Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 27
The drive back to Darwin’s penthouse felt agonizingly slow, even though his driver navigated the streets with urgency. Fiona sat rigidly in her seat, clutching her phone in a vice grip. Her thoughts raced. Thalassa was more than a best friend—she was family, her unwavering ally in the storm of chaos that had become Fiona’s life. If William was targeting her, it meant he had crossed a line that even his conniving games hadn’t breached before.Darwin sat beside her, his jaw clenched in silent anger. He reached for her hand, giving it a reassuring squeeze. “We’ll protect her, Fiona. Whatever he’s planning, we’ll stop it.”His words were comforting, but the pit in her stomach didn’t ease. “I can’t lose her, Darwin,” she whispered.“You won’t.”---When they arrived, Marcus was waiting in the penthouse, his face grim. “Thalassa called,” he said without preamble. “She said she’s fine for now but wanted you to know someone’s been following her for the past two days.”Fiona’s heart leapt into

The recording circulated rapidly, its contents analyzed, dissected, and speculated upon by media outlets and online commentators. In the span of a few hours, it became clear that William's strategy wasn’t just to ruin Fiona’s reputation; he wanted to isolate her completely.Darwin stood at the penthouse’s panoramic window, staring at the city lights while gripping his phone tightly. Marcus had left to mitigate the fallout, leaving Fiona, Thalassa, and Darwin to process the turn of events.Fiona sat curled up on the couch, watching the endless stream of updates with growing despair. The narration over the video painted her as a manipulative woman orchestrating a scheme to trap Darwin, with Eleanor’s involvement spun as further evidence of her duplicity.“This is worse than I thought,” Thalassa muttered, sitting beside her. “He’s not just attacking you—he’s trying to destroy every shred of credibility you have.”Darwin turned, his gaze sharp and unyielding. “He’s playing dirty, and we’l

The air in the penthouse grew thick with tension as Marcus explained the latest development.“William isn’t just silencing Alan Wright through threats or bribes. He’s activating his full arsenal. Alan’s name is already being scrubbed from public records, and I wouldn’t be surprised if a manufactured scandal surfaces to ruin his credibility entirely,” Marcus said.Darwin leaned against the edge of the desk, his jaw tight. “How long do we have before Alan’s entirely untouchable?”Marcus checked his phone. “At the rate William’s moving? A day. Maybe less.”Fiona, seated on the couch, wrapped her arms around herself. “If William discredits Alan, won’t that weaken our case? It’ll be our word against his.”“Exactly,” Darwin replied. “That’s why we need to get to Alan first.”Thalassa, sitting cross-legged in an armchair, raised an eyebrow. “And what’s the plan? It’s not like we can just knock on his door and ask him to hand over evidence.”Darwin exchanged a look with Marcus. “We don’t have

The morning sun filtered through the windows of the penthouse, but the atmosphere inside was anything but bright. Fiona paced the living room, her fingers knotted together in agitation. Darwin stood at the kitchen counter, his eyes glued to the screen of his tablet as he read the transcript of William's press conference.The television in the corner played the press event on a loop. William Newton stood confidently at the podium, his expression one of practiced outrage.“These baseless accusations against me are the work of desperate individuals,” he declared. “Darwin Solomon and Fiona Woods have conspired to fabricate evidence in a malicious attempt to tarnish my reputation and derail my business endeavors.”The soundbite was chilling in its simplicity, its venom disguised as righteous indignation.Darwin tossed the tablet onto the counter and rubbed his temples. “He’s good. Twisting the narrative like this—it’s exactly what I expected.”Thalassa, perched on the arm of the sofa, shoo

The city seemed to pulse with tension the next morning as the fallout from the latest revelations rippled across every news outlet. The exposé exposing William’s use of fabricated documents had turned public opinion against him again. But Darwin and Fiona knew the reprieve was temporary. William was too cunning to go down without a fight.Darwin sat at the head of the long table in the penthouse study, his face set in grim determination. Fiona, Thalassa, Marcus, and Rachel were seated around him, their expressions varying degrees of exhaustion and resolve.Marcus spoke first. “We’ve hit him hard with the evidence of those fake documents. His credibility is crumbling, but he’s already making moves to shift the narrative. He’s claiming the documents were planted by us to frame him.”Rachel scoffed. “Typical. When he’s cornered, he doubles down. But we can’t let him dictate the story anymore.”Darwin nodded. “Agreed. We need to push harder, faster. If we don’t keep the momentum, he’ll fi

The city was eerily quiet that morning. It wasn’t just the crisp autumn air that made Fiona shiver as she stood by the penthouse window—it was the text message from the night before."Tomorrow."Today was tomorrow, and she had no idea what William had planned.Darwin was already up, pacing the length of the study, his phone pressed to his ear. His security team had been on high alert since the threat, but so far, nothing unusual had been reported.Thalassa sat on the couch, sipping a cup of coffee, her usual sharp wit dulled by concern. “This feels like the calm before the storm,” she muttered.Marcus, who had been monitoring William’s financial collapse, strode in, his face grim. “We’ve boxed him in, but that makes him more dangerous. He’s desperate, and desperate men do stupid things.”Fiona nodded, her fingers tightening around the fabric of her sweater. She refused to let fear paralyze her, but the unknown loomed over her like a storm cloud.Then, Darwin’s phone rang.He answered

