Falling For My Surrogate Mistress CHAPTER 8
Fiona hadn’t expected it to be easy. Nothing ever was where Darwin Solomon was concerned. But as the days wore on, she found herself drawn deeper into his world again—this time, with no illusions about the consequences.The glittering skyline outside Darwin’s penthouse painted the city in shades of gold and deep violet. From the expansive windows, she could see the towers of Bay City, a world of power, wealth, and the ever-present tension that came with it. Fiona sank back into the plush leather chair, feeling the weight of what lay ahead. Her fingers brushed across the folder in front of her—evidence of the threats closing in on them, on her. The files were filled with betrayal, sabotage, and lies.Despite Darwin’s warnings, there was still a part of her that wanted to turn away from this fight. After all, she had spent years in the shadows, enduring as Darwin’s stand-in for Lilian. She had watched from the sidelines as his world spun out of control. But now, everything was different

The minutes felt like hours as Fiona stood beside Darwin, staring at the glowing lights of Bay City, each one representing a potential threat, a rival, or an obstacle in their path. The air between them was thick with the weight of their shared knowledge. The trap was set, and it was only a matter of time before it would snap shut.Fiona knew they couldn't afford to wait around. Bella and William had already made their move, and while Fiona had spent the last few days covering her tracks, the danger was still very real. Darwin was right to be worried. Once their enemies knew they were no longer hiding in the shadows, everything would change.“We need to get ahead of them,” Fiona said, breaking the silence that had lingered since Darwin had caught up with her. Her voice was steady, even though her insides were churning with anxiety. “We can’t afford to wait for them to make the first move.”Darwin nodded, his face taut with determination. “I’ve already started moving pieces into place.

Fiona’s fingers trembled as she clutched her phone, staring at the message that had just appeared on the screen. They know. The words echoed in her mind, sending a chill down her spine. Her heart raced, and the weight of the moment pressed heavily on her chest. Had she made a mistake by playing both sides? Or had the walls she was trying to carefully build already begun to collapse?Her breath came in shallow bursts as she stepped out of the elevator, the sound of the doors closing behind her almost deafening in the stillness. The marble floors of the building gleamed under the overhead lights, but everything felt suddenly distant. The polished, pristine world of R&K Electronics, and by extension, her entire carefully constructed world, seemed to blur at the edges. This wasn’t just a business game anymore; it was war, and she was standing right at the frontline.She quickly gathered herself, forcing the rush of panic back into the recesses of her mind. There was no time to second-gues

The moon hung high in the sky, casting a soft glow over the city that never slept. Bay City seemed alive with an energy that pulsated through the streets, but Fiona’s mind was far from the vibrant lights and sounds. Her world had narrowed down to a singular thought: they were running out of time. She sat at her desk, the once-organized piles of paperwork scattered in front of her, untouched. Her phone lay next to her, its silence almost as loud as the chaos she was feeling inside. Darwin had been distant since their last conversation, but that was understandable. There was little time for pleasantries when the stakes were this high. They had both been walking on the edge for too long, and one misstep could send them tumbling into the abyss. The message from her mysterious contact still echoed in her mind: They know. It wasn’t just an idle warning—it was a declaration of war. Fiona had thought she could outsmart William, could play him the same way she had played others, but William

Fiona stared at the message in disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest as the words seemed to etch themselves into her mind. I know what you’re planning. And I’m coming for you. There was no mistaking the cold, calculated tone of the warning. William was no longer just a business rival or an obstacle in her path. He had become a predator, hunting her down with ruthless precision. For a long moment, she simply stood there, her phone in hand, her mind racing. She had known the stakes were high, but now, the weight of her situation felt suffocating. There was no room for error. The game had shifted, and the consequences of any misstep would be dire. But despite the fear gnawing at her insides, Fiona knew she couldn’t back down. She couldn’t allow William to destroy everything she had worked for—and more importantly, everything she was about to build with Darwin. Thalassa’s voice cut through her thoughts. “Fiona, what did he say?” Fiona looked up, meeting her best friend’s concerned

The elevator hummed softly as it descended to the underground garage, but Fiona's heart raced faster than the machine could move. Thalassa’s voice echoed in her mind, her best friend’s urgent warning laced with fear: “They’re on their way to you. Don’t wait. Move now.”Darwin stood beside her, his stance stiff and his jaw set in a grim line. Though he hadn’t questioned her urgency, she knew he didn’t yet grasp the full gravity of the situation. The cold efficiency in his movements betrayed his years of operating under high stakes, but this wasn’t just a business deal gone wrong. This was personal, and it was dangerous.“Darwin,” she said, her voice low but firm, “this isn’t just a scare tactic. William’s people are coming for us, and they aren’t going to play fair.”His gaze shifted to her, sharp and assessing. “I figured as much. That’s why I’ve already locked the building down and stationed more guards at the exits.”She wanted to believe that would be enough, but deep down, she dou

Chapter 14: Echoes in the DarkThe night felt heavier, each shadow cast by the dim streetlights seeming to pulse with unseen threats. Fiona watched Darwin examine her phone, his jaw set and his eyes cold with focus. The device in his hand beeped, the sound cutting through the stillness of the deserted parking lot like a blade.“There,” Darwin said, holding up the phone. “A tracking software embedded in your GPS.”Fiona’s heart sank. “How did they even manage that? I’ve been careful.”“Not careful enough,” Darwin replied, his tone sharper than he intended. He sighed and softened. “It’s not your fault. They’ve probably been watching you for months, planting this the moment they saw an opportunity.”The thought sent a chill through her. William Newton’s reach seemed limitless, and the idea that he had been surveilling her so intimately left her feeling exposed. She wrapped her arms around herself, seeking comfort where there was none.Darwin took a moment to disable the tracking software

The following day, the safe house was cloaked in an unsettling quiet, as though the world outside didn’t exist. Fiona awoke to the sound of birds chirping faintly beyond the high walls, a stark contrast to the chaos that had engulfed her life. For a moment, she allowed herself to imagine what normalcy might feel like—a life free from fear, secrets, and the weight of Darwin Solomon’s world.But reality intruded swiftly.She found Darwin in the kitchen, poring over documents spread across the granite countertop. His brow furrowed as his fingers tapped absently on the table. He looked like a man on the brink of war—focused, calculating, and deadly.“Morning,” she said, her voice breaking the silence.Darwin glanced up, his expression softening ever so slightly. “Morning. Did you sleep?”“Not much,” Fiona admitted, pouring herself a glass of water. “It’s hard to rest when you’re wondering what’s going to happen next.”Darwin nodded. “We’ll make our move soon. I just need to finish tying u

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

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
