Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 51
Allies and BetrayalsThe morning air carried a heavy sense of urgency as Fiona paced inside Thalassa’s penthouse. The city stretched beneath them, indifferent to the war brewing in the highest echelons of power. Darwin sat across from her, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. Marcus, Darwin’s trusted assistant, stood by the window, flipping through documents on his tablet. Thalassa leaned against the bar, sipping black coffee, her sharp eyes shifting between Fiona and Darwin.No one spoke for several tense moments.Fiona finally broke the silence. “This doesn’t mean I trust you,” she said, glaring at Darwin. “But William is a bigger threat than either of us can handle alone.”Darwin inclined his head, his jaw tight. “Agreed. But make no mistake—I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just want to bring him down.”Thalassa sighed, pushing off the counter. “We don’t have the luxury of old wounds right now. William is cornered, and that makes him dangerous. He’ll retaliate, and we need t

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’

The heavy oak door creaked open as Fiona entered Darwin Solomon’s penthouse. The space was as cold and impersonal as its owner—minimalist decor, muted tones, and not a single item out of place.Darwin rarely brought her here. Their meetings usually took place at the villa he had arranged for her or the secluded corners of the office lounge. This house, with its stark perfection, wasn’t meant for her.She moved quietly through the rooms, her heels clicking softly against the marble floors. Her belongings were few, but she gathered them with deliberate care. Every drawer, every corner was checked to ensure she left no trace of herself behind. When the last item was tucked into her bag, she cast one final glance around the penthouse.This chapter of her life was closing.Back at her modest apartment, Fiona worked late into the night, her desk cluttered with documents. She sorted through notes, outlined pending tasks, and drafted her resignation letter.But her mind wasn’t on the handover

Inside the secretary’s office, silence hung heavy in the air. Darwin Solomon stood motionless, his eyes fixed on Fiona. For a man who controlled boardrooms with his mere presence, he now seemed lost. It wasn’t until the realization sank in—that Fiona was truly serious about leaving—that he spoke, his voice unusually subdued. “You haven’t visited your grandmother in a while,” he said, suppressing his anger and softening his tone. “I’ll give you a month’s leave. Think it over before making any final decisions.” Fiona’s expression didn’t waver. If anything, her resolve hardened. “There’s no need to think it over,” she replied evenly, meeting his gaze. “I’ve already decided.” Darwin’s patience snapped. “Fiona!” His tone was sharp, his frustration boiling over. For five years, she had been his constant—obedient, loyal, reliable. And now, she was throwing it all away. “You’re just a stand-in for Lilian,” he hissed, his voice dripping with disdain. “I’ve used you for fiv

Fiona lingered at the cemetery longer than she had planned. The rain had stopped, but the air was still heavy with mist as she made her way back to town. She was aimless, unsure where to go next, when her phone buzzed with a new message. Henry: Ms. Woods, Mr. Solomon has been in a foul mood all morning. Once you’re done, please come back quickly and save us! Fiona stared at the message for a moment. It wasn’t surprising—Darwin’s moods were legendary, and the office often bore the brunt of them. She sighed. Perhaps it was better to return and complete the handover quickly. The sooner she was out of his orbit, the safer she and her secret would be. She booked the first flight back to Bay City. The next morning, Fiona walked into the office. She was greeted not with quiet productivity but with an impromptu gathering of staff members who immediately surrounded her. “Ms. Woods, you can’t resign! What will we do without you?” “Seriously, Mr. Solomon was terrifying yesterday. I didn’t

The tension in the secretary's office was palpable as Darwin stepped out of his office, his sharp gaze scanning the room.“What’s all the noise about?” he asked coolly.Tony Potter wasted no time, storming over and pounding his chest in frustration. He launched into an impassioned explanation of the issue with the sales contract, emphasizing the gravity of the mistake.Standing behind Darwin, Bella adopted an expression of feigned concern. “Mr. Potter, I’m sure Fiona was just momentarily distracted,” she said sweetly. “Calm down—there will be other opportunities. It’s not worth upsetting yourself and risking your health.”Fiona’s eyes narrowed as she turned to Bella, her tone cold and cutting. “Miss Robbins, who exactly are you accusing?”Bella feigned a startled look, her voice softening. “Fiona, you misunderstood. I was just trying to—” She trailed off, glancing at Darwin for support. “Darwin...”Darwin’s gaze flicked to Fiona, his expression unreadable. His lips curled into a faint

