Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 54
The night had swallowed the chaos, but the echoes of battle remained.Fiona stood at the edge of the underground garage, watching as the police escorted William away in handcuffs. His once-impeccable suit was disheveled, his face a storm of barely restrained rage.He turned his head slightly, locking eyes with her one last time.“You think this is over?” he murmured, a twisted smile curling his lips. “You’ve just made yourself a bigger target.”Fiona didn’t flinch. “You already tried to destroy me, William. Look where that got you.”A flash of something unreadable crossed his face—then he was shoved forward, disappearing into the waiting police van.Silence settled over the garage.Darwin exhaled, lowering his weapon as he walked up beside Fiona. “It’s done.”Fiona wasn’t so sure. “No, not yet. We stopped William, but the Echelon won’t just roll over.”Thalassa leaned against a pillar, arms crossed. “They’ll regroup, sure. But they just lost their golden boy. That kind of shake-up tak

The Kingston Enterprises building was eerily quiet at dawn. The remnants of William’s empire were still smoldering, and the corporate world was watching with bated breath. Fiona stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of her new office, gazing at the city below.This was never the life she envisioned for herself. Yet, here she was—holding the reins of a company that once sought to ruin her.A soft knock on the door pulled her from her thoughts.Thalassa stepped in, a tablet in hand. “You’re up early.”Fiona smirked. “You’re one to talk.”Thalassa plopped onto the leather chair across from her. “Sleep is a luxury these days.” She placed the tablet on Fiona’s desk. “I took the liberty of compiling everything we need to clean up the mess Bella and William left behind. It’s not pretty.”Fiona skimmed the data—corrupt deals, embezzled funds, severed partnerships. It was worse than she thought.“They ran this company into the ground,” Fiona muttered.Thalassa sighed. “Bella may have been a pa

The corridors of Kingston Enterprises felt different now. The air was no longer tainted by William’s manipulations or Bella’s desperation. Yet, despite the victory, Fiona knew the battle was far from over.She walked through the office with purpose, nodding at employees who were still adjusting to the shift in leadership. Some looked at her with admiration, others with skepticism. She didn’t blame them. Change was never easy, and trust was not given freely—it had to be earned.As she reached her office, Marcus was waiting for her, a file in hand.“Morning,” he greeted, stepping inside. “I have updates.”Fiona sat down and gestured for him to continue.Marcus handed her the file. “The internal audit is almost complete. We found more irregularities than expected, but nothing we can’t handle.”She flipped through the pages. Fraudulent contracts, missing funds—remnants of William’s web of deceit.“This will take time to clean up,” she muttered, running a hand through her hair.Marcus nodd

Pain shot through Fiona’s shoulder as she pressed her back against a rusted metal crate. Blood seeped through her coat, warm against the cold night air. Her breathing was steady despite the sharp sting—she couldn’t afford panic.William was alive. And he wasn’t alone.The shot had been a warning. If he wanted her dead immediately, he wouldn’t have missed.A cold wind howled through the deserted docks, rattling the chains that hung from the towering shipping containers. The air smelled of salt and rust, a grim setting for the showdown that had been inevitable since the moment she decided to take him down.Footsteps crunched against the gravel. Slow. Purposeful.“Fiona,” William’s voice rang out, smooth and confident. “Come out. Let’s talk.”She gritted her teeth. Talk? That wasn’t why he was here.A flickering streetlight cast jagged shadows across the maze of containers. Fiona counted at least three figures—William and two of his men, their silhouettes shifting in the dim light. They

The city buzzed with an eerie calm—the kind that always came before a storm.Fiona sat in the dim glow of her penthouse, her fingers drumming against the edge of a whiskey glass. The liquid inside barely swayed, but her mind was anything but still. Across from her, Darwin leaned against the counter, his expression unreadable, his gaze flickering between her and the skyline beyond.The chase had officially begun.William was still out there—alive, regrouping. That meant one thing.He wasn’t done playing the game.The sound of heels clicking against the marble floor broke the silence. Thalassa entered the room, her sharp gaze fixed on the tablet in her hands. She looked satisfied, but there was always an edge to her victories.“We’ve frozen most of his accounts,” she announced, setting the tablet on the table. “But he’s slippery. He anticipated this and started moving assets days ago. There’s still money we haven’t touched.”Fiona swirled the amber liquid in her glass, taking a slow sip

The scent of smoke clung to Fiona’s clothes, a sharp reminder of how close she had come to burning alive. The explosion had reduced her penthouse to a charred ruin, the fire department barely managing to contain the inferno before it spread further.But Fiona wasn’t thinking about the loss of her home.She was thinking about William.Sitting in a dimly lit safe house—an abandoned loft Thalassa had secured in the city’s industrial district—she tightened her grip around a steaming cup of coffee. Across from her, Darwin leaned against the edge of a steel table, his arms crossed, his jaw clenched.“We need to move,” he said.Fiona exhaled slowly, her mind already racing ahead. “We don’t react. We strike first.”Marcus paced near the window, phone in hand. “I’ve pulled up all known associates William could be working with. The mercenaries he hired are scattered across multiple locations, but there’s a pattern. They’re gathering in clusters, all within a fifteen-mile radius.”Darwin narrowe

The engines of the private jet roared to life as Fiona fastened her seatbelt, her mind a battlefield of calculations. The attack on William’s mercenaries had been a success, but it wasn’t over. Bella was on the move, and they had a narrow window to intercept her before she became William’s next weapon.Darwin sat across from her, rolling his shoulders as he assessed their next steps. Marcus was at the front of the cabin, working through encrypted channels to locate Bella’s plane. Thalassa, still on the ground, fed them updates.“She’s headed east,” Thalassa’s voice crackled over the comms. “Flight plan suggests she’s bound for an airstrip near the coast. It’s isolated, private, and outside most standard tracking networks.”Darwin frowned. “Sounds like William’s backup escape route.”Fiona’s grip tightened. William always planned for contingencies. If he had arranged a rendezvous at a private airstrip, it meant he wasn’t just planning to go into hiding—he was positioning himself for hi

he night was thick with smoke, the acrid scent of burning fuel clinging to Fiona’s skin as she stood at the edge of the ruined hangar. The wreckage was still smoldering, the skeletal remains of the jet they had hoped to intercept now reduced to twisted metal. The distant hum of William’s retreating convoy was barely audible over the crackling flames.He had escaped—again.But not for long.Darwin stood beside her, jaw clenched, his hands curled into fists. “He planned this,” he muttered. “He knew we’d come for him.”Fiona took a slow breath, forcing her mind to clear. “Then it’s time we stop playing by his rules.”She turned to Marcus, who was scanning the airstrip with narrowed eyes. “Do we still have a tracker on Bella’s jet?”Marcus nodded, tapping on his tablet. “It’s heading southeast, same flight path as before. If they’re sticking to the original destination, they’ll land within the hour.”Fiona’s gaze sharpened. “Then we need to be there first.”Darwin’s brow furrowed. “You ha

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
