned to him. “It’s over,” she said, but even as she spoke the words, they felt hollow. Darwin let out

The city skyline was still shrouded in the dark hues of the early morning when Fiona stepped out onto the balcony of the safehouse. The cool breeze carried the distant hum of life, reminding her that the world outside continued, even after everything they had been through. Behind her, Darwin emerged, his silhouette outlined by the soft glow of the streetlights. He leaned against the railing, staring at the city in silence. “It feels… strange,” Fiona murmured. Darwin glanced at her. “What does?” “That it’s over.” A faint smirk crossed his lips, but there was exhaustion in his eyes. “It’s never really over, is it?” She exhaled slowly, gripping the railing. “William is gone. De Luca is gone. The people who tried to destroy us are either dead or in prison. It should feel like a victory.” “But?” “But it doesn’t feel real.” Darwin turned, resting his arms on the railing. “That’s because we’ve spent so long fighting. We don’t know what peace feels like anymore.” Fiona hat

A Moment of Peace Fiona had never known what true peace felt like. Even as she stood on the balcony of their new home, watching the sunrise over the city, a part of her still expected chaos to come crashing down. The air was crisp, the sky painted in soft shades of orange and pink, yet her muscles remained tense as if waiting for the inevitable storm. Darwin appeared behind her, his arms wrapping around her waist as he pressed a kiss to the side of her neck. His warmth seeped into her, grounding her in the present. “Couldn’t sleep?” She leaned into him, closing her eyes. “I think my body’s still adjusting. It feels strange to not be looking over my shoulder.” He chuckled, resting his chin on her shoulder. “You’ll get used to it.” She wasn’t so sure. For years, her survival had depended on being vigilant, on always staying one step ahead. Letting go of that instinct would take time. Darwin turned her to face him, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. “You’re safe now, F

A Life Rebuilt The early morning light filtered through the curtains, casting golden streaks across the bedroom. Fiona stirred, her body still adjusting to the rhythm of motherhood. She could hear the soft rustling of sheets beside her as Darwin shifted, already awake, watching their newborn daughter sleeping peacefully in the bassinet near their bed. She turned to him, voice hushed. “You’re staring again.” Darwin smirked but didn’t take his eyes off their child. “I can’t help it. She’s perfect.” Fiona sat up slowly, rubbing her eyes. “You’re going to spoil her at this rate.” He chuckled. “That’s the plan.” Their daughter let out a tiny yawn, her tiny fingers curling into fists before settling back into sleep. Fiona’s heart clenched at the sight. After everything they had endured—the betrayals, the battles, the endless fight for survival—they had reached this moment. A moment of quiet, of peace, of love. She leaned against Darwin, feeling his arm come around her shoulders. “Do

The Gathering Storm Fiona stood at the edge of the nursery, watching as Lilian slept peacefully. A warm glow from the nightlight cast soft shadows across the room, making everything feel surreal. She traced her fingers along the wooden crib, her mind clouded with the weight of Marcus’s warning. William Newton was dead. That much was certain. But the idea that someone was reviving his influence, moving in the shadows, and targeting them? That was a nightmare she thought they had left behind. Darwin entered the room, his footsteps silent. “You’re thinking too much again.” Fiona glanced over her shoulder. “How can I not?” He leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. “We knew it wouldn’t be this easy. A clean break was never in the cards.” She let out a slow breath, shaking her head. “I just wanted—just for once—for us to have a normal life.” Darwin approached, gently pulling her into his arms. “We will. But first, we finish this.” His words sent a familiar fire through her vei

A Dangerous Game Begins Fiona sat at the dining table, staring at the surveillance photo of Bella. It was nearly impossible to believe she had resurfaced, especially now. Darwin stood beside her, arms crossed, his jaw clenched. Marcus was across from them, tapping his fingers against the polished wood. “This changes everything,” Fiona muttered, rubbing her temples. Darwin’s voice was sharp. “Bella said to look close to home. That means someone inside the Atlas Group is involved.” Marcus nodded. “If Bella is working with them, she’s not just a pawn. She’s playing a key role. We need to find out who she’s aligning with.” Fiona exhaled. “And we need to find out before they make their next move.” Darwin turned to Marcus. “Do a full sweep. Look into the board, top executives—anyone with even a remote connection to William.” Marcus grabbed his laptop and began typing. “Already on it.” Fiona studied the photograph again. Bella wasn’t working alone. If she had resurfaced, it meant so

