Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 144
A Dangerous Destination The private jet cut through the night sky, the soft hum of the engines the only sound in the dimly lit cabin. Fiona sat near the window, staring out at the vast darkness stretching below them. Somewhere beyond the horizon lay their next battlefield—Switzerland, home to the private bank funding Lucian’s operations. She turned to Darwin, who sat across from her, his hands clasped together as he went over their plan for the hundredth time. “We land in Geneva at dawn,” he said. “Marcus’s contact will meet us with forged credentials. From there, we go straight to the bank.” Fiona nodded. “And if things don’t go smoothly?” Darwin met her gaze. “Then we adapt.” Thalassa, sitting with her feet propped up on the armrest of another seat, smirked. “I like that answer. But let’s be honest, this is already a suicide mission.” Marcus, who had been tapping furiously at his laptop, spoke without looking up. “Our odds are slightly better than that. I’d say forty percent

The air inside the safe house was thick with tension. The stolen files sat on Marcus’s laptop, illuminating the dim room with a dull glow. Fiona, Darwin, Thalassa, and Marcus huddled around the screen, their faces etched with disbelief. “These people…” Marcus murmured, his fingers skimming across the keyboard. “They’re not just criminals. They control everything.” The list of names scrolled endlessly—billionaires, politicians, intelligence operatives, military leaders. Each one is tied to William, Lucian, and a secret organization that stretches across continents. Fiona’s stomach twisted. “This isn’t just about revenge anymore.” She looked up at Darwin. “If we expose them, we’re taking on the entire system.” Darwin leaned against the wall, his jaw tight. “That’s exactly what we need to do.” Thalassa scoffed. “Easier said than done. These people don’t just disappear because we drop a few files on the internet.” “She’s right,” Marcus said, rubbing his temples. “If we release this

The safe house in Zurich was dark except for the soft glow of multiple laptop screens. The tension in the air was thick, the only sound being the rapid clicking of Marcus’s keyboard as he worked through Alistair Graves’s financial records. His eyes darted between numbers, graphs, and offshore account details, unraveling a vast network of money laundering and illicit transactions. “His accounts are like a spiderweb,” Marcus muttered, barely blinking. “Shell companies, offshore holdings, crypto wallets. He’s moving billions like it’s pocket change.” Fiona leaned over his shoulder, her gaze narrowing as she examined the figures flashing on the screen. “Can we shut them down?” Marcus exhaled, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Not all at once. But if we hit the right accounts, we can cripple his ability to fund Lucian’s operations.” Darwin, standing near the window with his arms crossed, turned to them. His jaw was set in determination. “Then we do it.” Thalassa, sitting across the ro

The air in the new hideout was thick with tension. Fiona paced the length of the room, her arms crossed tightly over her chest. Marcus was hunched over his laptop, fingers moving rapidly as he worked through Lucian’s remaining assets. Thalassa stood by the window, gun in hand, her sharp eyes scanning for any sign of movement outside. Darwin leaned against the table, studying the encrypted message Lucian had sent. “You’ve made a mistake. Now, I make the rules.” It was a declaration of war. Fiona exhaled sharply. “We need to hit him before he retaliates.” Marcus didn’t look up from his screen. “I’m working on it. His network is massive, but I’ve managed to isolate a few key players who are still operational.” Thalassa turned from the window. “How much time do we have before he strikes?” Darwin’s expression was grim. “Not long.” Lucian had lost a fortune overnight, and men like him didn’t accept losses without making others suffer for it. He would retaliate. The only question wa

The message from Lucian burned on the screen like a final, ominous warning. “You think you’ve won? You have no idea what’s coming.” Fiona stared at it, her pulse pounding in her ears. Thalassa leaned in. “We just exposed every secret he’s been keeping. What else could he possibly have left?” Darwin exhaled sharply. “If Lucian still has a card to play, we need to find out what it is—fast.” Marcus was already scanning through Lucian’s known connections. “He’s been operating in the shadows for years. If there’s something bigger at play, it won’t be in these files.” Fiona’s mind raced. Lucian wasn’t the type to bluff. If he had something left, it was something none of them had considered yet. And that terrified her. The group relocated to a secondary safe house just outside Zurich. The walls were bare, the furniture minimal. Every precaution had been taken to ensure it was off-grid, but after Bella’s ambush, no place felt truly safe anymore. Fiona sat at the edge of the worn cou

