Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 133
The Price of Victory Fiona kept her grip firm on Harrison Vaughn’s collar, her heart still hammering from the chaos that had erupted around them. The gunfire had faded, replaced by the groans of fallen guards and the distant wail of sirens—Marcus had called for backup. Darwin approached, his gun still raised, his face carved from stone. “It’s over, Vaughn.” Vaughn chuckled, unfazed. “You think a few files and some dead men make a difference? You don’t understand the world you’re trying to fight.” Fiona’s fingers curled tighter into his suit. “Then explain it to us.” Vaughn exhaled sharply, his confidence unwavering. “Power doesn’t die, Ms. Woods. It shifts. I may fall, but another will rise. You and Solomon? You’ve merely disrupted the ecosystem. The real players—” He smirked. “They’ll come for you.” A cold chill ran through Fiona’s spine, but she refused to let him shake her. “Then we’ll take them down too.” Vaughn’s lips curled in amusement. “We’ll see.” A loud explosion sh

Fiona stood frozen as the realization settled in. Isabelle Vaughn. A name she had barely registered before—just a whisper in the background of her fight against Harrison Vaughn. Now, that name felt like a ticking bomb, ready to explode. Darwin’s jaw clenched as he scanned the data on Marcus’s tablet. “She’s been moving money into offshore accounts for the last two hours. Massive amounts.” Thalassa ran a hand through her hair. “Which means she’s not just running. She’s preparing.” Fiona’s stomach twisted. They had thought Vaughn was the final battle, but the truth was worse—he had only been the beginning. She turned back toward the police van. Vaughn still sat there, restrained but composed, his lips curled in amusement. Their victory had been orchestrated. Fiona took a step forward, her blood boiling. “He let us win.” Darwin’s expression was unreadable, but his grip on the tablet tightened. “We underestimated him.” Marcus cursed under his breath. “If Isabelle Vaughn is in pl

A Race Against Time The engines hummed beneath them as their private jet cut through the night sky. The dim cabin lights cast long shadows, amplifying the tension that clung to the air like static electricity. Fiona sat by the window, staring at the city lights shrinking beneath them. She had barely processed everything that had happened in the past few hours. Harrison Vaughn was behind bars, yet the war was far from over. Isabelle Vaughn wasn’t just a loose end—she was a snake poised to strike. Darwin sat beside her, his fingers lightly tapping against his knee in a steady rhythm. His mind was elsewhere, running through countless scenarios. Marcus and Thalassa sat across from them, both locked onto their laptops, scouring data. “We need to assume she’s already one step ahead,” Marcus muttered without looking up from his screen. “She’s not running scared. She’s making calculated moves.” Fiona tore her gaze away from the window. “Then we have to think like her. What’s in Dubai th

The Stakes Are Raised The air in the penthouse was thick with tension as Fiona, Thalassa, and Marcus returned from their meeting with Montoya. Darwin was already waiting, his arms crossed as he leaned against the counter. His sharp gaze flicked to Fiona the moment she stepped in. "Tell me we have something useful," he said, pushing off the counter. Fiona exhaled, shrugging off her jacket. "Montoya isn’t fully on Isabelle’s side. He’s loyal to power, not people. If he sees her sinking, he’ll jump ship." Thalassa sat on the couch, kicking off her heels. "The good news is, we planted doubt. The bad news? Isabelle’s men showed up at the club. They were watching him—or us." Darwin’s jaw tightened. "She knows we’re here." Marcus was already at his laptop, typing furiously. "She’s on the move. I just intercepted a new security clearance request at the Burj Al Arab. She’s increasing protection, which means she’s feeling the pressure." Fiona ran a hand through her hair. "Then w

The sound of the waves crashing against the dock filled the silence as the police car carrying Isabelle disappeared into the night. Fiona’s heart was still pounding from the confrontation, but she exhaled deeply, forcing herself to steady her breath. Darwin’s arm remained wrapped around her waist, his grip firm yet reassuring. He wasn’t just holding her—he was anchoring her. Marcus’s voice crackled through the earpiece. "Well, that was dramatic." Thalassa chuckled. "And satisfying. Isabelle’s reign is officially over." Fiona ran a hand through her hair. "It’s not over yet." Darwin glanced at her, brow furrowing. "What do you mean?" She turned toward him, her eyes dark with realization. "Isabelle was desperate, but she wasn’t reckless. She had an escape plan, and she was still confident even when she was caught. That means there’s something we don’t know." Darwin’s jaw tightened. "A backup plan." Marcus cursed. "Damn it. We need to figure out what it is." Thalassa’s voice was

The black SUVs closed in on the police transport, their engines roaring as they attempted to force the armored vehicle off the road. From their car, Fiona could see the flashing emergency lights ahead, warning of the imminent attack. Marcus’s voice crackled through the comms. "They’re jamming police frequencies. If we don’t move now, they’ll take out the transport before backup even realizes what’s happening." Darwin’s grip on the wheel tightened. "Hold on." With a swift jerk, he cut across the median, tires screeching as their vehicle veered into the pursuit. Thalassa already had her gun in hand, rolling down the window. "Let’s introduce ourselves," she said, before firing a warning shot at the SUV closest to Isabelle’s transport. The bullet shattered the side mirror, forcing the driver to swerve. But the other two vehicles didn’t hesitate. They accelerated, one of them ramming hard into the side of the police transport. Fiona’s heart pounded. "They’re trying to flip it!" Dar

The air inside the safe house felt suffocating. Fiona sat at the table, her fingers drumming against the wooden surface as Marcus and Thalassa worked through endless data streams. The glow of multiple screens cast eerie shadows across their faces, but the silence was deafening. Darwin stood near the window, arms crossed, his face unreadable. Every so often, his gaze flickered toward Fiona, but she remained focused. They all knew what was at stake now. The Black Lotus wasn’t just an organization—it was a movement, a shadow network of powerful figures who had thrived on corruption and chaos for decades. Isabelle Vaughn had been nothing more than a pawn, and her failure had put a target on all their backs. Marcus cursed under his breath. "They’re scrubbing everything." Fiona frowned. "What do you mean?" He turned his laptop toward her. "Every trace of Lucian, every connection Isabelle had to The Black Lotus—it’s disappearing. Entire financial transactions are being wiped out. It’s

The weight of their narrow escape still hung in the air, but there was no time to breathe. Fiona sat at the center of the safe house’s living room, gripping her hands tightly. The faint hum of city life outside felt distant, unreal. Thalassa, Marcus, and Darwin surrounded her, each one processing the night's events in their way. Marcus slammed his laptop shut. "We lost our advantage." Thalassa, still catching her breath, leaned against the wall. "No. We lost a battle. The war is just beginning." Darwin, pacing near the window, glanced at Fiona. "Lucian let us go on purpose. He wants us to be afraid. We need to figure out why." Fiona swallowed hard. "Because he doesn’t see us as a real threat yet." Silence. Marcus exhaled, rubbing his temples. "Then we make him see us." Fiona met Darwin’s gaze. "We have to hit back, and we have to do it now." Darwin nodded, determination sharpening his features. "Agreed. But first, we need leverage." Marcus opened his laptop again. "We don’t

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 168
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