The morning sun spilled over the quiet streets of Serene City, casting a soft golden glow that felt like a balm to Fiona’s frayed nerves. It was her third week in this new town, a world away from the suffocating glitz and glamour of Bay City. Here, life moved at a slower, more forgiving pace—a stark contrast to the relentless demands of Darwin Solomon’s shadow. Yet, even in the peace, her heart remained heavy, her mind restless.Fiona sat at the small breakfast table in her rented apartment, absentmindedly stirring a cup of tea. The baby inside her had become her only companion, a tiny spark of life that gave her the strength to keep moving forward. But the reality of her situation was beginning to sink in. She was alone, with no job, no stable income, and enemies lurking in the shadows.Thalassa had offered to help her financially, but Fiona had refused. She didn’t want to be anyone’s charity case—not even her best friend’s. For years, she’d lived as someone else’s pawn, dancing to D

Fiona paced the small confines of her apartment, her bare feet making soft, repetitive thuds on the hardwood floor. The evening breeze filtered through the open window, doing little to ease the restlessness in her chest. It had been three days since her confrontation with Darwin at the cruise party, three days since the revelation of Bella’s schemes had left her shaken.Three days, and yet Fiona still felt trapped—caged in a game she hadn’t agreed to play.She paused by the window, staring out at the glittering skyline of Bay City. From here, the city looked so peaceful, its chaos muted by distance. But Fiona knew better. Beneath the sparkling facade lay a tangle of power plays and betrayals—one she was now irrevocably entangled in.Her thoughts were interrupted by the shrill ring of her phone. She hesitated, her stomach knotting as she recognized the number. Darwin.Taking a steadying breath, she answered. “What do you want?”“Have you calmed down enough to think rationally?” His voi

Darwin Solomon had spent years playing by the rules. That era was over.The explosion at the estate had been the final warning. William wasn’t running anymore. He was hunting.And Darwin had no intention of being the prey.Fiona stood beside him in the secure bunker beneath their property, her face illuminated by the dim glow of computer screens. Thalassa sat at a workstation, fingers flying across the keyboard. Lucas paced near the door, weapon in hand, scanning the security feeds.“Any word on the attackers?” Darwin asked, his voice steady.Thalassa didn’t look up. “They were professionals. No identifiers, no digital footprint.” She tapped a few keys, narrowing her search. “But…”Darwin and Fiona stepped closer.Thalassa turned the screen toward them. “I traced their escape route. They were extracted by an unregistered chopper heading west. Only one organization has the resources to pull that off without a trace.”Fiona exhaled. “The Echelon.”Lucas clenched his jaw. “They’re not ev

A Ghost in the ShadowsWilliam Ashford had disappeared.Not captured. Not exposed.Gone.For days, Darwin, Fiona, and their allies scoured every trace he might have left behind—bank transactions, private flights, encrypted communications. They checked offshore accounts, known associates, even his private security detail. But William had covered his tracks too well.And that was the real danger.Men like William didn’t run to hide. They ran to reassemble their power.Darwin stood in his office, his gaze locked onto the city skyline. The tension in the room was suffocating. Across from him, Lucas and Thalassa sat, their expressions mirroring his own grim resolve.“We have to assume he’s already making his next move,” Lucas said, his voice firm. “The Echelon doesn’t just abandon assets like him. If he vanished, it’s because they allowed it.”Thalassa tapped a pen against the table. “That means they’re repositioning him. They wouldn’t cut him loose unless they had something—or someone—to

The world around William Ashford was beginning to crumble.The proof Fiona and Thalassa had uncovered was damning—offshore accounts, fraudulent payments, and direct evidence linking him to the smear campaign. It was only a matter of time before the truth went public.And William knew it.Sitting in his private study, he gripped a glass of whiskey, his knuckles white as he stared at the news reports flooding in.The backlash had begun.Several journalists had retracted their statements, claiming they had been "misled by unreliable sources." Financial analysts were questioning the legitimacy of the attacks on Solomon Enterprises, and whispers of William’s involvement were gaining traction.More dangerously, some of his most powerful allies—those within the Echelon—had started to distance themselves.A weak link was a liability.And William Ashford refused to be anyone’s liability.He set the glass down and reached for his phone. He had one last play left.A desperate one.But it would h

The night after their confrontation with Viktor Dane, the war took a new turn.Darwin, Fiona, Thalassa, and Lucas regrouped at a secure location—one of Darwin’s lesser-known penthouses overlooking the city. The tension was thick, their next move unclear.But then, the attack came.Not with bullets or explosions.But with headlines.---Scandal UnleashedFiona awoke to the sound of her phone buzzing relentlessly. Groggy, she reached for it, her stomach twisting when she saw the dozens of notifications flooding in. Her heart pounded as she tapped on the first news alert."Darwin Solomon’s Secret: Fiona Monroe Pregnant—But Who’s the Father?"She sat up, cold dread washing over her as she scrolled."Sources close to William Ashford claim that Fiona Monroe’s affair with Darwin Solomon is more than just business. An insider reveals that the socialite is carrying Solomon’s child, raising questions about the nature of their relationship."The article was filled with speculation and half-truth

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 45
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

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.”

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.
