Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 66
The silence William left behind was suffocating.Fiona stood motionless, eyes locked on the detonator at her feet. The weight of his escape pressed against her ribs, more suffocating than the smoke curling in the air.Darwin stepped forward, wiping the blood from his brow. His voice was tight. “We can’t let him go.”Bella, still clutching her injured arm, exhaled sharply. “He’s playing us. Again.”Fiona clenched her fists. Every instinct told her to chase him, to hunt him down before he vanished into the night. But the risk—Her mind raced. If the explosives were real, William had just forced their hand.If they ignored the detonator and pursued him, how many innocent people would suffer?Darwin’s gaze burned into her. “Fiona?”She swallowed hard, her voice calm but edged with frustration. “We need to find the bombs first.”Bella cursed under her breath. “You’re kidding.”Darwin exhaled, shaking his head. “She’s right.”Bella took a step forward, anger flashing in her eyes. “No, she’s

The night was far from over.Fiona leaned against a scorched tree, catching her breath as the last bomb lay deactivated at her feet. Her hands were steady, but the tension in her muscles refused to fade.William had slipped away—again.And worse, she wasn’t sure he had been alone.That shadow in the trees. The flicker of movement. Someone had been watching her.Her earpiece crackled.“Fiona?” Marcus’s voice cut through the static. “Tell me you got it.”She inhaled sharply. “It’s done.”A pause. Then—relief. “Good. Because Darwin and Bella just lost him.”Fiona’s stomach tightened.Lost him.She clenched her fists. How many times had they been this close, only for William to pull the rug out from under them?Not this time.She turned, sprinting back toward Darwin and Bella.The hunt wasn’t over.Not even close.---Meanwhile—A Ghost on the RunWilliam adjusted the rearview mirror, smirking as the city lights blurred in the distance.They had underestimated him.

William’s voice crackled through the speakers, thick with amusement.“I was beginning to think you wouldn’t make it.”Fiona’s grip on her weapon tightened. The dimly lit warehouse was silent except for the hum of the old speaker system, but she could feel the weight of unseen eyes.Bella exhaled sharply. “I knew this was a setup.”Darwin’s jaw clenched. “No way out but through.”Fiona scanned the room. The flickering light cast long shadows over rusted crates and broken-down machinery. The walls were lined with metal grates, making it clear—this was no ordinary warehouse. It had been chosen. Prepared.She tapped her earpiece. “Marcus, tell me you’re getting this.”Silence.Then static.Fiona’s stomach dropped.Bella swore under her breath. “Comms are jammed.”William’s chuckle filtered through the speakers. “Clever, aren’t you?” A pause. “But not clever enough.”Fiona exchanged a look with Darwin. They had walked into William’s lair, and he had made sure they were cut off from the out

The city pulsed with a restless energy as Fiona, Bella, and Darwin navigated through the dark alleyways, putting distance between themselves and the warehouse. The faint smell of smoke clung to their clothes, a reminder of the explosion they had barely escaped.Darwin staggered slightly, his wound slowing him down. Fiona instinctively moved to support him, but he waved her off.“I said I’m fine,” he muttered through gritted teeth.Bella scoffed. “Yeah? Because you look like you’re about to keel over.”Fiona ignored them both and focused on her earpiece. “Marcus, say that again. Where is William going?”Marcus’s voice crackled through. “I traced some last-minute financial movements linked to his shell companies. He’s preparing to board a private jet at Blackridge Airfield.”Fiona’s stomach tightened. “That’s too far for him to get there on foot. He’ll have a car waiting.”“Already on it,” Marcus confirmed. “Traffic cams picked up an armored SUV leaving a location near the warehouse rig

The airfield was a flurry of activity—sirens blaring, floodlights casting long shadows across the tarmac, and the distant roar of incoming vehicles. Fiona, Bella, and Darwin stood over William, his face contorted in pain, his breathing shallow but defiant. The weight of everything crashed down on Fiona in that moment. It was over. After all the betrayals, the chases, the fights, they had finally cornered him.But there was still one loose end.Bella, keeping her gun trained on William, sneered. “I should put a bullet in your head right now. Save everyone the trouble.”Fiona tightened her grip on her weapon. “No. He’s going to pay for everything, but not like this.”William chuckled, though the sound was strained. “You think I’m done? This isn’t over.”Darwin’s face hardened. “Yes, it is.”Blue and red lights painted the airfield as the police vehicles skidded to a stop. Armed officers poured out, moving quickly to secure the area. Marcus’s voice crackled over the comms.“Good news. Th

The city was quieter than usual at dawn. The streets were nearly empty, save for a few early commuters, and the air carried the scent of rain from a storm that had passed in the night. Fiona stared out the window of the safehouse, her fingers wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee. Her body ached, exhaustion weighing on her, but her mind wouldn’t slow down.William was gone. Arrested. Exposed.But the fight wasn’t over.Bella sat at the small kitchen table, scrolling through her phone, while Darwin leaned against the counter, still nursing his injured shoulder. Marcus, as usual, was planted in front of his monitors, typing furiously as he sifted through whatever intelligence he had gathered overnight.“I made some calls,” Marcus said, breaking the silence. “William’s arrest is already making waves. Some of his people are scattering. A few were picked up trying to board flights out of the country.”Bella snorted. “Cowards.”Fiona took a sip of her coffee. “Any sign of pushback?”Marcu

The city never slept, and neither did their enemies.Fiona sat at the kitchen table of the safehouse, tapping her fingers against a steaming mug of coffee. The tension in the room was thick. They had William behind bars, Monroe feeding them intel, and the Echelon in disarray. But there was still one thing they couldn’t ignore—power vacuums never stayed empty for long.Darwin leaned against the counter, his injured shoulder stiff but manageable. Bella sat across from Fiona, arms crossed, her sharp gaze flicking between them. Marcus, typing away on his laptop, was the only one who looked at ease, but Fiona knew better. He thrived in chaos.“Alright,” Marcus said, pushing his chair back. “Monroe’s information checks out. Offshore accounts, shell companies, hidden assets. He didn’t lie.”Bella scoffed. “Of course he didn’t. He knows the only thing keeping him breathing is his usefulness.”Fiona glanced at Monroe, who sat in the corner, hands cuffed to the chair. His expression was unreada

The room fell into a stunned silence.Fiona could hear the hum of the warehouse’s flickering lights, the faint sound of the city beyond, but everything else faded into the background. A hit. On them.Marcus’s voice crackled through their earpieces again, urgent and clipped. “Fiona, Darwin, Bella—you’ve all got bounties on your heads. This isn’t just some underground contract. We’re talking about a full-scale, multi-tiered kill order. Every mercenary, assassin, and rogue operative out there is going to be looking for you.”Darwin exhaled slowly, running a hand over his face. “How much?”A pause.“Five million each,” Marcus said. “Fifteen million total.”Bella let out a sharp laugh, shaking her head. “Damn. We’re worth that much?”Fiona ignored the sarcasm. “Who put the order out?”Marcus hesitated. “It was relayed through encrypted channels, but the origin point traces back to multiple shell accounts linked to… Luther Cain.”All eyes turned to Cain, still sitting calmly in his chair, b

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.

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
Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 168
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
