Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 146
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 tension in the air was suffocating. The safe house was silent except for the hum of computer monitors and the distant echo of sirens in the city below. Fiona sat on the edge of the couch, her fingers gripping the armrest as she watched Marcus work furiously at his laptop. They had made their move, but Lucian wasn’t the type to accept defeat quietly. "He’s going to retaliate," Darwin said, standing by the window, watching the empty street below. "We took everything from him. He has nothing left to lose." Thalassa checked the magazine of her gun, clicking it back into place. "That makes him the most dangerous enemy we’ve faced yet." Marcus let out a sharp breath. "Lucian’s digital footprint has gone cold. His last transaction was an emergency wire transfer to a private account in Argentina, but then—nothing. No activity. It’s like he vanished." Fiona frowned. "Men like him don’t just disappear. He’s planning something." A sudden alert flashed across Marcus’s screen. He leaned

The cold Zurich air carried a sense of unease as Fiona, Darwin, and their team settled into their new safe house. The previous battle had left them battered but not broken. They had struck a major blow against Lucian, but they knew he wasn’t the kind of man to accept defeat quietly. Marcus was the first to speak as he scanned his laptop. “Lucian’s network is in chaos. Graves is officially burned. His accounts are frozen, and every major financial institution is flagging his transactions.” Thalassa leaned against the wall, arms crossed. “That means Lucian is desperate. And desperate men are unpredictable.” Fiona sat on the edge of the table, her mind racing through their options. “We’ve forced his hand, but he still has resources. He’ll retaliate, and we need to be ready.” Darwin exhaled sharply. “Then we go on the offensive.” Isabelle checked the security feed. “We need to find out where Lucian is holed up. He’s too smart to be out in the open.” Marcus’s fingers flew across the

The weight of their victory settled over the team like an invisible shroud. The war had ended, but the scars remained. Back in Zurich, the safe house felt eerily quiet after weeks of chaos. Fiona stood by the window, watching the city below. It was strange how life continued, oblivious to the battles fought in the shadows. Darwin entered the room, his gaze searching hers. "You haven't slept." She shook her head. "It's hard to turn it off. The fight, the adrenaline... It kept us going. Now that it's over, I don’t know what to do." He leaned against the wall, arms crossed. "We've spent so long surviving, we never planned for what came after." Fiona sighed. "What comes after? Do we just disappear, pretend none of this happened?" Darwin stepped closer. "No. We build something better." A knock on the door interrupted their moment. Marcus entered, holding a file. "Interpol wants a final debrief. They're wrapping up loose ends, but there's something you need to see." Fiona took the f

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 173
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
