His Dead Wife: No Longer the Surrogate Bride CHAPTER 120
The night air over Blackstone carried a tension that hummed beneath the surface. It was quiet, coiled, waiting. Even with the hour pushing deep into night, the estate did not dim.Lights still burned in the lower halls, across the courtyard, along the perimeter walls. Every beam of illumination was intentional, every shadow watched.Dominic stood in the lower study long after the others had gone. He went up a few hours ago to read Nicholas his book, said good night and watched until he had fallen asleep.The dim glow of the desk lamp cut across the sharp angles of his face, leaving his eyes in shadow. The footage had already been watched, analyzed, memorized. Every frame of it lived now in his mind. He studied the angle of the car, the timing of the interception, the posture of the man who stepped out.Roberto Douglas.He appeared not by coincidence or chance.It’s a declaration.His father’s reach had not only endured but had been reawakened.And with it, the war Dominic had held at

Dominic is already standing at the foot of the entrance steps when the gates of Blackstone opened without delay and the SUV passed through the inner drive.His expression is controlled but the tension in his shoulders betrayed the speed at which he had moved the moment the alert came through.The vehicle came to a smooth stop. Before the engine had even fully idled, Dominic was already descending the steps, his hand reaching out when the rear door opened.Althea stepped out.For a fraction of a second, everything else faded around him. The guards, the stone walls, the comms chatter fading into background noise.Dominic’s eyes moved over her quickly. He looked at her face, hands, posture and her breathing. Through it all, Althea remained calm.She met his gaze calmly.“I’m alright, Dom.” She assured softly, as if she already knew what he was looking for.Dominic exhaled once.He stepped forward and reached for her. His one hand coming to her arm, then her shoulder, grounding himself in

Aurelio acted on his own and not sent a word to his father. He did not ask permission nor request clearance through the channels that his father is tightly controlling.He even refused to listen to his father’s main man, Vittorio. He did not consult with the Valtieri advisors, the watchers and strategists that are usually moving the pieces for the Valtieri name.For the first time in years, he acted on his own.Because this was not business.This was not logistics.This was about Althea.Since he heard from his father about the move Dominic did, he started to watch Althea.The Devereaux Medical Complex rose like a quiet fortress of its own, glass, steel, and clean white light. A place built for healing.A place that, to the outside world, held no connection to the shadows moving beneath it.But Aurelio knew better.He knew who protect it and who moved through its doors without leaving records.He knew her and had started memorizing her schedule for the past two days.Althea will be ar

That night, Nicholas, who is already in his jammies with prints of dinosaurs, wandered into Dominic’s office again. He was carrying his green, dinosaur plushie as well as his book“Papa, are we in trouble?” He asked softly.Dominic turned in his chair, stood up and pulled his son into his arms. He sat back on his chair and settled Nicholas on his lap.“No, we’re not in trouble, Nico.” He answered calmly.Nicholas studied him carefully.“You’re not mad?” He questioned again intently, his eyes looking up at him in earnest. He clutched his plushie tightly. “I didn’t mean to touch the box, Papa.”Dominic smiled faintly, pulling him gently into his chest.“You didn’t break anything.” He assured quietly.But, deep down, in truth, Nicholas had unlocked the war. It was not in the way Luca intended. He had revealed the one move Luca never accounted for.Dominic did not need the Valtieri throne because he could outgrow it.“What time are you going to sleep?” He asked, changing the subject. “Did

The chapel doors closed quietly behind Seraphina with a low, final echo that seemed to seal the moment into something irreversible.Dominic did not move. He just stood in the center of the stone floor, the wooden box still in his hand, his gaze fixed on the man who had just stepped fully into the filtered light of the chapel.For a second, the past and the present overlapped. The shadows of memory laid over the reality in front of him.The man inclined his head slightly, acknowledging Seraphina as she passed. She returned the gesture, then turned to her son.Their eyes met for one last look, something unreadable, something unfinished. She finally disappeared into the passage behind the altar, the stone panel sliding back into place as if she had never been there at all.The silence she left behind pressed in on the room.Antonio Rossi.Dominic exhaled slowly.He looked older than Dominic remembered but not diminished nor frail.Time had not weakened him. It had refined him.His dark h

Dominic stared ahead as the corridor grew quieter the farther, he went. Halfway down, he stopped at a section of wall that looked like every other.Stone. Shadow. Memory.He raised his hand and pressed his palm to a specific stone.A soft click answered and the wall shifted inward.The tunnel opened, bringing the cool air below as well as the faint smell of earth and old secrets. Dominic moved through it without hesitation every turn embedded in his memory since childhood. Dominic could make out the concealed door at the far end that leads toward the chapel.Candles flickered.Seraphina Valtieri stood before the altar, her back to him. Her stance looked as if she had been waiting long before he ever arrived.“Mama.”“You always take the direct path.” She said without turning.“And you always choose the hidden ones.” Dominic replied.She turned slowly and for a moment, there was no council, no Luca, no empire.Only mother and son standing in the same room after years of distance carved
