Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 39
The following days passed in a blur for Fiona. The weight of Darwin’s words lingered in her mind, gnawing at the edges of her resolve. She had never been one to let herself be swayed by promises or grand gestures, but something about his vulnerability—the rawness she glimpsed for a split second—had left her questioning everything. But there was more at stake now than just her heart. There was the life growing inside her, the child she had sworn to protect, no matter the cost. In the dimly lit apartment, Fiona sat at the kitchen table, the morning light spilling in through the windows. The sound of her phone buzzing broke the silence. She glanced at the screen—Thalassa. “Fiona, we need to talk,” Thalassa’s voice came through the receiver, her tone urgent. Fiona stood, pacing around the small room. “What is it now?” she asked, her voice tinged with frustration. “The Newtons. They’re making moves, Fiona. You need to be prepared. William’s not going to stop until he’s completely dest

The air in Bay City felt heavier than usual, charged with an unspoken tension that rippled through the towering skyline. The war between Darwin Solomon and William Newton was no longer confined to boardrooms and whispered threats—it had spilled into the streets, the headlines, and the very fabric of their lives.Fiona sat at the café across from Thalassa, stirring her tea absentmindedly. Her mind wasn’t on the warm liquid or the bustling café around her. It was on the man who had forced his way back into her life. Darwin’s words from the night before still echoed in her head."Then I’ll prove it, Fiona. I swear to you, I’ll prove it."She wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe that he was capable of change, that he was willing to fight for something beyond his empire. But believing had cost her too much in the past.“Stop overthinking,” Thalassa’s voice cut through her thoughts. “You look like you’re about to unravel that tea with your mind.”Fiona sighed. “I don’t know what to

The night sky stretched endlessly over Bay City, its glow dimmed by the storm brewing beneath its surface. Fiona had taken a step she could never take back—aligning herself with Darwin Solomon in a way that went beyond business, beyond strategy. It was personal now.She sat in the dimly lit study of Thalassa’s apartment, staring at the headlines flashing across the screen of her phone. The world now knew about her pregnancy. About her and Darwin. The battle had officially begun.But battles always had casualties.A soft knock at the door made her look up. Thalassa leaned against the doorframe, arms crossed. “You should sleep.”Fiona let out a dry laugh. “Sleep? That’s funny.”Thalassa walked inside, dropping onto the couch beside her. “You did it, Fi. You changed the game.”Fiona exhaled, shaking her head. “It doesn’t feel like a win yet.”Thalassa studied her for a long moment. “Because you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop.”Fiona didn’t respond. She didn’t need to.Because deep

Bay City pulsed with tension. The skyline stood tall and unwavering, but beneath the surface, power plays and betrayals simmered like a storm on the horizon. Darwin Solomon had spent years building his empire, brick by brutal brick. Now, it stood on the verge of collapse.William Newton had made his move, and it was a masterstroke. The allegations of financial misconduct had triggered a federal investigation, shaking the very foundation of Solomon Enterprises. Investors were pulling out. Allies were wavering. And the media? They smelled blood in the water.But Darwin wasn’t out of the fight just yet.Fiona sat in his office, watching as he paced back and forth, phone pressed to his ear. His voice was low, controlled, but she could hear the razor-sharp edge beneath it. He was fighting to keep his company intact, negotiating with board members, calling in favors, doing everything in his power to stop the bleeding.Yet, she could see it—the toll it was taking. The exhaustion in his eyes.

Here’s the completed version with an expanded word count of 1,350 words, deepening the tension, character emotions, and stakes.---The Morning News Hit Like a Wrecking Ball"Solomon’s Secret Scandal: Fiona Price Pregnant with Billionaire’s Child!""Betrayal and Deception: Is Fiona Using the Baby to Trap Darwin?""Darwin Solomon’s Empire Shaken by Personal Scandal!"Fiona sat frozen in Thalassa’s apartment, her fingers tightening around her phone as she read the articles. Each headline twisted the truth into something ugly, something damning. They painted her as a schemer, a manipulator—a woman desperate to cling to power by any means necessary.William had made his next move. And it was brutal.Thalassa snatched the phone from Fiona’s hands, her expression darkening with every word she read. “This is disgusting,” she muttered. “They’re making it sound like you planned this pregnancy just to control Darwin.”Fiona swallowed the lump in her throat. “That’s exactly what William wants.

Fiona’s grip on her phone tightened as she stared at the message. The words burned into her mind.You think this is over? You’ve only just begun.Her pulse quickened, but she refused to let fear take hold. Fear was exactly what they wanted. Whoever had sent this wasn’t just issuing a warning—they were letting her know that she was still a target.Thalassa’s eyes flicked to Fiona’s face, reading her reaction before returning to the phone screen. She didn’t waste time with words of reassurance. Instead, she reached for Fiona’s laptop, already searching for ways to track the message’s origin.“This isn’t William,” Thalassa muttered. “He’s too busy dealing with the media firestorm.”Fiona exhaled sharply, her thoughts racing. “Then who?”Before Thalassa could answer, a knock at the door made them both freeze.Fiona glanced at the clock—too late for casual visitors.Thalassa rose first, moving toward the door cautiously. She peered through the peephole and let out a breath. “It’s Darwin.”

