Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 58
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 underground tunnels stretched beneath the island like a hidden labyrinth, carved deep into the rock to serve as William’s final escape route. The air was damp and thick with the scent of saltwater, the walls lined with flickering emergency lights.Fiona, Darwin, and Marcus moved fast, their footsteps echoing in the confined space. The map on Marcus’s tablet displayed a direct path to William’s exit point—an underground dock where a speedboat waited to whisk him away.“We have less than five minutes before he’s out of our reach,” Marcus warned.Fiona gritted her teeth, her pulse hammering. She wasn’t about to let William slip away again.Not this time.She pushed forward, leading the charge through the dimly lit tunnel. Every muscle in her body was tense, ready for the inevitable ambush. William wouldn’t make it easy for them.And he didn’t.A hail of gunfire erupted from the corridor ahead.“Down!” Darwin shouted, grabbing Fiona’s arm and pulling her behind cover. Bullets ricochet

The night was eerily quiet.Fiona stood at the edge of the crumbling cliff, her breath heavy, her hands clenched into fists. The island, once a fortress of William’s power, now lay in ruins. Smoke curled from the collapsed tunnels, the scent of burning rock thick in the damp air.Her mind raced.William was gone—buried under tons of debris, lost in the chaos of his own destruction. Or at least, that was what logic dictated.But Fiona had learned one painful lesson over the years.William never died easy.Darwin approached, his face smeared with soot and blood, his eyes dark with exhaustion. “It should be over.” His voice was rough, barely above a whisper.Fiona didn’t look at him. “Should be.”Marcus and Bella stood a few feet away, shaken but alive. Bella hugged herself, still pale from the confrontation at the underground dock. She hadn’t said much since they’d escaped, but her silence wasn’t surprising.She had betrayed William in the end.But had it been enough?Marcus checked his

The night smelled of gasoline and smoke.Fiona lay on her back, staring at the dark sky, her heartbeat hammering in her ears. The roar of William’s jet was fading, but the burn in her muscles reminded her of how close they had come.Too close.Darwin groaned beside her, rolling onto his hands and knees. “Tell me we at least did some damage.”Bella, still breathless, checked her tablet with trembling fingers. A second later, a slow, victorious grin crossed her face. “He’s leaking fuel. He won’t make it far.”Fiona pushed herself up, wincing. Dirt clung to her palms, her body aching from the impact of their fall. She didn’t care.Her gaze locked onto the sky, where a thin, barely visible trail of smoke followed the jet’s path.Marcus’s voice crackled through her earpiece. “What the hell just happened? I lost your signals for a second.”Fiona pressed a hand against her ribs, steadying her breath. “William’s plane took off. We tried to stop him, but he got airborne.”A pause. Then, “You’r

The explosion had turned the night into chaos.Smoke curled into the air, thick and acrid, stinging Fiona’s throat as she pushed herself upright. Her body ached from the blast, but she forced herself to move.William was still out there.Darwin was already on his feet, scanning the smoldering wreckage. Bella, coughing, held her injured arm but stayed close.Fiona’s mind raced. William had triggered the explosion to disappear.He had planned for this.Again.Darwin wiped soot from his face. “He’s gone.”Fiona clenched her fists. “He’s hiding.”Bella, still shaken, checked the surrounding area. “No body. No sign of him.”Marcus’s voice crackled over the earpiece. “That explosion just tripped every radar in the region. We have maybe twenty minutes before the authorities arrive.”Fiona barely heard him.She was staring at the ground near the blast site, her brain working faster than her body could react.Something was off.William wasn’t reckless—he didn’t just set off bombs without an es

