Chapter 14: Echoes in the DarkThe night felt heavier, each shadow cast by the dim streetlights seeming to pulse with unseen threats. Fiona watched Darwin examine her phone, his jaw set and his eyes cold with focus. The device in his hand beeped, the sound cutting through the stillness of the deserted parking lot like a blade.“There,” Darwin said, holding up the phone. “A tracking software embedded in your GPS.”Fiona’s heart sank. “How did they even manage that? I’ve been careful.”“Not careful enough,” Darwin replied, his tone sharper than he intended. He sighed and softened. “It’s not your fault. They’ve probably been watching you for months, planting this the moment they saw an opportunity.”The thought sent a chill through her. William Newton’s reach seemed limitless, and the idea that he had been surveilling her so intimately left her feeling exposed. She wrapped her arms around herself, seeking comfort where there was none.Darwin took a moment to disable the tracking software

The following day, the safe house was cloaked in an unsettling quiet, as though the world outside didn’t exist. Fiona awoke to the sound of birds chirping faintly beyond the high walls, a stark contrast to the chaos that had engulfed her life. For a moment, she allowed herself to imagine what normalcy might feel like—a life free from fear, secrets, and the weight of Darwin Solomon’s world.But reality intruded swiftly.She found Darwin in the kitchen, poring over documents spread across the granite countertop. His brow furrowed as his fingers tapped absently on the table. He looked like a man on the brink of war—focused, calculating, and deadly.“Morning,” she said, her voice breaking the silence.Darwin glanced up, his expression softening ever so slightly. “Morning. Did you sleep?”“Not much,” Fiona admitted, pouring herself a glass of water. “It’s hard to rest when you’re wondering what’s going to happen next.”Darwin nodded. “We’ll make our move soon. I just need to finish tying u

The gunshot echoed like a thunderclap, reverberating through the still night air. Fiona's heart leaped into her throat as she pressed her hands against the cool glass of the plane's window. Her eyes widened in horror as she saw Darwin still standing, his gun aimed steadily, smoke curling from its barrel. One of the men who had approached him now lay on the ground, motionless.The second man hesitated, his weapon still drawn but his posture uncertain. Darwin advanced, his movements precise, his voice low and commanding. Fiona couldn’t make out the words, but the other man faltered, lowering his gun slightly.The engines of the plane roared to life, jolting Fiona from her frozen state. The pilot turned to her, his expression grim.“We can’t wait much longer,” he said. “If we stay, we’ll be sitting ducks.”Fiona’s stomach churned with dread. She looked back out the window just in time to see Darwin swing his fist, disarming the second man in a swift, brutal motion. The weapon clattered t

The following morning, sunlight spilled across the pristine lake, casting shimmering reflections on the surface. The estate seemed untouched by the chaos that had consumed their lives, offering a deceptive calm. Fiona sat by the large bay window in her room, sipping tea and watching the ripples of water dance in the gentle breeze. It was beautiful, serene even, but the weight in her chest refused to ease.She couldn’t remember the last time she felt safe.Downstairs, Darwin was on the phone, his tone curt and commanding. Fiona could hear snippets of the conversation, the name “William” punctuating the air like a drumbeat. He had been on edge since they arrived, pacing the house, checking the estate’s security system, and making calls to his network.Fiona knew he was trying to protect her, but the distance between them felt like an ever-widening chasm.---By midday, Darwin approached her in the kitchen, his expression unreadable. He placed a small folder on the counter.“What’s this?

The estate had begun to feel like a sanctuary, its serene surroundings offering Fiona and Darwin a fragile sense of peace. But beneath the surface of that calm lay an undercurrent of tension. Every passing hour was a reminder that their enemies were out there, plotting their next move.Darwin had spent the morning locked in his study, pouring over documents and strategizing with his team. Fiona, meanwhile, tried to busy herself around the house, but her mind was a storm of thoughts. She couldn’t shake the feeling that their safe haven was only temporary, that danger was just around the corner.By mid-afternoon, she decided to confront Darwin.Knocking lightly on the study door, she stepped inside to find him standing by the window, his phone pressed to his ear. He ended the call quickly when he saw her, his expression softening.“Everything okay?” he asked.Fiona crossed her arms, leaning against the doorframe. “I was about to ask you the same thing. You’ve been in here all day.”Darw

