Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 14
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 Ravenport compound burned in the distance, thick black smoke curling into the night sky like a dark omen. Sirens wailed from far off, but they wouldn’t arrive in time. Morrigan’s empire—fortified with secrets, silenced voices, and betrayal—was falling. And Fiona stood at the edge of the cliff overlooking it all, wind tangling her hair, eyes unblinking.Darwin limped to her side, blood soaking through the sleeve of his jacket. He glanced at the burning facility below and then at Fiona. "We did it," he said.Fiona’s jaw clenched. "Not yet. Morrigan’s still out there."From the moment they entered Ravenport, they knew they were walking into a trap. Morrigan had prepared for their arrival, planting explosives along the perimeter and stationing loyal guards disguised as medics and engineers. But what she hadn’t counted on was Sofia regaining consciousness and feeding them a map—hand-drawn, shaky, but enough.Inside the compound, Thalassa and Marcus were still securing the data vault. T
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 176
The morning after their quiet moment on the balcony, Fiona woke to the distant hum of tension that had become all too familiar. The events of the previous night—the confrontation, the narrow escape from the stronghold—still weighed heavily on her mind. Yet, there was something more pressing now. Their next move, the one that would finally bring them face-to-face with Morrigan, loomed like an unspoken promise. The safe house, typically a place of refuge, now felt like a pressure cooker. Fiona paced the length of the room, her thoughts a whirlwind of strategies and concerns. They had been living on borrowed time for too long. Morrigan had always been one step ahead, controlling the narrative, pulling the strings from the shadows. But now the game has changed. And Fiona wasn’t about to let it slip through their fingers. Darwin’s voice, calm and steady as always, broke the silence. "We need to discuss our next steps." His presence was like an anchor in the storm that raged within her.
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 175
The night was thick with silence, but beneath it, an unsettling buzz hummed in Fiona's chest. She stood on the balcony of their temporary hideout, her hands gripping the iron railing as if the pressure could somehow steady her racing thoughts. The city sprawled beneath her like a sleeping beast, the lights flickering like distant stars. It was hard to believe that just hours ago, they had breached Morrigan’s stronghold, driven her back into the shadows, and nearly taken down everything she had worked for. Yet, despite the victory, the air felt heavy, like a storm was brewing on the horizon, and it had little to do with the danger still lurking in the wings. Fiona’s mind kept drifting back to Darwin. The last few hours had been a whirlwind—so much action, so much chaos—but the moments that lingered in her mind were the ones shared with him. The quiet ones, when he had let down his guard, and she had seen the man beneath the mask of the CEO. "Fiona?" The low, familiar voice pulled her

The sun rose over Zurich like a blade of gold slicing through steel-gray clouds. Inside the safe house, the world was still. The boy—Alex—lay curled beneath the thick blanket, his small hands clenched around the edge as if bracing himself for whatever might come next. Fiona stood by the window, watching the street below. There were no sirens. No helicopters. No immediate signs that their extraction had triggered global alarm bells. But the silence itself was suspicious—too calculated, too calm. “They're watching,” she said quietly. Darwin stood behind her, arms crossed. “You think they let us go?” “I think we took a piece they weren’t ready to lose. And now they’re deciding whether to recover it… or erase it.” Darwin’s eyes flicked to Alex’s room. “They built an entire system around him. That chair wasn’t just a monitor—it was a throne. And he was their king.” “No,” Fiona said sharply, turning to face him. “He was a prisoner.” Darwin didn’t argue. Marcus entered the room carr

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.
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 169
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