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 159
The silence in the safe house was thick with tension. The confrontation with Morrigan had left more questions than answers, and Fiona couldn’t shake the feeling that they had walked straight into a carefully laid trap. Her words echoed in Fiona’s mind—The question is, what will you do with that power? Darwin stood near the window, watching the Parisian skyline as if it held the answers they sought. His jaw was clenched, the weight of their predicament pressing down on him. Outside, the city buzzed with life, oblivious to the war being waged in the shadows. “She wasn’t just testing us,” Thalassa said, breaking the silence. “She was studying us. Measuring our reactions.” “And she knows we won’t back down,” Fiona added, crossing her arms. “Which means we just painted a target on our backs.” Marcus exhaled sharply, rubbing his temples. “Morrigan isn’t playing by the same rules as Lucian or William. She’s not after domination—she wants control but on a different scale.” “Which makes h
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 158
The tension in the safe house was thick, an unspoken weight pressing down on them as they absorbed the implications of their meeting with Morrigan. The woman was unlike any adversary they had faced before—calculated, controlled, and entirely unshaken. She hadn’t threatened them outright, but her words had carried a far more insidious warning: they were playing a game much bigger than they had realized, and she had just invited them to the next level. Fiona ran a hand through her hair, pacing near the window. “She knew exactly how to find us, how to draw us in. That means we’ve already underestimated her.” Darwin leaned against the table, arms crossed. “She wants us to believe we have a choice. That we can either join her or become casualties.” “She’s right about one thing,” Thalassa murmured from her seat in the corner. “Lucian’s fall left a power vacuum. And it’s naive to think it would just disappear.” Marcus, who had been silent until now, looked up from his laptop. “She’s als
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 157
The chill of the Parisian night clung to Fiona as she and Darwin exited the airstrip. The conversation with their informant had left them with more questions than answers. Morrigan—an enigma wrapped in shadows, with tendrils reaching into the remnants of Lucian’s empire. If they wanted to bring the fight to their enemy, they had to find the puppet master before the strings tightened around their throats. Back at the safe house, Marcus had been busy. “I traced another transaction,” he announced as they entered. His fingers danced across the keyboard, pulling up several encrypted files. “This shell company isn’t just funding private security firms. It’s also making direct payments to political figures in three different countries.” Fiona leaned over his shoulder, studying the screen. “Someone is buying influence.” “Not just influence,” Thalassa interjected, arms crossed. “They’re rebuilding Lucian’s control network. These politicians were in his pocket. If Morrigan is keeping them f
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 156
The media storm ignited by the leaked files spread like wildfire. Every major news outlet dissected the revelations, exposing names that once seemed untouchable. Protests grew in intensity, and the world demanded accountability. But Fiona knew better than to believe their fight was over. At the safe house, the team remained on high alert. The air was thick with tension as they watched the fallout unfold on the news. Marcus monitored chatter from intelligence circles, tracking the movements of those who still held power within Lucian’s crumbling empire. "There’s a problem," he announced, eyes fixed on his screen. "Several high-profile figures have vanished. No official resignations, no public statements—just gone." Darwin frowned. "That means they’re regrouping. They won’t take this lying down." Fiona exhaled sharply. "We expected this. They’ll strike back. We just don’t know when or how." Thalassa, pacing near the window, added, "We rattled the cage, but the beast isn’t dead yet
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 155
The Parisian skyline was still cloaked in darkness when Fiona, Darwin, and their team regrouped at the safe house. The victory against Lucian should have felt like a moment of triumph, but there was no time for celebration. The weight of unfinished business still loomed over them. Marcus was the first to break the silence. "Lucian’s network is collapsing, but we’re not out of the woods yet. There are still remnants of his influence embedded in global power structures. We need to root them out before they regroup." Thalassa exhaled sharply. "We’ve taken down the head, but the body is still twitching." Darwin ran a hand through his disheveled hair. "Then we strike before they can recover. We need to dismantle the infrastructure that kept Lucian’s empire afloat. That means targeting his offshore accounts, his shell corporations, and his political backers." Fiona, who had been unusually quiet, finally spoke. "We also need to secure our safety. Lucian may be dead, but his allies won’t
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 154
The air in the Zurich safe house was thick with tension. The video they had just watched still lingered in everyone’s minds. The Echelon was not defeated. If anything, they had just been provoked. Fiona exhaled, running a hand through her hair. "So we cut off the head of the snake, and now the body is lashing out. We need a plan." Darwin nodded, pacing near the window. "We have their financial records and safe houses. We can track their movements, but they already know we’re coming. We need to be one step ahead." Thalassa leaned back against the couch, her sharp eyes assessing the room. "They have power, influence. What we need is leverage. Something to force them into the open." Marcus tapped away on his laptop. "That might be harder than it sounds. The Echelon operates in shadows. Every time we take one of their members down, another takes their place. But..." He trailed off, his fingers flying over the keyboard. "There’s a name that keeps coming up in their encrypted messages—
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 153
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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 152
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