Unmasking the Enemy Fiona sat in the dimly lit study, her hands clenched around the edges of a printed report. The words blurred together, but the name on the page was unmistakable—Edward Sinclair. Darwin paced beside her, his expression unreadable. His hands were in his pockets, but the tension in his posture spoke volumes. Across the room, Marcus was pulling up more files on his laptop, his fingers moving with precise urgency. “This doesn’t make sense,” Fiona muttered, shaking her head. “Edward Sinclair has been with Atlas Group for over two decades. He’s been loyal—” Darwin scoffed. “We overestimated his loyalty.” Marcus didn’t look up as he responded. “I’ve traced several shell companies back to him. Offshore accounts, hidden transactions—he’s been moving money around for years, covering his tracks.” Fiona’s stomach twisted. “So, he wasn’t just working with William. He was working against us the entire time.” Darwin exhaled, rubbing his temple. “He was William’s backup pla

Fiona gripped the armrest of the leather chair, her breath shallow as she listened to the news anchor continue. "Darwin Solomon, CEO of Atlas Group, is now facing criminal charges related to financial fraud and conspiracy. Authorities have reportedly obtained new evidence linking him to offshore accounts and insider trading—" Darwin shut off the screen with a harsh click, his jaw clenched. “Sinclair didn’t waste any time.” Marcus, still breathless from rushing in, ran a hand through his hair. “He was waiting for this moment. The charges are bogus, but public perception is already shifting.” Fiona turned to Darwin, searching his face for any flicker of doubt. There was none. “We’re not just fighting for the company anymore,” she said quietly. “He’s trying to take you down personally.” Darwin exhaled through his nose, rolling his sleeves up. “Then we take the fight to him.” Fiona crossed her arms. “We need to dismantle his leverage piece by piece. First, we prove the charges are

The morning dawned with an eerie stillness as if the city itself was holding its breath. Fiona stood at the window of their temporary hideout, watching the street below. The sky was overcast, and the light that filtered through the clouds cast everything in a muted, gray tone. It suited her mood. Today wasn’t a day for joy. It was a day for war. Behind her, the room buzzed with movement. Marcus was finishing up a secure line to their new contact in Interpol. Thalassa sat on the floor with maps and surveillance photos spread out around her like a war general preparing for battle. Darwin, quiet and intense, leaned against the wall near the door, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. "We’re ready," Marcus finally said, looking up. "The servers have been rigged to release everything if Morrigan tries to interfere with the next stage. Interpol agreed to act once we handed over the package. We just need the final proof—the nail in the coffin." Fiona nodded. "That’s what tonight is for