The city lights flickered in the distance as Darwin stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of his penthouse, his thoughts a storm of unanswered questions. Lucas’s warning echoed in his mind.“William was never the real enemy.”That meant someone else—someone more powerful, more dangerous—had been pulling the strings all along.Fiona sat on the couch, her fingers drumming against her knee. She had fought battles before, but this was different. This was a game where the enemy wasn’t just attacking from the shadows; they were inside their walls.Thalassa, ever the strategist, leaned against the kitchen counter, flipping through her tablet. “Lucas knew something,” she said, breaking the silence. “And whatever it is, it scared him enough to warn you.”Darwin turned, his expression unreadable. “That wasn’t a warning,” he corrected. “That was a threat.”Fiona frowned. “Then we need to find out who Lucas is really working for.”Thalassa nodded. “I’ve already started digging. Lucas is good at c

The armored SUV sped through the darkened streets, the city blurring past as Darwin, Fiona, Thalassa, and Lucas sat in tense silence. The echoes of gunfire still rang in their ears, and the weight of Lucas’s revelation hung thick in the air.The Echelon.A secretive network of power brokers with their hands in everything from corporate empires to government policies. They weren’t just fighting a businessman with a grudge anymore. They had declared war on a shadow organization that had remained untouchable for decades.Darwin exhaled sharply, his fingers tightening around the steering wheel. “No more games,” he said. “Tell us everything.”Lucas sat in the passenger seat, his gaze fixed ahead. “The Echelon operates in cells. Each member controls a sector—finance, technology, media, law enforcement. William was just one of many. His job was to keep you in check, Darwin.”Fiona’s stomach twisted. “So when we took him down…”Lucas nodded. “You made them bleed. And the Echelon doesn’t toler

The morning dawned with an eerie stillness as if the city itself was holding its breath. Fiona stood at the window of their temporary hideout, watching the street below. The sky was overcast, and the light that filtered through the clouds cast everything in a muted, gray tone. It suited her mood. Today wasn’t a day for joy. It was a day for war. Behind her, the room buzzed with movement. Marcus was finishing up a secure line to their new contact in Interpol. Thalassa sat on the floor with maps and surveillance photos spread out around her like a war general preparing for battle. Darwin, quiet and intense, leaned against the wall near the door, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. "We’re ready," Marcus finally said, looking up. "The servers have been rigged to release everything if Morrigan tries to interfere with the next stage. Interpol agreed to act once we handed over the package. We just need the final proof—the nail in the coffin." Fiona nodded. "That’s what tonight is for
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 167
The morning air was thick with tension as Fiona stood by the window, staring at the gray skyline. Her reflection was barely visible in the glass, ghostlike and distant. It had been hours since Sofia's attempted assassination. The journalist was still in critical condition, but alive. Barely. Darwin entered the room quietly, a steaming cup of coffee in his hand. He didn’t speak, just handed her the cup and joined her by the window. “She’s holding on,” he said finally. Fiona nodded. “But for how long?” “She gave us a name. That’s more than most people get before they’re silenced.” “Not good enough.” Fiona turned, her voice sharp. “We need to push harder, faster. Morrigan’s not going to slow down.” Darwin didn’t argue. He knew she was right. Thalassa entered with Marcus trailing behind, a tablet in hand. “We have something,” Marcus announced. “Sofia’s notes—we decrypted some of her files. She was onto a major asset transfer. Morrigan’s been funneling funds to offshore accounts und
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 166
The sound of shattering glass echoed through Fiona's memory as she stood in the aftermath of the failed hit on Sofia Laurent. The journalist was still alive, barely, but the attack had escalated the war Morrigan was waging from the shadows. They couldn’t wait any longer. Back at the safe house, the atmosphere was volatile. Darwin paced the room, fists clenched, his jaw tight. Thalassa sat with a map spread across the table, a red marker in her hand, circling key locations tied to Morrigan’s operations. Marcus stood by the window, phone pressed to his ear, coordinating with allies they had been reluctant to involve until now. Fiona broke the silence. “We hit her back. Not just financially. We go after the people that keep her afloat.” Darwin stopped pacing, turning to her. “You’re talking about dismantling her infrastructure.” “Exactly,” Fiona said. “She wants to destroy everything we care about. It’s time we show her we can do the same.” Thalassa nodded. “I’ve been mapping out h
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 165
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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 164
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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 163
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