The road stretched endlessly ahead, the skyline of Bay City fading into the distance as Darwin’s black SUV sped toward Serene City. The tension in the car was thick, an unspoken understanding that this trip wasn’t just about confrontation—it was about survival. Fiona sat beside Darwin, her hands resting protectively over her stomach. Every mile that passed was a reminder that she was walking straight into danger. But she couldn’t hide anymore. William may have been behind bars, but his influence had not been locked away with him. And Bella Robbins was proof of that. In the back seat, Thalassa was uncharacteristically quiet, her gaze fixed on the view outside. Even she knew this wasn’t just another one of Fiona’s battles. This was the war that would decide everything. Marcus, driving the car ahead of them, spoke through the radio. “We’re ten minutes away. Security is already stationed around the perimeter of your old apartment, but there’s been no sign of Bella.” “Then we assume sh

The timestamp was from two days before his supposed prison escape.“That’s impossible,” Thalassa whispered.Fiona’s stomach twisted. “Someone let him out before the official records even changed.”Darwin’s face darkened. “Which means we have a rat inside law enforcement.”Marcus ran a search, fingers flying across the keyboard. “I’ll cross-check recent resignations, transfers, and promotions. Someone made a deal to get him out.”Thalassa leaned forward, her sharp gaze locked onto the screen. “Forget how. I want to know where he is now.”Marcus clicked on another file, his expression tightening. A few seconds later, a red dot appeared on a map. “Got something. Bella’s phone was active an hour ago.”Darwin narrowed his eyes. “Where?”Marcus exhaled sharply. “An abandoned steel factory on the outskirts of Serene City.”Silence filled the room.Then Fiona stood. “Let’s go.”Darwin followed immediately, but Marcus hesitated. “Wait—we need a plan.”Darwin grabbed his gun. “The plan is simpl

A New Routine Fiona had never imagined what a normal life would look like for her. For so long, every day had been about survival—dodging enemies, escaping traps, and planning her next move before the past could catch up to her. Now, for the first time in what felt like forever, she woke up in the same bed for more than a few nights in a row. It was… strange. Her new apartment was modest—far from the luxury she had grown accustomed to during her time with Darwin, but that was exactly why she had chosen it. Tucked away in a quiet part of the city, it was the kind of place where people minded their own business, where she could be anonymous for once. No grand mansions, no security guards, no constant looking over her shoulder. Just her. Well, and Darwin. “You keep staring at your coffee like it holds the meaning of life,” he commented from across the small kitchen table, a smirk tugging at his lips. Fiona blinked, realizing she had barely taken a sip. “Maybe it does,” she mutte

Unfinished Conversations The city stretched out before them, glittering under the night sky. Fiona had spent so many nights staring at these lights, wondering if she would ever feel like she belonged. Tonight, for the first time, she wasn’t wondering—she was certain. She wasn’t running anymore. She belonged here. Darwin swirled the whiskey in his glass, watching her carefully. “So what now?” Fiona sighed, leaning back in her chair. “That’s the second time you’ve asked me that in the past week.” “And I’ll keep asking until I get a real answer,” he said. She looked at him, studying his face. There was something different about him. Less guarded, more open. Darwin had always been a man of control, but now? Now he seemed… willing to let go. Maybe they both were. “I don’t know,” she admitted. “For the first time in years, I don’t have a plan. I don’t have to survive. I just have to… be.” Darwin smirked. “You make it sound like a bad thing.” “It’s not,” she said quickly. “It’s j
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 101
A Step Into the Unknown Fiona and Darwin didn’t speak as they left the airstrip. The weight of everything that had happened—the fights, the betrayals, the victories—still clung to them. But for the first time, it wasn’t a burden. It was a reminder. A lesson. They had survived. Now, they had to figure out how to live. The ride back to the city was quiet, the hum of the engine the only sound filling the space between them. Fiona watched the world blur past the window, her thoughts tangled. A fresh start. She had said those words, had meant them, but starting over wasn’t as easy as just saying it. What did a fresh start even look like for her? She had spent years pretending to be someone else, living under false names, running from shadows. Who was she without the fight? Without the need to constantly look over her shoulder? Darwin’s voice pulled her from her thoughts. “We should talk about where we go from here.” Fiona turned to him, searching his face. “You mean us?” He nod
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 100
The End of an Empire The sun had barely risen when the news broke. Every major network, every headline, every online feed carried the same story— ALEXANDER GREAVES: EXPOSED. CAPTURED. DESTROYED. For years, he had been an untouchable force, weaving his web of power through corruption, fear, and control. But now, that empire had crumbled. The man himself was behind bars, facing an unprecedented list of charges. The charges alone read like a novel—embezzlement, fraud, conspiracy, bribery, racketeering, obstruction of justice. It was a miracle he had stayed in power for as long as he did. But in the end, justice had caught up to him. His empire was in ruins, his allies either in hiding or cutting deals to save themselves, and his name was being dragged through every news cycle. Fiona sat at the safe house, staring at the screen in quiet disbelief. It was over. Truly over. She had spent so many years fighting to expose the truth, uncovering every secret, dodging every attempt to s
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 99
The explosion had sent shockwaves through the city. The media was already reporting Alexander Greaves' apparent death, but Fiona didn’t believe it for a second. Not until she had proof. She stood on the rooftop, staring at the smoldering wreckage of the helicopter, her mind racing. If there was one thing she knew about men like Greaves, it was that they always had a backup plan. Darwin stepped beside her, his jaw tight. “We should go before the authorities get here.” Marcus had already hacked the security feeds to wipe out any trace of their presence. Bella and Thalassa were watching their backs. But Fiona couldn’t move. Something about this felt wrong. Too easy. It's too staged. Greaves had orchestrated some of the most elaborate schemes in modern history. Would he go out in a fiery explosion with no failsafe? No. He was still alive. Somewhere. And she was going to find him. --- The Escape The team moved fast. They exited the estate through a hidden tunnel Marcus ha