Fiona’s body went rigid with fear as the cold hand covered her mouth. Her heart pounded violently in her chest, her breath trapped in her throat.The voice in her ear was low and rough. “Don’t fight, and I won’t hurt you.”Instinctively, Fiona tried to pull away, but the grip tightened, making her freeze in place. Her mind raced, searching for a way out. Whoever this was, they had gotten into the estate despite the heavy security. That alone was terrifying.The shadowed figure began to drag her backward, deeper into the darkened hallway. Fiona’s bare feet scraped against the floor, her pulse thundering in her ears.“Stay quiet,” the intruder warned. “I just want to talk.”But Fiona wasn’t about to let herself be taken without a fight. Summoning every ounce of courage, she stomped down hard on the person’s foot. The move startled him enough that his grip loosened, and she wrenched herself free, spinning around to face him.The dim light from a nearby sconce revealed a man in dark cloth

The chilling message carved into the tree left Fiona and Darwin on edge. The implication was clear—William and Bella weren’t just scheming; they were closing in. Despite the heightened security and precautions, the threat felt omnipresent, like a shadow following Fiona’s every step.Darwin stood by the window that night, his silhouette illuminated by the soft glow of the estate lights. Fiona watched him from the bed, her heart heavy with anxiety.“You don’t have to stay up all night,” she said softly, her voice cutting through the silence.Darwin turned, his expression unreadable. “I can’t rest knowing you’re in danger.”His words, though simple, struck a chord in Fiona. For all his cold exterior and calculated decisions, Darwin’s actions revealed the depth of his care.“I don’t want you to carry this burden alone,” Fiona replied.Darwin walked over and sat beside her, his shoulders tense. “This isn’t just about me, Fiona. They’re targeting you because they think you’re my weakness. T

Darwin wasted no time. The moment the ominous note reached his hands, he signaled Claire, who was stationed discreetly in the ballroom. With a nod, she began mobilizing her team, each member expertly blending into the crowd as they scanned for any unusual activity.Fiona clung to Darwin’s arm, her breathing shallow. The threat now felt tangible, as if the walls of the grand ballroom were closing in. Her eyes darted to every face, searching for a sign of malice or recognition, but all she saw were masks of politeness and pretense.“What do we do now?” she whispered.Darwin didn’t answer immediately. His gaze was fixed on the stage where William stood, chatting with an influential business mogul. The man’s smug smile was enough to ignite a fire in Darwin’s chest, but he forced himself to remain composed.“We’re leaving,” Darwin said at last, his tone clipped. “This isn’t about playing their game anymore. It’s about staying ahead of it.”Fiona hesitated. “But if we leave now, won’t it lo

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

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

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 159
The silence in the safe house was thick with tension. The confrontation with Morrigan had left more questions than answers, and Fiona couldn’t shake the feeling that they had walked straight into a carefully laid trap. Her words echoed in Fiona’s mind—The question is, what will you do with that power? Darwin stood near the window, watching the Parisian skyline as if it held the answers they sought. His jaw was clenched, the weight of their predicament pressing down on him. Outside, the city buzzed with life, oblivious to the war being waged in the shadows. “She wasn’t just testing us,” Thalassa said, breaking the silence. “She was studying us. Measuring our reactions.” “And she knows we won’t back down,” Fiona added, crossing her arms. “Which means we just painted a target on our backs.” Marcus exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples. “Morrigan isn’t playing by the same rules as Lucian or William. She’s not after domination—she wants control but on a different scale.” “Which makes h
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 158
The tension in the safe house was thick, an unspoken weight pressing down on them as they absorbed the implications of their meeting with Morrigan. The woman was unlike any adversary they had faced before—calculated, controlled, and entirely unshaken. She hadn’t threatened them outright, but her words had carried a far more insidious warning: they were playing a game much bigger than they had realized, and she had just invited them to the next level. Fiona ran a hand through her hair, pacing near the window. “She knew exactly how to find us, how to draw us in. That means we’ve already underestimated her.” Darwin leaned against the table, arms crossed. “She wants us to believe we have a choice. That we can either join her or become casualties.” “She’s right about one thing,” Thalassa murmured from her seat in the corner. “Lucian’s fall left a power vacuum. And it’s naive to think it would just disappear.” Marcus, who had been silent until now, looked up from his laptop. “She’s als
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 157
The chill of the Parisian night clung to Fiona as she and Darwin exited the airstrip. The conversation with their informant had left them with more questions than answers. Morrigan—an enigma wrapped in shadows, with tendrils reaching into the remnants of Lucian’s empire. If they wanted to bring the fight to their enemy, they had to find the puppet master before the strings tightened around their throats. Back at the safe house, Marcus had been busy. “I traced another transaction,” he announced as they entered. His fingers danced across the keyboard, pulling up several encrypted files. “This shell company isn’t just funding private security firms. It’s also making direct payments to political figures in three different countries.” Fiona leaned over his shoulder, studying the screen. “Someone is buying influence.” “Not just influence,” Thalassa interjected, arms crossed. “They’re rebuilding Lucian’s control network. These politicians were in his pocket. If Morrigan is keeping them f
