Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 124
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,

Darwin stood in his office, looking out at the city skyline. It felt different now—lighter, freer. The shadow of Edward Sinclair had finally lifted, and with it, the weight of constant battle. Behind him, Fiona leaned against his desk, flipping through the morning newspaper. The headlines told the story of Sinclair’s downfall. “EXPOSED: Edward Sinclair’s Empire Crumbles Amid Corruption Scandal.” “Atlas Group Emerges Stronger—Darwin Solomon and Fiona Woods Take a Stand.” “Arrest Warrant Issued for Disgraced Billionaire.” She set the paper down. “Feels surreal, doesn’t it?” Darwin turned, his gaze softening as it landed on her. “We spent so long fighting… It’s strange not having an immediate enemy.” Fiona smirked. “You could always pick a fight with someone else.” He chuckled, stepping closer. “I think I’d rather enjoy the peace… for now.” She raised an eyebrow. “For now?” Darwin’s smirk deepened. “Let’s be honest, we’re not exactly made for quiet lives.” Fiona sighed dramati

Fiona stared at the encrypted message on Marcus’s phone, her heart pounding. Elias Blackwell. A man whispered about in elite circles. A ghost in the business world. A name Darwin had once mentioned in passing, buried deep in Atlas Group’s history. Now, he had surfaced—and he had set his sights on them. Darwin clenched his jaw, rereading the message. “He’s not just threatening us. He’s warning us.” Marcus let out a low whistle. “Warning you to do what? Back off? He must not know who he’s dealing with.” Fiona exhaled sharply. “If he’s the one who backed Sinclair, then we were never fighting Sinclair alone. We were fighting his master.” Darwin locked eyes with her. “Which means Sinclair’s fall didn’t end this war—it just shifted the battlefield.” Fiona sat down, running a hand through her hair. “We need to know everything about Blackwell. If he’s reaching out, it means he has plans. And if we’re not careful, we’ll be playing right into them.” Marcus was already typing furiously o

A Dangerous Move The city lights flickered beyond Atlas Group’s towering windows, but inside the boardroom, a storm was brewing. Fiona leaned over the sleek table, scanning the intelligence Marcus had pulled together. Every document, every connection—it all led back to Elias Blackwell’s empire. Darwin sat beside her, tension in his jaw. “If we hit his offshore accounts, he’ll come at us harder.” Fiona exhaled. “He already declared war. The only way we win is if we make the first real strike.” Marcus tapped his laptop screen. “Blackwell has at least four major accounts spread across different tax havens—one in the Caymans, another in Switzerland, and two more in Singapore and Dubai. But there’s a weakness.” Darwin narrowed his eyes. “Where?” Marcus smirked. “The Swiss account. It’s tied to an old corporate trust registered under Sinclair’s name. Now that Sinclair’s gone, that trust is vulnerable.” Fiona caught on quickly. “If we take that, we’re not just draining him—we’re prov

A Dangerous Revelation Fiona stood in the dimly lit office, staring at the city skyline. The war with Elias Blackwell had taken a dangerous turn, and now, they were one step away from either victory—or destruction. Darwin entered quietly, his face tense. “The board is restless. Some of them are questioning if we should just cut our losses.” Fiona turned to him, fire in her eyes. “We’re too deep in this, Darwin. If we stop now, Blackwell wins. He’s trying to break us, and if we give in, it’s over.” Darwin exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “I know. But we need something big to take him down. He just leaked our finances. He’s turning the media against us. The next move has to be game-changing.” Thalassa walked in, her expression unreadable. “Then it’s a good thing I found something.” She tossed a folder onto the desk. Fiona picked it up, flipping through the pages. What she saw made her breath hitch. Darwin leaned over. “What is this?” Thalassa smirked. “Proof.” Inside

A City in Shock The aftermath of Elias Blackwell’s downfall rippled through the city like a storm. News outlets ran continuous coverage of his crimes, his illegal dealings, and the shocking final confrontation at Atlas Group’s headquarters. The world had watched as one of the most powerful men in the industry fell overnight. His company collapsed, his allies abandoned him, and law enforcement wasted no time dismantling every last remnant of his empire. But for Fiona, Darwin, and their team, the war wasn’t over yet. Unfinished Business Fiona sat at the hospital bedside of Marcus, who had taken a bullet during the final battle. He had been lucky—the wound wasn’t fatal, but it had come dangerously close. Thalassa sat beside her, arms crossed, her usual confidence replaced with quiet exhaustion. “He’s going to be okay,” Fiona assured her, though her own voice sounded uncertain. Thalassa sighed. “I know. But this shouldn’t have happened. We should have seen Blackwell’s final move

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

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