The morning air was thick with tension as Fiona stood by the window, staring at the gray skyline. Her reflection was barely visible in the glass, ghostlike and distant. It had been hours since Sofia's attempted assassination. The journalist was still in critical condition, but alive. Barely. Darwin entered the room quietly, a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. He didn’t speak, just handed her the cup and joined her by the window. “She’s holding on,” he said finally. Fiona nodded. “But for how long?” “She gave us a name. That’s more than most people get before they’re silenced.” “Not good enough.” Fiona turned, her voice sharp. “We need to push harder, faster. Morrigan’s not going to slow down.” Darwin didn’t argue. He knew she was right. Thalassa entered with Marcus trailing behind, a tablet in hand. “We have something,” Marcus announced. “Sofia’s notes—we decrypted some of her files. She was onto a major asset transfer. Morrigan’s been funneling funds to offshore accounts und
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 166
The sound of shattering glass echoed through Fiona's memory as she stood in the aftermath of the failed hit on Sofia Laurent. The journalist was still alive, barely, but the attack had escalated the war Morrigan was waging from the shadows. They couldn’t wait any longer. Back at the safe house, the atmosphere was volatile. Darwin paced the room, fists clenched, his jaw tight. Thalassa sat with a map spread across the table, a red marker in her hand, circling key locations tied to Morrigan’s operations. Marcus stood by the window, phone pressed to his ear, coordinating with allies they had been reluctant to involve until now. Fiona broke the silence. “We hit her back. Not just financially. We go after the people that keep her afloat.” Darwin stopped pacing, turning to her. “You’re talking about dismantling her infrastructure.” “Exactly,” Fiona said. “She wants to destroy everything we care about. It’s time we show her we can do the same.” Thalassa nodded. “I’ve been mapping out h
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 165
The weight of Sofia’s whispered word—Morrigan—hung heavy in the air. Fiona’s knuckles were white as she clenched her fists, her pulse hammering in her ears. Beside her, Darwin stood rigid, his expression carved from stone. The sight of the journalist, barely clinging to life on that stretcher, was a brutal confirmation that Morrigan had escalated the war. This was no longer a battle fought in the shadows. This was all-out warfare. “We need to move,” Fiona said, her voice tight with anger. Darwin nodded. “Agreed. We’re done playing defense.” Thalassa touched Fiona’s arm, her normally smug expression replaced by something dangerously sharp. “Sofia’s not dead yet. That means we still have a chance to get information from her. But if Morrigan wants her gone, she’ll send someone to finish the job.” “Then we keep her alive,” Fiona said. “We make sure she wakes up, and when she does, we find out everything she knows.” Marcus was already tapping away at his laptop, pulling security foota
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 164
The night air was thick with tension as Fiona and Darwin left the hotel, their minds racing with what had just happened. Sofia Laurent was barely clinging to life, a direct victim of Morrigan’s retaliation. It was the wake-up call they needed. They could not afford to stay on the defensive any longer. “We need to retaliate now,” Fiona said, her voice firm. “No more waiting for her to make the next move.” Darwin nodded. “Agreed. We hit her where it hurts.” Thalassa, who had been quiet since they arrived at the scene, finally spoke. “We need to dismantle her network from the inside. Gabriel Foster is the key. If he’s funding her, we cut him off.” Marcus tapped away on his laptop. “I’ve been tracking Foster’s accounts. He’s got shell companies moving money for Morrigan. If we expose them, we can freeze her assets.” Fiona smirked. “Then let’s make sure she has nothing left to fight with.” --- The team split up, each with a critical role to play. Marcus and Thalassa would continue
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 163
The silence in the safe house was deceptive. It wasn’t the calm of victory, but the pause before a storm. Fiona sat at the edge of the couch, her mind racing. The operation had been a success—they had struck a critical blow to Morrigan’s media empire. Yet, she knew this wasn’t the end. Morrigan wouldn’t take the attack lying down. Darwin stood by the window, his phone in hand. He had been monitoring news reports since their escape. The hack was making waves. Several major outlets had already begun reporting inconsistencies in Morrigan’s financial records, questioning her sudden rise to power. It was the beginning of the unraveling they had planned. “She’s going to retaliate,” Fiona muttered, her voice barely above a whisper. Darwin turned to her, his eyes dark with thought. “She’ll come at us hard. She won’t just defend herself—she’ll want to destroy us.” Thalassa smirked from across the room, leaning against the wall with her arms crossed. “Good. Let her come. We’ve been on the
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 162
The hum of the hotel elevator was almost deafening as Fiona and Darwin descended from the upper floors, where Morrigan had just issued her chilling warning. The once pristine and composed atmosphere of the meeting had quickly turned sour, leaving them with more questions than answers. Fiona's mind raced, her thoughts heavy with the implications of Morrigan’s offer. "She’s playing us," Darwin said quietly, his voice steady but tinged with an edge of frustration. "She wants us to make a choice—her side, or continue fighting against her. But it’s all a manipulation. She knows how to push our buttons." Fiona nodded, though the uncertainty gnawed at her. She couldn’t shake the feeling that Morrigan was holding something back—some crucial piece of the puzzle that could give her the upper hand. Fiona was used to being in control and manipulating situations to her advantage. But Morrigan? She was an entirely different animal. "She won’t stop," Fiona said, her voice firm. "She’s trying to
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 161
The safe house was buzzing with activity. The team was fully aware of the dangers that lay ahead, but there was a new edge to their determination—one fueled by the need to outsmart Morrigan at her own game. Fiona stood at the front of the room, flipping through the dossier Marcus had compiled on the latest developments. The intel was invaluable, but it felt like every time they thought they had a grasp on the situation, Morrigan would shift, making the ground beneath them unstable. "You heard her right?" Fiona's voice cut through the low murmurs of the team. "She wants a meeting. And we can’t ignore the implications of that." Darwin was at the map pinned to the wall, tracing the routes they’d use to escape if things went wrong. He turned toward Fiona, his face tight with resolve. "Morrigan doesn’t do anything without purpose. This isn’t just a negotiation—it’s a trap. She wants us to think we have a choice in the matter." Thalassa was examining the blueprint of a luxury hotel in G
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 160
The silence in the safe house felt different now—heavier, more suffocating. After their daring mission in Zurich, the team had returned, expecting some form of reprieve. Instead, the weight of their actions pressed on them. Fiona sat on the edge of the couch, her fingers idly tapping her phone, eyes flickering over the reports Marcus had sent. The glow of the screen only illuminated the exhaustion that had settled in her bones. Darwin paced the room, his thoughts elsewhere. He ran his hand through his hair, each step heavy with the knowledge of what was coming. The clock on the wall ticked louder in the quiet room, every second passing with unbearable tension. "We’ve hit her, but we haven’t broken her," Fiona muttered, more to herself than to anyone else. Darwin stopped pacing, turning toward her. "I know," he replied. "But we’re getting closer. That’s what matters." Marcus was at his laptop, the blue light from the screen illuminating his face as he sifted through data. "Morriga