Lucian’s smirk sent a chill down Fiona’s spine. He was still in control—or at least, he thought he was. Fiona pressed the barrel of her gun harder against his chest. “You’re out of moves, Lucian.” His breath hitched slightly, but his confidence never wavered. “That’s where you’re wrong,” he whispered. Then, before Fiona could react, his hand shot forward—grabbing her wrist. A sharp twist sent pain shooting up her arm. She barely managed to keep hold of her weapon. Lucian took advantage, rolling out from under her and kicking up at her stomach. The impact sent her stumbling back. Lucian bolted. Fiona cursed, pushing through the pain. She wasn’t letting him get away. She sprinted after him, boots pounding against the marble floor. The estate was vast, with high ceilings and corridors that twisted in confusing patterns. But Fiona had memorized the layout from Marcus’s schematics. Lucian made a sharp turn down a side hallway, heading toward a stairwell leading to the underground

The glowing red numbers on Lucian’s watch sent a cold wave of panic through the room. “Damn it,” Darwin hissed, tightening his grip on Lucian’s collar. “What did you do?” Lucian smirked, despite the blood trickling from his temple. “If I die, I’m not dying alone.” Fiona’s heart pounded. There was no time to argue. She lunged, snatching Lucian’s wrist to get a better look at the countdown. 00:25 Thalassa grabbed Fiona’s arm. “We have to get out of here!” But Fiona wasn’t listening. Her mind raced as she examined the watch. It wasn’t just a simple trigger—it was linked to the entire estate’s security system. Lucian had rigged everything. Darwin slammed Lucian against the steel vault door. “Where’s the kill switch?” Lucian let out a wheezing laugh. “You think I’d tell you?” 00:22 Fiona’s hands trembled as she traced the watch’s structure. If she could access the controls, she might be able to disable the detonator. But Lucian wasn’t going to let that happen. With a sudden j

The soft hum of fluorescent lights filled the room as Dr. Hamilton glanced at the chart in her hands. She turned to Fiona Woods with a practiced smile, her voice steady yet kind.“Ms. Woods, congratulations. You’re eight weeks pregnant!”The words hit Fiona like a thunderclap. For a moment, she couldn’t move, couldn’t speak. The sterile air of the doctor’s office seemed to thicken, pressing down on her chest.“What?” she finally whispered, her voice faint. “Pregnant?”Dr. Hamilton nodded, her smile unwavering but cautious, as if she anticipated resistance. “Yes, eight weeks along.”Fiona’s mind spun. Eight weeks? How could that be?She and Darwin Solomon had always been careful. Painstakingly careful. Memories flitted back to his birthday two months ago. A night that began with champagne and laughter, and ended in a fleeting moment of recklessness. Just once, she reminded herself. It was only once.Her expression must have betrayed her thoughts, because Dr. Hamilton spoke gently. “It’

A Lingering Threat Fiona’s fingers tightened around the edge of the desk as she reread the anonymous message on Marcus’s screen. You took one king off the board. But the game isn’t over. The words felt like a cold hand wrapping around her throat. Darwin paced behind her, his jaw clenched. “Lucian might be dead, but someone else is ready to take his place.” Thalassa leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “Moreau was right. Lucian had contingency plans. This message proves it.” Marcus’s fingers flew over the keyboard. “I tried tracing the signal, but whoever sent it knows what they’re doing. The encryption is military-grade.” Fiona exhaled sharply. “Can you break it?” Marcus hesitated. “Maybe, but it’ll take time. If they send this, they’re already ahead of us.” Darwin stopped pacing. “Then we can’t wait. We need to figure out who Lucian’s successor is before they make their move.” Moreau, still standing near the doorway, took a slow drag of his cigarette. “You won’t like the

The tension in the hideout was suffocating. Fiona clenched her fists as she stared at the map Marcus had pulled up on the screen. The factory was located on the outskirts of the city, hidden behind warehouses and abandoned lots—a perfect place for Lucian to set his trap. Thalassa folded her arms. “He’s expecting us to walk in blindly. We can’t give him that advantage.” Darwin exhaled slowly. “We need to force him into a position where he loses control.” Marcus adjusted his glasses. “I can tap into the city’s surveillance feeds and track movement around the factory. But if Lucian’s using private security, it won’t be easy to predict how many men he has.” Fiona’s voice was firm. “We’re not waiting. Every second we waste, Claire’s in danger.” Darwin met her gaze, his expression unreadable for a moment before he nodded. “Then we move. But we do this smartly.” They gathered their gear—bulletproof vests, weapons, and comms. Marcus set up in the van outside, his fingers flying over th
