Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 119
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

A Threat in the Dark Darwin’s fingers curled around his phone, the weight of the message settling in his chest like a stone. "You should’ve walked away. Now, you’ve left me no choice." Fiona read it again, her breath steady but her pulse racing. “He’s desperate.” Darwin’s gaze darkened. “That makes him more dangerous.” Marcus stepped onto the balcony, his laptop under his arm. “We have another problem.” Fiona turned sharply. “What now?” Marcus handed Darwin the screen. A new report had surfaced online, painting Fiona as the mastermind behind a financial scheme—one that supposedly implicated Darwin. She exhaled sharply. “He’s trying to discredit me now?” Darwin’s jaw tightened. “He wants to divide us.” Marcus nodded. “He’s playing a psychological game. If he can make you turn on each other, he wins.” Fiona squared her shoulders. “Then we don’t give him that chance.” Darwin’s lips twitched in the ghost of a smirk. “Agreed.” By morning, Fiona was in front of cameras again,

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.

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

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 167
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