The moment the files hit the Pandora Network, the world exploded. News stations scrambled to verify the leaks. Social media erupted with outrage. Governments and corporations descended into chaos, trying to contain the fallout. For years, Alexander Greaves had operated in the shadows, pulling the strings of industries, politicians, and power players. But now, the truth was out. The carefully crafted empire he had built on lies, extortion, and manipulation was crumbling before the world’s eyes. Fiona sat in front of the screen, watching it unfold in real time. It was working. They had delivered a crippling blow to Greaves. But the victory felt hollow. Because he wasn’t going to go down without a fight. --- The First Strike Darwin’s phone buzzed. Marcus glanced at the caller ID. His face went pale. “It’s an encrypted signal.” Darwin answered, putting it on speaker. A low, calm voice filled the room. Alexander Greaves. “I must admit, you’ve impressed me.” Fiona’s fingers

The moment the plane touched down in London, Fiona knew they weren’t safe. Not yet. The heist had been successful—too successful. They had everything they needed to take down Alexander Greaves, but they had also just declared war on a man who never lost. Fiona tightened her grip on the armrest as the jet taxied to a halt. “Stay alert,” Darwin muttered beside her, his gaze flicking toward the window. “Greaves isn’t the kind of man to let this slide.” Marcus unbuckled his seatbelt, already typing furiously on his laptop. “I’ve been monitoring his movements. He’s gone dark.” Thalassa raised an eyebrow. “That’s not good.” Bella let out a bitter laugh. “No, that’s terrifying. It means he’s planning something.” A heavy silence settled over them. Then, Darwin stood. “We move fast. We need to analyze the files and expose him before he gets the chance to wipe us off the map.” Fiona nodded, forcing down the unease twisting in her gut. They had started this fight. Now, they had to f
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 96
The war room was silent except for the faint hum of the laptop screen. Fiona’s name. Darwin’s. Thalassa. Marcus’s. The Architect wasn’t just tying up loose ends—he was erasing them. Marcus clenched his fists, his knuckles white against the edge of the table. “We have less than 48 hours before this operation is in full motion.” Darwin’s expression darkened. “Then we hit them first.” Fiona exhaled slowly, trying to steady her nerves. “How? We don’t even know who The Architect is.” Bella, still pale from nearly plummeting off a rooftop earlier that night, leaned against the desk, her body visibly tense. She hesitated, then reached beneath her coat and pulled out a worn leather folder. “I might have a lead.” Everyone turned to her. Bella swallowed, sliding the folder across the table. “This was buried in William’s private files. I never thought much of it before, but now—” She took a shaky breath. “I think this could be our answer.” Darwin flipped it open. His eyes scanned the p

The weight of Bella’s words hung in the air like a storm cloud. "The real leader of the Echelon… they call him The Architect." Fiona exchanged a glance with Darwin. If this was true, then they weren’t just fighting William anymore. They were up against someone far more dangerous. Someone who had orchestrated every move from the beginning. Darwin’s jaw tightened. “How long have you known this?” Bella hesitated. “A while.” Thalassa scoffed. “And you conveniently decided to share now?” Bella exhaled. “You don’t get it. No one knows who The Architect is. William was always the face of the operation, but someone else has been pulling the strings. Even William never met him in person.” Fiona frowned. “Then how do you know he exists?” Bella’s gaze dropped. “Because I saw the messages.” She reached into her purse, pulling out a flash drive. “I made copies.” Darwin’s eyes darkened. “You copied classified Echelon messages?” Bella nodded. “I needed leverage in case things went south.
